Perhaps they’ll rely on what was used by people who answered SO questions. So: official docs and maybe source code. Maybe even from experience too, i.e. from human feedback and human written code during agentic coding sessions.

> The fact that the LLM doesn't insult you is just the cherry on top.

Arguably it does insult even more, just by existing alone.

Technically they could get some paper stating “you own one vinyl” and we would use less plastic and storage (and we’d get an alternative monetary system perhaps).

Where the logo is.

And when the port is vertical and you can’t see it?

I’m surprised how tolerable people seemed to find Apples rear ports.

It gets a pass from me. The JS content didn’t annoy me, e.g. it didn’t show me any off topic popups, so I didn’t feel the need to disable JS.

Example output if anyone else is curious:

    def fragile(x):
        lst = [None]
        lst[x - 42]
        return "ok"
    
    def test_fragile():
        assert fragile(42) == "ok"

this doesn't seem like a very useful test...? i'm more interested in the failure modes when input != 42, what happens when i pass NaN to that etc...

jmo, but tests should be a chance to improve the implementation of functions not just one-off "write and forget" confirmations of the happy path only... automating all that just short-circuits that whole process... but maybe i'm missing something.

> Golf cannot be played in tidy 1-yard increments.

Sure, but it requires tidy increments of effort and practice. At least according to advice from a reddit thread about golf[1].

> To make a golden necklace, you must start with gold.

But maybe practice with silver or copper necklaces first, or you’ll waste time and money for no good reason.

[1]: https://old.reddit.com/r/golf/comments/sgppbe/whats_the_best... e.g.: “Get a lesson to identify flaws and get drills to work on said flaws. Go to the range and practice those drills to get them down. Rinse. Repeat.”

The golf swing is extremely non-intuitive for several reasons, not the least of which is the physics of trying to swing a hunk of metal at the end of a 3-foot rod around your body at 100mph. Fixing one thing will often send something else out of whack. Improving the golf swing requires system-level analysis, trying new things to see what else is affected, and then fixing the regressions.

Ben Hogan once said something along the lines of:

"Reverse every natural instinct and do the opposite of what you are inclined to do, and you will probably come very close to having a perfect golf swing.”

Thanks! Now I get: https://dosaygo-studio.github.io/prime-news/index.html?p=931... (the next page) and interestingly the newest prime was 42 seconds old with a title of [delayed] - someone's delay setting I guess.

Yeah you’ve been able to do this for over a decade. They can’t really stop it:

- Git commits form an immutable merkel dag. So commits can’t be changed without changing all subsequent hashes in a git tree

- Commits by default embed your email address.

I suppose GitHub could hide the commit itself, and make you download commits using the cli to be able to see someone’s email address. Would that be any better? It’s not more secure. Just less convenient.

Git (the version control program, not GitHub) associates the author’s email address with every single commit. The user of Git configures this email address. This isn’t secret information.

> What’s the point of the “Keep my email addresses private” github option and “noreply” emails then?

Those settings will affect what email shows up in commits.

In commits you vreate on other tooling you can configure a fake/alternate user.email address in gitconfig. Git (not just GitHub) needs some email address flr each commit but it is freetext.

There is one problem: commit signatures. For GitHub to consider a commit not created by github.com Web UI to be "verified" and get a green check mark, the following needs to hold:

- Commit is signed

- Commit email address matches a verified GH account email address

So you can not use a 'nocontact@thih9.example.com' address and get green checks on your commits - it needs to be an address that is at least active when you add it to your account.

Run git show on any commit object, or look at the default output of git log, and you'll see the same. Your author name and email are always public. If you want, use a specific public address for those purposes.

That is demonatratively not true on github and gitlab, both having the ability to set an email alias which redirects the messages to your real email without revealing it.

https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/how-tos/email...

I don't think you necessarily disagree with that I'm saying.

1. git commits record an author name and email

2. github/gitlab offer an email relay so you can choose to configure your git client (and any browser-based commits you generate) to record that as the email address

3. github/gitlab do not rewrite your pushed commits to "sanitize" any "private" email addresses

4. the .patch suffix "trick" just shows what was recorded in the commit

When I said

> If you want, use a specific public address for those purposes.

that includes using the github/gitlab relay address -- but make sure to actually change your gitconfig, you can't just configure it on the web and be done.

You chose which email to commit with, and GitHub provides you an email you can use if you don’t want to expose your personal email.

Just wait until you find out what is written on every single git commit that can be fetched.

Don’t keep us in suspense! :)

Git commits contain the author's name and email address.

Was expecting something more exciting haha.
