This is a couple of years old now, but at one point Janelle Shane found that the only reliable way to avoid being flagged as AI was to use AI with a certain style prompt

I had the same experience as peer comments. I'm on Pixel 8 and Google Fi. When I check for updates, I'm told I'm up-to-date with the last update being over a month old.

You should see an "unvote" or "undown" link to the right of the timestamp (i.e. the opposite side from where the vote arrows were). It's fairly subtle.

Yeah, I never send a PR out without reviewing each commit myself and adding GitHub comments when I think it's relevant. Sometimes a PR is clear enough that I don't feel the need to add comments, though.

I self review but I don’t add comments I just fix the problems that I find. I should add clarifying comments.

I'd say "good old days" thinking is probably involved, but not the full explanation. Over the past few decades, software has gone from a fairly obscure profession to being seen as a great way (maybe the best way) to make a lot of money. In absolute numbers, there are probably at least as many engaged, curious engineers as before. There are almost certainly drastically more uninterested engineers who are there partially or fully because of the money, though.

Dunno. I’ve been at this since the late ‘80’s, and have run into precious few developers who were interested in software and programming for its own sake. For most of them it was just a job.

For others who didn't know, the -u flag in the OP's command makes it so ripgrep _will_ search files even if they're gitignored

-u searches through ignored files

-uu searches through ignored and hidden files (eg dotfiles)

-uuu searches through ignored, hidden, and binary files (ie everything)

Yeah, the main news I want to hear is the release of smaller Pixel phone. Secondarily, I'd like the return of the 3.5mm port. I don't care about any of the stuff they actually announce.

I do currently use a Pixel, but I hate how big it is.

You prefer wired to non-wired headphones?

I prefer to have the option. There are many sound systems i'd like to use that are wired only.

It isn't nearly as big of an issue as the phone size, but it is still a nuisance. I know there's no chance of it ever coming back, but I'd like it to.

I still have a small amount of hope that someone will make a modern, well supported ~5" Android phone. But that's also feeling less likely.

I'd say a large part of the country had the same sentiment about George W Bush. I'm not sure whether that was true or just an act, though. In politics, I think the opposite of Hanlon's razor has often been applicable. It's easy to feign ignorance to avoid responsibility.

That being said, I believe there has been an increase in genuinely dumb people in American politics in the past ~15 years.

George W. Bush scored well above average on standardized tests. People who worked with him and have no reason to lie report that he was deeply engaged on policy issues and had a good command of the facts. And yet despite all that he still managed to make some truly terrible decisions that still negatively impact the country today.

It was really the mainstream media who falsely labeled him as an idiot. The "chattering class" who make their living by speaking and writing tend to denigrate others who aren't particularly good at those things, regardless of their other abilities or achievements.

I always felt there were dim/smart, benign/malicious axes in politics.

Nixon for example: malicious but very very smart (eg wrt China).

Reagan: not a razor, but fundamentally good-willed (see for example his interactions with Tip O'Neill from the other party)

Dim and malicious is of course the worst of all. Not least because such people will attract the smart and malicious like flies.

History suggests that a divided America tends to elect less effective leadership. The goal of the electorate becomes less about electing someone who will support your causes and more about electing someone who won't screw you over.

We saw this in the so-called "bumbling generation" that led up to the Civil War, and when a President widely regarded as more charismatic and competent President was elected, several states panicked and seceded.

At one point the org I work for used it for internal documentation. They migrated off of it many years ago, though.

Huh, that's interesting. Mixing indexes and FKs is a major conceptual error.

FWIW, I've also asked everyone I've interviewed in the past decade about indexes and FKs. Most folks I've talked to seem to understand FKs. They're often fuzzier on the details of indexes, but I don't recall anyone conflating the two.

I guess it depends on how much time you’ve spent in a relational db. For people who mostly interact with them via an orm, I can see where the confusion comes from.
