I get being charged per-run, to recoup the infra cost, but what about my total runtime on my machine impacts what GH needs to spend to trigger my build?

But I do occasionally have a vivid dream, and though I can't be certain I could swear that I remember more vivid dreams as a child/early adolescent. But by the time I was entering college I rarely remember my dreams and the ones I do remember are like those I described above with little visualization.

It's really interesting to hear about how others perceive these sensory experiences.

Dreaming feel reminiscent to what an Audiobook feels like when thinking about the dream after waking up.

I know a few folks from college who got it done and a bit over decade later they're going strong. My own surgery is just about hitting a decade (couple of months shy). That said, I have a family friend who had bladed LASIK done in their 50s (late 2000s) and their outcome was bad with total loss of sight in the affected eye. The result on their other eye was barely an improvement but plenty of scarring lead to halos and starbursts.

Also, I could only get my prescription filled in high-index lenses as the normal lenses would be too thick for nearly any glasses shop to order and grind. And had been that way for at least a decade by the time I opted for LASIK.

Poor control of my eye reflexes meant that even after over a year of trying I still couldn't reliably wear contacts, and was a highly stressful part of my day when I managed to get them on.

I had a family friend that went for LASIK very early on (late 2000s iirc) and had a horrible outcome losing sight in one eye, and a couple of friends in college that had amazing outcomes, so I had seen both sides. Ultimately, the LASIK operation was a very quick and pleasant operation for me, and the results were beyond my expectations. Nearly a decade later, my eyesight is still fine though I think I'm starting to see some blurring at middle distances that wasn't there a couple years ago. Did get some strong starbursts at night for a couple of years but I've either gotten used to them or they've faded.

After wearing glasses for around 20 years of my life, I love the freedom of no longer wearing them.

Though with how SpaceX has been blowing up rockets left and right, probably a good idea to not have nuclear materials launching until that's been resolved entirely.

Boca Chica beach is a mess now, I can only imagine what new Fallout installment we'd get if South Texas became irradiated from a failed launch.

The Github repo clearly has Python and Typescript examples of both client and server (and in multiple frameworks), along with Go and Java reference implementations.

Maybe check the whole repo before calling something vaporware?

It's all just ideological things that Project 2025/MAGA/Daddy Musk doesn't like. The CFPB is a perfect example. Musk wants to get into finance so he's gutting a department that only exists to protect consumers.

That said, that's kinda cheating since Mint is a T-Mobile MVNO and I haven't tried it outside my usual T-Mobile service area.

I'm struggling to not gush about this book and trying to avoid spoilers, but if you like a good sci-fi action/adventure book with a strong lean towards a journey of self discover it's really worth a read.

You can always forget to add some margin here or there, or fail to plan for problems that might pop up. It's easy to game the system because sunk costs make it nearly impossible to switch once you've started.

The article title is talking about location data and computers, I've seen many people forget floating point precision when comparing and getting bit by tiny differences at the 10^-9 or smaller. That seems just as obvious on the outset as non-unique location designations in what the average person would assume to be a dataset that's intentionally unique and unambiguous.

I've never had cause to see the abbreviated form of nautical miles, but I know nanometers. Also, given purely the title I could see it being some kind of data collision due to precision errors between to locations that should be the same airport but perhaps two different sensors.

Ignoring that half the reason they can ask for whatever they want is that they are the last standing expert on some esoteric internal thing. Of course you get treated well! Too bad the rest of us don't have 15+ yrs here and practically own this or that piece code.

This is a device you _live_ in. This is someone's mobility and independence you're talking about. Not a "I spend 30 minutes to an hour a day riding", or a "I commute to work on this" but instead "I use this to enjoy life".

Find is a very powerful and useful tool, and the author gave a clear example of when and where it might be useful. They also called out how to prevent accidents with `rm`.

We switched to Git as a whole in early 2009 since it was already a better experience than SVN at the time. Could be off by a year or two, given how long ago this was and the fact that I was working with the group through the end of high school in 2007-2008.

We only added GitHub to our training later in 2011-2013 era, but we ran our own bare git repos on our department servers until then. And students/groups were responsible for setting up their own repos for their research projects (with assistance/guidance to ensure security on the server).

Last job also made use of our own internal bare repos, admittedly mirrors of our private GH projects, and our stack pulled from that mirror to ensure we always had an instance that was not dependent on an external vendor.

Current role also makes use of bare git repos for similar reasons.

I think the knowledge is there and plenty people do it, it's just not news/blog worthy anymore. It's not new or groundbreaking so it gets little attention.
