It just needs the patience to apply and gently scrub with mild chemicals for several hours.

Until you have to deal with bed and breakfast rules for RSUs. Good luck getting free software to understand that. There are a couple of open source attempts but they are skeleton at best.

At certain times of day the London underground deliberately directs people to longer paths around the stations to alleviate congestion. This kind of thing could be a health benefit.

There's an industry wide deficit of tests for AI right now. It's not just this tool, it's everything you add to your code base or your development flow that uses AI. Nobody had tests for "how fast/well was this developed" before AI and they haven't added them now.

The real question is did the hardware stores back in the day care that the miners were digging for gold?

Right but they also state they have never implemented TURN which IMO is a marker of WebRTC expertness. (I haven't btw, just the WebRTC experts I know absolutely have written or worked on at some point a TURN implementation)

forgotusername6 — Sat, 09 May 2026 07:21:20 +0000

I've been struggling with markdown recently as I really want the claims it makes in documents to be programmatically verifiable e.g. citations, I want a simple script to check that each of the files and lines of code it references actually exist. Perhaps HTML can be used for this. It certainly has a better chance than markdown.

Surely there's a googler on here who actually knows whether they are doing this. Anyone actually know or is this post all about Chrome bashing and speculation?

New comment by forgotusername6 in "New statue in London, attributed to Banksy, of a suited man, blinded by a flag"

forgotusername6 — Sun, 03 May 2026 20:22:35 +0000

I think it's a reasonable statue. But does anyone else think it's a bit obvious, more so than his other work? Like there is no doubt on the meaning at all, it's all right there on the surface level.

This applies to pretty much every situation. It is not just about visual things, it is more about things that are easy to have an opinion on. Its similar concept to bike shedding, but with the added emphasis of the decision maker. Though the very fact we even call them that kind of implies that they should have a say right? I guess we object to the kind of say that they have. Should a decision maker just make binary decisions? Yes to this, no to that.

New comment by forgotusername6 in "A good AGENTS.md is a model upgrade. A bad one is worse than no docs at all"

forgotusername6 — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 19:47:21 +0000

Interesting that they had a 100% read rate of agents.md. In my test repo lower down agents.md files were occasionally missed by vscode copilot. That fact put me off putting too much effort into nesting agents.md files too much within the repo and I've been focusing on agent skills instead.

There's an install element in the works. Perhaps that will make it more obvious how to install it https://github.com/WICG/install-element?tab=readme-ov-file

Internal restrictions are such that even aspiring software Devs find hurdles to doing basic automation. I know someone who wanted to use python, yes just use it, and it took months to be allowed to do that on an NHS machine.

If these different agents could agree on a standard location that would be great. The specs are almost the same for .github and Claude but Claude won't even look at the .github location.

Received from the person who taught it to you. Apparently it is meant to be taught/learnt. It was a way of leveling out all the regional accents for public school pupils. You too can have RP if you want it, it's not owned by the southerners!

Is there anything really wrong with cartilage, skin, tendons etc? Is that actually unhealthy or is that squeamishness? Also is there anything wrong with it coming from multiple animals? I.e. homogenisation of the product.
