My understanding is that he is involved in the development of Zed

I find Zed's feature choices to be really poor, and then I probably made a poor association based on his talking about zed

Hashimoto writes Ghostty in the Zig programming language. There might be a mixup here between Zig and Zed.

It makes selectively stash/peeking/applying etc easier. Their flagship feature, the hover popup to reveal original commit/PR that you can click on is usefe for investigation.

Maybe vscode has these built-in by now? Using the Gitless fork so not that annoying.

Yes, the blame feature is built-in now, with pop-up and all.

A while ago I uninstalled that horribly annoying GitLens and have been using external tools ever since. I don't want ads in my IDE and I'll uninstall the whole IDE if that's what it takes. Maybe Edamagit will make me use git from within VSCode again.

Funny, I just uninstalled it yesterday.

I only used it for the automatic blame behind the cursor, but I just learned that that is built-in to VS Code (something like “toggle blame decorator”). The built-in one is faster too.

When I read 7-digit my first thought was this seems a bit short sighted. Then I saw the the address was going to be a combination of letters and numbers. Since this is the English page for The Japan Times I'll give them a pass on using the wrong word.

I was looking for this comment as I thought 7 digits wasn't enough for the 55,000,000+ households in Japan. I missed the fact that it's alphanumeric - problem solved.

Hello, I live in Japan, the thing they don't tell in the article is the Japan Post Digital Address can be tied to the MyNumber system.

It's an official ID card you're required to update by law every time you move, and they plan to link the address of both systems. Meaning every time you update you address on your ID it will automatically propagate everywhere.

In Japan the MyNumber system is live since a few years and a single card can already be used:

* As driving license

* As a unified heath insurance card

* As a unified way to retrieve prescribed medications, lab results, vaccinations..

* For doing the taxes and receive pension

* As a foreigner residence card (very soon)

* For digital signing of official papers (as a way to replace the Hanko stamp culture, it's working but not yet widely used)

The digital ministry is also expected to unveil an Apple Wallet integration in a few months to avoid having to carry the card.

Thanks for the context!

RaoulP commented on Working with Git Patches in Apple Mail (2023) btxx.org/posts/mail/... · Posted by u/todsacerdoti

Once I discovered how git apply can take diff files (or patch files) as input, I stopped using git stash in favor of plain old files. Easier to list and browse the contents of prior edits, also you can grep the files as method of search. I’ve even found myself copying and editing the diffs before applying.

RaoulP · 10 months ago

That’s a great idea, and very timely for me.

on the flip side of the topic, trying to do any datetime handling on the edge of embedded compute is going to be wrong 100% of the time anyway

Would you mind elaborating?

I vaguely remember som enterprising guys decided to buy some sort of storage tanks and then “buying” the oil while they still could, for a quick buck.

It's not just testosterone.

Viral infections and stress can cause multiple hormonal issues, from testosterone to insulin to thyroid, out of which a lot will be skipped or only a partial picture will be given during average blood test (i.e. just total test or TSH).

Unfortunately, most docs will just skimp over the results or tests to be done, so the things like "I'm tired a lot" just get handwaved away. (Un)Fortunately, a lot of friends brought their blood tests results to me since I've spent quite a long time biohacking, and nearly always it was the same: the doctor didnt do a full panel but just a partial one, said something is okay or mid, when it turned out that a full panel indicated a much bigger issue. Hell, one of them would even fall unconscious nearly once a month and multiple doctors said "it's just stress" when it turned out the person was hypoglycemic and their sugar and blood pressure would crash.

RaoulP · a year ago

Would you mind sharing the full list of tests that you personally consider important (for men, in my case), or which you think constitute a "full panel"? I would like to be explicit about it when I get one.

I assume the "defaults" vary from country to country, and as you say, from clinic to clinic.
