Are there still CLI tools that can't handle spaces in folder names?

Use the Unhook extension

If you don't disclose the use of

- books

- search engines

- stack overflow

- talking to a coworker

then it's not clear why you would have to disclose talking to an AI.

Generally speaking, when someone uses the word "slop" when talking about AI it's a signal to me that they've been sucked into a culture war and to discount what they say about AI.

It's of course the maintainer's right to take part in a culture war, but it's a useful way to filter out who's paying attention vs who's playing for a team. Like when you meet someone at a party and they bring up some politician you've barely heard of but who their team has vilified.

When they stop getting desperate for differentiation by spamming their brand advertising in your repo against your will.

Claude Code likes to add "attribution" in commit messages, which is just pure spam.

> Are sim cards easily swapped?

Very easily. Apple even specifically introduced dual-sim iPhone for China.

> How easily can a burner be used?

You need to bring your ID to a telecom to get a phone number legally. But I don't know if there is a black market for burner sims.

(Last time I've been there was a few years ago so take it with a grain of salt.)

Huh. I had a conversation with a Tor developer on this topic about a decade ago, when network namespaces were still kind of a new hotness - the feedback I got was that it would be an easy way for people to think they were being secure while still leaking a bunch of identifiable information, so I didn't push that any further.

> If the delivery can be made successfully—and it appears we are just a liquid helium supply away from getting it to work—the new facility in Germany should allow measurements with a precision of over 100 times better than anything that has been achieved at CERN.

Hmm. It sounds good until you realize that's two decimal places. Two decimal places is a pretty marginal gain for a lot of work.

Maybe slightly O/T, but has anyone found a decent way to `git send-email` with email hosts that demand OAuth? (looking at you Outlook and Gmail)

This doesn't match my experience, and no dictionary I've checked says the past participle depends on the context; only that "proven" and "proved" can both be used (in any context). See e.g. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/proven#Verb

I'm not a mathematician though, so maybe this is a genuine semantic convention that neither I nor my dictionary are aware of. Maybe it's just that some mathematical style guides say to prefer "proved", for consistency, not that it really depends on the context?

Always was puzzled by this "use present/imperative" prescription, to be fair. Shouldn't the messages about the past work be preterite/simple past? "Added support for OpenFizz 3.1", "Fixed FOO-2123 with foos that don't foo", "Changed default shell from /bin/fish to /bin/tcsh", etc. Heck, even the titular xkcd has initial commit messages in the Past Simple.
