You must not have cats or children if you think that last one is reasonable

Ok just unload the filevault key from ram, better? And if possible tell the secure enclave to revert to the before-first-unlock state

I had a case yesterday where Claude wrote me a series of if/elses in python. I asked it if it could use some newer constructs instead, and it told me that I was on a new enough python version that I could use match/case. Great!

And then it proceeded to rewrite the block with a dict lookup plus if-elses, instead of using match/case. I had to nag it to actually rewrite the code the way it said it would!

What do you mean by this? What are you frustrated by?

You're offended by their political beliefs, so you don't like the way the model works?

Is this a joke?

Probably just ignorance, but there actually was a gap in that time in some areas in germany. Close to my hometown are the remains of an old ancient fortress - that was build by mostly unknown people and abandoned at 400 b.c. and only 1000 years later there were settlements again. A bit rougher area, though.

The flat area of Berlin on the other hand, had human settlement since 60 000 years.

I don't think anyone requires every hectare to have been developed in order to consider an area inhabited. Neanderthals are named after the Neander valley (Thal) near Dusseldorf, so I think we can definitely say yes, that humans have lived in Germany since long before antiquity.

"that humans have lived in Germany since long before antiquity."

Yes, but there were definitely whole areas not habited for quite some time .. likely reason, climate change! (It got colder at that time)

When I was in school, we had a SkunkDAV setup that department secretaries were supposed to use to update websites... supporting that was no fun at all. I'm not sure why it was so painful (was 25 years ago) but it left a bad taste in my mouth.

Yeah, unless you have the raw S3 API throughout your codebase you should be able to write a couple dozen lines of code (maximum) to introduce a shim that's trivial to replace with local file access. In fact, I've done this in most projects that work with S3 or similar APIs so I can test them locally without needing real S3!

the inspection part is a big deal. drop shippers don't add any value, but inspecting the goods (and rejecting those that don't meet spec) actually adds value.

Same. This is epically bad branding.

Gemini (just in the browser) has been really bad about conflating a bunch of similar projects. It remembers "oh, you have a home server that does XYZ", so my new home server that's doing ZYX instead must be the same system.

I was selling a house in a state I no longer lived in, and was under contract to close the sale, when I got an email from the water company. It told me they suspected based on my water usage that there was a leak on the properly.

There had been a very cold February night (like -15F) and a pipe froze inside the walls, and it was just absolutely gushing out. They sent me the email after it had been leaking for a WEEK. I asked a friend to check it out and she said that the laminate floor went "squish" when she stepped in the front door.

Fortunately I was covered by homeowner's insurance since I could prove that my heat had been on, but that was a very unpleasant "warning" to receive!
