I watched it a LONG time ago when I was a kid, and only now realised it is set in #Kobe, where my wife is from, with many setings in the movie actually _in_ her neighbourhood.

Also, the dialect used is exactly what my in-laws have, making the experience even more profound.

Grave of the Fireflies - Hotaru no Haka is a movie that, I'm fairly sure, if you have even an ounce of empathy, by the end of it, will have you super sad.

It's on Netflix now www.netflix.com/title/557010.

Fair enough and glad to hear it!

Thanks for a fun time.

I scored 8/28 on jsdate.wtf and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.

I guess....not horrible considering I write JS once very 100th blue moon or so.

@samwho.dev : curious if you have stats on the scores :D
new Date("wtf")
How well do you know JavaScript's Date class?

Interesting !

I think `github.event.pull_request.user.login` is mentioned as safe and using dependabot/fetch-metadata. Those are what GH mentions in their guide.

If your auto-merged Dependabot PRs don't build after merging into `main`, this is why.

Also, you need to add your token into the "Dependabot Secrets" section as a secret, even though it is executing what seems to be a GH action.

Played around with Veo3 #AiVideoGeneration . Made something I thought my kid would like. It's hard with the current limits , but the results are impressive (esp. with music too...)

Successfully set up a repo where I test behaviour in a framework, with Dependabot auto-opening PRs for newly released versions of the framework and merging them.

TIL "deepwiki"... I ran it on frunk and was quite impressed, at least by the diagrams that it was able to generate...

Makes me wonder why I went through the trouble of *writing* blog articles about this on beachape.com!

deepwiki.com/lloydmeta/fr... for instance.

Did some super light coding this weekend with GitHub Copilot’s Agentic mode.

To be honest liked it quite a bit and similar enough to what Windsurf does that I might stick with it since it’s free (not sure why).

I think the long game of AI is that they will come with insurance (or insurance companies will run time).

In other words, if you want full autonomous driving / coding, etc. the provider of that service/model will provide insurance for fuckups (and bill accordingly).

Prompt engineer is the new witch doctor / tribal medicine.

Things are always shifting, It kinda sorta works, and most practitioners aren't really sure, and don't begin to _really_ know why.

export TESTCONTAINERS_HOST_OVERRIDE=$(rdctl shell ip a show vznat | awk '/inet / {sub("/.*",""); print $2}')

With this, there is no longer a need to check the "ask for admin/sudo" access checkbox , which bugs you every time there's a restart.

Found some stuff to make Rancher Desktop a smoother replacement for Docker Desktop:

export DOCKER_HOST=unix://$HOME/.rd/docker.sock
export TESTCONTAINERS_DOCKER_SOCKET_OVERRIDE=/var/run/docker.sock

Apropos of nothing ... I love that Cloudflare does this kind of thing.

Though, I wonder if this has long term consequences on AI itself (eg teaching “weird things” that harm mankind in the long run).

Not sure if this is what a "hot take" (a la kewl social media kidz) is but:

IMO in practice, #Go's "error as return values" doesn't really offer much advantage over #Java's checked exceptions. You handle it or pass it on (wrapped).

Please feel free to change my mind.

From what I can understand, there is a chance that the internal graphics chip is struggling.... and disabling auto-graphics switching does seem to help.
