Rob: hey Google, turn on the living room lights
Google : ok
Me: hey Google, turn off the living room lights
Google : you have no lights called living room
Apparently Rob and I don't live in the same house or something.

I tend to work on projects where branches have many commits (5+) so the merge commits give useful context
it is a wonderful game. I have enjoyed playing it through three times so far. Each time learning new things about the verse. Very nice

gonna keep thinking about how rust pulled off something that shouldn't work on paper: making devs "do more work" with more static modelling and a very hard-to-please compiler, and ended up with anyone going "this is actually great"

thank you for being so welcoming when I wanted to get into rust, and all the best with your future projects. β€οΈ To your family.

I prefer fast-forward-capable but with a merge commit. That way logically grouped commits still have a grouping (the merge commit) but bisection is still plausible.
Being me, and with the current state of politics in this country and around the world, I compute it will take approximately... fifteen to thirty minutes to need to stand down. (just long enough to rant in a maiden speech)

Looks like I need to become an MP long enough for it to fuck my mental health so I can stand down and get a nice big pension.
If an MP stands down for ill health reasons, an ill health retirement grant is payable, calculated in the same way as the Resettlement Grant, as well as an immediate pension based on the service the MP would have accrued if he or she had continued to serve until age 65.

It has been a while, but thanks to the efforts of my colleagues and some effort today, my fitness age is back below my calendar age. Not bad for a fat old ginger eh?

If someone wanted to rewrite it in Rust and make sensible security decisions, I'd be interested in subscribing to their (suitably secured) newsletter.

I've not been near my fastest (26:20 ish for a 5k) in about a year, so you can have the congrats any way you want :D

Unfortunately I refuse to do a substandard job as that would not be fair to you. Thus, I'll have to decline this project unless you are able to find $XXX more budget. If you cannot, then perhaps we can work out a way to blend our teams so that you can take on some tasks?
compression is dark voodoo to me. I wonder if using one of the rust zlib implementations, compiled to wasm, might be faster.
