I've long been off the critical path because as a tech lead I have a lot more random stuff (and meetings) to deal with. I've been able to vibe code some non-production stuff like scripts to unify feature lists across JIRA, specs and the upstream docs which has helped free up time to hand craft more code on production.

I don't care too much about the quality or maintainability of those scripts as long as they make my life a bit easier. I do care about the maintainability of the production code base.

Quite, I think her long career in genre films was one of the reasons Tarantino was so keen to work with her.

The last big update to my git workflow was when I discovered --update-refs as it makes maintaining a stack of feature branches much easier. So far I really only have one "main" dev branch and then peel off the sub-branches at they need merging upstream.

However I shall have to investigate how the history commands are exposed in magit. I can see it being useful if you have long held branches that take a while to upstream but are useful to have in your trees.

There isn't enough context in the article to work out where Lucas thinks AI can help. It would be over thing using AI to help with VFX donkey work compared to for example replacing your screenwriter.

Could anyone explain what a "hypervisor crack" is in this context? I'm very familiar with hypervisors but less so in relation to gaming.

Is this just using a hypervisor to virtualise system services the DRM uses to assure it it's not being monitored or interfered with at the OS/kernel level? Do you have to intercept networking as well?

Just an early example of AI psychosis

In QEMU all of our CI environments are replicable locally as docker/podman images. However usually flaky CI is due to races exposed on overloaded runners so I often also run make -j(nproc) at the same time to simulate that. A retry script is also useful to get an idea of how stable a test is. Having sanitizer builds can also help.

To be fair to him he certainly seems to have tried to be careful. I have no idea if he's actually a qualified sparky.

I thought Episode IV was in the initial crawl text.

ETA I've just checked and apparently it was added in the special editions, the original 1977 crawl just started with the story.

Sony can afford to discount on the promise of online sales and planned cost reduction. I'm not sure Microsoft are going to manage another Xbox.

I mean usually the instructor just gets out the plane while on the ground and tells you to go round again. I'm not sure what was going on with this one but they at least seemed to think their student was ready given the words "you know what to do".

He was never my favourite character but he played a valuable role showing how an alien could take to heart the ideals of the Federation.
