If you’re an 
aggressive-indent-mode user like myself and your #Emacs feels sluggish sometimes: Check if you're running into aggressive-indent-mode leaking timers.
I had *hundreds* of them bogging down everything, most likely because of how I use it specifically in my setup. YMMV.
Bug description, fix and check for leaks: https://github.com/Malabarba/aggressive-indent-mode/pull/165
before-save-hook calls aggressive-indent--process-changed-list-and-indent directly, which empties the change list but does not cancel the repeating idle timer. On the next firing, the timer callbac...
MAGA: I have locked us all in this room and nobody can leave unless you let me drown this baby.
DEMS: Obviously no what the fuck
MAGA: Okay then I guess it's your fault we're locked in then.
DEMS: You're the one who locked the door.
MAGA: Yeah but you won't let us drown this baby tho so this is entirely your fault.
DEMS: You literally have all the power. You have all the keys.
MAGA: C'mon man just let us drown this baby we really really wanna! And then we can all go home for Christmas!
DEMS: Wait... What's that smell? Smells like... smoke?
MAGA: Oh yeah the house is on fire. Probably should've mentioned that.
DEMS: ON FIRE?? JESUS CHRIST WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE!!
MAGA: Yeah I know man, too bad you won't just let us drown this baby. Looks like we're all going to burn instead.
DEMS: Look just give me the baby and unlock the door. We still have time to get out of here alright!
MAGA: *sigh* no can do, buckaroo. See, this baby? It's gotta get drowned first, one way or another.
DEMS: BUT WHY THOUGH
MAGA: Yanno...just seems like the right thing to do. Sort of like that time I set the house on fire.
DEMS: You're fucking insane.
MAGA: Oh real mature, asshole. Calling us names at a time like this with the house on fire, and this baby STILL not drowned.
DEMS: Oh shit I just remembered, the fire extinguisher! Remember that fire extinguisher I bought us a few years ago? Do we still have that?
MAGA: Oh this? Yep still got it. It's awesome by the way.
DEMS: Oh thank Christ we're saved!
MAGA: But obviously we can't use it.
DEMS: WHY THE FUCK NOT
MAGA: Because it's for EMERGENCIES you dummy. Jeez Louise do I have to do all the thinking around here?
DEMS: THIS IS A FUCKING EMERGENCY YOU DILDO
MAGA: You're always so emotional. That's why nobody likes you.
DEMS: If. You. Use. The. Fire. Extinguisher. Nobody. Dies. And. Everyone. Can. Leave.
MAGA: Or you could just let me drown this baby.
DEMS: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
MAGA: Okay look we'll take a vote on it. All in favor of letting us drown this baby?
DEMS: NO!
8 DEMS: maybe
DEMS: what the fuck was that?
8 DEMS: let's at least hear him out.
DEMS: Yes let's hear out the psychopath who set the house on fire and wants to drown a baby. Great idea.
MAGA: Ok ok look I can see we're close to agreement here, so
DEMS: The fuck we are.
MAGA: So... I propose a compromise. I'll unlock the door and stop setting any more fires, and we can figure out whether to drown this baby *later*.
DEMS: Absolutely the fuck no.
8 DEMS: how much later.
MAGA: idk maybe tomorrow or next week or something?
DEMS: You know you can't trust them, right? Tell me you know you can't trust them.
MAGA: Depends on how quickly I can gather some more kindling and matches.
DEMS: What the fuck was that?
MAGA: Nothing. You're hearing things. So do we have a deal?
DEMS: NO
8 DEMS: yes
MAGA: Great! Let me just drown this baby real quick and we can all get out of here!
you *must* read the Battle of the Dildo at the Minneapolis Graduate Hotel (where ICE is lodging):
"The revolution did not arrive with speeches, pamphlets, or a carefully moderated Zoom call about optics. It arrived in a cardboard box full of clearance-bin dildos, under purple neon light." 🤣
one of the most beautiful things I've ever read

Hot take: it’s time for k8s to die.
It should be replaced by something that doesn’t require a steady supply of ritual sacrifice to this elder god.

If you still think AI is useless for software because it does nothing but generate random lies, you should read this article by one of the maintainers of Curl.
“The [400!] issues are of high quality and even the ones we dismiss often have some insights and the rate of obvious false positive has remained low and quite manageable. Every bug we find and fix makes curl better. Every fix improves a software that impacts and empowers a huge portion of the world.”
Note that the progress in the AI tooling in this case seems to have appeared only in the last few weeks. Your own evaluation might be out of date.
And if you still think that AI tooling for software development is a silly fad that will soon be forgotten—it won't.

(See how I cleverly did not mention AI in the title!) You know we have seen more than our fair share of slop reports sent to the curl project so it seems only fair that I also write something about the state of AI when we get to enjoy some positive aspects of this technology. … Continue reading A new breed of analyzers →
