TIL that mechanical horsepower is 550 ft * lbf/s, while metric horsepower is a bit less. Metric horses are different.

It'd be interesting to learn how to convert units from "0.4 session limit" to kWh of energy.

I haven't tried, but here is one option: github.com/elitak/nixos... that might be good if the provider doesn't suggest a specific way for running a nixos instance with your SSH key. (Nix also has other options, e.g. commands to make `.iso`-s or VM images with your config and SSH key, if interested)

Although on a closer examination, it currently only does diffs despite calling itself a "mergetool" in the README. Becoming an actual merge tool is on the roadmap, but not yet implemented.

As you might be able to tell by my other replies, I'm also interested in this question :) Thanks for asking it, people are suggesting tools I haven't found myself.

It seems like a great playground for experimenting with merging methodologies. I wonder how feasible it'd be to add some side-diff views to it (like docs.jj-vcs.dev/latest/confl...), then I could play with most of the three-way-merge workflows I can imagine in one tool.

Splice is interesting, thanks! I found its help here: github.com/sjl/splice.v... . There's also a long demo (vimeo.com/25764692). There's a somewhat newer Vim9 fork, github.com/errael/splice9. It also provides a hyperlinked version of the help, errael.github.io/splice9/vimh...

Very interesting tool, thanks for sharing! One caveat: at a glance, it's just for diffs, not conflict resolution, right? I'm also slightly sad it doesn't support `jj`, though it should work fine for `jj` co-located mode as long as you're looking at the current commit.

vimdiff used to be the main option. Emacs also has options, but they are annoying to set up. But here's a brand new tool somebody is developing: github.com/chojs23/ec

In addition to Austin's link, there are more details in the PR discussion in github.com/jj-vcs/jj/pu... and links in there. To a large degree, this is in fact a bug in APFS file locking. It's been reported to Apple, I keep wondering if it's been fixed on every new release. (Not so far AFAIK)

Last I checked, the only Rust in git was a proof of concept, and the team working on that got re-tasked with other things, so nobody was working on adding more. Has this changed? If there's now a non-negligible amount of Rust for this person to remove, that might be happy news to me :)

It takes a lot of mental effort to try to fix an imagined apple into one shape, color, orientation, or a location other than the one I associate with it.

I can imagine a sound in vivid detail, no problem. An apple I imagine does not have a single shape. It is a superposition of all the different shapes of apples I've seen in different places I've seen them with aspects of their look I found notable at the time highlighted.

I kept trying to remember what this reminds me of. It's the Little Mermaid. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lit... She lost her voice, and had to get the prince to fall in love with her through emotes alone.

Also, not sure if this is a bug they'll fix, but Isaac can currently communicate on Discord by starting a new thread at any message without one and writing a short message into the title of the thread.

ilyagr.bsky.social @ilyagr.bsky.social · 24/10/2025

Can't think of a human-interpretable option. Also, this allows messages of length `(# of emojis) - 256`, not sure how large that number is. Guess it improves if you pay Discord to have more emojis to use.

ilyagr.bsky.social @ilyagr.bsky.social · 24/10/2025

It's not actually sufficient to pick 256 emojis, since that doesn't allow you to repeat the same character twice. Perhaps all emojis should be ordered. The first byte is picked from the first 256, the next byte from the first 257 but skipping the first byte in the ordering, and so on.

I'm worried that someone malicious could link to a post that suggests the user runs some benign command. Then, after the post gets popular, they could "accidentally" changes it to a similar but malicious command. Without history, it would be hard to verify that the "accident" happened retroactively.

Another FR for @leaflet.pub: I wish that pasting Markdown-formatted text (e.g. with `backticks`) resulted in the intended formatting being applied inside leaflet. Or, perhaps better, there could be a command inside leaflet to do the transformation.

I like that @leaflet.pub publications are mutable, but I wonder whether the old versions are stored anywhere or viewable. If they are stored, I'd like it if there was a "view previous versions" link with diffs.

This post duplicates bsky.app/profile/ilya... but I'm afraid that deleting it will delete the leaflet post.
