for other folks currently in an incident trying to resolve the chaos this caused, the first commit we've found with issues in our repo is from ~10:30am pacific this morning

seems to have gone up for a few minutes before going back down again


My partner and I have played dozens of games of Spirit Island, far and away our most-played board game



I am also confused by this goal, I've started a discussion in the repo to get some clarity on intent and direction there: https://github.com/biomejs/biome/discussions/1642


I've appended `; tput bel` to the end of long-running scripts to get the same effect.

Fun fact: the `bell` control character is part of the ascii standard (and before that the baudot telegraph encoding!) and was originally there to ring a literal bell on a recipient's telegraph or teletype machine, presumably to get their attention that they had an incoming message.

To keep backwards compatibility today's terminal emulators trigger the system alert sound instead.


In Java and JavaScript it’s just:

    \u0007
It’s handy to put in your shell code that takes a few seconds, or more, to complete.


The Apple II+ still had a ‘bell’ key on the keyboard (I can’t think of a more recent computer that had that)


I always used to just have 'echo "^G"' instead (where ^G is typed as CTRL-V CTRL-G).


Sometimes a "PR machine" is just social capital at work. If there's anything else I've learned in this saga it's that Sam has had a consistent track record of building and maintaining highly positive relationships with anyone near his orbit, this board aside, and that it consistently pays him dividends.


Isn’t that the value-prop of Apple News?


Apple News is a bit of a discovery pain in the neck. If I have a 5 year old Atlantic article, I can’t just click the article and have it open in Apple News. I can’t search for it. If the article is any older, the magazine won’t appear at all.


In my experience Apple news relies entirely on the app for reading articles, so if you are on a computer without the app or following a link that doesn't auto-redirect to the app then you still hit the paywall.

I'd rather have a system that was just a cross-website web account.


there are so many comments here that really feel like they didn't read any part of the announcement other than that there's a thing called runes.

For me personally I tried svelte in the past and bounced off because there was too much implicitly happening that I needed to have a deep understanding of to model correctly. This solves basically all those problems for me.

I thought your video[1] especially did a great job walking through the pros this change brings. Thanks for all your great work on this!

Please don't get me wrong. You guys are doing great work. And I did notice the hard work you put into runes to make things better. My point is that, it feels like I'm just trading one complexity for another. Like most people, I am constantly searching for ways to do my job better.


pairing is taking stories, it’s two people working on one task together.


So then he hasn't been taking zero, "literally zero" stories like the article says.


The article said zero stories according to Jira.

This is, of course, rectifiable in Jira by allowing a ticket to have multiple people assigned to it.

...unless they aren't using Jira and some tool that doesn't allow this.
