My new job we use Teams (which sucks), but has configurable quiet-hours. I have mine set to only notify my phone between 7a-7p, and only when I'm not active on the desktop. Helps quite a bit, except I do sometimes miss notifications. S

UCI has strict regulations on the geometry, weight and even ancillary equipment (think brakes, gear shifts) of bikes. I vaguely recall the minimum weight being something like 14.9 lbs, but this is likely incorrect. Point is, it's quite

Totally agree with you. We already know what changed: it's the diff! We need to know why you're making the what . The message should address why the diff is necessary. Was it a bug fix? Ok, what's the bug you're f

"Eat children!" vs "Eat, children!". Punctuation saves lives. Edit to add: Personally, I think it would be hilarious if grammar comes back in terms of a "Survival 101 in the face of AI" course.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to fundamentally disagree with you. One does not get a morality pass because "the computer did it". People are creating these AI models, selecting data and feeding the models data on which to be
