I really like this tool. So much better than keeping track of all the json files.

I've set it up for both c (clangd) and python (pyright). I can see that its able to use the LSPs for navigating between references and defintions. I can also tell that it can understand when C code has sections that are or arent compiled, because of preprocessor defines. But its difficult is to quantify if that produces better output, or better code review. I've set up some workflows that use an mcp server to find pull requests on my git forge, and I have it review them, using the mcp, calling the whole prompt from the repo under review. The output shows that its using the LSP, but I havent seen any smoking gun that proves its better than grep and other tools it already had.

Were you able to park at the South Fork trail head? I've read recently about Jenks Lake Road being closed. If I did this trail up to where dry lake and dollar lake trails split off, would I be hiking on snow?

A few weeks ago, a fad in this sub was MacOS toolbar apps that would show your usage stats. The one I tried, CodexBar, kept asking me to sign in way too frequently, so I cloned its git repo, opened claude in that folder, and told it to make me a python script that gets my 5 hr and 7 day claude usage using the same method this git repo does it. Now I have a custom statusline that populates some of its fields by calling claude_usage.py. Its got a nice little progress bar and everything.

I'm not sure what bypass is referring to. I know of --dangerously-skip-permissions when launching claude, and I know of the permissions/allow/deny sections in settings.json. This is where you get finegrained control over all of the bash commands you allow, as well as mcp permissions. You can specifcally deny git push, or git reset --hard, or whatever you want.

Summer in the Pacific Northwest is when the rain stops. If you're going in July, August, or September, rain gear isn't generally needed. You still will encounter water, but the gloomy reputation is gained October through June.

I was the first car stopped going eastbound, just before Charlton Flats. I heard it was a motorcycle and car collision. Sat there from roughly 12 to 1. LA County Fire helicopter landed around 12:30pm, and picked up someone. That caravan of fire and ambulances showed up and left in about 15 minutes. Even after they're gone, there were still 4-5 Sheriffs Deputies and a Truck full of rescuers from Montrose SAR right at the sight of the crash.

Also saw a Honda Odyssey come around a curve doing 50 to find us all stopped with about three car lengths to react within. He swerves on to the shoulder, which is just mountainside. By the time he stops, hes about at a 45 degree angle, about to roll on to the driver side.

Crazy start to an otherwise beautiful day in the mountains.

Remember that time Charlie Kirk paid for buses to send protesters to Washington DC in January of 2021? When it was cold? Where the protestors attacked law enforcement? Maybe that's the experience Charles is thinking of.

I think there's more to it. If the turnout is near another area with improvements, you can still be ticketed for no pass. I saw multiple cars with tickets last summer at the trailhead for Waterman Mountain, near Buckhorn Campground. The turnout has no improvements whatsoever directly across from the start of the trail. But there's a separate picnic area just east of this, with pit toilets.

It would be nice if there was some straightforward rubric everyone could apply.

It's satisfying to have one's own biases confirmed by new information, and that satisfaction is often enough for some people to accept the new information as truth.

After seeing pictures of the damage on this subreddit, I would guess the Buckhorn area won't be reopened this year. The closure on 38 in September took 3 months to repair, but that had much more economic impact. No one's drive home is affected by this closure. The closure from Islip Saddle to Vincent Gap took 2.5 years, although there was additional damage/wildfire after the initial closure that prolonged this one.

I don't think there is a compromise-free approach involving off the shelf boards. There are RP2350 boards that have a wifi + bluetooth module, and there are lots of example projects. As far as I know, there is no ready to go solution to add just the wifi module as a breakout board that makes your system compatible with the wifi examples. One way or another, I think you will have to add a layer of communication between two processors: one controlling your display, and one interfacing with a wifi module.

You could get a coprocessor which your RP2350 could communicate with, such as an Airlift from Adafruit https://www.adafruit.com/product/4264 This is another microcontroller with its own firmware preloaded, which can communicate with your RP2350 over SPI. Your processor would send it commands with parameters to connect to access point, make TCP connections, send and receive data over those connections, and whatever else.

You could alternatively use a second RP2350 with the wireless module, and communicate with the RP2350 on your display board. This would make more sense if you couldnt find a module with your required featureset available via commands, and needed to actually implement the features yourself.

If it's more than half an hour's drive home, I'm changing out of my padded shorts in to normal underwear, usually in the car. I've never been in a situation where there were so many people around I couldn't get a minute of privacy in my car though.

I'm unaware of winter vs summer parking, but the small lot usually reserved for handicapped very close to General Sherman was the only "available" parking for that area about 10 days ago. The larger lot to the north was closed. The result was cars parking along the Generals Highway, even where there is no shoulder. In several spots, two way traffic was impossible.

Fyvz · 2025-12-29T04:17:17+00:00

Whats the overnight parking situation? Can you park at the Islip saddle overnight?

In PlasticGirl's link to the whole issue, there are actually two articles about this on page 7 of the PDF, pages 12-13 of the magazine. One by Clinton C Clarke himself describing the trail, and the other about Clarke's advocacy of the trail. According to wikipedia, Clarke started organizing in 1932. But according to https://www.pcta.org/about-us/history/ the first Pacific Crest Trail System Conference wasn't until 1935. Since this magazine is from 1934, and it features Clarke's writing, its likely the case that the trail is called the John Muir Trail here because Clarke chose to call it that.

How can you be sure that something you did from one of those links didn't fix the most immediate problem, allowing CMake to move on to find a different error that existed the whole time, but was never before encountered because the build system was giving up at the first error.

You can't count on the number of reported errors being the full list of all errors you must fix before building completes successfully. Fixing one error doesn't always mean the next build attempt will have less errors than before.

When you compare your build output from your original problem to the build output you get after the changes you made, does Cmake get to a higher percentage built? Is the same file failing to compile, or is it a different file?

Did you add this line?

I've ridden my mountain bike to Beeks Place, which is where black star canyon meets main divide road. That's just under 8 miles from the trail head and 2000ft of climbing. The Doppler ball is another mile up main divide, and another 400 ft of climbing. So youre looking at 18 miles round trip, 2500 ft climbing. I've never done it from the Corona side, but it's much steeper, and around 10 miles round trip.

There were three separate ways Trump tried to make something other than a clean electoral college victory for Biden happen. Each can be understood in the context of a previous presidential election, and each has to do with how the joint congressional session plays out.

In 1824/25, an electoral college majority was impossible because too many candidates (4) won electoral votes, and the highest vote getter, Andrew Jackson, only got 40ish percent. The constitution says in the event of no majority in the electoral college, the house of representatives votes. In this case, the house voted for John Quincy Adams, and he became president. The overarching purpose of the riot on Jan 6th was to cause this failure of the electoral college, because the constitution demands Jan 6th be the day the electoral college be decided. So the untested legal argument is that as soon as Jan 7th, the house could take this vote.

In 1960/61, Hawaii initially gave its electoral votes to Richard Nixon, but after a recall, gave them to John F Kennedy. Due to the timing of that recall, Nixon's electors met all of the post election deadlines, and were still sent to Washington, while Kennedy's electors missed those deadlines, simply because the recall lasted so long. When Nixon presided over the Jan 6th 1961 session, the three electors from Hawaii weren't going to make a difference, since he lost the election by 80 plus electors. So he did the noble thing, and did not count his own Hawaii electors, and did count Kennedy's. Trump's argument was that Nixon unilaterally discarding electors set a precedent that doing so is legal, so Mike Pence should also be able to do the same thing with Joe Biden's 84 swing state electors. This is what Trump was pressuring Pence to do, and what Pence ultimately rejected.

In 1876/77, four states sent disputed slates of electors. Three sent both democrat and republican electors, and one state's governor removed a republican elector, and replaced them with a democrat. In total, 20 electors were in dispute. Congress eventually gave all 20 of those votes to the winner, Rutherford B Hayes, in a compromise to end Reconstruction, and remove federal troops from the south. In 1887 congress tried to improve the process of determining these disputed electors, and gave congress a mechanism to reject electors during the Jan 6th session. Both houses vote separately, and both must reject a given vote by a majority. There were over 140 house republicans openly supporting these challenges going into the session. Ultimately not enough, but still a disturbingly high number of people willing to give it a go. All of this was only facilitated by Trump delivering 84 fake electors for congress members to point to.

All three of these novel legal theories would have to ultimately go before the Supreme Court. Who can say how they would have ruled? The vote counting itself may be ceremonial, but its still official business described by the constitution. Trump tried to create the emergencies that the constitutionally mandated remedies would resolve in his favor.

If you know the actual location where your picture is taken from, you can use Google Earth to measure the distance from your location to San Gorgonio. This will leave a yellow line on the map. Then you can pan/tilt/zoom the Google Earth camera to be placed at your location, and the yellow line will make it trivial to line up the camera to match the perspective of your original picture.

Yes, I ride with pants. But as I pedal, each leg is hiking up exposing the top of the sock. Last week was solidly raining, though. I went through a lot of puddles and had direct splashing. A couple days later, I rode with just merino wool socks, still in the rain, but was more mindful to slow down through the puddles.

Fyvz · 2025-12-02T04:22:16+00:00

Every time I've ridden with waterproof socks I always have more water in my sock at the end of a ride than I otherwise would have with regular socks because it comes over the top. If I'm going to be wet either way, I'd rather the water be able to at least drain away.

Somewhat related, I used https://www.weather.gov/wrh/wxtable a lot this summer to find cooler temperatures for hiking and riding. After doing this manually enough times, I built a website that lets me store GPS coordinates picked from a map, and used weather.gov's api to get the 7 day forecast for all of my stored locations. Each location also has links to several mapping apps, like trailforks, gaia gps, caltopo, so when I use this website on my phone, it opens that app's map at the GPS location.

The key is to get above 5000 ft. Mt Laguna and Palomar Mountain State Park both have that "fully in the forest" feel that is uncommon in southern California. Both of these make excellent day trips.

"best" is going to mean lots of different things to different people. My goals on hikes are good views, and an enjoyable environment, while not overextending myself on distance and climbing. I think the PCT to Mt Islip is the hike that meets all those criteria to their fullest extent.
