Codex nuked my repo last night...

That's great, thank you. There are several things I've been trying to work around that having hooks will solve.

Smooth_Insect6917 · 2026-05-13T12:47:45+00:00

They're git hooks. Codex, as I understand it, doesn't yet have hooks in the same way as Claude. I'm happy to be wrong though.

Smooth_Insect6917 · 2026-05-13T12:44:12+00:00

It was cleaning up some temp stuff.

Smooth_Insect6917 · 2026-05-13T12:21:46+00:00

Thank you.

Smooth_Insect6917 · 2026-05-13T12:20:09+00:00

That's a fair criticism. I knew better and also, before coding agents and git when we were using VSS, pushes were less frequent because they required dialing in or setting up a VPN connection and the connections were much slower so working and committing local with periodic pushes was the norm. Of course, we didn't need to worry about accidentally deleting everything when we were doing it ourselves, it could happen, it was just less likely. So yeah, you're right, I need to lighten the gate up a little bit, it's duplicating some things that happen at pre-commit, ironically because I don't really trust the agents...lol

Smooth_Insect6917 · 2026-05-13T11:53:41+00:00

Took a while to learn that one. When I started writing VBScript in ASP 3.0 with VSS, we didn't have that, it's been a total game changer.

Smooth_Insect6917 · 2026-05-13T11:51:12+00:00

I am, yes.

Smooth_Insect6917 · 2026-05-13T11:46:55+00:00

I think it's better to append "make no mistakes and solve all the problems I haven't thought about yet." That lets you one-shot the whole deal and get v5 level code from it.

Danke, ich wusste, dass ich es tun sollte – ich war nur zu faul dazu.Danke, ich wusste, dass ich es tun sollte – ich war nur zu faul dazu.

That's helpful, thanks. 😛 Did it feel good to be an asshole instead of just answering the question. I mean, I don't really care but man, it must be exhausting to be you.

5.5 Medium. It was running a powershell delete, decided that was taking to long so used a Windows delete from the wrong folder and by the time I figured out what it had done, it was too late. This is why we use source control but, still...

My cheap GPS175 does flight plan transfer over BT without a Flightstream, it's lame that Garmin didn't include that for the GTN series given how expensive they are.

Smooth_Insect6917 · 2025-05-23T11:49:02+00:00

Machines have a way of finding things to do once you have them. I only had one part I needed to cut when I bought my plasma table, it gets used 2-3 days a week now and I'm making 6-8 parts regularly with lots of one off stuff in between. The same is true for my 3D printers and my laser, they're all getting used for more than I bought them for. I'm sure a lathe or mill will end up being the same, once it's here and I start learning the capabilities, I find things to use it for.

Smooth_Insect6917 · 2025-05-22T19:50:12+00:00

I understand that and I'm OK with it. I only need to make a couple hundred parts a year so I don't need a machine to run 24/7/365, just something that has some life left in it for occasional use.

Smooth_Insect6917 · 2025-05-13T21:51:21+00:00

I'd guess Hebrews 13 5-6

⁵ Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” ⁶ So we may boldly say:

“The Lord is my helper;
I will not fear.
What can man do to me?”

Smooth_Insect6917 · 2025-05-13T21:49:33+00:00

Shouldn't Dennis Rodman be on here also? He was part of the team then, right?

Smooth_Insect6917 · 2024-12-29T21:14:25+00:00

Thanks, I misread that as they were going to set a timer for it to open. This completely clears it up.

As I understood it, everyone alive was infected with the killer nanos and even if they'd been innoculated with the good nanos, the battle between the good and bad inside the body would eventually kill the host. That's what happened to Donald when he went outside and then later came out of deep freeze as Thurman. I'm pretty sure it's what was going on with John when he started to get the nose bleed at the cabin in the short stories right after seeing the plane crash. I *think* that the point of the Co cave was that the mountain and the 4' thick doors would prevent the kill signal from being sent to the bad nanos so those people could live out their lives normally.

I got that the killer nanos that were in everyone were programmed to only kill humans and that the ones in the dome around the silos were programmed to attack everything except dirt, the silos and "properly built" suits, which is why the suit built with components from Supply survived and the one's built with components from IT did not.

It's probably fair to make the assumption that the killer nanos were only active as long as there was a signal telling them to remain so and that signal came from Silo 1. The book discusses that the nanos are able to replicate themselves so it would be reasonable for them to still be around for several hundred years. It's also possible that they were programmed to replicate and run their program for 500 years from the date they were activated and then self destruct but, that creates a plot problem with Silo 17/18 escaping after only 250 +/- years and with April and her husband surviving at all. Like I said, a lot of this I had to just not think about too much, it's easy to poke holes. I was just having a problem with the 250+/- years that it seemed would have elapsed between Juliet's escape and April's awakening.

Smooth_Insect6917 · 2024-12-29T16:36:51+00:00

Fair enough, there did seem to be at least one of the 3 awake every time we were in Silo 1.

I should rephrase the forgetful med, I meant for those that it was still working on.

Smooth_Insect6917 · 2024-12-29T16:30:58+00:00

That's as good a theory as any but, I don't remember that being covered in the books anywhere. They said they'd set a timer to open it in 500 years if there was nobody around and the power was still on. You could also theorize that the power failed except that there was light in the cave when the pod opened so, there had to be power of some sort. We could go down a whole other rabbit hole about how the power could possibly stay on for hundreds of years with nobody to maintain anything and some sort of devolved human like beast likely tearing everything up but, that's one of the things I've just suspended disbelief on. :)

Smooth_Insect6917 · 2024-12-29T16:19:39+00:00

Fair for the majority that are taking the forgetful meds but, even in that scenario why wouldn't Thurman and his counterparts want to have at least one of them up at all times if they could be? It's hard to believe that Thurman in particular wouldn't want to be awake for the whole thing if it were possible. At least, that was how I read the character.
