I’m hardly going to simp for LLM tools but the fact that the bug existed and no one had reported it seems proof positive no one was about to find it without them

the context is "yes, you were down by 14, but your team just lined up and scored a TD on the last play. you have to make the decision whether to kick the XP or go for 2. since you just scored 6, you are now down 8"

it is confusing because the conversation is taking place after you just scored

even if they were two bites at that apple gives you better odds than just one

(assuming you want to win in regulation which presumably you do because OT is inherent chaotic)

getting to OT in this scenario is the fallback

I meant to say "likely fallback"

sorry but none of this makes any sense.

these are the assumptions they are attempting to debunk:

- All 2-point conversions are equally likely to succeed.

I have seen no evidence that all 2-point conversions *aren't* equally likely to succeed, and even if they were two bites at that apple gives you better odds than just one

- You will stop the other team from scoring.

regardless of whether you choose to go for it or kick the XP, you still have to stop your opponent on their subsequent drive. if they do so much as kick a FG it's game over already, so it doesn't matter.

- You will get a touchdown on the subsequent drive.

you have to score a TD or the debate doesn't matter so it's irrelevant to this argument

- The clock expires after that.

again we have to assume we are preventing the opponent from scoring any additional points because the debate makes no sense without that caveat

- There are even odds of winning in overtime.

getting to OT in this scenario is the fallback, while it's the best outcome of just kicking the XP twice in a row

re: the 19 days issue

you're planning around the time where most of the people who review these things are going to be taking PTO. as far as I could tell reading the guidelines the only guarantee apple gives you is that they'll get to it as soon as possible

it's also a little funny that DHH is saying that apple exempted them from the rules last time and then a couple paragraphs later is complaining that apple exempts other companies from the rules as well

only people who are actively looking for jobs are considered unemployed, so the "jobless working age population" is a larger group than people considered unemployed. so, you can have a person who is unemployed get a job and another person who is jobless but wasn't considered unemployed because they weren't actively looking then become unemployed because they began to actively look for a job.

the thing about the mattn driver is that it supports all the features that sqlite itself supports. you can compile in vtables, extra stat stuff, which FTS option you want, anything. and if you use zig as your cross compiler you don't even need separate toolchains for the different arch/OS combos, it all just works

unless things have changed their remote policy is pretty much a no remote policy. to be fair to them, I last interacted with them 6 or 7 years ago so things could certainly have changed, but at least at the time I felt like "Remote" was a bait and switch there

I currently live in Ann Arbor, MI (the 244th largest city in the US) without a car. If they built a Trader Joes downtown I would have 0 issues being car free.

I live in a very very very similarly sized city in OH and I feel exactly the same way (down to the trader joes even). I do have a car and I often wish I didn't need it. My city is small enough that not only is a 15 minute city a feasible option, it could be a reality today with a couple small infrastructure changes.

freedom is not "everyone has a car". freedom is no one has to have a car to get where they need to go and do what needs done. for example, my favorite bar in my city is like .75 miles away. I would love to walk there, but functionally you can't because the two roads you need to take to get there are dangerous with limited or no sidewalks and extremely dangerous intersections (one is a blind corner where the cars are regularly doing 60 off of an expressway). if I could walk there (or even better, if I could bike there!) then I would be much much much freer to move about my home.

I don't hate cars! I just don't want to have to jump in a car to go somewhere I could easily walk

if people weren't VC brained they would realize that the way to prevent traffic deaths isn't to build fancy self driving cars, it's to invest in safer, more pedestrian friendly infrastructure and use the boring technology that already exists to get people where they want to go. the future is on buses and trains and bikes and pedestrian friendly 15 minute communities
