not sure anyone has attempted to use gh stacks yet but i'm far from delighted to report they haven't worked for three weeks and still don't work github.com/github/gh-st...
Squashing and merging a stack is stuck · github gh-stack · Discussion #212
Before: After: I've been stuck looking at these spinners for hours. Nothing is merging. I've cancelled and retried a few times; no luck.

I made a website that lets you cut out old magazines from the internet archive (or any PDFs you own) and make collage art out of them:

To my nyc friends, this fantastic sandwich is available at S&P lunch, I order it with the pickled hot pepper spread and it’s superb.
I also asked him his favorite sandwich, because I knew he’d have an answer this good.

With all the insanity around flying and because i'm a massive train nerd, I learned last week that there is indeed a sleeper train from NYC to ATL and I immediately decided to take the flight refund and take the train instead. So here I am at hour 1 of an 18 hour journey down south.

when did github's real-time updates on PRs break? It used to be that when i was looking at a PR and someone approved or commented i would see it without needing to reload the page. Same thing with test failures, I needed to reload the page to see if the tests succeeded.

The frustrating thing about this energy, especially in Boston, is that it results in worse pedestrian AND cyclist outcomes. Living in the south end, residents fought against the street improvements which added bike lanes, removed car lanes and extended sidewalks!
in Boston it's true of both cars and bikers.
and as a pedestrian I don't want to get hit by either, but so far that score is 4 to bikes and only 2 to cars. bikers here love running into my leashed dogs on the sidewalks.
