Surely there's gotta be a better term for this. Recency bias?


It's called context taint.

Fellow SourceTree apologist here. It remains one of the first things I install on a new machine. I'll do simple stuff directly in the CLI, but stick with SourceTree for anything moderately complicated (as you've mentioned).


This is awesome. A couple of suggestions:

- It'd be great to change the default branch used for creating new workspaces.

- I'd like the ability to add custom tools to the "Open in..." menu.


Ah yeah! Which IDE do you use?

> It'd be great to change the default branch used for creating new workspaces. Yeah you can actually change this now! If you click the repo name you can make changes to the "setup script". If you added `git checkout -b "branch name"` it would run that on every new workspace instance.


At the moment it's mostly Cursor or VS Code, but I was actually thinking of SourceTree. I'd like to look at the pending changes and manage the commits myself, and I could do that if I could add "open -a SourceTree ." as a custom command. I didn't see a place to edit a setup script, is that just on the filesystem?


Got it! If you click the repository name in the left sidebar, you should see a field for setup script.


FWIW, this is what I wound up with - keeps the original branch name but ensures that it's based on the latest from the "dev" branch:

orig_branch=$(git branch --show-current) && git checkout dev && git pull && git branch -D "$orig_branch" && git checkout -b "$orig_branch"


Ah, excellent - appreciate the help! I'm already getting a ton of value out of this tool, thanks for sharing!


wooo that's awesome to hear! keep the feedback coming!

For me, it's the fact that content generated by an LLM is fundamentally different than content that comes directly from a search index, but displaying them alongside each other conflates the two. Most people don't know the difference, and place the same level of importance (or maybe even more importance) on AI-generated content. Yes, this content is convenient. However, if the content isn't accurate or correct (which it may or may not be, given that it's just a statistically likely sequence of tokens) then is it actually beneficial as a whole?


That's a big part of what makes this game enjoyable - a clue that is very obvious to one person might not even cross the mind of someone else. To anyone reading this who hasn't played, it's definitely worth giving it a try.


Agreed, big fan of codenames in general but it plays its best when you’re playing against / alongside people that you’ve known for a while. The metagaming aspect of structuring clues to who your partner is really takes it to the next level.


Great short story. Several times while reading it, I wished that I could download Abelique on the app store and try it out - I guess I'll have to settle for picking up my sketchbook instead.

Was out to dinner with the family, and my kids were enthralled with the "word search" that was on the kid's menu. I thought it'd be cool to build a custom word search generator - given an arbitrary list of words, it'd spit out a grid containing them. The part that made it fun was trying to figure out a layout for an arbitrary list of words that would be as compact as reasonably possible. I was able to get something working in just a couple of hours, and my kids loved being able to do word searches with stuff that was relevant to them, like names of family members. Of course, there are tons of similar generators freely available online, but it was very satisfying to figure it out for myself and come up with something that the kids enjoyed.


Was watching CNN around 6AM EDT, they had a reporter on scene who mentioned wind "whipping across" the harbor. This was in reference to the potential survivability of the freezing cold water, but it seems likely it could have been a factor in pushing the ship off course as well.
