what issues do you run into when trying to figure out how to configure Git? thinking about whether the structure of https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config could be improved
asking for a friend: how do you buy ipv4 addresses in 2026? are there recommended brokers to use? how long is the process? (in europe)
are there any nice Git merge conflict resolution tools that work in the terminal? when i look at the text merge conflict I can never remember which code is which, and I really want to see them side by side
it feels like someone must have written some kind of nice tool in Rust

One of my plans for separating was to do a lot more bicycling. I live within easy bike distance of various shops.
I'd need bike panniers.
Looking around, it seems that my options are "drop a hundred...

just used memray to find out where my python program was allocating memory and was super impressed by how easy it was to use https://github.com/bloomberg/memray
the steps were just:
1. `memray run python3 my_program.py`
2. copy and paste the snippet it prints out ("memray flamegraph memray-manage.py.37954.bin") to generate a flamegraph
3. open the html flamegraph in my browser

@nprofile1q... personally I sometimes see LLM use that the LLM user says is fine but that does not feel fine to me (like it's not something I would be comfortable doing)
and also sometimes I use an LLM in a way that I think is fine but then it turns out to not be as ok as I thought
I'm not shouting at anyone about it but I guess I understand the skepticism and I feel like we don't have a good shared understanding of what it means to "take care"

@nprofile1q... i don't have any interest in convincing anyone to use LLMs or convincing anyone that it's useful, I think it's cool that many people don't use LLMs and I'd much rather they didn't start if they don't want to
