We took our EV on a road trip around it Maritimes, and the Nova Scotia portion was made easy thanks to @ChargeLabHQ’s chargers

[Brian de Alwis @delaweeza]

@ChargeLabHQ nice to see the new high-speed charger in Guelph on Watson Rd! Would it be possible to change one of the CCS chargers to NACS?

@rendoarsandi28 @ntaylormullen Hi @rendoarsandi28. We released a fix in CLI 0.1.21. Are you still seeing problems?

[Brian de Alwis @delaweeza]

@rendoarsandi28 @ntaylormullen We've found the culprit and are rolling out a fix.

This is the greatest argument I’ve heard for why electric vehicles are better than gasoline-powered cars.

Coming back to git CLI again after a three years hiatus with hg, and struggling to recall all of my workarounds for this painful UX

[Craig Baird - Canadian History Ehx @CraigBaird]

In 1890, the Tariff Act came into place in the United States. It placed tariffs on imports of up to 50%.
While touted as a way to build American industry, there was also the hope it would force an annexation of Canada. It backfired.
Let's learn more.

@RetroWorld415 @AaronMDubya @sundarpichai There is Gemini in Android Studio https://t.co/4cYX68TcbF

@hirletz @sundarpichai No cloud project is required for Gemini Code Assist for individuals, but it is only available for personal accounts https://t.co/hkD1lkyIOB

[Richard Seroter @rseroter]

Oh, and we also shipped a free GitHub code review agent in public preview. Add as an app to your GitHub account, and get Gemini-driven code reviews on your pull requests.

I've asked Gemini code assist to explain my axi dma core, and I'm blown out by the result.
It really understands the code, finds all the constructs, interactions, etc.

It's time to learn how to use it, otherwise I'll be left behind.

[Brian de Alwis @delaweeza]

@edandersen @kweinmeister @rseroter @googleaistudio Yes there are network optouts: https://t.co/7oH8sYlPRD
