Got bugspray and git-bug integration working far enough that I'm able to create bugs and sync them via the remote.

This is my bugzilla murdering tool, but a lot more testing is required before I propose the plan.

@corsac sorry, you can't start games earlier than 6:30. Parents aren't back home until 5:30 due to that whole "work" thing, and they need to still feed the children and then get them organized to go to the game. So, no, 6:30 is the earliest reasonable time to start a game and if you only have one hour of daylight, you're pretty out of luck on fields without lights.

@chockenberry it's okay, 6-7 is lame now, so it's safe to count things again.

"b4 review" has grown by leaps and bounds. You should try it out if you haven't yet and give me feedback before I ship it!

British Columbia passed a law that they're done with biennial DST changes starting next year and a bunch of people are fauxpset that they picked "permanent DST" as the solution instead of "permanent standard time."

As someone who, for a long time, was in charge of scheduling games for his local baseball association, let me tell you that "permanent standard time" would be a disaster for summer-time organized sports. All of your fields without lights would instantly become pretty much unusable if the sun sets at 7:30 instead of 8:30 in July.

Your circadian rhythms will be fine, you ninnies -- your young parents won't be if Jimmy can't play his favourite game any more because his local municipal budget doesn't have any money to install floodlights.

@krzk #1 reason why b4 review doesn't let you send agent reviews without editing them first.

June 2023: a Google data center in France floods and they call it a β€œwater intrusion event”

March 2026: an Amazon data center in the Middle East is literally struck by a fucking ballistic missile in a hot war and they call it β€œimpacted by objects”

@mpdesouza Replacing your regular email client is not the goal, at least not at this stage. We load follow-ups as a way to help the maintainer to see what other feedback is available, but the primary features are code review.

b4 review getting started documentation, with screencasts:

https://b4.docs.kernel.org/en/latest/reviewer/getting-started.html

Still requires unreleased master version -- I'm hoping for some initial tests before I release 0.15.

b4 review landed in b4 master. I'll post a bunch of stuff tomorrow announcing it, but if you want to give it an early whirl, go ahead. The docs are a bit scant, but they should get you started.

You'll need python textual framework. To start, run "b4 review enroll" in a repo where you'll be reviewing code. Then run "b4 review tui". After that, you can run "b4 review track <msgid>" to pull in a series to review.

Please poke around and break things. I'm sure that won't be too hard.

b4 review is very close to its first beta release!

Just putting in some important final touches.

Remember how computers in the Start Trek TOS speak in a flat, monotonous machine voice? I think we should retcon that to be a deliberate policy choice implemented as a result of mass psychological trauma experienced by humanity in early eras of AI. A kind of intentional design choice similar how North American outlets present as scary frowny faces.

Here's an asciinema recording of the current state of b4 review:

https://asciinema.org/a/795683

It shows patchwork integration, reviewing series, taking series, sending thank-you notes, etc.

It's still rough around the ages, but it's doing useful things. I hope to release it as "pre-alpha" soon.
