Anyone know what, if anything, I need to do to build an Apple Silicon wheel on Github Actions?

Planning to do a new backports.zoneinfo release soon and I’d like to throw it into this wheel building apparatus, if necessary: https://github.com/pganssle/zoneinfo/blob/b77bc75de10380ff53a33c3becc49eb3b582a745/.github/workflows/build-publish.yml#L77

I think that the fact that the head of the self-conflict branch has two parents branched from a common base (with a bunch of commits in between) has something to do with it.

I guess I’m rebasing it to a single commit, which conflicts with its history.

Wow, I’ve never seen this before. This repo has a merge conflict with its own base commit:

$ git rebase HEAD^
Auto-merging dateutil/test/test_imports.py
…
error: could not apply ffc4be1… Use pytest

Gotta get that neck swole.

Sesame Park doesn’t allow you to bring a Leatherman into the park, but they don’t mind me walking around with these Howitzers?!

Clearly security theatre…

For two days in a row these vultures were hanging around in the same trees behind my house for hours at a time.

That’s not ominous at all…

Noticed this response after I wrote a program that pulls all humans with a birthday in Wikidata with repeated queries filtering by birthday… 😅

Anyone have a good (open) corpus or generator of human names that covers a good amount of the different types of names people can have?

Preferably tagged with ethnicity or nationality. The names don’t have to be real, just representative.

@eumiro@fosstodon.org maybe?

Got my corvid shot today. My toolmaking abilities seem to have improved a little, but I’m also starting to feel an uncontrollable urge to mob hawks and owls…

If anyone’s curious how I landed on this: I signed up to do it because while the incidence of Lyme disease is fairly low in absolute terms, the rate of severe adverse effects from phase 2 trials is also very low.

But it turns out the trial is closing on Monday, so I’d need to get the first shot then, and they want 2 weeks between getting the Lyme vaccine and getting the COVID vaccine — and I’m scheduled to get the first COVID vaccine shot on Monday.

I could put off the COVID vaccine for 2 weeks, but I believe that would have practical downsides for me, and I don’t think that the practical benefits of getting the Lyme vaccine aren’t high enough to overwhelm that.

Anyone else seen this and might be able to find it?

Like @timorl says, might not be as comprehensive as I had hoped, but anything in this vein would be a good start.

What brought this up today is that I’m thinking of signing up for this Lyme disease vaccine trial: https://clinicaltrials.chasemr.com/adults-lyme-disease-vaccine-clinical-trial-0-1

#Connecticut is one of the worst states for Lyme infection, but baseline prevalence is still 0.035%.

I’m finding it very difficult to calculate the expected utility of participating in a vaccine trial for Lyme, given that I plan to do a good amount of hiking in CT in the summer, but I’m also good about wearing long pants and using tick spray.
