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.

Does anyone else constantly wish for access to actuarial tables for everything?

What are my chances of getting Lyme disease if I go hiking 6x / month in the summer in CT? How dangerous is a motorcycle vs. bike vs. car?

I need a http://microcovid.org, but for everything.
