I was hoping to play around with the dataset over the weekend to toy with some text-embedding techniques, but they’ve pulled the cord on the download links.

Anyone have a copy of the full archive they’re willing to share, or a magnet link?

This is brilliant! You can even let the front truck pull all the others tied behind it so you need fewer working engines.

What if you added guide rails to the lane so the trucks didn’t have to steer?

For anyone who missed it, the Windows Terminal team is infamous for claiming that it would require PhD level expertise to implement some basic optimizations suggested in a Github thread. Within a few hours, another developer countered that claim by submitting a functioning PR with said improvements implemented.

Windows Terminal team lead Dustin Howett then went on to double down on the original claim that said optimizations were unfeasable, and publicly attacked the author of the original suggestion thread on Hacker News. He issued an extremely half-assed apology and is still a Micro$haft employee to this day.
