Riddle me this Batman: WHen I run some code in one project it seems to work fine, but pretty much the exact same code in another project causes unexplainable stack overflows. How is that possible when the dependencies are the same version?
I love wasting hours and hours on build issues and random failures on startup instead of actual code.

It just occurred to me that the phases in waterfall software development could just as well have been named after the stages of grief:
1. denial (requirements and design)
2. anger (implementation)
3. bargaining (functional testing)
4. depression (alpha & beta testing) and
5. acceptance (release)

someone over on bsky asked me if anyone knows of any active Brazilian-focused instances that are good (active and well moderated)
if you know any please reply and i'll make sure your suggestion gets passed along
@iyashikei_kris the thing is the suggestion doesn't even make sense in the context of the project. Markdown in Agregore is rendered to pretty much the same HTML as the gemtext so there would be no point in doing the extra conversion step. This is why it feels like there was a prompt like "make a suggestion for a change to this github repo" instead of an actual need before going to prompt.
@iyashikei_kris The fact their activity is private is also sus. Like is it a bot auto-creating issues?
Is it just me or do folks see issues with long list based explanations as being potentially LLM generated?

Can you boost this please? I'm sort of load-testing / trying to reproduce a bug, and I think I need a bit more traffic to do so. Thank you!
@TheBierFrau I'm sure corpos would be happier for folks to die from overwork at home

DIY, pirated medicine is becoming increasingly accessible and easier to make due to automation, new tech, and new software developed and released by Four Thieves Vinegar Collective:

My cats have decided that my morning meetings are the best time to get super needy and meow non-stop.

MPs should not be landlords.
MPs should not have outside employments.
MPs should not be allowed to receive gifts of any kind (which are bribes pure and simple).
They already get nearly 100K salary and many claim 200K expenses on top of that.
The whole system is corrupt.
Anyone wanna hire me to touch computers for your bioengineering project? :P I specialize in managing information flow and databases, particularly in decentralized / distributed setups. e.g. agregating data from different groups without needing one central database.

I had to go out to buy a specific version of the iPad in order for my kids to be able to do their homework.
Educational policies aside, it was a sad reminder of what we are losing when we let the web be displaced by propietary apps.

tech venting
Betterbird has been randomly crashing on top of no longer consistently logging into my outlook email. I fucking hate the state of email and especially wish I hadn't tied so much with microsoft when I was younger.
@mos_8502 I found it got easier to read after the first few thousand lines of code. I agree though it was hard to grock with all the conventions that don't exist in other places.
My poor mastodon server reached a full disk since it seems my automated cleanup script wasn't running. Luckily I had a file allocatex to give me extra space for recovery and I let it run overnight. :P 75 GB of random attachmentd I probably have never seen. I think stuff like that should be loaded on demand tbh
