@movq@www.uninformativ.de Since I moved all my projects off of Github for a number of reasons, I’ve also seen a significant decrease in “bug reports”, but more so “contributors” too. But… I’ve always run an up-to-date instance of Gitea at https://git.mills.io where all my projects live. Despite that, it hasn’t really seen much use beyond a handful of folk, like y’all here 😢 – Sadly today, I’ve had to disable open registration on my Gitea instance, as well as my own Yarn pod (for Twtxt) because of the horrid amount of SPAM you have to deal with and cleanup.

I agree, Email is a giant PITA. I would never ask anyone to send me patches via Email. However on a positive note, I do sometimes get folks reaching out to me on Signal and sometimes Email. Then we form a bit of a relationship, set things up and go from there. That is actually much nicer.

I’m not sure what else we can do? I’m nNOT moving back to Github, ever.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s a pretty fun double-base line 👌

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Sadly dependency updates 🤦‍♂️

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah agreed, but there does appear to be a lot of hype around rust for sure 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I don’t think you couldn’t have made a better choice myself 👌

@movq@www.uninformativ.de bisect says last two weeks 🤔

There’s a new interesting regression in yarnd that’s cropped up that results in a " /> at the end of uploaded/links images. I’m not able to figure this bug out yet 😢

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah he is 😭

I think it’s invisible to users of yarnd because of the way the cache works 🤣

I spent 18 months rebuilding my algorithmic trading platform in Rust. I’m filled with regret. | by Austin Starks | Jun, 2024 | Medium

This is the whole point of this Yarn where I’m trying to figure out with y’all to see if there might possibly be a way to formally measure and manage complexity, budget of a software, system or organization.

This article is worth reading: https://htmx.org/essays/complexity-budget/

Unfortunately, it doesn’t go into any concrete specifics or any formal ASOS of measuring and managing complexity budget.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org True!

@bender@twtxt.net

@movq@www.uninformativ.de well that depends on what this 2000 lines of coat does right does the 2000 lines of code basically amount to a linear set of instructions with no branching? Or is that 2000 lines of Covid include lots of conditional branching that make understanding what the program does, difficult and hard to maintain?

@eapl.me@eapl.me Cool! 👌 I shall have to have a look into these. If you’ve read both before, perhaps you can share short excerpts or your own thoughts and experiences?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s what I’m implying yea! 👌 if we can figure out how to measure complexity, we can figure out how to control complexity and thereby keep software systems and even organizations more simple and easier to manage potentially even more cost-effective.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Oh hey! 👋

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net clever use of someone else’s app with an up density in stores in an area.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de but surely it doesn’t just come down to an individuals understanding of a piece of software right? I mean, complexity comes from many different things for example, the number of components the number of sub-systems, lines of code, the number of abstractions, even the complexity of those abstractions., etc..

@shreyan@twtxt.net what’s this a picture of? 🤔

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net

The new report published Thursday dives into the many types of dark patterns like sneaking, obstruction, nagging, forced action, social proof and others. Sneaking was among the most common dark patterns encountered in the study, referring to the inability to turn off the auto-renewal of subscriptions during the sign-up and purchase process. Eighty-one percent of sites and apps studied used this technique to ensure their subscriptions were renewed automatically. In 70% of cases, the subscription providers didn’t provide information on how to cancel a subscription, and 67% failed to provide the date by which a consumer needed to cancel in order to not be charged again

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net this is a bit sad to see girls in tech shutdown and close its doors. 😢 did they run out of money? Or did something else drive this decision? 🤔

Whoohoo! My HTMX mugs arrived!

I’ve been thinking about a new term I’ve come across whilst reading a book. It’s called “Complexity Budget” and I think it has relevant in lots of difficult fields. I specifically think it has a lot of relevant in the Software Industry and organizations in this field. When doing further research on this concept, I was only able find talks on complexity budget in the context of medical care, especially phychiratistic care. In this talk it was describe as, complexity:

• Complexity is confusing
  
• Complexity is costly
  
• Complexity kills
  

When we think of “complexity” in terms of software and software development, we have a sort-of intuitive about this right? We know when software has become too complex. We know when an organization has grown in complexity, or even a system. So we have a good intuition of the concept already.

My question to y’all is; how can we concretely think about “Complexity Budget” and define it in terms that can be leveraged and used to control the complexity of software dns ystems?

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net So.. What does this mean? Hmmm 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I mean, if there was a standardize easier to read list somewhere we could potentially create a shed Go package that defines these constants, right?

@mckinley@twtxt.net yeah we already have this here in Australia, EV vehicles and your non-EV vehicles. And yes, it’s a pain in the arse as the car randomly breaks for things that a normal human driver wouldn’t break for just because the low eye detection races a false positive.

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net scary just had a little privacy that really is when you’re on the Internet, right?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de do you think alcohol and intoxication has something to do with the last time between seeing the gold land and the cheering? 🤣

@thiegui@twtxt.net Ooor, sorry, don’t do PHP, haven’t done PHP in some 20+ years 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s my experience too. But it’s good to know there’s a standard. Is there a definitive link to this anywhere? 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh man I completely missed that in the book 🤦‍♂️ No I wasn’t aware! 😢

Fixed Solar Panels for Camping 👈 Looks like good option for buying fixed solar panels, mounting brackets and other parts for mounting solar panels to your car’s roof rack 👌

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah looks like that 😢 Last time it was a bug that got introduced in Bleve.

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Disn’t we try this decades ago and it was a miserable failure? 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net Bahahahahaha 🤣🤣🤣

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org But of course 🤣

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Agaim?! 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net Nissan Navara ST Dual Cab 4WD 2.5P diesel. 2010 model. Can’t find the original specs or owners manual from Nissan on this one 🤔 Can only find bits and pieces (mostly not from Nissan directly 🤦‍♂️)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Very cool! 👌

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Cool! 👌

@mckinley@twtxt.net This is precisely the problem: Chrome copies the URL incorrectly – I wonder what other browsers do this wrong? 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net When you are trying to determine towing weights and maximums it becomes important to understand the specifications of the engine and chassis. Things like Tow Ball Weight and Gross Mass Vehicle Weight become important factors.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Haha 🤣 That’s the way! 😅

@thiegui@twtxt.net Awesome sauce! 🥳

Finding the technical specifications of older vehicles, say >10 years is rally hard 🤦‍♂️

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Haha! 🤣 Give it a go and we’ll see 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org no picies? 🤔😅

Hey @thiegui@twtxt.net 👋 Welcome back! 🤗
