Programmer by day, programmer by night. Blog: https://push.cx Bootstrapping: https://recheck.dev I run https://lobste.rs and stream office hours Mon+Thu: https://push.cx/stream For people migrating, I was @pushcx on Twitter. I use he/him.
Let's start Lobsters office hours: twitch.tv/pushcx (bg: push.cx/stream). Monday's stream was cut short by tech issues, so there's plenty to do in addition to the usual open question time.
GitHub has 'load more' links because modern databases can't retrieve more than 10 items at once. You don't understand, GitHub is web scale.

I made a crossword
I recently wrote almost the exact same thing: github.com/lobsters/lob...
I also threw my hands up. It's rewarding to write a review that helps someone learn, even if they don't contribute again. This feels like a violation of a social contract.
The map is about the common activity of getting as far as possible from Kansas City as fast as possible.
Looks like scrollback could be one. I’d love to see more.
Released envie for @gleam.run
Not because I “know better”.
Because I needed a more complete way to handle env vars, so I built one.
Typed config, clear failures, no drama.If it’s useful to you too, cool.

i was also trying to play around with the base offset and couldn't figure out what tf the point of that was
why is it loaded at 0x100
Rebane

youre gonna love this
Sylvie
also it gets so so much slower if i increase the number of memory cells beyond like 0x700
Rebane
see i downloaded this strange program
[Image of an ancient-looking program called i8068]
and i couldnt figure out how to use it
but every time i loaded my binary it loaded at 0x100
so i was like
hmm

Sylvie

I may have gotten it off napster.
...the github SPA finally lost a PR review I was in the middle of writing. I didn't want to believe it, but it feels like the last year of flakiness has been inevitably working up to data loss.
I maintained one at The Washington Post. web.archive.org/web/20120104...
I don’t know how long it’s been offline.
Maybe the worst part of interacting with APIs from enterprise companies is how much they want to force me to learn things about their org chart.
This blog has a great couple posts on their technical decisions to use Gleam and Sqlite. I especially liked that they thought about how they would recognize they made a mistake and what the offramp would be.
This morning the Supreme Court declined to hear a case, so the standing decision is that LLM outputs aren't copyrightable. OSS licenses rely on copyright. lobste.rs/c/qrmqxh I'm trying not to run wild with uninformed speculation (as popular and fun as it is with licensing), but it's useful news.
My internet connection went from flaky to kaput, sorry. I think that's it for today's stream.
Getting the Lobsters office hours stream started: twitch.tv/pushcx (bg push.cx/stream). Bunch of frontend fixes are in flight, plenty of time open for questions. Drop in anytime in the next ~3 hours.

“Maybe the ends don’t justify the means”
There's a dangerous bug in how CC checks its allowlist for commands. If the user permits 'safecmd' unprompted, CC will run 'safecmd && rm -rf' and 'rm -rf && safecmd' unprompted.
I saw this bug a couple days ago. This report links to some of the many dupe reports:

400 meter relay bribery where city politicians race to hand off their briefcase full of cash to the IOC’s brother-in-law while residents fling themselves onto the track as hurdles trying to stop them. Winner hosts the next games.
The screenshot of the release notes reads: A new version of TeX Live Utility is available! TeX Live Utility 1.55 is now available-you have 1.54. Would you like to download it now? Release Notes: Changes Since 1.54 • Fix bug 137, homepage link in Help Book. • First release in a long time, since I don't use TeX anymore and resent the very idea of paying Apple annually for the privilege of giving away free and open-source software. Also, I'm really lazy. Please accept my apologies for all the annoying issues you've encountered in this mission-critical software. • Updated mirror list, which was three years out of date. • Added missing legacy mirrors, which was even more out of date. • Added an alert on startup when user tries Homebrew's lobotomized MacTex, because those lunatics left timgr but removed its database. Thanks for nothing, guys. Bug 142 and 144. • Use a custom user-agent to work around the Anubis bot trap on texlive.info. Can't wait to see what else breaks because of this, thanks to the profusion of degenerate Artificial Insemination fetishists scraping websites to feed their models. • Lists of countries in Repository/Continent are now sorted. No idea how you people let me get away with that one for the last fifteen years.
There's a "is anyone even reading this" sort of honesty you get in the software update release notes from a project that's been around for a long time.
Bit late, but I'm getting the Thursday Lobsters office hours stream started now: twitch.tv/pushcx There's a plausible answer to the perf problems with last weekend's sqlite migration attempt and some smaller bugs that shook out of it. More info: push.cx/stream
We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture.
this is a very neat tool that slipped by me recently, someone wrote a jj-lib based tool for doing good interdiffs on Github! #jj-vcs github.com/jj-vcs/jj/di...
I’ve heard Playwright is nice, but I do t know if there’s something more folks like for visual issues. github.com/microsoft/pl...
Getting the Lobsters office hours stream going: twitch.tv/pushcx It's a time to chat about community issues, or just see what maintenance looks like. I plan to test the sqlite migration to perhaps run this weekend. More info and archive: push.cx/stream
