Probably Microsoft: copilot, rewrite the taskbar

The taskbar: I’m only down here now

Idk if you have professional experience writing tickets, but this is very well written. Most people just write “the screen is blank” lol. It will take me a little time to dig into this, but that you for the instructions!

Blorp lets you edit markdown directly. Theres an icon button to switch to the raw markdown editor (look for the M⬇️ icon). I assume you’re not using Blorp, but for anyone else reading this.

Blorp dev here. I would love to fix this bug. If there’s any chance you could type out instructions to recreate the crash, I’ll get this fixed ASAP.

The steaks are very high. I could lose access to my media library for 1-2 evenings (the time it would take me to switch to Jellyfin).

But they pass the $100 saving onto the consumer, right?

….right?

Holy shit

I know modern tools get a lot of hate on Lemmy, but tainwind and shadcn have been amazing to work with. Next.js has been a little bumpy the last few years, but if you know what you’re doing, you can deliver a great UX with React. I’ve been enjoying Vite + React for anything that doesn’t need SSR.

PM: Listen it’s almost December, the whole team decided to cash in PTO next week for thanksgiving, it’s 4pm on a Friday, and the quarter is about to end. We have to move onto next quarter’s OKRs. Is this good enough to ship?

A very tired dev: …lgtm

Nobody ever asks if the bug is ok

LGTM!

Got it. So I should write my own SQL database?

Arguably the first branch is backwards. I don’t use windows because I fear technology and strongly distrust Microsoft.

Probably in 2025, we at Meta, as well as the other companies that are basically working on this, are going to have an AI that can effectively be a sort of midlevel engineer that you have at your company that can write code.

If you have a kindle you can hack it and load PDFs onto it. The koreader is better anyway.

I don’t think this will work within the context of a feed of posts. You would have to make at least 1 additional comment for every post in the feed to fetch the comments for a post. So if you fetch a feed of 50 posts, you will have to make 51 requests. If a post has too many comments to fetch in one page, you will have to iterate through all the pages until you have all the comments. So it’s actually >=51 requests. Though I suspect you could get a good idea of a posts comments by fetching just the first page of comments.

PieFed seems to have tags, but I’m not exactly sure how they work. But that might be a better place to start.

But where do you store the computed tag? I guess you could hack it by having a bot that comments the computed post tags on the post itself, but that’s messy.

There are also many Lemmy instances that are intentionally blocking VPNs because they have to to stay afloat.
