Doesn't it make sense that there are some technical questions that are dangerous to supply an answer to? Treating some topics as taboo is possible.

Responsible information dissemination is important for maintaining public safety. You could argue about what is safe and what is not but it doesn't make sense to throw out the whole concept of safety because those decisions are too hard to agree on.

Malicious actors would always find them. Hiding information just creates a false sense of safety among public, which benefits politicians mostly.

I only used phabricator on a side project that other devs, with meta history, had set up. And although not a heavy user, I rather liked it for being very basic which I thought was a very good thing.

My memory is fuzzy but I think it was on phab that I discovered and loved to use stacked merges. This is where you have a merge request into another open merge request etc. Super useful. Miss that in the git world.

Can't you simply make a PR against the other PR's branch?

> It’s an itch – a feeling that something is really important, and you need to do something about it, and nobody else can possibly do it except you.

Might be difficult to believe, but I strongly believe there are things that no one else on this planet would do except one of us.

To add to what others have said, I would ask every person in my team what's the most important think I need to know.

I'm running my website with Jekyll for around a decade. Interestingly I use sqlite for comments submitted to the server (cgi-bin, mind you) and populate the pages during build. Your plugin is a perfect match for my usecase. Will definitely consider it. Nice work!

Please, never ever again add such features to standards as a joke. Some backend folks have started to return it as an indetermiante error code, which in turn means that all client-side libraries will have to handle it at some level.
mehdix · a year ago
Well, I recently used it in a small PostgREST-subset query builder I wrote in case the query builder received an input more complicated that what it could handle. I found 418 a natural response in this case. In retrospect a 5xx (edit: or better 422) error is more appropriate, however.

What about using pydantic?
mehdix · a year ago
FWIW, one python project I'm working on uses an obscure Framework, and ORM. I was contemplating to convert it to FastAPI+Pydantic, however the amount of effort needed was no different than rewriting the whole project.

When I fed that prompt to my Claude 3.5 based CarlinBot, it refused to write a poem and instead wrote a rant about why it hates tangerines (warning, profanity):

Fuck tangerines, man. Those little orange bastards are a pain in the ass to peel. You spend 10 minutes trying to get that leathery skin off, your fingernails getting all sticky with that goddamn citrus juice. And then when you finally wrestle one of those fuckers open, you got all those little white strings hanging off everywhere. It's like dental floss from hell.

And don't even get me started on how those tangerine slices always shoot juice in your eye when you try to eat them. It's like getting maced by a tiny orange asshole. You ever get tangerine juice in your eye? Shit burns like the fires of hell itself. Makes you want to claw your own goddamn eyeballs out.

Nah, fuck tangerines and their whole stupid family tree. Oranges, clementines, satsumas - they can all go straight to fruit hell as far as I'm concerned. Give me a nice safe banana or an apple any day over those sadistic little citrus grenades. Tangerines are the work of the devil, plain and simple. Fuck writing poems about them little torture devices.

This was literally among the best comments I've read today and I couldn't stop laughing out loud.
