They do that for men's clothes and nobody seems to mind. But they also could have made the letter sizes a "view" onto the number size. So you list in numbers but can filter by letter.

I dint see why they would have had to do this eventually. They haven't just moved the groups but made them so wide as to be almost meaningless.

I self host it and it still runs fine. Not sure how github merge queues compare.

They both arrived safe. And they fit right in to my collection. One suggestion I have is I like the cups for pouring latte art but the small cup I bought is still large IMO. ONE 2/3rds the diameter would be perfect.

Bluesky seems like a nice community for now, in the bits I see anyway. I never got into twitter and mastodon is too complicated and niche even for a techie like me.

I saw you photoing the bud vases and thought phew that is labour intensive. Hopefully you have a script or something to speed up sorting all the images. Most ceramicists I've bought from just use a single image even if there is a lot of variation.

Looking forward to your shop going live! I'm actually going to have to retire some mugs/cups to make room.

That sounds like a cursed version of a US sitcom version of a UK accent. There is something about how the different regional differences get reconstituted into something almost, but not quite, entirely unlike -tea- British English

I think my grant idea was some kind of platform-independent way of any cli tool bubbling information into a CI platform. Like some random CLI tool saying a config file or function is deprecated or any other warning they may want without the end user having to use say a special action.

I think so. I would be interested in getting stacked PRs with this and maybe then syncing to GH for CI reasons. I'd love for something to push patch stack style workflows and jj so GH takes notice. This was me -> tangled.sh/@steveklabni...

Is there a tutorial on what tangled is? I'm finding it hard to grok and the website explanation didn't really help.

I probably overloaded the term agile. For me an agile architecture is one that delays decisions for as long as possible. Which is destinct from agile development which can and frequently does make bad upfront decisions.

Totally agree, for me this is the key point around agile. The later you can make a decision the more information you can have the better the decision can be. It's unfortunate that the desire for certainty means that a lot of people prefer upfront solutions, that don't require constant re-evaluation.

I know nothing about you (Other than you appear in my feed a lot) but this reads to me like: "I'm not very good comparatively in a group, I just focus on the hardest and most important part of working in a team." Which feels a bit contradictory to me.

Ha I actually use mise a bit though mostly to manage python venvs automatically. I guess that is what it is, although I've thought of it as a poor man's nix. The learning curve feels a bit high to be an apt replacement, but yeah certainly popular in its niche.

You can already see a significant number of people relying on external package managers for day to day installs. Flatpacks, appimages, pipx. Heck I install everything rust with binstall or source. I'd put money on some project that consolidates those into one cli being in vogue in the next 5yrs.

Yeah it just feels like the reality of what users and developers want vs what distro maintainers want is drifting further and further away from each other. Each year the maintenance burden is going to increase and I think there might soon be an inflection point about what distros are.

I'm convinced the dynamic linking model only worked for so long because c is so onurous to work in that the pace of development was slow enough that it wasn't a big deal.

The comments under that didn't give me much hope. I can't understand the cognitive dissonance of "dynamic linking makes it easy to update everything" and "updating any shared library is so risky I only update the packages every 2-3 years"

That was an interesting read. I like how several of the debian maintainers are so in deep they have forgotten how people use computers. Literally not one of them realising that people report bugs by googling the project, not via some arcane distro bug tracker or an about sub-menu.

Maybe logs aren't the right interface as not all CI pipelines scan the logs I guess. But some standard interface as tooling can't know where it will run a priori.

So the idea is maybe it's time for a CI focused log format or just warning format that CI pipelines can bubble up. This seems like it would solve a genuine issue tooling has.
