I have been trying to digitize our measly ~7 GB of historical documents for about a year at the Wayland Library and the regional library council that is supposed to provide resources is basically radio silent

I mean the reason in principle I am obviously stupid no matter what I do is because I am not *insert stereotype here* of the person who needs to purge all the genetically unfit people (who do not need to prove anything because they fit the known pattern)

I do have a PhD in physics and people seem to feel about half the time that is actually evidence I am not very smart (maybe correct about choosing to get a PhD)

I am unreasonably sensitive to caffeine and I feel like people are overreacting a touch to what is just a nice alternative option, not replacement, for caffeine

I'm so biased to only want cli tools written in go or rust

Makes sense for CLI tooling, and there is a great advantage having a single binary, easy cross-platform compilation and avoiding the whole dependency hell 😜

the thing i hate about rust is tokio or async-std

It's okay: async hates us too, so it's mutual. 🙃

So what if you publish the truth? If no one stands up and does something about it, it isn’t conducive to effecting change. Now, if speaking the truth gains an ROI on accountability. Maybe you have something.

There are all sorts of oddities and sharp corners like Reusable Workflows don’t resolve references to actions in the same local repo. You have to use fully qualified refs to a branch or tag, otherwise it tries to load the action relative to the project repo which makes no sense in any context.

this is about how github resolves dependencies for action tasks, and even if you lock them, transitive dependencies cannot be locked down

Obvs I don’t have the exact scenario but it sorta feels like something you try to pin down as much as possible in the runner image/container and then the action is only concerned with playing in the (known good/correct) space.
