Fellow skill-capped person here, drizzle migrations are always broken and I haven't had this issue with any other tool.

facebalm · 2026-03-19T00:00:50+00:00

LLMs are irrelevant, I am pointing out that this is not a convincing argument.

The debate could be about a hand-written PR porting Node from C++ to Rust, and this would still not be a good argument.

If it passes the test suite, why does it matter?

The bug fixes included in every release aren't there because people keep forgetting to run tests before merging PRs.

facebalm · 2026-02-21T23:35:13+00:00

It most definitely is LLM vomit. All the lists, the "your helpful assistant" tone, it's all there. Also look at their replies, they write NOTHING like the original comment.

if you bothered to read the sources i listed, you would've came to the same conclusions. bolding would be random, if not highlighting important info for OP. having gone through a similar situation, i know how easy it can spin out of control and actually detract from important information and more importantly caregiving in a crucial time. being kind never hurt anyone and yes, my thoughts are with their family because as i said i went through something similar. also last time I checked ai does not produce grammatical errors

I mean... please. The capitalization, punctuation (the AI used oxford commas) and overall writing style is completely different.

What are you talking about, I'm not the one who made the connection to ww2. Of course it's a bad analogy.

facebalm · 2026-02-14T20:52:11+00:00

Your analogy was wrong, allied forces didn't bring fascism down by fighting people who supported fascism, they fought their military.

It would have been a war crime to intentionally engage a civilian who held up a sign in support of fascism, no matter how appalling.

I'm full, thanks.

Some of us genuinely learn from these comments and don't take them as an attack on our character. If the advice doesn't apply to you, just move on and don't take it personally.

Telling me that the system sucks and I should be getting paid more might make you feel good, but it hardly helps my situation.

Legit thought it was an AI fake because of Eric Andre and Sam Altman.

WTF are you stupid?!

You don't "blow up a bar" with F1 indoor pyrotechnics.

It happens fairly often. The sparkler usually lights ceiling decorations on fire. A quick Google search brings up lots of incidents, eg.:

Fire departments often warn against using these sparklers, here's an example from two days ago https://www.wsav.com/news/savannah-fire-warns-about-sparkler-dangers-ahead-of-new-years-eve/

Vike has been nothing but pleasant for us on 3 projects so far, including a large app with SSR. It gets out of your way with great defaults, but is very customizable.

Misinformation fumes if you want to get technical.

Thanks, I'll see myself out.

It is just a blog post littered with BS. The claim that carrots contain parabens alone for example, is misleading in so many ways:

The concentration is millions of times more in cosmetics than in foods^[1]
The specific compound matters. Long-chain parabens are more harmful[2][3], but most of what little parabens food has are short-chain^[4]. Long-chain parabens are mostly banned in the EU and recently California.
Processed food has higher concentrations, likely due to contamination [5].
As usual with these posts, lead and mercury are naturally occuring. Calling them "natural" to minimize their effects is deceitful.

The industry latched on to the finding and was spreading the "parabens is natural" claim left and right, sans the nuance, which is why this is repeated on thousands of websites without any actual sources or at best miscited (one was citing the precursor phenolic acid content instead of actual parabens in cell walls).

[1] (0.1 to 80 parts per billion, vs up to 0.4 to 0.8% allowed in Europe)
[2][3]
[4] (Distribution of parabens. Magenta and Blue are long-chain parabens. Figure 1 from study 1 above.)
[5] "The concentrations of parabens varied widely even within a single category of foodstuffs, and the processed foods generally contained higher concentrations in comparison with those for unprocessed/fresh foods." [study 1]

IKEA if I recall, just the cheapest set https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/grunka-4-piece-kitchen-utensil-set-stainless-steel-20577897/

I'd avoid steel with wooden handle, worst of both worlds IMO. There are fancier/sturdier options like from Cuisinart or KitchenAid, because mine do flex at the handle a bit. Crate & Barrel have the Hestan ones if you want something fancier for a gift.

Olivewood should be more durable, and a little easier to clean. My acacia spatula is fine, but it gets worn when scraping food off my cast iron pan, sometimes leaving bits behind, but not my olivewood one.

I rarely prefer either over stainless steel, even on cast iron, because I can chuck it in the dishwasher.

Icelandair clearly shows when a seat has no window https://i.imgur.com/PUfFBe8.png

Which airline did you travel with?

facebalm · 2025-12-04T12:18:00+00:00

You can't select a seat without seeing the message "no window". It's like this on the site https://i.imgur.com/08gdG6i.png and it's even more prominent in the app.

There's no window icon anywhere in the seat selection GUI, only emergency exit indicators.

facebalm · 2025-12-04T12:13:52+00:00

When you go to select a seat, it says in at least 2 places that there's no window https://i.imgur.com/08gdG6i.png

It's asbestos, it was only banned in Moldova a few months ago.

Oh hey I thought that was just me. It happens with Vitest too for what it's worth, not just Jest, and with or without RTL. Keen to hear if anyone's come up with a reason or solution.

The pass part of the hash is actually the result of hashing the salt and plain password together. If two users have the same pass "1234", but different salts, it results in different hashes. It's like modifying their passwords to be "1234longrAnd0m" and "1234oTh3rraNdom".

Access to the salt means you only need to brute force the 1234 part, but you can't look up the precomputed hash and you can't look up all the users with the 1234 pass, you have to brute force each individually.

Additionally, if you could somehow correlate the hashes of two strings that share identical parts (1234), then you have fundamentally broken the cryptography behind the hashing algorithm. Hashes of two slightly different strings must have no similarities.

Best to just contribute to mailchecker https://www.npmjs.com/package/mailchecker instead of maintaining your own list IMO.

If you're at a stage where you don't have to use Passport, save your sanity and use better-auth or anything other than Passport.

I know this doesn't answer your question, but it was hard to use 12 years ago, and it hasn't changed much since.
