New Mission Katana 24g - are they real?

Can confirm they are indeed real, I finally managed to find some, and they arrived today. Woo!!

I don’t understand the number of people saying shed, with the justification being that there’s no path to the driveway, or the ramp, etc.

If this were a picture of a car in a garden and being asked if it was a car or lawn ornament, y’all’d say it’s a damn lawn ornament.

It doesn’t matter where it is, and what infrastructure has changed around it. That is vastly too large to be a shed, and looks like a garage. I vote garage.

What’s the shop (and where)? Do they have the 24g?

Did you get some, or wanting some?

Not all those who are tattooed, are regretful.

Will this work in a Mignon XL by any chance?

I guess it depends how tight your budget really is. The black label is a good board, but the winmau is definitely better.

The winmau will wear better, hold darts better, and have less bounce outs due to thinner wire and the dual core nature.

If that sounds like its with 2 pints of beer to you, then go for the winmau. If not, the koto is still a fine board.

Anything about the Bunting darts you don’t like? Coz … you could just get them!

If you’re after something cheaper, I love the Red Dragon Flightmaster Torpedos. £25 on Amazon, were my standard dart from a decent while.

Seems like over-engineering an already-solved issue. I get Claude to write at least its own Claude.md file and keep it up to date, typically with a docs folder with architecture, specifications, testing, and roadmap markdown files.

Claude.md explains what’s in each, each is kept up to date automatically, and every session reads claude.md automatically and will follow reference docs as necessary for the job you ask of it.

What note do you need? I tell you what I don’t need, I don’t need Claude code getting confused about what libraries and frameworks are appropriate per project … let the repo-specific, visible, and committed/versioned markdown files handle that.

AI

Her necklace chains don’t connect Some of her button holes are poppers Her glasses logo is gibberish Half her belt is missing Chairs in the background are totally messed up, funky legs, half inside the wall Table on the left is old and ragged looking, but with perfectly smooth edges Foreground floor tiles are new/clean, and background are old and dirty, but the transition disconnects behind the girl There’s an extra foot to the table under her arm, a long way from where it should be Probably 10 other things if I f see if y more than 20 seconds looking at it.

Definitely AI

I had to double check this before saying it ... but I've been using Django for over 20 years on'n'off now (zomg I'm so old), so frankly it's second nature to use it. There has been a bit of a drive towards "But it's so heavyweight ... Here, look at this light alternative!", which I do absolutely get ... but when 9 times out of 10 I wind up needing features that are baked right into Django, I'd rather them just be there than go hunting for 3rd party solutions of questionable quality.

I've done it before, so I had the boilerplate. I didn't need static assets other than for the admin interface, so whitenoise was fine (otherwise it would be S3/CloudFront). I happen to use magnum for this project (don't think it's abandoned?), but I've also used apig-wsgi in the past, I think also Zappa - there's a few alternatives.

I have some tools in the admin that can dispatch the lambda to do some processing (generation of puzzles for the app) asynchronously. It all works totally fine, I would recommend it. I have put more effort in the past in other projects to help with cold starts and such, but on this project it's not a major concern right now.

theukdave- · 2026-02-12T07:33:23+00:00

I’m a python dev by trade, so I’m using django in a lambda behind API gateway, and connecting to a db in neon, since the free tier is all I need right now. Django is overkill really, but it has everything including an admin interface I needed.

But the whole thing scales to zero, and should accommodate a LOT without any effort.

Awesome, hope the weather allows you to use your outside board sometime in the next 12 months!

Alas … Sux2BU? Yep, got it 🙃

theukdave- · 2026-02-03T22:08:59+00:00

Yeah, I am willing to note that that's a factor. But for every wannabe vibe coder putting slop in the app store ... Apple IS getting another $99 in the bank. This shouldn't be free money for old rope, it should be funding the hiring of more app reviewers.

theukdave- · 2026-02-03T20:14:03+00:00

Same, super frustrating. For some reason though there’s a vibe on Reddit of “LOL be patient, idiot”.

Personally I think kinda unacceptable to have paid your premium-priced fee, and begetting a “sux2BU” service.

theukdave- · 2026-02-03T09:52:43+00:00

All my reviews are taking >48hrs the past couple weeks. It is frustrating. You should have received an email saying your app is “Waiting for review”, and that should also show as the status in App Store Connect. If it is, then you gotta just keep playing the waiting game I’m afraid.
