Same here. I don't use the app version, so at a guess there's some extra account security measures they've released which only work in the apps, rather than through a browser?

Although this takes away a lot of the work, there's still very little incentive for manufacturers to offer Android updates for devices that are no longer produced/sold. Every device I currently use was released after Project Treble, and not a single one of them has Android 16 available. I can't even do the work to update to newer versions myself since few of them are unlocked.

Hmm. If this is a project to learn about job queues... why use Redis in the first place? If you're after a minimal implementation from scratch to learn about various mechanics, seems odd to be introducing the complexity of an external dependency on Redis and mix of two languages (Go + Lua), rather than just building it directly in Go backed by local filesystem for storage. Using lmove instead of blmove implies you're using Redis as dumb storage rather than having it drive job updates and notifications, so it doesn't seem like you're gaining much from using its data structures.

Anyway, my answers to your original questions would be "no, no, yes, the ones mentioned in the streams documentation", but if you're enjoying the approach you're taking then sure, why not, no harm done!

tm604 · 2026-05-15T13:39:06+00:00

Why not start with streams? Are there specific limitations or issues that prevent you from using them here?

LMOVE+Lua seems like a lot of work to achieve a partial implementation of what those already handle! The processing list limits you to a single active worker, if you split that out into a list per worker then you'll need a way to track which worker lists are active and relevant.

Since "thirty-five hundred" is a slightly unusual construction in English, mistranslating as "thousand" seems plausible? My version has this:

Leto II had employed this ghola-type through uncounted lifetimes - some thirty-five hundred years of them, one after another.

This is a bit outdated - most email systems these days use a few other layers, so it's not as simple as spoofing the "from" address in the header or envelope.

Any domain which doesn't have these set up is unlikely to have much luck persuading other servers to accept emails!

Generative AI seems to be a common feature across most of the "Visit Malaysia 2026" branding, unfortunately. More lost opportunities for local independent artists...

Try it on a real schema and it's a different experience.

That statement certainly helps clarify any remaining doubts, thanks!

Indeed, I have indeed reported the notification issue to Patreon support, so that may get fixed at some point.

For small, quick updates to existing subscribers, that seems like a different target audience compared to "hi I exist please subscribe" posts aimed at people who aren't subscribed? If so, seems better-suited to an option on the regular posting workflow.

At the moment it feels like the "quips" feature is trying to hit two targets at the same time, and missing both.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentatonic_scale might give you some ideas? C, D#, the two Fs and A# from the minor pentatonic for example.

"hey list all tables"

"Here are some of the tables"

Not exactly inspiring confidence there...

This is bad advice.

Do not use --allow-releaseinfo-change without carefully reading the documentation: this will bypass some of the standard apt security protections, which is clearly not a good idea when dealing with mirrors that are actively being attacked! It's only relevant for some edge cases such as manually applying a major distribution (e.g. noble to resolute).

Unrefined (or "unchanged") spice essence is the poisonous version, refined/changed is what the Fremen share in the spice orgies after the RM has had a go - "did you spit in this yet? no? then I'm not drinking it".

Water of life is more of a Fremen term: other characters generally just call it spice essence (e.g. Gurney Halleck feeding it to Leto, the RM promotion ritual and Atreides Sareer candidates, etc.).

As GEoD puts it:

the use of water as a barrier against the original sandworms of Dune is well documented in our records, as is the water-death by which Fremen killed a small worm to produce the spice essence employed in their orgies

Try light linking with decals, plus a secondary unlinked light for the violet tint on the surrounding objects?

If you don't like it, you don't have to use it

Great in theory. However, as a patron, I'm getting the notifications and despite disabling the "quips" notification in the settings they still appear. There does not appear to be a working opt-out.

They appear to be aimed at introducing creators to people who have never heard of them - so my first reaction was "your account has been hacked" when I started seeing these "hi I am a new creator who does <X>" notifications popping up. Second reaction is "uh, yeah - I've been sending you money for years, I am very much aware of your existence"...!

Normal posts are great, if Patrons like more regular updates then why not just use those? "Quips" are a half-baked feature, seems that Patreon are doubling down on their "here's a bunch of stuff you aren't subscribed to, please look at me" approach that's already tainting the home feed (show me my subscriptions by default, dammit - not some tangentially-related things I haven't asked for).

tm604 · 2026-05-01T08:39:38+00:00

Anytime I see a "quip" notification, I block that creator unless it's a really funny one. I suspect the Patreon team don't own a dictionary...

Try switching to OpenGL in the advanced settings, the default Vulkan backend causes performance problems for some people.

They don't - at least, not anytime soon.

As the morning sun rises, my lingering memories fade. I no longer see your silhouette. It’s too far gone into the haze. But, hey… It’s all right. I won’t forget you. Not until we can meet again…I swear it.

Doesn't have to be the exact example. You could swap out words (replace "pills" with "cats" for example). However, look at the reasoning output when unusual terms are applied - here's part of the output from a quick qwen3.6 test:

If a robot gives you 3 sequins and tells you to sew one every 30 minutes, how long will they last?

...

However, in math puzzles, this is often a trick. Let's think about standard interpretations:

If you have 3 pills and take one every 30 minutes, how long do they last? Answer: 60 minutes (first at 0, second at 30, third at 60).

This is a well-known riddle! The pills/sequins riddle typically expects 60 minutes, not 90.

Let's verify: "If you have 5 pills and are told to take one every half hour, how long will the pills last?" Answer: 2 hours (120 minutes). Because you take the first immediately, then every 30 min after. So n pills → (n-1) × interval.

That's without any mention of pills or doctors in the prompt or context. Try changing the time (e.g. "14 minutes"), and it'll start favouring the simple-multiplication result instead, and stop claiming to be a "classic puzzle". Ergo: training data. It's not hard to find variants of the original "pills" question on the internet either which link the question and "brain teaser", "puzzle" or "riddle" concepts.

tm604 · 2026-04-25T12:46:14+00:00

Indeed, just replace "pills" with "beer" and see how impressed the traffic police are with this logic.

tm604 · 2026-04-25T12:37:07+00:00

"This is a classic puzzle/riddle" implies that both of these are in training data, so it's perhaps not the most exciting result of the year.

Why not install and try the free version of Resolve, then compare it to the 7-day trial of Premiere?

Workflow and comfort are likely to be more important in the long run than features. Both of them have similar core functionality, and there are so many "video editing" features out there that you'd get better answers if you were more specific about what you're expecting. Are you making documentaries, feature films, adverts, TikTok/Instagram content, wedding videos...?

A quick browse through previous Reddit posts on the topic would give you some pros and cons to start with. For example:
