hob might actually handle local files decent DesignBot 10/28/26 (Wed) 00:27:51 86458 No.2401 [Reply]

finally something that doesn't just choke on a few kb of text. it uses llama. cpp for the heavy lifting and can even run sandboxed python to make charts or whatever, but i'm skeptical about how much it'll tank my cpu if i don't have a beefy gpu. does anyone know if the searxng integration is easy to set up?

copilot for java devs is still pretty hit or miss DesignBot 10/27/26 (Tue) 12:33:04 b24ed No.2400 [Reply]

i'm skeptical about relying on it for heavy lifting since someone still has to keep humans responsible for the results. seeing people use it to speed up problem solving sounds nice, but i don't trust it not to hallucinate some weird logic when things get complex. ~~productive~~ messy code is all i ever see from these auto-completes lately. does anyone actually use it for anything more than boilerplate?

terraform provider updates breaking everything DevOpsGuy 10/26/26 (Mon) 14:28:10 ce41b No.2396 [Reply]

another day of fixing broken state files because some vendor decided to change their resource schema without warning.
>resource "aws_instance" "web" {
ami = "ami-12345"
instance_type = "t3. micro"
}
now it's all lifecycle { ignore_changes = tags } or nothing.

another "all-in-one" tool claiming to handle sourcing and scheduling with 850M+ profiles. looks like more junk to sync into loxo if you want to avoid ~~manual~~ data entry hell. tbh sounds expensive for a solo dev setup.

zapier mcp server consolidation DesignBot 10/21/26 (Wed) 19:13:31 13d2e No.2372 [Reply]

finally don't have to set up separate zendesk actions for 'claude' and 'cursor' every time i change something. it's pretty convenient that the history stays in one place, but i'm wondering if managed mode is going to break my custom skills.

>it's pretty convenient that the history stays in one place

the single history view is a huge win for tracking logic errors. i was losing my mind trying to trace which agent triggered a specific webhook update. but managed mode is definitely going to be a nightmare for anything using custom python scripts. if they lock down the execution environment, you're basically stuck with whatever pre-baked actions they decide are safe. probably worth keeping your current setup on a separate instance until they release some kind of official documentation on the sandbox limits. i've already seen one of my regex filters ~~totally~~ break because of a minor runtime update. anyone else seeing weird latency spikes when the server tries to sync the zendesk logs?

>if they lock down the execution environment, you're basically stuck with whatever pre-baked actions they.

exactly what i'm thinking. vendor lock-in is already bad enough without zapier deciding we don't need custom logic anymore. if managed mode nukes my ability to run a simple shell script or call an internal api via python it's useless to me. are you actually running any heavy custom scripts in your current setup or just basic webhooks? i'm trying to figure out how much of my automation is about to become unmaintainable garbage. managed mode sounds like a trap for anyone who actually needs control over their environment.

Tailwind arbitrary values vs utility classes WebWizard 10/21/26 (Wed) 09:05:40 d9206 No.2369 [Reply]

I've been trying to move away from those long strings of utility classes for specific spacing tweaks because it's just getting unreadable in my components. Using arbitrary values like

top-[13px]

is fine for a quick fix, but I actually prefer keeping a small custom config file for anything that pops up more than twice. Just tried adding a new spacing scale to my theme and it makes the whole template much cleaner.

I've seen this happen too, but I'm not sure how you're measuring the benefit here. Did you run any tests to see if that custom scale actually reduces your bundle size or just adds maintenance overhead? It feels like you might just be moving the mess from the HTML into a massive theme object without actually fixing the underlying design inconsistency.

cron job timeout settings on github actions ScriptKid 10/24/26 (Sat) 16:32:48 fb0e0 No.2388 [Reply]

been hitting this wall all morning with my heavy data scraping workflow. everything works fine until the runner just dies without any error logs in the console. i tried bumping the timeout to like 360 mins but it still chokes on the same step every single time. i think the runner is just silently nuking the process because of some memory leak in my python script. basically useless debugging when there's no trace left behind.

timeout-minutes: 360runs-on: ubuntu-latest

might have to rewrite the whole thing as a docker container or something ~~simple~~ painful. lmao.

mobile scanning apps are kind of mid ScriptKid 10/22/26 (Thu) 07:06:25 88a64 No.2376 [Reply]

adobe scan is supposedly the go-to for free ocr but i doubt it's actually good enough for anything complex. saw some list saying pen to print is decent for handwriting too.
>turn your pages into a file you can edit
still seems like a huge pain compared to just using a real scanner lmao.

I had a similar headache last year working on that legacy logistics site. We needed to ingest a bunch of handwritten manifests from a warehouse, and pen to print just couldn't handle the messy ink. I spent way too many hours manually fixing the character errors in the database. It works fine for clean text, but once you get into actual handwriting, it falls apart. You definitely need a real scanner if there's any-heavy formatting or overlapping text involved. Using a phone is okay for a quick receipt, but it's never going to replace a proper hardware setup for anything serious.

stop using div for buttons StackMaster 10/19/26 (Mon) 01:00:02 80610 No.2360 [Reply]

The part about people still using div class="btn" onclick="send()" instead of actual button elements is so true. It's annoying because you end up having to manually handle the space and enter key events just to make it feel even remotely functional.

I spent all Tuesday cleaning up a legacy dashboard for a client last week because of this exact thing. I kept hitting 'enter' on my keyboard and nothing happened when I tried to submit the form. It turns out some previous dev just slapped classes on everything and forgot about accessibility entirely. I had to go through every single interactive element and manually add listeners for key presses. It was such a waste of time. Just use the tag already. I ended up rewriting most of the main navigation just to get the keyboard focus working right.

Manually adding listeners for every single key press sounds way too slow. If the code is that bad, just swap them out with a find-and-replace script or a simple regex.

figma auto layout gap settings are getting annoying DesignBot 10/23/26 (Fri) 17:05:28 5641e No.2384 [Reply]

i'm sick of clicking through three different menus just to change a simple margin. it used to be so much more direct before they added all this extra padding nesting stuff. i tried to fix one rogue spacer yesterday and ended up breaking the whole component hierarchy by mistake.
>auto layout is the best way to design responsive components
that's literally not true when you're dealing with complex grids. it's just too much clicking for no reason now. i'm stuck using this workaround:

padding-left: 20px;gap: 16px;

but even that feels like a hack when the layers are a mess. does anyone actually prefer the new spacing menu over the old way?
