One of the many joys of using AI for programming is the creation of huge PRs on complex topics that the authors barely understand, but still suggest "because they work". Here's a great example from #OCaml github.com/ocaml/ocaml/...

Kudos to OCaml's maintainers for handling this so gracefully.

I've been using Coolify to manage applications for a while, but I'm starting to think it's vibe-coded or something. Things break from version to version.

What do you use to manage your servers and software running on them? I've heard good things about uncloud.run, but haven't tried it myself

What vibe coded hellscape is this? Agents? Agent workspace? MCP on Windows?

If they don't get their act together soon, before the Steam Machine launches, I'm uninstalling Windows for good, after 20 years of using it.
Some marketing image displaying all the new AI buzzwords they're trying to put in Windows.

Frog and Toad illustration edited to say: Frog put the value in an option. "There", he said, "now we will not deref any more null pointers". "But we can unwrap the option," said Toad. "That is true", said Frog.

A reminder that “enshittification” has a specific and useful meaning and doesn’t just mean “things, companies or countries are getting worse”. There is an existing word for that which is “decline”.

No one else is seeing this on NuGet? Getting it both via CLI and website upload.

No one else seems to be complaining. Feels like they are shadow-banning me or something 😁
Error message: There is a conflict with the ID and version of your package and another package.

Hey NuGet! Can you tell 11e4935e to get back to me ASAP? It's been 48 hours of disruption now!
E-mail: "Hi @Patrik Svensson Thank you for contacting NuGet.org support. We received your request and are actively working on it, will keep you posted with updates accordingly. Best Regards, NuGet Admin (Representative: 11e4935e)"

I showed my father this picture, and he said, "But why don't you charge money for it?"

Oh, you sweet summer child.

Do I know any Blazor experts here?

If I click the "MyComponent" button below, I get an error saying "The render handle is not yet assigned". However, if I first click the "Click me" button, and THEN the "MyComponent" button, it will work as expected.
Blazor code: @page "/counter" @rendermode InteractiveServer <PageTitle>Counter</PageTitle> <h1>Counter</h1> <p role="status">Current count: @_currentCount</p> <button class="btn btn-primary" @onclick="IncrementCount">Click me</button> <button class="btn btn-primary" @onclick="_myComponentRef.ShowComponent">MyComponent</button> <MyComponent @ref="_myComponentRef"></MyComponent> @code { private int _currentCount = 0; private MyComponent _myComponentRef = null!; private void IncrementCount() { _currentCount++; } protected override void OnInitialized() { _myComponentRef = new MyComponent(); base.OnInitialized(); } } Blazor code: @if (Show) { <h3>MyComponent</h3> } @code { public bool Show { get; set; } public void ShowComponent() { Show = true; } }

Great. NuGet reports a 409 CONFLICT error when updating a package, but there is no package with the same version. Before that, it was 5-minute timeouts for the last hour or so. Related to the Cloudflare thing?
