@[email protected] Self-references are especially mind-blowing in some cases.

I have a tiny UI widget - a clickable text. Its clickable zone is a sum of it's letter extents. So, a text is hovered when mouse is inside the zone. But then, you can change the font style or the text itself - which leads to a change in hoverable zone. And this still works!

- An object state depends on mouse position and object size. And object size depends on object state. Sure, no problem.

>>> response.status_code
500
>>> response.content
b'{"error": "unhandled error: 404 Not Found"}

Dear programmers, please don't do this to the consumers of your APIs. I spent pretty much a day trying to get the response text of a mysterious 500 (the text wasn't logged). Would've been nice to know it was actually a 404, which made the error immediately obvious.

Don't hide HTTP codes. And don't mask original exceptions with "more user-friendly" messages either.

@zpartacoos Ah, the famous "creepes"
@entoni А что за современный стек? Может мне тоже надо.

@ojahnn Broccoli can be as good as carrot. If you want it crunchy just don't boil it down to a slime.
@[email protected] @[email protected] @allison I switched to twitter-as-rss format when Google killed the Reader and people started announcing their stuff on Twitter instead. Before that (and before retweets, thread ugh-rolling, etc.) there was at least some degree of personal connection. Now it's a huge pile of mud.
And hey, I found a decent feed reader, no need to follow anymore.
@humanetech @[email protected] @jens Most likely it's a constraint designed into it. There's no principal reason for it to avoid coherent texts.
@amiloradovsky the secret is being exhausted all the time. Then you can be different on other parameters at different times.
