  1. @d2718 ooh thanks!

    I actually found a different one (rust_cgi), but yours might be better because I can (probably, for example) make an project and then have a custom executable that receives the call through CGI instead of the regular server.

    The other one already uses hyper's http library, but an outdated version, so I'm not sure how that'll play with whatever Actix expects. Since dumb_cgi is nearly nothing, I can see myself fitting it onto whatever :rust:

  2. The absolute worst thing about #Tableau is that every year, whoever in the #bureaucracy is responsible for (or at least the person I've been _told_ is responsible for) sending me my renewed license key _doesn't_, and doesn't even answer my emails, and so I have to go bothering and begging a bunch of people whose job it _isn't_ to get my new license key.

    I don't even want to USE this fucking software; don't make me BEG for it, and _please_ don't make me _bother a bunch of people_ for it.

  6. With #Bandcamp becoming another victim of capitalist shortsightedness, let's remember to pour one out specifically for the fact that they took up #Cakewalk 's #Sonar software after it had been abandoned by Gibson, and released the best version of it since Sonar 4, FOR FREE.

  7. I've spent since 8:00 this morning tracking down a bug that turned out to be due to a misunderstanding on my part of how the #OpenXML #DotNet API class hierarchy related to the OpenXML tag hierarchy.

    I HATE OPENXML

    THE DOCUMENTATION IS BAD

    THE EXAMPLES ARE TERRIBLE

    Also XML in general is terrible.

    I have wasted more time on this project wrestling with this kafkaesque (the roach guy, not the event streamin lib) excuse for a format/API combo than anything else.

  8. For the record, I'm going to yolo #AdventOfCode with #Onyx this year. It looks pretty interesting; I really wish the standard library were documented better, though!

    #OnyxLang

  9. WHY, #TABLEAU, WHY?!?!

    My data is not large!

    Y U TAKE FOREVER WITH EACH CLICK?!?

    Even bringing up the RIGHT CLICK MENU takes several seconds. Why? WHY?

    Y?Y?Y?Y?Y?Y?Y?

  10. Looking at survey platforms. #Attest advertises on its "Pricing" page:

    >Straightforward pricing for predictable research costs

    There is not a single price on this page, and you can't get a price unless you book a demo.

    Mm hmm.

  13. OMG, I can never remember the exact syntax for using array parameters in SQL I feel like it's subtly different for every language/library/RDBMS implementation combo.

    #SQL #postgres #PGO #gleamlang

  14. Sorry for the #lazyweb request; I've looked and come up mostly empty-handed:

    #JS peeps, are there any effective minifiers that are just a single binary and don't require node? My use case specifically is targeting the output of the #elm transpiler, if that helps or matters.

    Thanks.

  15. @MadMike77 You might be able to use a feature. Have your tracking operate through a function call, and in the function definition,

    ···
    [#cfg(tracking)]
    fn track(args, blah, etc) {
    // tracking logic goes here
    }

    [#cfg(not(tracking))]
    fn track(args, blah, etc) {
    // this version is a no-op
    }
    ···

  16. Okay, nerds, I'm thinking about moving from #Debian to #VoidLinux ; I've daily-driven Debian for over a decade now, and mostly have no problems with it. I've just been increasingly leery of systemd, which now is rearing its ugly head (in admittedly an unexpected way) with the whole age-verification thing; runit does seem much less Lovecraftian.

    I installed Void just for the heck of it a couple of years ago on an old/underpowered netbook style laptop, and it seemed just fine, but I didn't use it much or rely on it for anything.

    I run sway as my VM with just a couple of custom programs as a sort of nod to a "desktop environment".

    Is there anybody out there who has experience with both who wants to either reassure me or scare me off? Any advice would be appreciated.

  20. CW: Mild rant involving profanity, implied browser incest, and the word "boner".

    Okay, so the Windows 11 "Native" #WebView2 requires a <meta charset ...> tag in order to get UTF-8 (even with a <!doctype html> declaration!); otherwise you get that fucking "I Can't Believe It's Not Latin-1" monstrosity responsible for a billion black rhomboids emblazoned with question marks.

    Like, I know the Windows commitment to backward compatibility is beyond zealotry, but it is THE YEAR TWO THOUSAND TWENTY FOUR OF THE COMMON ERA. When was the last time _anyone_ wanted _anything_ that wasn't UTF-8 [* see footnote]? What would it break to have the _correct_ defaults? Somebody's GeoCities site with text "exported as HTML" from 32-bit MS Word? That you're looking at with the native Win 11 webview for some reason?

    It's branded as "Microsoft Edge WebView2", which I assume means that it would only be allowed to marry Chromium in certain southern US states. So someone seems to have _actively made_ this regressive decision (as opposed to it just being an oversight due to all of MS's huge "AI" boner diverting all the blood from other departments).

    Thank you for your attention as I threw my hissy-fit.

    * You retrocomputing dweebs don't count; I'm talking about doing actual work, not reveling in obscurity for the sheer joy of it. I fully support you guys having all the EBCDIC or whatever that you want; I am sure none of you are using the Win 11 WebView for fun.

  21. Okay, Outlook, I'm signing in via the #Outlook app on my phone, and presented with some #2FA that I need to verify using...the Outlook app on my phone? Is this state-of-the-art security practice from one of the tech industry's leaders?

    #MSOutlook

  22. I recently deployed my first full stack #Gleam app at work. I wrote a blog post about it, but it just sort of came out as a laundry list of likes and dislikes, so I figured I could just list those here.

  23. So I changed the wallpaper file. It works like a fucking charm. #LiteXL never ran (or at least displayed) so smoothly on this machine before. Would recommend.

    It sure can be weird to find out where a system is robust and where it's fragile.

  24. Is anyone else going to be at the Gov't and Public Sector #rstats conference tomorrow?

  26. RE: social.coop/@chrisjrn/11661872

    Okay, this is cool.

    Introduce yourself with 10 bands you've seen live. @chrisjrn suggests the bonus constraint of excluding festival shows and bands you were "tagging along to" (associated with?)

    * They Might be Giants
    * Shalinia/The Fiendish Minstrels/whatever Mitch Easter was calling himself that week
    * Velvet
    * The Old Ceremony
    * International Orange
    * Aimee Mann
    * Des Ark
    * Dressy Bessy
    * The Toasters
    * The Decemberists

  27. My boss just canceled a meeting, and I so badly don't want to be doing what I'm doing right now that I stopped to draft an email complaining about the automated message.

    I deleted it; I'm not a total idiot, but jeez.
