"How many of you have experienced this before? 🙌 🦆
Rubberducking is real. Not only with rubber ducks, but with colleagues, friends, and family.

Another example of #rubberducking in the wild. This is from "Arctic Chill" by Arnaldur Indriðason. Erlendur, a detective, is visiting his terminally ill old boss and mentor in hospital.
> Erlendur began to report the progress of the investigation. Marion listened with eyes closed again. Erlendur did not know whether his old boss was asleep. [...] Erlendur took his time. It helped him, too, to go through the case slowly.
In this case, Marion does give a clue with his last words.

Captain Janeway over here is still a better debugging tool than all the top-notch AI models combined (even when armed with a gazillion MCP tools and augmented with every kind of documentation imaginable). Plus, it’s a far better user experience overall. If you’d like to share your problems with Captain Janeway, I charge a very reasonable price per token.

I just wrote an elaborate message on Slack, asking coworkers for help debugging an issue.
After I had written the message, with video, screenshot and code snippets attached, I realized what was the issue - just typing it out had worked as rubberducking.
On a completely unrelated note:
Unreal Editor compiles shaders asynchronously. So, if a (constant) material instance needs a new permutation, it might not apply immediately. It should work fine in the build. -
@jk Thanks a million; and hadn't come across this term before :) #rubberducking

Ich weiß gar nicht, ob euch klar ist, was für eine liebe, in sich ruhende, gelassene, hilfsbereite und soziale Ente Pöttke eigentlich ist. Bei all dem #RubberDucking und #NesterBauen eigentlich nicht überraschend – ich selbst bin nur so berührt und überrascht von dem, was Pöttke mit und für den kleinen blauen Elefanten gemacht hat… 🥰
Und jetzt habe ich »Du hast'n Freund in mir« von #KlausLage als #Ohrwurm, was ihr euch bitte als Soundtrack zum Video vorstellen müsst!

Ah, yes, the *riveting* tale of the rubber duck 🦆—a groundbreaking #innovation in #problem-solving straight from the annals of Bell Labs or Xerox PARC, or wherever. Why brainstorm with colleagues when you can just talk to a plastic bird and pretend it’s listening? 🙄 Bravo, #academia, for elevating “therapy duck” to a whole new level of intellectual rigor! 🎉

@Razemix @bycx @electricCZ Díky všem za #rubberducking, už to běží. Měl jsem nastavené WAN/DNS, ale měl jsem nastavit LAN/DHCP.
Ne, že bych se v těchto věcech úplně vyznal, ale objevil jsem, že k tomu má #Turris @turris návod. https://wiki.turris.cz/cs/public/pihole -
Note that by what I'd consider normal OO design principals I'd consider getExtraBlah to most properly exist in @Entity...
But having to pass in the properties from an external point to generate the value feels very clunky, it's "knowledge" intrinsic to the @Entity that ought not be informed by an external call IMO.
OTOH it's simple to generate the value in the @Controller (via a helper method should it be needed more than once) and pass it into template-land via a Model attribute. This just feels wrong in different ways.
Maybe what I need to investigate is ways other than @Autowired/@Value to access properties independently from within an @Entity? OK... I'll look into that later when I'm back from touching mud.
Going a bit #RubberDucking here lol...

Because it is #Friday13th I will use my black rubber duck for #rubberducking 🦆
Even as a #BusinessAnalyst it is a good approach to get out of the rabbit hole and think in different perspectives. Rubber ducking is such a valuable technique for business analysts, developers, and problem-solvers alike.

@unixtippse @hbauer #rubberducking ist ein vielfach erprobtes und bewährtes Konzept :D

While I am still very sceptical of #LLM #Chatbots, I must confess that I use ChatGPT (the free version) more and more.
My main use cases are as a search engine for #Lean4 functions (because there is no real #Hoogle alternative for Lean yet), and to bounce ideas during #RubberDucking.
My bets are still on LLMs being a dead-end in the search for AGI, but I no longer consider them only a useless software toy.

Watson: "You have formed a theory, then?"
Holmes: "I at least have a grip of the essential facts of the case. I shall enumerate them to you, for nothing clears up a case as much as stating it to another person, ..."
The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes: Silver Blaze.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle describing the practice of Rubber Ducking in 1892, with Watson as the duck. 🦆

I had an idea. With the help of my son (3D printing) and my wife (painting), it's a reality.

I guess sometimes you just need to add a third database…
🤷♂️
All Kitten apps have two databases by default – your app’s database and Kitten’s internal database for your app where it manages things like sessions, etc., for you. But now I’ve come across a use case where I need a database for the Kitten instance itself, that’s scoped to Kitten, not the app it’s serving.
(Yes, I’m rubber ducking and you’re all my rubber ducks, so there!) :rubberduck:
:kitten:💕

Ever talked to a rubber duck? 🦆 Rubber Ducking is about articulating problems to uncover overlooked nuances. It’s oddly effective, even when the duck is just in your mind. #RubberDucking #DebuggingTricks https://debugagent.com/debugging-tips-and-tricks-a-comprehensive-guide

In #Bärland ist @idealistik ziemlich gut umsorgt:
Pöttke rubberduckt,
ich rubberhorne
und Elfi lernt gerade rubberrüsseln!Hobbes gehört natürlich auch zum #SupportTeam im #ArbeitszimmerVonBärland.
Der passt auf. -
I made a Rubber duck with CSS.

@jason @haekelschwein Ah, typisches Häkelschweining!

There's nothing quite like posting a full question with all the detail for spurring you on a little. I found a great answer to a similar problem, and wrote up the solution! 🦆

@Schneems Snips worked somewhat, but the filament is wound on the spool so tight I can't get it off without tangling. I'll try a Dremel next week; cover up the filament and cut from the inside of the mounting hole. If I can do that cleanly, I only need to print or laser cut two plates for the sides and attach those to the existing spool core (the inner width of the spools I have are an exact match to Bambu’s). #rubberducking

Danke fürs Zuhören, Fediverse. Das Rubber Ducking hat geholfen. Irgendein Fuchs hat ein @Profile in einer Library versteckt 🦊

Beeindruckt zu sein, wird bei uns, soweit ich das wahrnehme, gar nicht eingesetzt beim #RubberDucking. Eher Mitfreuen, Anteilnahme, Aufmerksamkeit und eben Zuversichtlichkeit. #AllesWirdGut
Pöttke und @carola1horn sind zumeist auch zu dritt, aber was Hobbes macht, wird #Aufpassen genannt. Und das macht er nicht nur, wenn wir am Rechner sind.
