Just picture how many vibecoded apps might have these issues inside that we won't know until it breaks tho

It took me approximately 6 hours of reading and checking other less potentially breaking solutions to locate the actual problem and have gemini help with the actual line of code needed (because again I don't know typescript)

4 lines of text with comments surrounding 1 particularly which was missing and broke the rest of the code

So here's the thing with vibe coding when you don't actually know the language (typescript). I had an error on my static webpage generator that I gave to gemini - it generated a whole bunch of code to replace the config with. The actual solution is this one missing line...

Huzzah - got my French results back for reading and writing and got a C and B, so will be able to attempt the oral exam for the first time in the new year 🥳😅

A screenshot of Obsidian MD showing knitting charts with a line of text showing the chart row in progress underneath. The first chart row reveals the calculation underneath: "Chart row: `VIEW[{back-count}%20]`", the second one shows the rendered calculation: "Chart row: 3"

I feel silly for not thinking of this earlier! I was doing mental math to figure out what row of each of the 9 charts I was on when I could just add a metabind view calculation to my row counter to find the remainder after dividing by the number of rows in the chart 🫣 @obsidian.md 🧶

a screenshot of a markdown note with a back chart section showing a row counter section where buttons can be used to add or subtract rows with back rows knit at 12

New addition today to the @obsidian.md : added meta-bind buttons for counting the row I'm on which is stored in the metadata (frontmatter) so I can match the number of rows on the front pieces and sleeve pieces

chocolate kimchi salad is surprisingly not bad

me finding out the trail mix I used in my lunch salad had a lot of chocolate chips mixed in after I dumped it on top of all the sesame dressing and kimchi I added in D:

the user interface of obsidian, a markdown editor software, that is customized to be in lilac, showing a graph with linkages on the right side, and the main note containing links and embedded charts.

I'm trying to be more disciplined about keeping notes for knitting esp because I have been doing it so sporadically that it takes forever to pick projects back up after a break. Doing a complex cable project; putting all the screenshots and annotating the pdf using @obsidian.md was a great idea 🧶

A bowl of tofu, peanuts, sesame oil, peppercorn oil, spicy chili crisps, soy sauce, and radish.

I must confess that I as a person born in Taiwan have started regularly eating and referring to spicy Doufunao as “Fern Brady’s Soup” (in a Scottish accent) since that episode of @taskmaster.tv

a screenshot of an obsidian vault themed in lilac, showing a homepage with an overview of the month of the month of august, at the bottom area a row of cards with images of book and article covers with everything that was clipped this month.

Bases continues to be *chef's kiss*. My main use case for @obsidian.md right now is to keep track of my environmental scanning/research and the cards option have made the previously clunky dataview codeblock look so pretty and more usable for getting a quick overview 😍 #obsidianmd

Actually, Slavery Was Very Bad The president’s latest criticism of museums is a thinly veiled attempt to erase Black history.

I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.

Ya so jokes aside, I was right the mysterious meeting in my calendar this morning was to tell me I’m going to be laid off 🫡

In the face of stress, my brain is helpfully serving up the phrase "feeling cute, might get workforce adjusted later 😜"

Techbro nerd: Works for big tech, coded some insidious AI bullshit that's constantly spying on you, lowkey probably a fascist.

Linux nerd: Sometimes insufferably hyperfixated and pedantic, but ultimately just wants people to control their own devices and digital lives.

Know the difference!

A screenshot of a rendered markdown note for the month of August 2025 with a quote: "The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists." ~ Hannah Arendt

When you copy and paste a random quote from Hannah Arendt in as a placeholder to test a local random quote generator plug in and then you read back the quote... OOOF.

doing it a little at a time here too - github is an easy one for me since I only recently started doing more coding that I want to share in the open so I didn't have much to move

heidi2 Codeberg is a non-profit, community-led organization that aims to help free and open source projects prosper by giving them a safe and friendly home.

all right - done codeberg.org/heidi2 and done heidi2.codeberg.page

today's project: continue to get off the microsoft ecosystem and migrate from github over to codeberg.org

The devil has enough advocates.

I wish some of the blood actually fed vampires honestly instead of being thrown out 😭

I think I’ve fed every vampire in Ottawa with the amount of blood I’ve had drawn for tests in the last 2 months 😵‍💫 (just some preemptive diagnostic testing, nothing serious, mostly just miscommunication between healthcare institutions that resulted in more samples being needed actually 😅)

When AI Imagines a Tree: How Your Chatbot’s Worldview Shapes Your Thinking | Stanford HAI A new study on generative AI argues that addressing biases requires a deeper exploration of ontological assumptions, challenging the way we define fundamental concepts like humanity and connection.

We love to see other people arrive at the same conclusion when all day is spent being asked “so what” and “why should I care”

This recent paper “argues that discussions about AI bias must move beyond only considering values to include ontology.” hai.stanford.edu/news/when-ai...
