Boah, jetzt mal ernsthaft, was ist denn das für ein Dialog bittesehr!?



Wer hat sich zu dieser Meldung diese Knopfauswahl überlegt und dann auch noch die Icons dazu ausgedacht? Und warum hat's das Zertifikat überhaupt schon wieder zerlegt? Und wieso kommt der Dialog direkt wieder in ner Endlosschleife hoch, wenn ich abbreche? Komplettversagen nach Strich und Faden an allen Enden. Allen. Grrr, so viel Hass! Ich schalt besser die Büchse aus.
@prologic Tolerant yes, but in the right places. This is just encouraging people to not properly care. The extreme end is HTML where parsers basically accept any input. I'm not a fan of that. Whatever.
@prologic The issue is that all bracketed text in the entire feed has been duplicated again two days ago. The bug is not fixed. Or it's a new one.
Now I just have to remember to tag people in replays ✍
... And, HOLLY!! infinite scrolling is real!! 👀

I just did and things are working wonderfully well now and I'm in love with how profile views are layed out! 👌 Thank you!
ok, sounds like a 'large' project to me.
Is it more an API (more oriented to developers), more oriented to UI/UX/Frontend? Perhaps both?

I'd go with prologic's advice of measuring and prioritizing. Perhaps you have a budget or at least something like "let's see how far can we reach in 6 months", and possibly you won't finish in the time you have (just guessing).

Something that has helped me was defining "Why do you we want to refactor this project?".
Could it be to make it compile on newer versions, or making it easier to grow and scale, or perhaps they are trying to sell that product to another company. Every reason has a different path, IMO.

@andros My first point of advice is to stop everything and measure all the important critical user journeys. Design and Build Service Level Objectives for each and every part of the system you can find that _any_ user cares about.

The project is a POC (Proof of Concept) that went into production and the company has customers who are using it. The developers had been working for several years, without testing, structure, isolation and so on. The company hired me to transform the project into a real product. There are in my hands 422 python files to transform that they beg me a refactore, architecture and testing. Every developer's bad dream.
My first step is to read and understand the tree because there are apps inside other apps call each other. I am very determined to work on a new repository.

#Clima: “A UE ateou o fogo e não pode esperar que outros países sejam os bombeiros”

“O aquecimento a curto prazo (anual) não equivale a uma violação permanente do objectivo do Acordo de Paris de 1,5 graus Celsius, mas esta violação a longo prazo pode ocorrer em breve: segundo o Copérnico [programa europeu de monitorização do clima e atmosfera], se a tendência de aquecimento de 30 anos até Dezembro de 2020 se mantivesse, o aquecimento global atingiria uma média a longo prazo de 1,5 graus Celsius em Janeiro de 2034”, destaca o relatório do WWF. E isso trará consequências dramáticas impossíveis de ignorar."

"Entretanto, na segunda-feira, terminou o prazo oficial para os países entregarem às Nações Unidas os seus planos de redução de emissões de gases com efeito de estufa até 2035. Cerca de 95% dos países não cumpriram a sua obrigação — entre os quais a União Europeia (Portugal incluído, claro)."

1st thought... Run!

Well, I've heard you have plenty of experience with Unit Testing and TDD. Perhaps designing a few tests before refactoring?

I've heard of Snapshot testing, but have never tried it: https://github.com/spatie/phpunit-snapshot-assertions

Also, what kind of refactor are you trying to do?
@andros I suggest to not touch it and work on a different project instead. :-D

No, in all seriousness, that's a tough one. Try to figure out the requirements and write tests to cover them. In my experience, if there is no good documention, tests might also be lacking. It goes without saying that you have to understand the code segments first before you can begin to refactor them. Commit even earlier and more often than usual, this will help you bisecting potentially introduced bugs later on. Basically baby steps.

But it also depends on the amount of refactoring required. Maybe just scrap it entirely and start from scratch. This might not be feasible due to e.g. the overall project size, though.
@andros I'm all for elegant solutions. I prefer when the computer helps me to really achieve my goal and solve it completely, not where I still have to manually filter a list by hand. Anyway. :-)
@eapl.me Yeah, you need some kind of storage for that. But chances are that there's already a cache in place. Ideally, the client remembers etags or last modified timestamps in order to reduce unnecessary network traffic when fetching feeds over HTTP(S).

A newsreader without read flags would be totally useless to me. But I also do not subscribe to fire hose feeds, so maybe that's a different story with these. I don't know.

To me, filtering read messages out and only showing new messages is the obvious solution. No need for notifications in my opinion.

There are different approaches with read flags. Personally, I like to explicitly mark messages read or unread. This way, I can think about something and easily come back later to reply. Of course, marking messages read could also happen automatically. All decent mail clients I've used in my life offered even more advanced features, like delayed automatic marking.

All I can say is that I'm super happy with that for years. It works absolutely great for me. The only downside is that I see heaps of new, despite years old messages when a bug causes a feed to be incorrectly updated (https://twtxt.net/twt/tnsuifa). ;-)
Ugh. Found a rust spot on my vehicle, and apparently it's in a bad spot. Costs almost as much to fix as the vehicle is worth.

I think it is not easy to implement, you need a database. Timeline is an elegant solution: read and sort.

that's a fair point.

Perhaps, since Twitter in 2006 never implemented read flags, every derivative microblogging system never saw that as an expected feature. This is curious because Twitter started with SMS, where on our phones we can mark messages as read or unread.
I think it all comes from the difference between reading an email (directed to you) vs. reading public posts (like a blog or a 'wall,' where you don't mark posts as read). It's not necessary to mark it as 'read', you just jump over it.

Reading microblogging posts in an email program is not common, I think, and I haven't really used it, so I cannot say how it works, and whether it would be better for me or not.
However, I've used Thunderbird as a feed reader, and I understand the advantages when reading blog posts.

About read flags being simple, well... we just had a discussion this morning about how tracking read messages would require a lot of rethinking for clients such as timeline where no state is stored. Even considering some kind of 'notification of unread messages or mentions' is not expected for those minimalist client, so it's an interesting compromise to think about.
Hahahaha, this is brilliant! :'-D https://denmarkification.com/

@lyse that feed looks all messed up, in a big glob.
@eapl.me Read flags are so simple, yet powerful in my opinion. I really don't understand why this is not a thing in most twtxt clients. It's completely natural in e-mail programs and feed readers, but it hasn't made the jump over to this domain.
@mckinley Yeah, all this JS and HTMX garbage messes up a lot of things which used to work better in the earlier days.

Un documental delicioso. Grabado durante 13 años, por lo que incluso vemos el cambio de la tecnología de TV.

Agridulce al ver envejecer a alguien, y cerrar ciclos. Al mismo tiempo vemos la cultura tan japonesa de especializarse en una cosa y vivir para trabajar. Es contrastante al comparar contra la cultura de uno, aunque abre mucho los ojos a otras formas de vivir.
