i still remember when atlassian decided to remove the markup language from confluence and to switch exclusively to some built-in gui editor. them making it so you can't do exact match search and always have to go through some "intelligent" algorithm instead is very much in character

our internal wiki is backed by GitHub, so the edit button takes you to the GitHub edit-and-commit flow. works pretty well even for the non-engineers

we use a couple trello boards for internal stuff and im pretty sure it coincides with atlassian buying them that the @name notify function got poo poo

every browser ive tried, you have to wait for it to pop up the suggestions before you hit tab, otherwise itll just go @carthagtuek instead of @sub[junctive] like i was loving typing goddamnit

could be coincidence, but the timing fits

god notion sucks. any tool that overrides the browser context menu is a piece of poo poo, and also the text editor loving sucks and can�t manage state

This is what I do. But Slab can link to a git repo so you can have the best of both worlds (markdown render for the technical and non-technical folks in a wiki)

I actually hadn't even heard of it until a few months ago, until I needed to put a git graph example in a PR which is the exact perfect use case for it (despite being a weird goddamn use case)

Jira does a fun thing now where if you click Create Issue and try to do any formatting in the little pop-up form, not only will things not end up formatted, but any markup you tried to put in there will be escaped. You basically have to create a blank ticket, click on it, and then edit it in order to get any formatting support. Great job, everybody!

idk I like github actions logs having their own find-in-page that doesn't have any "case insensitive" option like my browser has had for literal decades

if there's one thing we can't trust to the browser it's a noninteractive text document

i've never encountered this issue, that i remember, but it has that perfect janky jira feel to it that i have no doubt it's there. my favorite jira mysteries are the ones that are intermittent with no discernible patterns. a common one at a former employer was opening images attached to tickets would sometimes expand them correctly, and sometimes have broken links. same ticket, same image format, same everything. no one ever managed to figure out why

the best thing is when sites with infinite scroll break this behavior. middle-click a thing expecting it to open in a new tab, and oops here it is in the current one. good luck finding where you were on that lovely infinite scroll page.

From d5cf50dafc9dd5faa1e61e7021e3496ddf7fd61e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Date: Fri, 12 Apr 2024 10:05:10 -0700
Subject: Kconfig: add some hidden tabs on purpose

Commit d96c36004e31 ("tracing: Fix FTRACE_RECORD_RECURSION_SIZE Kconfig
entry") removed a hidden tab because it apparently showed breakage in
some third-party kernel config parsing tool.

It wasn't clear what tool it was, but let's make sure it gets fixed.
Because if you can't parse tabs as whitespace, you should not be parsing
the kernel Kconfig files.

In fact, let's make such breakage more obvious than some esoteric ftrace
record size option.  If you can't parse tabs, you can't have page sizes.

Yes, tab-vs-space confusion is sadly a traditional Unix thing, and
'make' is famous for being broken in this regard.  But no, that does not
mean that it's ok.

I'd add more random tabs to our Kconfig files, but I don't want to make
things uglier than necessary.  But it *might* bbe necessary if it turns
out we see more of this kind of silly tooling.

What are you guys using for your work laptop commuter bag

I have a 13/14" MacBook pro, a pair of noise cancelling Bluetooth headphones in a hard case, and some kind of game console, and a battery bank plus one or two USB-C cables and pens and normal minimal bag stuff. Occasionally I'll grab a loaf of artisanal bread from the bakery down the street from my office to take home. My commute is primarily via light rail 30-45 min each way

I have a 9 year old Timbuktu medium messenger bag but all the clips have failed (technically they will warranty the clips) but it's getting grody and not really acceptable for the office as I've dragged it all over the world and got my money's use out of it

I've been using a Timbuktu Tuck bag (top loader with curl over top) I got from an old employer mid pandemic and it's clean and crisp but it's a literal deep black hole and I can't find anything and I mostly hate it but it's durable and reliable at least

Considering ordering a small Timbuktu small messenger bag with a combo of day glo yellow + orange, and reflective black panel (I commute downtown once a week l) for like $170. I don't really commute by bike, so that's not much of a concern, but I like the messenger bag form factor, I think

What is everyone using these days
