So today it is Friday the 13th and apparently I should have stayed in my bed.
Just spent way too much time troubleshooting why the curl requests I got from Firefox by using "copy request to cUrl" did not work. Turns out it is a Firefox bug. For unknown reason it adds a caret "^" before each parameter separator in the query string in the curl request, breaking everything. 😞

If you've ever wondered how we prioritize the front and backend features on our development roadmap - and how we're going to improve on delivering our highest priority items - the latest State of the Thunder has answers!
I noticed a bug in our binutils port that had been generating semi-randomly broken branch relaxation trampolines for decades.
Why did it take so long to notice this code generation bug? The branch has to reach farther than +-32MB for the branch relaxation trampoline generation to kick in. And even then not all branches were affected (the type of relocation affected it, it had to be in a link library in a specific kind of segment and not in the beginning of it). Finally, for it to actually come into play, the branch had to actually be taken, too.
What did it do wrong then? It added the offset to the target function in the link library .text segment twice. So instead of jumping to the intended function it jumped somewhere random after that. Funnily, the jump might end up hitting some code that did not crash, but did something unintended. For you all non-developer peeps: That is very, very bad.
Fun features of this bug: Since whether the trampoline was generated or not depended on the order of object code and from where the affected call was being made, the bug would pop in and out of existence even on the smallest changes to the code or link libraries. If you know a thing about debugging, this is not very conducive to locating bugs.
Needless to say this one took a lot of head scratching to finally figure out. The fix was a change on a single line.
This bug was old enough to get into bars and drink alcohol legally.

GitLab CFO, Brian Robins, says they are “aligned with the goals of DOGE, because the company’s software tools aim to help people do more with less. What the Department of Government Efficiency is trying to do is what GitLab does.”
You either support fascism or you don’t. It’s binary. There’s no gray area or “aligning.”
Considering GitLab? Don’t.
Use @Codeberg instead.

Po dlouhe dobe jsem otevrel XCode, stahnul SDKcka pro iOS a bohuzel zjistil, ze se ve vyvoji pro iPhony moc nezmenilo. I ve svete Swiftu a SwiftUI resim stejne bizarni problemy jako za dob drevniho mobilniho vyvoje. Ten ekosystem se z pohledu DX vubec nikam neposunul.

Originally called NSFKeys, and originally made as an experiment during the Intel Macbook/Touch Bar/Boot Camp era, rewritten this month, the app is meant to make using a touch bar on Windows more accessible.
Maybe it could still be useful?
I have also updated Capbeeper, fixing the double tray menu open bug, featuring slight sound volume adjustments, and (thanks to TouchBarSpeak), the “Run as admin” feature/option, accessible from the systray menu.
I hope any of this is useful, if it sounds like so, feel free to check things out.
