When you use the phrase “let’s be honest” do you mean “let’s be honest with each other“ or do you mean “let’s be honest with ourselves“?

FUCK YES I'm outta hell, and I can replace chromium+poppler+cairo+svgcleaner with node.js which is going to shave... 509 megabytes off my container image.

Q: how do you know when Headless Chrome is actually done rendering a page, webfonts included?
A: not DOMContentLoaded, not load, not firstMeaningfulPaint, not fontsLoaded, but...

PSA: beware "negative" cargo feature flags. Flags they can't remove dependencies, only add them. For example, chrome_headless's "offline" flag is backwards: https://github.com/rust-headless-chrome/rust-headless-chrome/issues/489

fasterthanlime OP ,
@fasterthanlime@hachyderm.io avatar

@djc sqlx certainly, but also that fucking chain (even though I have the 'offline' feature turned on, so it never makes an HTTP request in the first place! but that would require flipping the cargo feature flags and that's a breaking change I guess)

TIL about wezterm's "adjust_window_size_when_changing_font_size" option you can set to false and get the behavior I've wanted all terminals to have forever:

I'm doing Cmd+Plus and Minus, and the window size doesn't change: only the text size

fasterthanlime OP ,
@fasterthanlime@hachyderm.io avatar

@Cyborus resize the window so the number of cols/rows remains the same

Accidental poetry is all too easy in Polish: if you say "w sobocie" (case 6) instead of "w sobotę" (case 4), suddenly saturday is not a time... it's a place ✨

Some French neobank. (Sumeria, used to be Lydia) just sent me a VISA card. It has raised lettering. So...

...if you take the card
...and you throw the paper out
...anyone can read the 16-digit credit card number, expiration date, first name and last name of the cardholder 🥲

fasterthanlime OP ,
@fasterthanlime@hachyderm.io avatar

@overanalytcl I haven’t noticed that problem on other cards. I think the base Revolut card doesn’t actually have raised lettering. The other ones probably have plastic around them, or something else that doesn’t mark as easily. This one straight up acted as a printing press.

@krans That seems like good advice. I have just ordered one.
