Let me know if you might be interested in adopting one (or several) by clicking the button to get notified at restock, it will help me estimate how many to prepare for the drop!
I’m hoping to have them ready to launch by mid to end of April~
Hacker News 
@futurebird So tell me, she who knows, I've got some bugs coming up in the next section of my series of novellas. What's a good documentary on ant behaviour, possibly bees, for me to steal some cool bits for my alien bugs? My characters will be literally crawling into the nest, so I need a good primer. A lecture recorded at a university might also work.
Over the years I have encountered my share of memorable problems. They were remarkably complex, hard to debug, completely obvious in retrospect, or plain funny. Read the story of one of them on my blog:
It might be pleasurable, not to mention profitable, to establish a #GitCoin as a means to reward those who put in their time and effort to seek out #bugs in #OpenSource repositories published on #GitHub.
Also, an open-source, from-the-ground-up implementation of #cryptocurrency in Erlang using OTP might be fun, useful, and instructive.
#python is by far my favorite programming language. I’ve been using it for so many years that it’s just as natural to write python as it is English. I don’t get as many chances these days to write stuff for work and well, I haven’t found problems to solve with it lately. Would be happy to help fix some #bugs or help implement #features in any #foss or #oss projects in need.
On my wife's laptop, when it was on Ubuntu 22.04 on XFCE if the laptop lid was closed to put the laptop to sleep sometimes it wouldn't resume correctly and the mouse would not register clicks and the keyboard wouldn't type unless you did Control-Alt-F1 then back to X with Control-Alt-F8.
After some more digging I discovered both TLP and ACPI were trying to suspend the laptop when you closed the lid so I disabled the suspend in TLP. Then I think I found either ConsoleKit or Upower was trying the same thing.
Anyway, her laptop had to get a minor repair (power pin became loose from the board) when it came back I reformatted it, put Void Linux on it with Mate and only the services needed and it never, ever had that suspend/resume buggy input device problem again.
#WhatIsThisBug? I'm in Wales and it's about 18mm long in total, 6mm of which is body.
Pike on debugging and The One True Fact.
"There's a bug. What's the ONE thing you know, for a fact? You know for a fact that that bug happened. [...] That is a FACT. And whatever else that fact tells you, it's really important to figure out why it happened. You start from the fact that the failure occured and what that failure tells you about the work." [around 26:30 in the recording]
Oh, such a beautiful, graceful talk. Full of bits of wisdom, small and large, about software, about work and collaboration, about personal development for the long haul. Presented with wit and warmth. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
unhinged critter sticker selection from my shop 
This is by far the tiniest item I have ever crated with felt!
This is one of my 5 upcoming handmade felt magnets! Because yes, a little magnet is hidden inside its belly and you can attach it anywhere that holds magnets!
I’m hoping to release them before the summer, so stay tuned!
It's officially Snow Flea time, spring must be around the distant corner.
Today it will be up to +10 C, and the little springtails are crawling up to the snowy surface to eat algae, fungi, and organic litter. There are so many that sometimes the boot prints in the snow are black with them.
Their bodies contain antifreeze, making them very cold tolerant.
So... today I created a defect where a mechanism scheduled for retry was being redundantly scheduled. For every attempt that failed 2 retries were spawned. As you can imagine this quickly escalated from 1 to 2 to 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 retries all queued at once. Eventually gobbling up all system resources until the kernel OOM is triggered. Reminded me of the classic fork bombs back in the day.
When I was working on my first Django project, I encountered a problem where modifications done inside pre_save signal were not stored in the database. Back then it took me a couple of hours to figure out what is wrong and how to fix it. I’m sharing what I’ve learned to save that time someone else.
