@samuelpepys@mastodon.social "After dinner in comes Captain Lambert of the Norwich, this day come from Tangier, whom I am glad to see." Perfection. The initial inversion, "in comes Captain Lambert", makes us feel the jolt of his entrance, and we are ready for hearing that the surprise is a welcome one. The relevant framing comes from the "after dinner" and the "come from Algier". A dense piece of information that also grabs us almost physically as an experienced event. The perfect diary entry. #Pepys #diary #style

Do you know what happens when you write C+++ Qt code with web dev experience? Your mental model for memory management (which is non-existent because JS has GC), leads to memory leaks.

It’s so bad I had to:

  1. rewrite most of the init code for member variables in almost all widgets so the expectation of “WidgetA” from “child C” of MainWindow is available when “WidgetB” emits a signal.

  2. currently debugging memory leak when MainWindow is closed - huh? Yup, I have a WindowActivate event that triggers a “status” update and ALL important widgets listen to the signal emitted by THIS fn to update the state.

  3. A connect() is causing seg fault right now when I update the widget’s state multiple times in a row. (still haven’t checked this out yet)

  4. clang-tidy is labelling cosmetic things like “Class obj = new Class();” into “auto obj = new Class();” and my OCD is annoyed.

Had fun playing #Cyberpunk2077 after a LOOOOOOOONG time. my netrunner V has either 2 modes - quickhacks or guns. No middle ground. (Is there anything else I wonder?) I need to re-learn how to grab people from behind so I can put them to sleep. I forgot the keybinding for it. Anyways, it was 3 hours well spent. #diary #gaming

Found the culprit! It was the max_id parameter in /api/v1/timeline/api/v1/timelines/home endpoint.

The code inside Tokodon is as follows:

// maintimelinemodel.cpp

if (!fromId.isEmpty() && !query.hasQueryItem(QStringLiteral("max_id"))) {
        // TODO: this is an *upper bound* so it always is one less than the last post we read
        // is this really how it's supposed to work wrt read markers?
        query.addQueryItem(QStringLiteral("max_id"), fromId);
    }

This code can be searched via max_id keyword. You need to comment out the query.addQueryItem line and Tokodon will work just fine.

I think this is a BUG for the following reasons:

  1. max_id invalidation failure
  2. Lack of retry logic w/o this query item when we know API response (data variable) is empty.
  3. When user logged out, all such data should be deleted as well. A full logout from the app should’ve reset this data.

A part of me thinks this info was sent by Mastodon server as part of my account info.

This is in Manjaro Linux fully updated with #Qt 6.10

This was a fun bug to track though :)
