programmers are always posting like “worked on tracking down an issue with a Flurble deployment for twelve hours. the problem wasn’t in Flurble at all - it was in the Gumbies install. It turns out if you install Gumbies 3.0 over Gumbies 2.7 and don’t do a cache flush on all the client spiders they’ll get stuck in the crystal maze.” then you look up Gumbies and the site is one of those scroll scroll scroll types with one sentence per page, like
“GUMBIES is a lean, expressive sharding sandcube for testing and deploying large scale Woodchips playgrounds.
GUMBIES automates and streamlines away watersliding phases, meaning your team can get right to the chipping.
See why Microsoft, OpenAl and Bloingo have embraced GUMBIES in their Woodchips workflows.”
and you get to the bottom and you’re like I want this I guess but I still don’t know what it is

Maybe there wouldn’t be as many issues with the crystal maze if GUMBIES POSTED DOCUMENTATION. HOW THE FUCK DO YOU WORK YEARS ON A STABLE GUMBIES CLIENT SPIDER API AND NOT WRITE A LINE OF DOCUMENTATION DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO NOT USE YOUR SOFTWARE???

Oh and WHY THE FUCK THE OFFICIALLY RECOMMENDED NPM PACKAGE FOR GUMBIES HAVE BEEN IN VERSION 0.1.1 FOR SEVEN YEARS AND SEEMS TO BE DEVELOPED BY “powerwolf112”, who hasn’t answered a single message in GitHub since 2021???
For all the bells in hell, there are massive websites that are using this amateur crap to defrumbulate their typescript decorators!

found this thread while trying to debug an issue just checking if anyone knows whether GUMBIES is backward compatible with Pea Gravel playground deployments or if its exclusive to Woodchips thanks in advance

The GUMBIES page being one sentence per scroll scroll scroll is right on point for a fuckload of projects. Even the text feels like it was copy pasted from a real project
And that one line is something like “fixed issue where the nuclear bombs don’t go off anymore”, no mention as to how or why that was even a problem or how they fixed it.
I use Gorillas with Grandparents instead as the performace is much better. Do you know how bad Gumbies looks on your resume? It came out in 2022.
I experienced a new hell today
The whole of the documentation was in video format and you had to accept all cookies to play the videos
At least with GUMBIES not having documentation there is a wide thread of people asking questions on third party sites
Projects based on Gibson novels are lame. The new hotness is documentation based on Bradbury novels.
This was legitimately part of the reason I went with Laminas instead of Laravel for a project. I really don’t want critical documentation to be in video form.
I fully agree with you. However, I just had an interesting thought. Could someone use chatgpt to transcribe the video’s audio to text and plop it into a wiki?
Any documentation videos that comply with the accessibility requirements in many jurisdictions will have subtitles. Just extract the subtitles from the video.

@anarchywoofwoof I found some documentation that answers your question: https://www.deadlink.com/dontevenclick

@ThomThumb Thanks, that’s exactly what I needed, so glad to have the answer to my problem. I’ll leave this up for anyone that has the same issue.

Does anyone have a way to fix this in the latest version? I’ve been looking all day but none of the answers I’ve found work.

nvm figured it out.

It’s fun that it went: Mastodon (fediverse) --> Tumblr (non-fedi) --> Lemmy (Fedi)
Heh, had already boosted, liked and bookmarked it, nice! 😄
Is the fediverse starting to get rolled into the mainstream content farm. Might help our cause and get more people on the bandwagon.
I saw an article posted on Facebook yesterday about the five guys burgers and fries price complaints, and it quoted word for word comments I saw on a thread here on Lemmy the day before that.
Literally Plato’s Cave.
Yeah usually we just go from Tumblr to Fedi. This is kinda interesting.
Turns out the content holds the value, and the hosting platform is a mostly replaceable and interchangeable delivery mechanism. Who would’ve thunk?
Look, the crystal maze is absolutely essential to run Woodchips without a waterslide. You can complain all you want, but unless you want to run back to Microsoft for your woodchips deployment, this is the way. I’m not saying Gumbies is perfect, here, just that it’s the only viable unix implementation. If you want come up with your own sandcubing solution for Flurble, be my guest.

It’s retro-encabulators, isn’t it?

Ooooo, new programmer meme lore.
Wait a second… Is that a Mastodon screenshot on a Tumblr blog?!?
Quick! Screenshot it here and post it on Facebook! The cycle must continue!
I’m not on facebook, so I took a screenshot and put it on discord
time to put it on matrix
Your turn!
Give me a screenshot of you putting it on Discord, and I will.
I’ll need photographic evidence if you putting it on matrix
I am not 100% convinced that this is satire…
Gumbies isn’t real… Right?Wdym? Gumbies is a must-have for any competent Summit developer these days!
https://www.gumbies.co.uk/ it’s real all right.
Are… are these tacti-cool… slippers??
ordered.
Okay at least I know what to do with those.
because this is the internet, I’m not exactly sure what you mean with that… and frankly I’m scared to ask.
I mean I was just going to put them on my feet… That’s what they’re for, right? RIGHT?!
Oh god, now I don’t know either…
Nothing is certain!
Reality is starting to crumble!!!
I’d say God isn’t that cruel, but
Give some JS dev about fifteen minutes
Gumbies isn’t real, but if you can explain to me how CI/CL or github actions work using only their documentation I’m going to proverbially eat a hat.
Funny you should mention GitHub actions. It’s exactly one of those tools where I was like “this seems cool. I would like to use it, but I don’t even know what for…” and then when I tried to look into it some more I was just more confused than before.
Example: update a discussion based on a markdown file.
using only their documentation
Wdym, are you expecting me to explain something using nothing at all‽
This is really very relatable, some projects lack both clarity and documentation, and trying to make sense of internals from the examples is a mess of a process
Every time I want to do something, I have a look around the baffling ecosystem of frameworks and end up writing it from scratch because it’s easier than wading through the bullshit.
You should release what you’ve written as a framework, that’s what everyone else is doing.
<Insert XKCD standards comic here>
We’ve got a good name for it
I feel that the nature of my framework is too simple and too focused on a specific goal to be worthy of the name.
Thanks everyone, I figured it out.
Alternatively: “Never mind, I figured it out”
Forum responses like that are why two of my four IBM Model M’s don’t work anymore…
I won’t lie, but content like this is what I love on programmerhumor.
Also just use the (inferior) open source version of GUMBIES called GRUMBOSS. It’s way better!
The recent regulation changes at the end of February kinda killed GRUMBOSS though.
LUMBIES is open source MIT and GPL3+
Just saying.
Yeah, but LUMBIES is missing catScratcher integration! That’s a core feature for my use case and the dev has taken a (ridiculous IMO) proud moral stance against any sort of felidae-adjacent features
Good luck with that. Nintendo just sued GRUMBOSS for $2.4M and shut the project down.
Gumboss doesn’t work with the new version of .net and no merge requests have been accepted in like 8 months so you have to manually patch each instance of it yourself to get it work.
There’s a script you can download to do this automatically and it works a good 70% of the time!
If you’re unsure about GUMBIES, you should take a look at this video.
My wife is in accounting, and I always thought they have too many meaningless jargons.
Now I know how I sound when I talk to her…
Now I understand where ChatGPT hallucinations come from.
tumblr will save us from the AI takeover
