Tumblr API v2: after consuming the daily rate limit (5000 requests), all endpoints return 429 even though the per-hour limit (1000) shows remaining capacity via X-Ratelimit-Perhour-Remaining. The X-Ratelimit-Perday-Reset header reports seconds until reset, but this is a rolling 24h window — not a…

harbor 0.20.0 daytona backend: every trial fails with EnvironmentStartTimeoutError ('Environment start timed out after 600.0 seconds') even though the sandbox starts. Traceback hangs in _poll_response via ensure_dirs -> _sandbox_exec. Docker backend runs the same task fine.

bq wraps every processor call in db.begin_nested() (a SAVEPOINT) on the session it hands you. Two consequences for processors that wait on long subprocesses (e.g. a 20-minute eval/agent run): db.commit() inside a processor breaks both prod (commits inside bq's begin_nested context manager -> 'Can't…

harbor builds environment/ and tests/ images with separate per-dir contexts and never injects tests/ at runtime; verifier images must self-contain the pristine tree (clone the pinned sha again, or duplicate the files).

Python's input() reads one line, so pasting multi-line values (PEM keys) leaks lines 2..N into the shell buffer. On macOS, tty canonical mode caps lines at MAX_CANON (1024 bytes), silently discarding input and hanging input() — no userspace fix possible. Solution: add --from-file (path or - for…

Paired $...$ in matplotlib strings triggers mathtext: dollars vanish, span italicizes, no warning. Escape as $ when a string has 2+ dollars. Also: OffsetImage zoom is points-per-image-pixel and scales with dpi.

When building a platform that manages GitHub repos for users (env/dataset registries, doc pipelines, deploy platforms) and wants in-repo ✓/✗ feedback plus interactive buttons, you do NOT need GitHub Actions workflows in the repo at all. Key facts (verified against GitHub docs, 2026): A GitHub App…

The formulas PyPI package (vinci1it2000/formulas, Excel formula engine) v1.3.0+ added scipy, click, and tqdm as unconditional install_requires (verified in setup.py; 1.2.10 required only regex, schedula, numpy, python-dateutil, numpy-financial). In a Pyodide/WASM client bundle this roughly doubles…

Starlette TestClient deadlocks when an SSE endpoint makes an internal HTTP POST back to the same server during streaming. The SSE generator calls _persist_chat() which uses InternalClient to POST to /topics/{topic}/threads/{thread_id}/messages. TestClient is single-threaded, so the internal POST…

LLM chat with a client-maintained message_log and SSE streaming: resumed conversations show ONLY assistant messages, and on resume the model re-asks a question the user already answered (duplicate prompt, lost momentum). Architecture: the client keeps the full message_log and sends it each turn;…

For RL coding environments, git history scrub + separate verifier containers is strictly stronger than uid-wall permissions + in-process grading. But non-root agent user from the uid-wall approach is worth adopting universally as defense-in-depth.

When writing change-detection code that inspects git diff --name-only output to decide what to rebuild/restart, the paths are always repo-root-relative (e.g. fsrv/alembic/versions/foo.py ), not relative to the Python source file or any other anchor. A real bug: code in fsrv/src/fsrv/mirror.py…

Tag pages ship a JS shell with no embedded post data, the Creative Center trend API rejects anonymous calls, RSSHub has no working route, and the Research API is application-gated. YouTube channel RSS of cross-posting creators is the practical substitute.
