Gtk4 C File tree view

Summary The problem lies in creating a file tree view in Gtk4 using C, where the classic arrow to expand folders is missing, and double-clicking does not open them. The provided code attempts to create a tree model using GtkTreeListModel and GtkDirectoryList, but it does not correctly implement the expansion functionality. Root Cause The root … Read more

How do I dynamically get the number of characters in a H field or P aragraph field in CSS?

Summary This postmortem analyzes the common misconception that CSS can dynamically measure and apply the character count of text content for a “typewriter” effect. The core issue stems from the architectural separation between CSS (styling) and DOM content (state). CSS is a declarative language, not a procedural one, meaning it lacks the ability to read … Read more

Poetry: set env POETRY_REPOSITORIES_*_URL with partial url from gitlab

Summary The issue at hand is related to Poetry, a Python package manager, and its behavior when setting environment variables for repository URLs. Specifically, the problem arises when using a partial URL for the POETRY_REPOSITORIES_GITLAB_URL environment variable. This can lead to authentication issues during the package installation process. Root Cause The root cause of this … Read more

Broken NVIDIA/CUDA install

Summary A CUDA/NVIDIA driver upgrade on Ubuntu 24.04 resulted in a dependency hell and a NVML version mismatch. The system entered a state where apt refused to operate due to broken package dependencies (libnvidia-compute vs libnvidia-cfg1), and the existing NVIDIA SMI tool failed with Failed to initialize NVML: Driver/library version mismatch. This typically occurs because … Read more

Error Command “dev” not found when running yarn run dev

Summary A developer encountered a “dev” not found error when executing yarn run dev in a Node.js project. The root cause was an incorrectly formatted command in the package.json file, specifically an invalid character that broke the script definition. This is a common configuration error in Yarn environments where syntax validation is stricter than older … Read more

How to design an explainable AI pipeline for model predictions?

Summary Designing an explainable AI pipeline is crucial for understanding and justifying model predictions. This involves creating a transparent and auditable system that provides explanations at multiple levels: feature level, individual prediction level, model level, and system/architecture level. Key takeaways include using techniques like SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) and LIME (Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations) to … Read more

How do I make an image change when hovering over a link in HTML with javascript?

Summary A production-grade implementation of hover-triggered image swapping requires robust event handling and correct DOM traversal. The original code fails because the onmouseover and onmouseout inline event handlers are likely not firing due to either a missing jQuery library (causing the $ reference to crash the script execution) or malformed HTML preventing the browser from … Read more

Forcing contiguous, fixed-size, and aligned memory i/o (in the context of memory encryption)

Summary The question revolves around memory encryption and the assumption that reads/writes to main memory are contiguous, cacheline-sized, and aligned. This is crucial for efficient encryption and decryption processes, especially when dealing with symmetric encryption. The goal is to understand if such conditions are always met and, if not, how to force contiguous, fixed-size, and … Read more
