A Shopware 6 plugin failed because it used a relative path to load a file from vendor/, which broke in a deployer setup where custom/plugins is shared across releases. Since plugins can live in different locations, such paths are unreliable. The fix is to use kernel.project_dir and build the vendor path dynamically via DI. Read the full blog post to learn how.

Fanciful Figurines flip Free Flood-It -- Polynomial-Time Miniature Painting on Co-gem-free Graphs
Christian Rosenke, Mark Scheibner
https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.00690 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.00690 https://arxiv.org/html/2602.00690
arXiv:2602.00690v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Inspired by the eponymous hobby, we introduce Miniature Painting as the computational problem to paint a given graph $G=(V,E)$ according to a prescribed template $t \colon V \rightarrow C$, which assigns colors $C$ to the vertices of $G$. In this setting, the goal is to realize the template using a shortest possible sequence of brush strokes, where each stroke overwrites a connected vertex subset with a color in $C$. We show that this problem is equivalent to a reversal of the well-studied Free Flood-It game, in which a colored graph is decolored into a single color using as few moves as possible. This equivalence allows known complexity results for Free Flood-It to be transferred directly to Miniature Painting, including NP-hardness under severe structural restrictions, such as when $G$ is a grid, a tree, or a split graph. Our main contribution is a polynomial-time algorithm for Miniature Painting on graphs that are free of induced co-gems, a graph class that strictly generalizes cographs. As a direct consequence, Free Flood-It is also polynomial-time solvable on co-gem-free graphs, independent of the initial coloring.

Wouldn't it be nice if the ACA tax credits were extended? I'm lucky, and it doesn't affect me directly. But indirectly? You bet. I have friends and acquaintances who will suffer if they aren't restored. I just contacted my Congresspeople, asking them to follow through on the discharge petition to have the house vote on this issue. It's easy you can do it too -The action network template makes it easy:

I cleaned up/firmed up my scaffold project to have tests, better file creation model, better docs etc.
Scaffold can be used to render many files from a template source - imagine you have a scaffold to bootstrap a Go project.
Combine this with interactive forms and you can have a interactive question-answer session to start up new projects.
I also added a CLI tool that lets you just use these features interactively.

I yearn for C 26 and not having to do repetitive tasks ever again to have a modicum of reflection. I want my static reflections yesterday, and my template for one day before that.

One of the stupidest fixes I ever did (after two days of searching how to fix the problem).
The problem was Kobo Books iOS app opening links to book chapters inside popups, instead of jumping to the target page.

Great idea to use Jinja! I’ve considered using a macro processor (e.g., m4) for similar tasks, but who wants to write m4 macros!? A template engine is a much better idea.

Because because because because because. Because of the wonderful things he did in the last scene.
Improv teacher Steve Hoopla in today's 'story' course guided us through some "Because Games", in which scenes are to be causally connected. Each following on from prior scenes. Because that happened, this happened.
He didn't explicitly mention Pixar's "Story Spine", but the main loop in Pixar's story template is "...and because of that..." looping over and over between the introduction, call to adventure, and conclusion.
Causality is what strings a story together, gives it structure an avoids it being just a disconnected dream sequence. This scene is only happening because of the events in the prior scenes. It gives the string of scenes meaning and relevance.
So good fun to drill some of that stuff with the team and end up with sheep infestations and santa claus robot wars among other laughs.
Gonna miss next week's session due to a prior engagement, but the team is gelling well. Pretty sure we could do this show without much further guidance really. Everyone's very good.

Apparently last week's improv class, which I missed, did indeed talk about a story spine, a template I first heard from a Pixar story course:
Once upon a time there was... And every day they would.. Until one day... And because of that... (repeat 'because' till end)...
And this week was concentrating mostly on the first bits: Playing out some scenes introducing characters, setting up their normal routine.
The nature of improv can be tricky here. Things spiral out of control quite fast. Things start happening immediately, without time to build that normal routine which you then break.
Take for instance the scene tonight at an airport. Lady rushes in: "Get me on a place as far away from here as possible, right now".
Its a great offer, but hardly a normal routine for a person. Can you really have a person whose daily routine is to fly to the furthest place they can get to immediately?
Perhaps a flashback to their normal routine then? Or perhaps make the staff the protagonist and their daily routine is to deal with crazy customers.
Character is key in the early scenes of a narrative really. Get the audience to identify with a protagonist. Who are these people, how do they know each other and what's their normal life like?
