New favourite eyeliner - Make Up For Ever Artist Color[sic] Pencil in 100-WhateverBlack Matte.
The Toronto Pro Loft is only open 10-5 weekdays (10-6 on Thursday) though! Would be a tight squeeze to rush there after work, but it's super close to Wellesley subway station. Might be doable.

It sure would be nice if one of these 3 busses was to actually drive the route, instead of lollygaggin at the station together. 20 minutes late on a 15 minute headway route and counting. Now the schedule says a pile of em are going to arrive within 4 minutes of each other. Assuming they actually get underway.

Finally put together type stubs for an old (last release 2017!) python library I've been depending on for years. And now wondering whether it would have been easier to just contribute types to the library directly. I thought it abandoned but then the maintainer responded up on an unrelated ticket.
(Though there's no CI infra actually working anymore. Makes testing contributions painful. Wonder whether building that first would be worthwhile & welcome...)

What actually is the mastodon upgrade path across minor releases, like v4.3.18 -> v4.5.6? The release notes generally mention only upgrades from the most recent patch release in the same minor (vA.B.n-1 -> vA.B.n). Are huge jumps safe, assuming the new minimum requirements are met? Are backwards-time forward-version (eg v4.3.18 -> v4.4.0) upgrades invalid? Are all intervening database migrations handled automatically at service startup? Any gotchas?

Did you clone a large amount of git repos? Is ~/workspace/ a giant mess? Need to declutter?
If a remote exists and all branches have been pushed (or merged), and you trust the git host to stay up, maybe we don't need to keep the local copy.
Or if there's local branch refs for commits that have never been pushed, maybe they should be.

What technique / tools are you using in CI to make sure that tests actually ran?
Misconfigurations can often result in huge swaths of test discovery failing silently, leaving a test run in CI including zero (or a very small number of) tests.
Are you relying on code coverage stats collected during test runs, and comparing that to some static fail_under percentage? If source discovery breaks, can 1 passing test be 100% coverage? Do you trust it?
