    Early on in my career I’ve wasted time on projects implementing the wrong thing a few times so ever since I clarify to a fault even if it doesn’t sound weird. If something can be interpreted multiple ways I always ask for clarification even if one interpretation is “more popular”. I’d rather spend 5 minutes asking for clarification than waste a week of everyone’s time.

    Since then I don’t think I’ve ever implemented something “wrong”. There might be miscommunications in other parts of the communication chain but never with me.

    Hello. Welcome to my mini rant aboot leeks, green onion, garlic chives and negi. These four common ingredients (common depending on where you are in the world) are so offen confused for one another in naming or looks.

    In terms of taste, green onion and negi taste pretty much the same. The main difference is that negi is larger. Green onion, leek and garlic chives taste nothing alike so it would be pretty bad to confuse one for the other in cooking.

    In terms of how they look, negi and leek can look similar. However the green part of leek is flat while they are cylindrical for negi. Negi also tends to have a longer white part.

    Garlic chives, often mistakenly called leeks, look and taste nothing like leek. They are pretty small, each is a bit smaller than a green onion. They can be commonly identified by their flat leaves. Garlic chives are sometimes called chinese leek or just leek for short which contributes to the confusion.

    Meanwhile negi is sometimes depicted in japanese media (eg. The Pokemon Farfetch’d is often depicted holding negi) then mistakenly identified as leek by the west.

    The general rule is that leeks are actually pretty uncommon in China and Japan, so if you see leek mentioned in chinese or japanese anything, triple check that they are actually referring to leek and not negi or garlic chives.

    Also the popular leek spin gif depicts negi and not leek. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

    Looks like on lemmy.zip for some reason requesting anything above page 10 results in a “couldnt_get_posts” error however this doesn’t occur on any other instance I’ve tested. The reason why other apps and web isn’t affected is because they use cursor based pagination, instead of page index. The reason why Summit doesn’t do this is because some features are simply easier using an index and also because Lemmy is very inconsistent about pagination. Some things are parginated with page indexes only so page indexes is the common ground for all pagination. Since Summit uses the same code for all pagination, not just posts (eg. for saved posts, search results, etc) it was simply easier to write it once using page index and not have to write two versions.

    I can look into write a 2nd version that uses cursors in the new year as unfortunately it is a pretty big change and I should be taking a break at the moment.

    500 errors are typically not caused by the client but instead indicate a server issue. Also, the new update only changes the default user agent. If you have changed the user agent manually via Misc > User agent in settings then this update will not change anything. You can try out changing the user agent yourself to a different one to see if it fixes the issue.
