Ask HN: What most annoying software problem you've recently faced?

4 pointsby caballetoabout 5 years ago
I'll start with myself. Recently, I have tried to use Forestry.io to set up a personal blog, but discovered that they don't support out-of-box deploy to GitHub Pages, so I had to go with a bash script to build hugo blog and deploy to my github repo. Still find editing conf files easier than those fancy UIs.

Some badly written software will ignore nsswitch.conf(5) [0] and query the DNS instead of looking up in the hosts(5) file for some hosts that are designed there (redis).<p>sort(1)&#x27;s `-un` will truncate and delete input if it&#x27;s not purely numerical [1].<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;git.sr.ht&#x2F;~moviuro&#x2F;moviuro.bin&#x2F;commit&#x2F;d9cdf0556bb005e6b00b193259a6056e59df4d2c" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;git.sr.ht&#x2F;~moviuro&#x2F;moviuro.bin&#x2F;commit&#x2F;d9cdf0556bb005...</a><p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;git.sr.ht&#x2F;~moviuro&#x2F;moviuro.bin&#x2F;commit&#x2F;0c83ac72d9179842aae1087566dd8a35913120c4" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;git.sr.ht&#x2F;~moviuro&#x2F;moviuro.bin&#x2F;commit&#x2F;0c83ac72d91798...</a>

I wanted to set up a rather niche SDK which involved building and configuring it use a native gcc toolchain, which slightly differs depending on the gcc version you have.<p>Well unfortunately, they cant be bothered to update their docs, which only have instructions for gcc 4.x and 5. I have gcc 8 and 9 on my system and couldn&#x27;t manage to figure out how to configure it and their irc support channel is basically dead. They do have a mailing list, but I hate mailing lists.<p>Of course the 1st version of this SDK was windows only, and the legacy of that ksbpainfully visible. The default config has the toolchain specified as VS2015, iirc.
