- matltcThis threw me so hard when I grabbed a cheap laptop from Costco with win11 pre installed. I was saving files to c:/users/me/desktop and then when I opened Desktop in File Explorer, my shit was gone.
- That's what you get for running Microsloth Windoze
Seriously though, don't get why anyone would voluntarily use, let alone purchase, any windows distro.
- I am a drummer. One of the most important lessons I learned and passed onto my students is one I learned from Joe Morello (GOAT imo): tension should never be present in your playing. Counterintuitive because if you're playing a fast or difficult part, the natural inclination is to try harder. The correct way to try harder is to practice with intention, not push your body past its limits. The ability will follow.
- Had a shower thought about how much I am starting to dislike vscode now that every minor version just loads on unwanted copilot cruft instead of adding actual features. Grabbed nvim that night.
- Nice. Do you use Prolog much today? If so, when do you reach for it?
- Hah. Found this book back at my dad's this past winter: https://imgur.com/a/CyG1E2P
Had never heard of it before, and this is first I'm hearing of it since.
Also had other cool old shit, like CIB copies of Borland Turbo Pascal 6.0, old Maxis games, Windows 3.1
- I don't think NASDAQ is technically in correction territory yet; I believe that would mean it's down 10% from its high
- Agreed. Was looking around for STL files so I could print a ruby and put it on my desk.
Glad to see it's getting love on here recently.
- Thanks for this. Trying to follow along but modern compilers and cpus seem to modify the disassembly in a way that makes it tough to follow along. Tried throwing a bunch of flags at gcc but still getting some diffs. Had this issue when I was working with an older C book as well.
Maybe Godbolt has some way to emulate this better
- I picked up C for fun last year and this is exactly the flags I have always used by default. Can't remember where I picked that up, but glad to hear I'm doing it right
- Love Ruby. Wish I could use it more often. Always end up reaching for Python in day-to-day because of how mature and well-docunented the libs are.
Anyone who likes this kind of stuff, highly recommend Metaprogramming Ruby [2] by Paolo Perrota. Great look into Ruby innards and inspiring code examples. Gets me pumped
- $100 says this guy has a Bluesky account
- Chrome does
- I think we all need to see this right now.
- Lichess defaults starting rating to 1400 I think so it's about -200 less than chess.com, which defaults to 1200.
Also the player pool for the latter is much larger. Not sure if that has an impact on elo which is basically normalized across playerbase
- Network solutions... Where have I heard that name before?
- You on latest version? Try running /update hook. Can also config autoupdates
- I use gh copilot suggest in lieu of claude -p. Two seconds latency and highly accurate. You probably need a gh copilot auth token to do this though, and truthfully, that is pointless when you have access to Claude code.
- How does one configure Claude code to delegate to cheaper models?
I have a number of agents in ~/.claude/agents/. Currently have most set to `model: sonnet` but some are on haiku.
The agents are given very specific instructions and names that define what they do, like `feature-implementation-planner` and `feature-implementer`. My (naive) approach is to use higher-cost models to plan and ideally hand off to a sub-agent that uses a lower-cost model to implement, then use a higher-cost to code review.
I am either not noticing the handoffs, or they are not happening unless specifically instructed. I even have a `claude-help` agent, and I asked it how to pipe/delegate tasks to subagents as you're describing, and it answered that it ought to detect it automatically. I tested it and asked it to report if any such handoffs were detected and made, and it failed on both counts, even having that initial question in its context!
- Eh, they're not that high if you look back to the era of stagflation:
