I wonder if the parent comments remark is a communication failure or pedantry gone wrong, because like you, claude-code is out there solving real problems and finding and fixing defects. A large quantity of bugs as raised are now fixed by c

Asking it what its knowledge cut-off is interesting, it doesn't seem to be consistent even within a single response. Sometimes it responds to say it cuts off 2020 too. You What is your knowledge cut-off? Jimmy My kno

The trouble is, this reads like "Just don't be depressed", since this is almost effectively a list of (anti-) symptoms of depression.

This entire article is in Claude's voice too, so I guess the author keeps choosing Claude for their blog writing too. I'd rather read 2 short paragraphs of the authors' original ideas than the neatly presented expansion into

I thought this response was a piss-take, but it's actually OP. I have nothing against AI-coded projects, but please do the bare minimum of filtering when interacting with people. It feels weird to be talking direct to LLM.

I'm probably not the target audience, but it's an intriguing idea for a product. However you have no privacy policy or about page. I don't think I'd want to use a remote tool without one, otherwise how do I know you&#x27

A foot-long sub is not "just a sandwich", it's a meal for 2. Secondly, I can't see how you can get to 1320 calories for a footlong italian going by this: https://www.subway.com/en-gb/-/media&#x2

What kind of sandwiches are you eating? 800 calories is a ridiculously large sandwich. Even Tesco's bacon & egg triple is only 550 : https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/260422235 I'm

Yes, those permissions stick with the project in the settings file. I'd like those same permissions, but configurable per-session / context.

Yes, this is why I generally still use "ask for permission" prompts. As tedious as it is a lot of the time ( And I wish there was an in-between "allow this session" not just allow once or "allow all" ), it&#x27

As much as I used to love Sublime, the version switching caught me out which burned me a bit, even if admittedly my v2 key lasted an unreasonable time through the version 3 beta, but I don't want to risk buying a v4 key without a clear

Wow that's a hit of nostalgia, I'd completely forgotten about metapad, but I loved it back in the day. And it's hard to believe now, but yes, support for Ctrl+S to save file was a notable feature because notepad itself didn

If you're going through the hassle of dropping DST, why not settle on BST as the permanent timezone if that's what the preference is for hours of daylight? Asking an entire culture to change from 09:00-17:30 to 08:00-16:30 seems a

by xnorswap 9mo ago
Because society and culture doesn't work like that. You can't will a culture of closing up at 4pm during GMT and 5pm during BST. That's just even more confusing.

I was specifically thinking of the "Metric Martyrs" who were jailed over refusing to display weights and measures in metric. The law requiring metric didn't actually come into force until 2000, these cases were early 2000s. N

It's worth noting that technically London uses GMT for 5 months and BST for 7 months. The GMT offset is zero, but it's important to note the difference especially when configuring servers to avoid nasty daylight savings surprises

That could do more harm than good. Like how California's bylaw about cancer warnings are useless because it makes it look like everything is known to the state of California to cause cancer, which in turn makes people just ignore and

An interesting article and it was refreshing to read something that had absolutely no hallmarks of LLM retouching or writing. It contains a helpful insight that there are multiple modes in which to approach LLMs, and that helps explain the

.NET devs being among the worst paid? Seniors earning barely more than regular devs? Yeah, that feels about right to this UK-based senior .NET developer.

This is great news. There used to be a handy email newsletter that did this, but then when everything became "apps" the newsletter disappeared in favour of an app, which then became a premium paid service only.
