Likely, but you did not let poor code pass. That is valuable.
- Comment on "US Person": is a red flag for financial institutions in Europe 1 week ago:
They can do anything they want. That is just something they don’t want to do. Again, 🤮
- Comment on "US Person": is a red flag for financial institutions in Europe 1 week ago:
Google FATCA, the US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act.
Anyone anywhere in the world that is either US citizen, or a green card holder, or in other ways related to Murica, must pay US taxes. It’s insane, but the US tax system is powerful enough to bully all other countries into compliance.
Don’t get me started. 🤮

I hate products with generic names. It makes it utterly impossible to search for.
Even if this OP post might explain it, it is still useless when taken out of context like in the esteemed comment above this one.
/rant, sorry, thank you.

And is this stolen robot body in the room with you now?

Hah, yes that’s also how I remember my childhood. But I never was good at it, though I became a good software project manager instead which works well for me using Claude now. I count that as a win.

Hey friend, don’t undersell yourself. You do possess the intelligence, but maybe just not the skills.

Yeah but we pay way less for housing and health.
- Comment on Question: Is there a Self Hosted Discord like app? 5 weeks ago:
You se knowledgeable on this, so I hope you’ll allow me to ask this.
I don’t know anything about Discord, but I selfhost the Mattermost chat system for my family. They, too, are narrowing the free tier.
Can Matrix replace Mattermost for a family? Several separate “rooms” for various topics, plus 1-to-1 chats.

So much this. If you’re in a hole, a big focus is to just get through the day. Every day you continue to exist, is a wonderful middle finger to the void. If a day is easy, then a week. This is progress worth celebrating. Celebrate yourself and your continued victory over the things that unsuccessfully tried to hold you back.

In that case, get out where people are. Best situation is to join a sports team or some other club based around an activity.
Perhaps you have some hobby or interest that you always wanted to do something about. Now is the time.
Or flip it upside down: check in your area (library? local newspaper?) to see what is going on in your area. Maybe somethings tickles your interest? If in doubt, check it out.

This release also brings you […] a new font face (“The-name-must-not-be-named” Sans) that improves reading legibility, especially for numbers and smaller text
What’s the story about that font name? I’m out of the loop.
- Comment on If WWIII broke out tomorrow do you honestly believe america would win? 1 month ago:
Yes, we are.
The only good thing about it is that it isn’t the alternative: total nuclear annihilation. (Some days I wonder if that would be better)
- Comment on The productivity paradox of AI coding assistants 1 month ago:
I see myself as a project manager and executive producer. I know I don’t write that code, and I couldn’t even if I tried.
But I am skilled at directing and verifying, and this has allowed me to create (not code) a fairly complex WordPress plugin for course bookings with online card payment processing etc.
I have made a few manual tweaks here and there but that code is 98% Claude. And you know what? It works. That is good enough for me.

Unpopular opinion: LCARS is utter garbage UI.
Sure it looks cool in the TV series, and its brand recognition is spectacular. But actually using it? Horrible.
- Comment on There aren't any ancient ruins with crazy traps and riddles 2 months ago:
There was one! Look up Forrest Fenn - the podcast *Cautionary Tales has a double feature about it (S6E44-45). True riddles, and treasure hunts, and some deaths despite no traps being set.

- Comment on Stack Overflow in freefall: 78 percent drop in number of questions 2 months ago:
Also depends on how you phrase the question to the LLM, and whether it har access to source files.
A web chat session can’t do a lot, but an interactive shell like Claude Code is amazing - if you know how to work it.

- Comment on Selfhosting with a seven year old 2 months ago:
This is confusing. So, Luanti is basically a clone of Minecraft? The docs say how to download the basic platform, and then to download any game.
But where do you start? There’s no recommended or default game or world?

- Comment on When washing, should I turn garments inside out? 3 months ago:
Recent studies by consumer organisations indicate that washing at “cold” is just as effective as higher temperatures, for everyday clothing. But it saves a ton of energy and is a lot cheaper.

- Comment on How many virtual machines can you nest? 3 months ago:
I’m thinking what if you created a Docker container that contained just Docker. Then you could run that container within itself, recursively. Much easier than starting from zero at every level.
