I suspect the first case worked as intended, and VS Code is greasing the wheels. I'm sure there's a way to get it working in iTerm 2, though I wouldn't be surprised if the solution…

I wasn't alive in the 70s, but I still prefer a terminal. I can string together a complex series of text-related tasks far more effectively as a shell pipeline than I can by pointi…

But can you paste an image into it? I have a similar setup, but I access it directly via iTerm2 instead of VS Code's terminal. I've figured out the right terminal settings to get c…

I don't think it's factually correct. There are context pruning strategies that will prune old messages that are no longer relevant, and context compaction from summaries, etc. But…

IIRC Anthropic's API produces cryptographic signatures for thinking blocks. If you try to submit a set of messages that include thinking blocks with missing/invalid signatures, it'…

Yes. More than a few times. It however is not really designed to operate as a secure sandbox environment. https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-68668 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/…

I generally ask for 150% - usually on the expectation that it’ll make the non-compete go away. It’s not at all a ridiculous ask, either. I’ve made a career out of going after high-…

Disclosure: I'm an engineer at LangChain, primarily focused on LangGraph. I'm new to the team, though - and I'd really like to understand your perspective a bit better. If we're gr…

A lot of the other responses here are too complicated and specific. Here's my attempt to put it into easier-to-digest terms: In a traditional web stack you have a backend and a fro…

Amazon is becoming more and more like AliExpress with respect to product accuracy and quality. As an example, I recently bought tomato seeds for my garden. I searched for rainbow t…

Thanks to cumulative windowing, it does have a dropped packet signal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_Control_Protocol#...

To be clear I was speaking in terms of likelihood, not extremes. I personally feel I derive a benefit from identifying myself online, but YMMV. Also I really hope I didn't give the…

FWIW, most of what you're saying here is my rationale for the first half of the sentence you quoted. Specifically, there are times when it makes sense to speak up, and being able t…

I don't disagree that anonymity offers protection against situations like this, but bear in mind that anonymity is very much a factor in the lack of civil discourse online. I'm not…

I agree that those who participate in a process like this shouldn't circumvent its rules -- that just makes the whole problem much more difficult to manage. However, I think you co…

I strongly agree that this is true in a lot of cases, and the ahead-of-time rationalization of limiting liability helps to perpetuate the lack of necessity of a clear, defensible r…

I recommend starting w/ Gary Bernhardt's excellent "Tar Pipe" blog post. https://web.archive.org/web/20161227222637/http://blog.extra... From there, move on to using the shell as y…

I assume there must be some way to rotate the mirror? Maybe I'm crazy, but I can't seem to figure it out. Edit: Seems it's mobile only, or the mouse drag event handling is masking …

Nice work! I'd be curious to see a comparison w/ RabbitMQ's MQTT extension. By any chance have you done such a comparison? Also I assume the comparisons are done at QOS level 0?

I've downvoted you because I feel the tone of this comment has upended what could have been a constructive, well-thought conversation and turned it into somewhat of a shouting matc…

As the GP alludes to, the key insight to becoming productive in VIM is the power of the movement system. To (mis)quote Gary Bernhardt, the slowest thing you can do is read somethin…
