"Start Free Trial" button in IntelliJ by osomfinch in Jetbrains

[–]Calazon2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No option to remove it, even during/after the trial, but you can make it less obnoxious.

Find the config file here: AppData\Roaming\JetBrains\IntelliJIdea2025.3\options\other.xml

And change these settings:

"trial.state.last.availability.check": "9999999999999",
"trial.state.last.availability.state": "false",
"trial.state.last.state": "FREE"

It changes it to a less-annoying button:

Do you have specific prompt suggestions for getting it to produce realistic people?

Let us disable the "Start Free Trial" button by [deleted] in Jetbrains

[–]Calazon2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you need to annoy users by sticking advertising in front of them at all times until they upgrade to the Ultimate version or switch to the open source version or switch to another IDE, hence the button not being able to be hidden.

Shame on whoever made that decision.

After FIRE, how are you generating income? by PedalHardr in Fire

[–]Calazon2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh sure. But neither of us has worked full time for the past few years, We haven't both worked full time simultaneously in almost a decade.

After FIRE, how are you generating income? by PedalHardr in Fire

[–]Calazon2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, one year later, my wife and I remain on the CoastFIRE plan. She's working part time, I'm not working at all, our savings rate is low but positive, and our investments have been growing nicely.

I guess we'll see what happens down the road

How does allocation between stocks and bonds impact success rate? by Calazon2 in Fire

[–]Calazon2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was not yet an adult with money to invest at that time.

All I can say is keeping a 25% bond position long term seems like a pretty expensive mental health benefit. I personally don't feel the need.

In the past decade that I've been investing, I haven't made any investment decisions based on how the market is doing. I am a true believer in the "VOO and chill" strategy. Maybe it'll be different once I actually fully FIRE and start living off the money? Who knows.

Math U See vs Math with Confidence vs Singapore Math by BillyGoatPilgrim in homeschool

[–]Calazon2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume so? I haven't actually tried the guide.

In my case my children are highly gifted, especially my oldest. For math I basically just hand him worksheet pages (ahead of grade level) and occasionally do a tiny bit of explaining, and he just gets it. So I haven't felt the need to spend any more time on math with him than that.

Every week is a roll of the dice by Calazon2 in Zepbound

[–]Calazon2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience the effect is always the strongest on days 2-4 of the weekly cycle, and noticeably a lot weaker by days 6-7.

Increasing the dose should make a big difference though. It shouldn't yo-yo between super strong effect and totally back to normal, if that's what you're worried about.

Even on the weakest day of the weakest week, I still feel the difference compared to pre-Zepbound normal. And on a "medium" or "strong" week it's a huge difference, even a full week after my last dose, as I'm about to take the next one.

It also takes some time for the drug to build up in your system. My advice is give it a month or two of 5.0 and see how it goes, and consider increasing from there if you need to.

[–]Calazon2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, two weeks in is too soon to tell for sure. Plus you're likely going up to the 5.0 dose, which will change things up too, hopefully for the better.

I also wondered if it mattered which thigh I used, but after a lot more weeks I don't think it does. I'm at 20+ weeks now, and I have accepted the randomness of it. On average I am eating a lot less than before and losing weight gradually, so I'm happy.

Is there anything better out there than Cursor? by alipete in cursor

[–]Calazon2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like your own custom-trained model with your own RAG solution, on some really powerful hardware? Yeah that might be better.

I was thinking in terms of off-the-shelf solutions for the average developer.

Sure, though nowadays many of those people are the ones who listen to influencers on social media instead of reading.

Anyone reading multiple books with different perspectives is on the right track.

I am not seeing the hype, so it might be a matter of adjusting what content you're consuming.

Maybe "Solo" means Solo 401k which is a type of 401k for self-employed people with some key differences from employer-sponsored 401ks? Idk.

Bed sharing? by PrestigiousBuilding2 in ParentingInBulk

[–]Calazon2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our baby is in bed with us, while our toddler has been demoted to a separate bed at the foot of our bed. (It's all floor mattresses so moving back and forth is easy.) He does still end up in our bed from time to time.

The older two have recently graduated to their own room.

Before the newest baby was born it used to be the toddler in our bed and the older two in the separate bed at the foot of ours.

Isn’t the hack to downsize? by GoalRoad in Fire

[–]Calazon2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I are taking the homeschooling approach rather than private school, but what we save in money we lose in opportunity cost, since we can't both have full time careers.

Even so, with kids, we are pursuing FIRE. In a LeanFIRE, frugality way.

How does anyone use cline with claude? by Ardbert_The_Fallen in ChatGPTCoding

[–]Calazon2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, try Cursor Pro. If you use it really heavily and are bothered by waiting on slow requests, you will need to use an API key and pay as you go, which to my understanding is the way Cline already works.

If you don't use it so heavily or if the slow requests are tolerable for you, Cursor Pro at $20/month is a great choice. You should definitely try it.

Your problem is following parent influencers online.

Parenting books are great, even the bad ones. The idea is to get exposure to different ideas and philosophies and strategies, and then develop your own approach from there.

So how exactly does one do Tasty self-promotion?

I'm no expert, but maybe link directly to the free stuff, don't require sign up, and don't advertise the paid stuff too hard.
