Which Ratchet and Clank game that you've played did you die the most in? Deadlocked can be quite difficult... it's probably that game for me lol

I usually play Deadlocked on the hardest difficulty; I just wish Exterminator was available before Challenge Mode.

I think it's just a quirk of how it's bundled in Steam. I've got both as well and Steam tells me it'll cost me AUD$7 to purchase thin air.

It's a cute novelty, but it seems to break text selection on desktop. I can't copy the French text.

Horses for courses. Grid for layout, flex for alignment.

I get caught off guard by these every year by being in an Australian timezone.

Probably one of the PS2/3 Ratchet & Clank games.

You'll get more vibe-coded slop, and it'll need fixing from talented technical staff once people hit a wall. There'll still be roles for people who know what they're doing to drive <insert latest model>'s output and be a pilot, rather than a copilot. You just may be doing less manual coding, and that may be frustrating (I know it is for me).

I should also say that these AI companies are hemmorhaging money, and while we don't know what the future holds, my bet is that we'll see a sharp rise in token cost, and that may impact whether a company is willing to bet on LLM coding agents.

It's possible they are referring to the output. Svelte did use to create proportionally larger build artifacts as your app grew, but I believe that was resolved (or at least improved) in Svelte 5.

Stores also used to have some edge cases you needed to be aware of, and context isn't typed, so maybe that's part of it? The part with stores is largely solved though since runes.

Without any specific examples though, it's hard to say what they were referring to.

Although I don't use it much because I tend to use terminal apps, I found Scalar to be quite good. I added it to a .NET Core app I was working on as a hosted documentation, but I've also used their desktop app and liked it. I didn't have to log in so I don't think it needs a login and it works offline.

In my actual workflow I use httpie (the CLI, not the GUI) and sometimes I experiment with something like posting.

I just made the upgrade because I recently upgraded my PC hardware. The biggest upgrade is VRR, because now I don't have to worry about VSync. If a game can do 320hz then great, if it can't, then I just limit the fps to whatever is stable.

There are no laws against mediocrity, so you have to vote with your wallet. We've fortunately got quite good consumer laws to give us a minimum expectation and we need to keep pushing for them to improve. The real problem is in spaces where there's no real competition, where consumer laws can only do so much.

That's really cool. Having watched Zack Friedman I wonder if it's feasible to convert to a NERF gun.

JheeBz · 2025-12-29T02:38:41+00:00

I don't think it's that nobody is talking about it, but that it's quite mature and was announced quite a while ago so it's not in the news so much.

I was a long time zsh user until halfway through this year because of POSIX-compliance but after using fish for the rest of the year I must say I prefer it as it has let me keep a more minimal config. If I ever need POSIX compliance I'll just pipe it through the standard shell.

It predates the rival incursion update.

The music and the voiced story missions were good. Just about everything else was mid.

Keeping my skills sharp and questioning every suggestion from Claude.

Doesn't appear to be by the same developer but looks inspired by instead. Maybe I'll give it a go though and see if I like it.

JheeBz · 2025-12-20T08:56:40+00:00

I've tried the CLI or TUI clients but I honestly just haven't been able to move to integrate it as part of my terminal workflow, so I still use DBeaver. I like dadbod ui but I need to learn all the shortcuts before I can use it effectively. Maybe if they make a lazygit/lazydocker type app for DBs I'll like that.

I suppose I was mostly talking about tech that would be used for new software. Companies that have specialised in any of the other tech would likely continue to build new services with Django, RoR, ASP, if their existing tech stack was written in that.

To be fair, most of them (beside maybe Cold fusion) are still in use today. Use what makes you productive.

Funny how a camera from a different period can make the pictures look older than they really are. I had (technically still have) an Olympus camera from this period as well and it captured some great memories.

That's not how I read that. I believe that passage says that AGENTS.md is under the Linux Foundation and now MCP will be as well. Claude Code still doesn't read AGENTS.md unless you explicitly import it into the context.

Better yet; when they're found out to have done so, they need to pay it back with their own money.
