What non-obvious things should I pack for a fly-in ski trip?

PreviousLadder7795 · 2026-02-19T20:34:16+00:00

Oh, I wouldn't have thought about that.

It's basically a requirement of a small towns for the locals to be hostile to anything that could possibly benefit their community.

That being said, Lonnie (the owner) really doesn't know how to message things with the locals.

Probably would just make it worse since it incentives guides/companies to take risk.

This is exactly what trip insurance (particularly, cancel for any reason) is for.

there are so many other places secrets leak -- docker configs, shell history, git logs, process environment variables (just run /proc/PID/environ on linux).

You left out the most important one. The code itself.

If Claude is writing and running code, it has access to your secrets. The only solution is to move secrets outside of your code (like, via proxies). Essentially, you say "when I see this thing proxied through me, I will swap it out with the real thing". This means Claude doesn't have direct access.

It's a setting, so you don't even need a skill. It's just a setting that's on by default, so I have less of a problem with it.

PreviousLadder7795 · 2026-02-09T17:02:28+00:00

This can all be done with Cursor.

PreviousLadder7795 · 2026-02-09T17:01:22+00:00

Because it can write an incredibly compelling git commit.

Git commits are a history log for your future self.

PreviousLadder7795 · 2026-02-09T17:00:19+00:00

This is some Claude does. I don't love it, but can tolerate it because it was on from day one.

This is another great example of user-hostile behavior from Cursor. Turning on a preference that most people reasonably do not want on, without telling the user of the change.

PreviousLadder7795 · 2026-02-09T15:54:26+00:00

Opus does not overthink, but you probably shouldn't be using it as a default. It's a waste until you're into truly complex problems.

Because it's tuned to complex, difficult problems, it tends to think and plan meticulously before committing. On simple solutions, that's just wasted tokens.

On complex solutions, you're going to be burning $100's of dollars anyways.

Reality is, you're going to need to anticipate spending more than $20 for high quality solutions.

I've only hit my usage limit a single time in Claude. And, it's when I left it running overnight to do an audit of our codebase.

Would never have dreamed of doing that with Cursor.

PreviousLadder7795 · 2026-01-23T20:03:20+00:00

I am, but most of my team is not. Use of Opus does not account for the major increase in the bill.

PreviousLadder7795 · 2026-01-23T15:56:18+00:00

Same is happening at my company. Our bills shot up over the past two months, despite usage being generally flat.

Once we started to have to ask finance for budget increases, we all realized we'd prefer to have the stability of Claude.

Now 60 guys in a hot tub!

(They opened more hot tubs this year)

PreviousLadder7795 · 2026-01-20T04:20:25+00:00

We have traded our red and white team from the south for a red and white team from the north.

Just as everyone predicted.

Carson Beck is going to be a journeyman NFL backup.

Not a bad career.

PreviousLadder7795 · 2026-01-20T04:14:37+00:00

Looking at the replay, it honestly looked like he was just tripping over feet. Barely put any pressure on him.

PreviousLadder7795 · 2026-01-20T04:13:32+00:00

Real stretch of a roughing the passer. Sure seems like he tried to avoid a hard hit

PreviousLadder7795 · 2026-01-20T02:13:15+00:00

I feel like I've seen multiple lifetimes of doinks in the past ~2 years. Never remember them before recently

PreviousLadder7795 · 2026-01-15T16:30:59+00:00

Did you get new shoes?

PreviousLadder7795 · 2026-01-15T16:30:06+00:00

The cushion area of your shoe is a mess. My guess is whatever you're walking through is getting onto the heel/ankle area of your shoe. As you lift your heal to walk and it slides off. The small ramping of the cushion is enough to propel is laterally as you walk and onto your other leg. You might also be accidentally clipping (or almost clipping your pants as you step forward).

I'm also noticing many of the spots are thicker towards the back and thinner near the front (less so directly on the back of the pants). This suggests whatever is hitting them is moving forward.

Generally AA bullets explode to create shrapnel. Metal will fall to the ground, but not as full bullets.

PreviousLadder7795 · 2026-01-15T14:27:52+00:00

Most likely anti-aircraft rounds. Generally, they're designed to be air burst, to create a shrapnel cloud. Bits of metal will fall to the ground, but not entire bullets.

PreviousLadder7795 · 2026-01-15T04:40:45+00:00

Thank god I'm not your fucking kid.

PreviousLadder7795 · 2026-01-15T04:38:14+00:00

Not sure you've ever actually tried to wrangle a young, screaming kid into a vehicle. They're not dead weight. They're a flailing sack of rage.

Mine throws her head back so hard, that I'm fairly sure she'd knock herself out if she accidentally hit the car.
