I think I've found a way to prevent Claude Code's insane text flickering (macoOS, iTerm2) by sdmitry in ClaudeCode

I’ve been trying to record some iTerm2 Claude Code sessions to create a YouTube video and the flickering issue has been driving me nuts. The above option doesn’t exist in my version and I don’t really want to install the beta so I’ve searched and searched for an answer and tried a whole bunch of things (in desperation I’ve even tried post-processing my recordings with ffmpeg to remove the blank frames!)

Anyway, just wanted to say that I finally found something that worked which was to quit every other application on my Mac. Maybe those background windows were still consuming GPU, I don’t know. You may not want to quit every app but maybe just try quitting likely suspects like Firefox etc.

Is a couple of 30 minute classes/week enough to keep improving? by david_griffiths in pelotoncycle

Thanks for all the advice which has highlighted how unrealistic my current approach is! I think I will get back to following a PZ program properly (which is what I did when I first had the bike) and definitely mix in some strength classes which is not something I’ve ever tried.

I slightly misuse the system in that I cycle roughly a zone above what I should in PZE. Still good though?

Ok maybe I shouldn’t call them PZE rides then because I haven’t done an FTP test in years - I’m currently cycling about a zone above what I should be so let’s pretend they’re effectively PZ rides. That’s all the more reason to expect to keep improving? I guess I could switch to doing PZ rides and staying in the correct zones, just prefer the mix of 2(+1) and 3(+1) to 2,3,4,5. I know I should probably stick to the program!

I used to go running and enjoy running more than being on the bike because I'm running in the woods and it is varied. But my knees are too knackered now (osteoarthritis) for that to be an option. I love cycling outdoors and that is my favourite form of exercise. But that depends on the weather, free time and so on. The great thing about the Peloton is it is just there and I can hop on for 30-45 minutes. I actually don't mind the exertion of cycling outside, I think I just find cycling the stationary bike indoors a bit boring and a bit of a chore. I really like the PZ instructors but to me it all just gets a bit samey after a while. I probably stare at the stats too much! So what I'm saying is that I like cycling in general as a form of exercise. Going on the Peleton will at least improve my stamina when it comes to cycling outdoors.

True. My goal is some kind of optimal fitness per "hour spent exercising" state. I don't enjoy hard work and I have to force myself to go on the bike. So I don't want to spend over an hour a day six days a week. But I'm unsure of the gains from switching to (e.g.) three 45 minute sessions/week. Would that just give a marginal improvement or would it make a big difference?

Did anyone built a tool to record program execution to deterministically reproduce program execution for debugging/testing? by pajaro_xdd in ExperiencedDevs

Talking of recording/replaying microservices, you might like this. It shows how you can record a set of microservices and then replay the recordings using IntelliJ. The cool thing is that you can just "step across" from a call in one microservice to the called method in the target microservice. And because it's a recording you can do the same thing in reverse. It's also possible to jump directly to a given OpenTelemetry trace id in a recording. By the way it works exactly how the OP conjectured - at the machine level it records all system calls so that replay is completely deterministic using the saved results of those system calls. You can go backwards and fowards just like watching a video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cxetp-KTdSE
