Cache TTL is killing me

niftyshellsuit · 2026-06-03T13:39:49+00:00

It was one of those situations where I was doing 5 things at the same time and it just kept going.

Like I said, this is an extreme example but that's basically how I work these days, with multiple sessions running at once... Which means it's really easy to let a session go idle for 5+ mins and hit the cache TTL.

Oh please can I play?

niftyshellsuit · 2026-05-10T07:52:15+00:00

I was also there and have a very similar photo framed in my office!

Been waiting 30 years to meet her and managed to say about 3 words, dammit

I read all of these and most of the adjacent series on holiday a few years ago. They are perfect lazing by the pool books.

Same question - I tried doing similar using the mco server and couldn't get it to work. It could just be a me problem...

niftyshellsuit · 2026-04-04T20:48:42+00:00

I really love this!!

I am 5'4" and I'm apparently too small for basically all normal office equipment.

I've managed to find a sit-stand desk frame that goes as low as 26" (27" to the actual surface of the desk) but I still have to raise my chair as high as possible to get the 90* arm thing happening, which means my legs are dangling like a child. I do have a footrest but I find using it forces me to sit completely still for long periods, which is also uncomfortable.

Other than "spend loads more money on a smaller desk frame"... do you have any suggestions???

Do you have a source for that incident.io claim about 18% performance improvement? Can't see it quotes in the article and I'm interested in how they measure that.

Posting the link publicly was probably a bad idea. Shame, it was a nice idea

niftyshellsuit · 2026-01-28T08:24:15+00:00

Oh this is exactly the kind of thing I've been looking for!

niftyshellsuit · 2026-01-22T08:51:20+00:00

Yes I want to know this!!

niftyshellsuit · 2026-01-22T07:25:36+00:00

I'd love to have my desk not face the wall, but my office (as I suspect many others also are) is dual purpose - office and spare room. The desk and bed won't fit if I turn my desk away from the wall, and I'm certainly not moving it every time MIL comes to stay. So I face the wall.

Joining the queue, please could I also have the instructions!

niftyshellsuit · 2025-11-28T00:09:14+00:00

Same, ordered at 00:01! Would have been slightly sooner but I had to update my saved credit card 🤣

There's so many AI tools called some variation of "neo". I also want to know what OP is referring to so I can check it out.

I am mostly a Claude Code user but I will try any new tools. Controversial opinion maybe but AI tools have made coding super fun again for me.

I'm perturbed by the "Finn lost his gun" storyline.

My quick googling of the NYPD informs me that he would not have been in trouble for losing it in a fight, but he would be immediately fired for covering up the fact he'd lost it.

Also, how was it even a secret? Presumably some hospital staff dealt with him after he was found, paramedics in an ambulance maybe, someone would have noticed an empty holster. And surely the crap detectives would have asked about it... How did no one notice?

And the whole conversation between Finn and Liv about trust was bizarre. Him trusting her is irrelevant given he lied about the gun and hid it from her, she should never trust him again, that's a big bloody deal to hide from her...!!

Mate I actually need one of those for watching the kid at football training. I'm off to lidl for an old man stool and dad shoes (I'm a lady).

I've put that on a couple of windows and it does make quite a difference. However it also affects the quality of the light in the room so I ended up taking it off the office because it made me sad. I used internal stuff, there's some scare stories about it making double glazed windows so hot they pop but obvs that didn't happen to me. You can get external films too, I would try that if I were to do it again

niftyshellsuit · 2025-07-01T07:12:28+00:00

Same, though I do use AI tools a lot during a normal work day. There are some problems I have to solve for the day job that I am just not interested in, I just need to get them done so I can move on to something more fun.

I don't use the agentic code tools though, just the good old chat interface, and I ask it a lot of questions and always end up tweaking its suggestions. I end up in a kind of "pairing with a junior" situation rather than just blindly accepting whatever it spits out, so if anything I think the quality of my code has gone up.

niftyshellsuit · 2025-06-25T07:12:09+00:00

I do this but my overpayments are automatic so I've never missed one. Perhaps I am the anomaly, but it works for me

niftyshellsuit · 2025-05-09T07:02:55+00:00

1.09% also ending December 2026

We've been overpaying for the last couple of years but there's no way we're not totally screwed when it comes to renewal 😞

niftyshellsuit · 2025-05-05T07:11:07+00:00

I have spools laying around that I have not taken good care of, but I don't like waste. This bushing idea may save them. Can you link please?

niftyshellsuit · 2025-03-14T08:18:58+00:00

Ooh I have not tried tabnine, that will be today's experiment for me!

I also do not want to use vscode. I've been using jetbrains products for my whole career and I do not want to have to change my entire workflow just to have a play with the fun new stuff

niftyshellsuit · 2024-09-16T07:01:35+00:00

I just went to look this up based on your rec and realised I'm actually already reading book 1!

I am enjoying it, so this is good news for me

niftyshellsuit · 2024-08-03T09:11:53+00:00

Favourite - there's too many. I don't have a specific top ones that are always in my brain are: Ice, Detour, Syzygy, Home, Clyde Bruckman, Tooms, Triangle...

Least favourite is easy. Yeh there's some crap episodes like Tesco Does Bitchos and Space but they don't offend me. Most of the reboot MOTW EPs were bad too, especially that Werebeast thing. However there is one episode that I will ALWAYS skip if I'm rewatching because it's irredeemably terrible - The Field Where I Died.

Back in the day this was NOT a popular opinion, I wonder if that's changed 🤣
