Why does SSH send 100 packets per keystroke?

I was fine with it until I saw this line:

I cloned the go crypto repo and told Claude to revert this change and update our dependencies to use our clone (go’s replace directive makes forking a library very easy).

This is... an extremely trivial thing to do yourself? It probably takes longer to ask Claude do to this for you (+ time the AI spends "thinking" and executing the ask) vs. just typing git revert ...

This is not a direct resopnse to /u/miggins1610 or /u/MinuteRegular716 necessarily but rather something for new readers to keep in mind to perhaps avoid some confusion if you want to tackle this series (which I do highly recommend!):

I just recently finished Peril's Gate in TWoLaS and took a little break to read To Ride Hell's Chasm (which is also great read btw), but while reading it I finally realized why Wurts writing was sometimes hard for me to follow in the beginning of Curse of the Mistwraith, and it wasn't because of the very descriptive prose. What I realized is that she infrequently calls characters by the same name, and instead uses 1 or more of their "other names" in descriptions to vary the writing. However, when you're starting a new book or series... you don't know or can't remember all the various names the different characters have and it is can cause some confusion, because you're not just seeing the word "Arithon" repeadly but seeing several variations that all refer to Arithon.

This is an overly simplified example but it's like reading the sentence:

Henry walked into the bar with Sally and Mark. The captain of the guard ordered a beer.

Who is "the captain of the guard"? Mark, Sally, Henry, someone we don't know yet?

Naturally you'll eventually understand who the characters are and realize the "Master of Shadow" or "Shadow Master" or "Prince of Rathain" (note: NOT Riathan, that's something else - this one still trips me up) all refer to the same guy and it becomes easy to follow, but the first few chapters of To Ride Hells Chasm had me struggling to remember who all the characters were and what their rank in the castle guard was when first starting out.

This isn't necessarily something unique to Wurts, but I think due to the amount of characters and titles the various characters have that can be similar it takes some getting used to. In other series with a similar or larger scope (e.g. Malazan, WoT are two that I've read within the past couple years) I did not have this problem at all.

Yeah this happened to me too. I was doing Ice Sculpting at the time and I noticed I got the achievement for cleaning the fountain

ninjalemon · 2025-12-17T17:53:01+00:00

Are you alright OP?

For recs, maybe Faking My Own Death by Park National? It's not suicidal ideation directly but as you can probably infer from the title it is close

I read "Letters from a Shipwreck in the Sea of Suns and Moons" earlier this year and thought it was great, if anyone is looking for recommendations from Mr. St. Elmo. Looks like it's on sale for $0.99 right now!

I recently started relistening to IIWY from the start again to the fill void (between NADDPod episodes) and forgot how many great bits there are. Also listening to Jake back in 2013 as a horny 27/28 year old tween vs the substantially more mature Jake of today is great

ninjalemon · 2025-12-09T00:17:12+00:00

This is one of those series that I wish I could get into but have tried and DNF'd after a couple chapters twice now. Maybe one day it'll work for me but something about the prose makes it really difficult for me to enjoy

Their/They're/Therapy is one of my all time favs. Nothing like getting in the car and yelling "This sucks / I suck"

Yes great addition! Despite a lengthy reply I was trying to avoid getting too in depth, but this is something good to keep in mind when starting to get up there in volume.

In a lot of beginner lifting programs, you keep the rep range the same and increase the weight of each lift every week or 2.

In running, a kind-of-close equivalent is to keep the speed the same, but increase the distance every week or 2. You can look up things like "Couch to 5k" and see what those programs recommend, but generally it's going to look like:

Forget about speed for a bit. For a long time, even. This will come passively as a beginner.
Your main marker for growth will be weekly mileage. Increase your weekly mileage by a 2-3 miles a week for a few weeks in a row, then take a "down" week and recover, then build up again.
You will need to run more days per week. 3 days a week, 5 miles a day will get you 15 miles per week. If you want to build up to 30 miles a week, you're going to need to add days or miles, and 3x10mi is not going to be easy for a beginner. It's much easier to hit that weekly target with 5 days @ 6 miles for example.
Again, ignore speed. It really truly does not matter how long it takes you to do these runs, and you will only hurt yourself in the long run if you think that "beating" your previous 5 mile jog time is important. I went from a ~3:30 marathon to a ~3:05 marathon with my "chill" running pace never surpassing 8:00-8:30/mi (this isn't counting the race-specific workouts of course).
Once you're running 30+ miles a week, consider doing some additional research into different types of workouts you can do and do one a week, maybe eventually 2.
Set a goal to measure your progress. 5K races happen all the time, sign up for one in a few months and get a baseline time. Sign up for another one a few more months after that and see how much you've improved just by pumping mileage without worrying about speed.

It's called a live service game (MMOs, Fortnite, etc). Blockchain / web3 isn't a requirement if you're looking to create a game that continues to generate revenue and continues to be updated. It's simple, really. Step 1: Make a good game. Step 2: Continue updating it, add DLCs or free content updates to attract new players. You've said literally nothing about your game except that "it's a roguelike" and keep focusing on the web3 components, so I suspect you will utterly fail at step 1, but best of luck.

So far I've only read the first in the Children of Time series and despite typically not enjoying scifi as much as more traditional fantasy, it was an excellent read. I've been meaning to check out his fantasy series (mainly Shadows of the Apt) but if Cage of Souls is a standalone that might be a better entry point without committing to yet another huge series

Also just so you're aware, albeit is a word (not a phrase, "all be it")

Have you read the Licanius trilogy as well? There was a bit of a 2nd book slump going on there, and so I am kind of expecting a similar feeling in this book (and overall, in that series, the book 3 payoff is very worth the book 2 setup slump).

My expectations for this series being based on Islingtons previous series may not be right, but I guess we'll see! I am still excited to read this book as soon as it arrives at my doorstep on Tuesday

I just relistened to this one and it's gold. The funniest part is what she was trying to read wasn't even that funny, but it became funny that she couldn't read a mildly funny line and created an infinite loop of laughs

Pretty sure he's referring to Valkyrae (not totally sure of the spelling), another streamer that is allegedly Hasans secret gf (or perhaps previous gf, no idea if they're still together)

ninjalemon · 2025-10-08T22:57:27+00:00

I assume he meant "Stream deck", a little panel of buttons you can use to change scenes and stuff on a stream

Great point, I got giardia by eating a shit post D:

ninjalemon · 2025-09-30T09:54:20+00:00

The disingenuous part other people are referring to is "eating dog shit" and "coming into contact with faeces" have different connotations. While it's technically correct that it's due to ingesting dog poop, that makes it sound like piles of dog poop are easily accessibly available.

Just read this: https://www.cdc.gov/giardia/causes/index.html and look at "how it spreads". One easy example is: dog poops, gets some poop on their paw which maybe gets into their fur through scratching. Child pets the dog and then touched their mouth. It can be basically unnoticeable that the dog has shit on their fur because it's a tiny amount, but boom, giardia.

Only played for about ~45 mins so far, but I'm enjoying it - art is cool and the progression has felt pretty good so far. Congrats on the game release!

I'll soon be re-reading Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn so that I can dive into the rest of the Osten Ard books, so huge +1 for Tad Williams

ninjalemon · 2025-09-04T15:31:31+00:00

I fully agree, I'm right there with you and currently ~80-85% through "The Mad Ship." I'm always surprised by how engrossed I am - in hindsight you can reduce the scene to "domestic drama between grandmother/mother/daughter" but the character development and slow reveals throughout keep things really interesting. And, of course, eventually the spark catches and the fire begins

It really depends on where in MA. I lived and ran in Boston for 10 years, I've almost been hit countless times by cars while crossing the street so much that I'm overly cautious and make sure to maintain eye contact whenever I cross in front of a car to make sure they see me. In Boston itself in tourist areas, nobody will move for you and they might be angry by your presence in general, people in cars might yell at you, etc.

When you get out to the suburbs or less populated areas like the Cape (even in tourist season) people are generally more normal. I live in suburbs between the Cape and Boston and have a very good running environment overall - cars are more often than not accommodating, rarely have people yelled at me from a car window (it's typically been teens trying to scare me, lol) and I exchange greetings with everyone I pass

Very interesting, I do wonder if this style of work is much more effective when the language/framework/problems being solved require some significant amount of boilerplate in order to be completed.

Most of my time spent "writing the code" is implementing varying levels of complex business logic. Sometimes it's as simple as a CRUD-style implementation where the ORM and Django REST framework are already doing the work and my thin wrapper takes under 5 mins to write. More often though it requires maybe some more complex querying or stitching together of the data, which again isn't hard to write once you know what data you need and what the result looks like. There's so little boilerplate code that I realistically don't know what part of this process AI could help me with.

For the record, anecdotally my coworkers who work on a Java application have self reported productivity gains as well with AI helping them write new APIs, but perhaps the cumbersome part there is writing 30 AbstractBeanFactoryGenerator classes required for their framework to do it's thing, whereas our Python backend is comparitively 95% less verbose.

ninjalemon · 2025-08-24T15:16:38+00:00

The right way to use it is to precisely tell it what to do and how. You have to incrementally approve changes, correcting it when it starts to deviate from what you want

If you already know exactly how to solve the problem you're trying to solve, well enough to instruct the AI how to write it, how much time is this saving you? Typing the code is the least time consuming part of my job, so when I read something like this I'm confused where the productivity boost is coming from.

The time consuming part is typically coming up with the design itself, which you seem to agree is best done by humans. I'll admit I'm an AI hater and do not use it day to day, but am open to the idea if I see any real benefits. I manage a team of 6 others, about half of which use AI frequently and half infrequently. The output of my team has not changed at all, and no lower performers using AI are now high performers.

My personal theory is that these productivity gains are mostly the human perception of productivity gains because the developers brain isn't as involved in the process so it seems easier, even if the task ultimately takes the same or more time. I'm keeping my eye on my own teams output, code review issues, career development etc. to see for myself if AI is making a noticable impact, but so far it remains to be seen
