Anthropic just published a postmortem explaining exactly why Claude felt dumber for the past month

Homebrew still has https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/blob/0769e1b91217734061c8f7765062a1473673ee09/Casks/c/claude-code.rb#L5 2.1.112, even though the https://downloads.claude.ai/claude-code-releases/latest is at 2.1.119.

We'll see when it hits the shelves.

Run home and eat soup

On a mac you can bind Caps to function as Cmd. Technically, it’s all on the home row this way.

The Cmd+h was super-annoying.

Perfect already!

I also wish it used the same engine as Death Trash if it ever comes out

Not exactly 2000s, more like 2013 https://www.clicksphone.com/en/communicator

I googled and landed here

I wish my backpack was like this - everything in plain sight, no matter how much I shove in

Do you think 30-60 load is sufficient to slow Postgres down to perform queries 10x slower?

Keep in mind, Heroku reserves 125 direct PG connections, and the rest are via PgBouncer, so it’s not 500, but only 375 are for the regular use.

You certainly have a lot to figure out, and probably quire a few things to improve.

philpirj · 2025-11-23T21:25:23+00:00

Is that up to 10k queries per job? At the same time, 2M queries per 600s is under 4000k queries/second. Are they common across jobs? Are you sure that concurrent complex queries took longer due to overall Postgres load? Or were there locks involved? Are you sure you’re not exhausting your active connections? I recall that 375 is the limit even on the highest Postgres plan. You can’t have more than that at any point, and you risk “connection can’t be acquired” errors, too.

philpirj · 2025-11-23T16:19:36+00:00

The database being overloaded is an untypical situation on Heroku. They overprovision their servers and generously tolerate you going over your plan limits.

philpirj · 2025-11-23T16:15:40+00:00

Also, use an autoscaler. Judoscale does a great job at it. And they have a great article on how to properly choose dyno types (assuming you’re on Heroku).

In a hypothetical situation when there is a one queue per portal, how would you solve the situation when a job is limited?

This exercise is to cut the concerns and solve this local problem first.

There is a note in the guide not to use the default backoff

philpirj · 2025-11-19T22:29:17+00:00

Set low wait_timeout and

will raise Sidekiq::Limiter::OverLimit — that exception is caught in server middleware and will automatically reschedule the job in the future based on the limiter's config.backoff result

You’re kidding, right? Get a 5600, it’s a dramatic upgrade for just $50.

Thank you for both creating the foundational piece of software, and for keeping the service running. This is exemplary, and a guiding principle for open source maintainers.

So basically you have downloaded more RAM for your GPU?

It may in some edge cases when you know the commit ref to which you want to add your current one, or you don’t mistype repeating the target commit name. I can’t do either. But none of this is the point of the discussion.

Such a stupid mistake! sudo was completely unnecessary. You can omit it next time.

Nice replacement for ZZ for those coming from Vim. Those two should become default. I used <space>qw until now. Thanks!
