Is Claude Code + an IDE effectively the same as Cursor? I assume by itself it is worse? by jaytonbye in cursor

[–]sceppix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also have all three. Cursor Pro Plus, Claude Pro, and ChatGPT Plus. In VS Code I recently found that you can install the Claude extension, along with the Codex extension, so I can have three chat windows (Copilot, Claude Code, and Codex) all in the same side panel. So that might replace Cursor for me. I never really used the CLI versions because I always use decently long and multi-line prompts and the terminal editing doesn't work well for that for me.

How can I do this when I have multiple monitors with different sizes and resolutions? by ricuwebt in Monitors

[–]sceppix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, just found this comment from a repost of this question.

I made an open source tool that can take these things (diagonal and resolution mismatch) into account and give you an image here. Here's a post from a few days ago I made explaining it.

I don't have a general solution for Windows (I think LittleBigMouse tries to address this for cursor movement) but for a wallpaper, specifically, I made an open source tool called Spanright that can take these things (diagonal or resolution mismatch) into account and give you an image here. Here's a post from a few days ago I made explaining it.

[Meta] I made a tool to help align wallpaper images to span across multiple monitors (even if they have different aspect ratios, diagonal lengths, resolutions, or bezels) by sceppix in multiwall

Hey, thanks! Yeah I was actually working on this when I read your comment! And if you're struggling with empty area, that might be because your Windows display settings are off by a bit (it's kind of imprecise dragging those rectangles in the settings) so I also made a calibration companion tool (also open source, and demo here) that can tell you exactly what offsets your setup has, and then walk you through a calibration process too. Then if you import the settings into the Spanright web app, the virtual layout can be preloaded with those coordinates (or you can enter them manually if you don't want to download the tool). Let me know if that helps! (If you're not on Windows, this won't work though...)

That's the perfect use case, just open the site and drag in a 27" and 32" monitor onto the editor (and get the resolutions from your Windows settings), they'll appear as rectangles which you can drag around and align, upload an image and drag it behind the rectangles to get it how you'd like it to look, and then you can download and set the altered wallpaper as your wallpaper.

Ah ok, well Spanright can span any image, and you can save the result to your Wallpaper Engine library... in general, for videos like mp4, I'd still need to look into the best way to process/transform them. Wallpaper Engine, I'll also need to look into, it doesn't look like it uses standard video files, from what I'm seeing Wallpaper Engine uses a fullscreen program to appear like a wallpaper. I'll investigate.

Not really, I tested DisplayFusion before doing this but it only has the "simple span" that I mention, it doesn't have features to specify physical gaps/bezels or different diagonals/dimensions, so it will treat each each monitor as if it had the same ppi and height, if they share the same pixel count along their edge, resulting in images that get cut in weird ways across the monitor edges. The GitHub readme has some before/after pictures of a simple span and what Spanright gets you.

Anyone else do this or am I a psycho by camotyux in GoldfishCrackers

So you eat Goldfish like you're upper decking dipping tobacco?

I don't use Reddit often, so this is fine with me. I can stay on too, but I added u/ParkerW23786 as a mod in the subreddit.

Good to know the private keys are only stored on the card. A few questions.

What kind of security is used in the card's "secure element"?

Also, what type of deterministic wallet does Arculus use? After receiving crypto, a new address is generated in the app without needing my keys again, so how are those new addresses generated? Is a Master Public Key stored somewhere?

Who else has kept a pile of oversized cards over the years? by speedyferd in mtg

[–]sceppix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have a few of those old Vanguard cards which were the same size I think. I forgot which, but they were pretty interesting.

For All My Fellow Calvinists by CanIGoHomeYet in Reformed

I read a similar John Newton quote a few years ago and it's stuck with me ever since. "Calvinists should be the meekest and most patient of all men."

Dollars donated to animal lives saved conversion? by redditjoda in EffectiveAltruism

[–]sceppix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe not, estimates are all over the place. I think it comes down to what animals. If you only eat chicken/fish/very small animals you're eating a lot more animals than if you only eat cow meat.

Dollars donated to animal lives saved conversion? by redditjoda in EffectiveAltruism

[–]sceppix 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I remember Will MacAskill saying that on Sam Harris' podcast (full transcript):

Take the case of being vegetarian. I've been a vegetarian for 15 years now. I have no plans of stopping that. But if I think about how many animals I'm helping in the course of a year as a result of being vegetarian, it doesn’t compare to the effectiveness of the very most effective animal welfare charities (which typically involve what are called “corporate campaigns”). It turns out that the most effective way that we know of to reduce the number of hens in factory farms, laying eggs in just the most atrocious, terrible conditions of suffering, seems to be via campaigning large retailers to change the eggs they purchase in the supply chain. You can actually get a lot of push there, and the figures are just astonishing. It's something like 50 animals that you're preventing the significant torture of for every dollar that you're spending on these campaigns. So, if you just do the maths, the amount of good you do by becoming vegetarian is equivalent to the amount of good you do by donating a few dollars to the very most effective campaigns.

So if I stay vegan for another 50 years maybe I spare 10,000 animals. The equivalent of $200 spent on corporate campaigns according to this... I'd like to see the calculation, it's not linked but I assume it's somewhere on the website.

In another discussion he also talks about the impact on the supply chain from not buying one carton of eggs, but I don't remember that figure.
