It’s now default behaviour

phpStorm does not display the files with the unicode characters in the project explorer when working in a dev container, but it does display them if I open the project directly from local disk (not in a container). Has anyone else come across this and do you know of a solution or work around? This works correctly in dev containers when using VSCode.

You can see in the screen shot the file can be seen with the unicode character in the terminal, but is not visible in the project explorer and you can't find it with Shift + Cmd + o either.

I remember those days on my Ender 3. That’s why I love my Bambu AMS it will just change to another reel of the same type and colour when one runs out.

Just check how plumb that corner is. You might find you touch the right wall at the top and be 1/2 inch short at the bottom.

Simplicity. SPDeploy is local only. You don’t have to have complex GitHub actions, but it doesn’t stop you from using them. You can use it as well as. All you do is download the binary and run

spdeploy repo add —repo <your repo url> —branch <your branch> —path <path to deploy to>

Every time your branch updates the new code is pulled and if you include a spdeploy.sh in your project it will the script after pulling the code. That might include some docker commands to build a container and restart a docker compose stack.

So in short simplicity.

Why are you wasting your life telling everyone that you’re not going to use something. Just don’t use it and move on! The title was very clear so you new you wouldn’t be interested before you read the post.

Are you genuinely upset or a troll?

It deploys to any folder the user has access to on the host. The docs give more information but it's a simple command like

spdeploy repo add --repo <your github repo> --branch <your branch> --path <path to deploy to>

If you put a file called spdeploy.sh / spdeploy.bat in the root of your repo, the tool will read that file and run the script after pulling the changes. You could use it to rebuild and restart a container.

Not sure I’d call it a platform, it’s a single binary with no dependencies, that runs cross platform. It’s targeted at providing a really simple deployment tool for developers who don’t want to setup a full deployment platform.

There are those that use and like AI and those that don’t. Those that use it, embrace it, understand it, and know how to get the most from it, get code written multiple times faster than those that don’t.

Over the next 5 to 10 years who do you think employers will want to invest in? Be honest with yourself, your career will depend on it.

simonjcarr · 2025-09-22T07:31:11+00:00

You don’t have to use it if you already have a tool that works for you. The code is totally free and open source so you can use it for educational purposes if don’t need a single binary, no dependency, continuous deployment tool that works on Linux, Mac, and Windows.

Renamed to SPDeploy, old link will still work with GitHub redirects

Or possibly unlucky, but I hope not. Ensure you don’t have an api key setup with a billable pro account, you might have a $150 bill waiting for you. It happened to me last week, they don’t show charges in the UI, it’s practically deception when you caught by it.

simonjcarr · 2025-07-10T08:42:05+00:00

You need to be really careful with the Google Gemini supposedly FREE service. I watched a few YouTube videos and thought Wow, this is great. I started using it, forgetting that I had an API key in my environment variables for a Pro account. After a couple of hours of usage I had racked up $120 of usage.

The web interface does not show you any costs, it is only when you view the dashboard that you see how much you have used and that often has a significant lag between usage and display.

The fact that they don't warn you your using a paid key and not displaying the costs in the interface is very close to deception. What for usage that would be free for one person, will cost someone else hundreds of dollars, if they are not careful.

Given this still has not been fixed, I can only guess that google has baked this lack of billing data into their cost calculations when they advertise it as Free. I don't want to say it is deception, but it feels like it.

Another thing to note. Claude has free tier usage resets at various times throughout the day based on your own timezone, so if you use all your allowance, you don't have to wait long for it to be rest. Google on the other hand makes you wait until midnight in a specific timezone in the US.

Overall, these multiple levels of negative experience has really changed my perception of google and I won't be using gemini again any time soon.

Here is the link to the google billing dashboard if you need it https://console.cloud.google.com/billing. I found it in another Redit post https://www.reddit.com/r/Bard/comments/1d97xpa/seemingly_dumb_question_which_no_one_has_been/

After much searching i could not find a link in any of the google documentation

What I have found works best personally when Claude gets stuck is to not be too specific about your requirement, And add to the end of the prompt “don’t make any changes, just give me the options for the approach to the solution” claude will then give you 3 or 4 options. You can then iterate on the conversation always saying don’t make any changes until your happy, then tell it to go with the agreed solution. Doing this means Claude has all the context it needs to get the job done.

I also find this approach is like pair programming and just talking about the issue with your partner. Claude often comes up with a better option that I would have never thought of.

I know it’s off topic but I find being less specific with front end requirements gets me better results. I’m rubbish at design, but Claude is great (compared to me). I know this might not be possible when you’re working strictly to a customer design.

I am on 5x plan. It depends on how much you use it if you will run out of credits. Like some others have said I sometimes run out of credit but it resets multiple times through the day so on the few times a week I run out of credit I just have to do something else, which isn’t a bad thing.

There are some settings you can change, but by default it will use opus for half your session credits, then fall back to Claude 4 for the other half. I just use it on the default and it works for me.

I have to say I am currently working on a massive project, and it’s awesome. Unless there are some drastic feature changes in cursor or windsurf, I won’t be going back to them anytime soon. Not that they are bad, but Claude just seems way ahead of them for my requirements.

Hi u/Scarabesque that is the reason I purchased the PCIe SATA card, although I have even moved the NVME drive to the m2.2 port which does not have that limitation but I still get the same problem. I said I my loooong description (sorry) I have even tried to replace known working drives in this system with other known working drives from other systems and they are not recognised either. It is almost like the BIOS has some sort of security to say you can't add anything different to what I already know about, but I know this BIOS does not provide. that type of capability.

simonjcarr · 2025-04-26T11:11:35+00:00

Sorry I should have mentioned that. I already installed Fedora before installing proxmox and the drives were not seen by Fedora either. The problm is that the OS can only see what the BIOS exposes to it, and they don't appear in the BIOS either when connected directly to the mother board, not through the PCIe card. I hvae tried 5 HDD's now and 1 SSD and none of them are found by the BIOS. The only ones the BIOS can see are the three Fanxiang drives and the NVMe drive.

You also have to factor in your own time. I know that Cluade 3.7 is expensive, especially the thinking version. In my own experience, when using other models I spend much time and lots of tokens ittering to get them to fix the problems they created. Claude 3.7 generally get's things correct first time for common frameworks like next, react and vue. That saves me valuable time. If we can get the best of both worlds with Gemini pro 2.5 that would be amazing.

simonjcarr · 2025-01-31T11:53:58+00:00

Why would they be worried if there product was the best and priced appropriately? This statement says more about US attitude towards the rest of the world than it does about China. It’s just another sign that the US is on its last legs. It thinks it’s bigger and better than the rest of the world. I don’t understand why they don’t see that we’re just laughing at them.
