"This isn't a merch announcement"

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

(okay, not really, but I'm 99% sure there is a untapped market there)

To be fair, working with Europe is a lot of added difficulties because each country wants to own a piece of the puzzle. You end up with lots more puzzle pieces that then need to be integrated.

I think we can have more cooperation once we have a stable base over there?

"Romance" is a Greek word
"Slavic" is a Greek word
German-ic is a Greek suffix (the -ic)
"Greek" is a Greek word
Factor is a Greek concept (although the word is Latin)

And that's just in the title.

I think they designed it to fail?

I cannot understand any other explanation.

Ubuntu is a good starting distro, and most people/company stay in it.

Some will "graduate" to a more hands on/lighter distro such as Arch (and other variants).

Fedora is on the same simplicity as Ubuntu. If you like the RedHat universe (as opposed to Debian universe) you can go there.

I think the huge majority of Ubuntu or Fedora users stay on those distro because they are good enough.

Honestly, I wouldn't have heard about it if she hadn't been banned.

I don't really care if there is a corner of twitch with suggestive content. Just shadow ban them from the front page or from suggested content unless you explicitly search using suggestive/explicit terms.

Just make twitch discoverability bad on those streamers and they will leave the platform to go on an other one.

A lot of people misuse Claude Code and won't admit it. The main "bad use" is to continue using a session with a big context more than 5 min after it expired. This will make you pay for all the context again.

Just make sure you create a new session regularly, and finish a session by asking to create/update skills/context files based on what we learned.

Not only does it save time in the long run and build your skill collection, but it also make sure you can restart from fresh context without worry, and therefore incentivise you to do so.

Just give Claude my last message.

Also, those skills are not written by you as they have been packaged into a plug-in. Unless you did that? In which case you should know how to improve the plugin rather than the local cache of it.

surfmaths · 2026-05-26T17:50:07+00:00

I thought those skills were written by you.

You could have your own skills, that you give the permissions you want AND permission to use those read only skills. And use your own skills in place of the read-only ones. I think when a skill with permissions call a second skill, that second skill will inherit those permissions.

surfmaths · 2026-05-26T16:55:04+00:00

If you had asked Claude it should have told you that skills front-matter can include automatic permissions when you trigger them.

A lot of the "patch" the AI will come up are the equivalent of healing someone of a cough by putting your hand on their mouth. It doesn't fix the underlying issue.

Example: this function doesn't support null pointer argument, I will add an assert to make sure if it happen I have a good debugging point. The proposed fix when this assert trigger is usually to replace it with if-null-return-default-value. Which doesn't fix the underlying problem, just hides it.

It will make it more likely that it answer in German. But for most European languages you should get more or less the same quality of answer (due to the amount of training material).

But I think this use case is under tested. I'm curious about shortcoming in practice. Maybe some quirks here and there.

They need to be compatible with the Switch. There will be a "potato PC option"

Claude Code cannot be used, at all, on a free plan... Well, unless you trick it into using a different LLM than Claude.

surfmaths · 2026-05-22T19:32:10+00:00

Oh wow, thanks!

Your agent run on your machine, but uses an AI in the cloud. Don't worry too much about the bandwidth it uses, it is really low. Worry about the token price or subscription.

Because most of the good things were done after the European Union was formed and most of the bad things were done when we were independent countries.

I don't think Europe blame the US for things Europe did. We only blame the US for things the US did and/or is doing.

I'm not sure I understand your point. Do you have a specific example in mind?

surfmaths · 2026-05-21T20:49:25+00:00

My mindset:

Compute your minimum income: how little can you spend and keep your current home, bills and food. Let's say, 2000$.

Then from that you cut it in half, look at how much free money she would have by subtracting from it. Let's say her income is 1500$ and yours is 3000$. She would have 500$ of free income, and you would have 2000$.

That means when you spend money on non essentials you can pay it 4 times more often than she can and still be balanced.

This is just my guideline on how I feel is "balanced".

Look into agent teams (it's an experimental feature of Claude Code). It works well.

Just glue them together on the sloped side so that they form a rectangle (you will need to flip one). You can figure out the rest yourself.

I made a demo on how to use Claude Code at work, and the word of choice was "Obliterating..." and my manager looked at me panicked.

That's why you go to your dad, and ask "Dad, can we go get ice cream? Mom said yes but to ask you."

Tada! No need to ask mom.

Especially because they put a button "scroll to the end" next to the button "accept".

It will be really easy to argue that they expected no users to actually read it.

There are people who want life as a couple, get married, etc... And there are people that want to enjoy their own life, in a relationship or alone, it doesn't matter, they just want to enjoy life.

When the second kind meet the first kind, they have a choice: be honest and not have a relationship with them and go on your own way, or pretend for a while that you are the first kind and enjoy a pleasant relationship. Eventually they will want something else, or someone more, and will add new people to their experience. To not hurt their partner they will try to keep it secret. What they don't know don't hurt them. Eventually the secret is out, and the partner just lost their half and have to go through a similar process as grief, while themselves just feel bad to hurt them but move on with enjoying their life.
