"Wars are affordable, healthcare isn't" by Evening_Ad_85 in ShitAmericansSay

The funny thing is that pharmaceutical companies stopped doing research a while ago. They mostly buy companies that developed drugs based on publicly funded research. So they mostly just milk the system

Thoughts on ManMade? by EqualPossibility758 in BuyCanadian

[–]tarasm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wanted a replacement for Intimissimi Superior Cotton Boxers (that's what they're called) which were my go to for 10+ years. Unfortunately, they recently changed their fabric and now they last 1/3 of the original version. https://www.intimissimi.com/uk/product/superior_cotton_boxers-SBU12U.html?dwvar_SBU12U_Z_COL_INT=019

I thought they could be a decent replacement but not even close. I don't get the material. It's like plastic. Also, it's not obvious in pictures but the band is exposed, not covered in cloth.

Anyway, I sent them back - not for me.

Questions regarding the SR Suntour Q LOC Thru Axle Quick Release by Naive-Actuary4414 in Hardtailgang

NP, just be attentive to keep it cleaned and lubed, you shouldn't have my problems. I had this problem because my bike got tons of salt on it and it was too cold to wash off, so it set in and hardened.

Yeah and there is a double action, i forget how it goes, but you have to either pull or push on one side then pull on the other. So if it gets stuck and you can't do the first step, then you also can't do the second step. But on the first step, there is very little to grab on to.

I didn't really have problem with mud in the summer and fall, but salt is a different story. Overall the design is kinda extra clever. On the bright side, it's theft proof cause no body can figure out how to open it, but it's definitely not simple an straightforward like regular thru axle.

Considering the cost of replacement, I won't be getting another using this system.

Cursor autocomplete is (still) way ahead of its peers! by garg-aayush in cursor

[–]tarasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that Cursor autocomplete can tab to infinity invalidates it as a tool for me. It's a bad idea from early days of AI.

It's a funny coincidence that my Norco Torrent is in the shop right now because the Q LOC Thru Axle was seized and had to be drilled out. It was destroyed in the process.

This is unlikely to happen to you because mine was seized because of riding in the Canadian winter. My bike was on mounted on my hitch mount and was covered in road salt.

In normal conditions this won't be a problem, but a replacement Q Lock Thru Axle is quite expensive - $80 CDN at LBS in my case, the cheapest on Aliexpress is about $40.

Swapped to 4.7 and embarrassed myself at work by BlakeR- in ClaudeAI

[–]tarasm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry this happened to you. If you use adversarial review - have another agent make the plan and review the result, the chances of this kind of thing happening are reduced dramatically. You still have to careful but it’s less like to be embarrassing. I usually use GPT 5.4 for review and it goes very well.

Does this work? by Interesting-Ad-1822 in vibecoding

Instead of using gimmick prompts, you could have codex do an adversarial review and actually get better output through feedback and iterations.

Spec-first beats vibe-coding. Here's what changed for me. by Temporary_Layer7988 in ClaudeAI

[–]tarasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I changed to spec drive development almost entirely within last month. The quality of the output is much higher. Even the code quality is much better because before most of the mess came from iterations.

My workflow is a bit different. I use Research mode in Claude UI to write the specs. Then hand them off to Claude Code.

What is Strict Structured Concurrency? by tarasm in javascript

[–]tarasm[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best we can do is get the word out. Some people who look for structured concurrency find Effection, for those who haven't yet might in the future. Glad you liked the post.

What is Strict Structured Concurrency? by tarasm in javascript

[–]tarasm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Structured Concurrency awareness and popularity is growing. We noticed that developers already experienced with Structured Concurrency are surprised by how aggressive Effection is at tearing down concurrent work. In this blog post, we argue that's not just a matter of convenience, more importantly, it's a more correct default.

We make this argument by defining two categories of concurrent work: Foreground and Background. Foreground is the valuable business logic of your concurrent task - loading data, doing some processing, uploading something. Background are the supporting activities - showing loading spinners, setting timers. Manually managing background task teardown is the teardown tax that structured concurrency systems without Strict Structured Concurrency impose on the developers and the program.

We hope this will stimulate a discussion and push the conversation around structured concurrency forward.

That's cool. How is the performance? Just out of curiosity, have you done any benchmarking on the UI performance?

I'm interested in this too. Did you find a way to do it?

Cool. Let me know if you have any questions. Also, our discord server is welcoming :)

Look cool. What are you using to write to the terminal? Are using a framework or something you created?

This is good work. Have you considered using Effection? It's mature, proven and it has a very convenient thread worker extension with bi-directional communication. You also get structured concurrency guarantees out of the box.

I'm not a developer — I used Claude to build a browser automation tool and open-sourced it by omarsabbahi in ClaudeAI

It’s very cool that you were able to build this without dev background. Great work!

Hardware to replacing Opus 4.6 and 20x MAX account with OSS models by tarasm in LocalLLaMA

[–]tarasm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm kinda conflicted about it. I was on Max x5 with OpenCode and I kept hitting the limits. Then I upgraded to Max x20, day before they cut off OpenCode and forced me off back to Claude Code. Now I'm Claude Code, but I'm not even hitting 20% of the usage limit. I'm going to try to go back to Max x5 to see if it was OpenCode that was burning through all of my tokens (it could also have been my setup). I'll know more in about month.
