The secret sauce for me is Beads. Once Beads is setup you make the tasks and refine them and by the end each task is a very detailed prompt. I have Claude ask me clarifying questions, do research for best practices etc

Because of Beads I can have Claude do a code review for serious bugs and issues and sure enough it finds some interesting things I overlooked.

I have also seen my peers in the reverse engineering field make breakthroughs emulating runtimes that have no or limited existing runtimes, all from the ground up mind you.

I think the key is thinking of yourself as an architect / mentor for a capable and promising Junior developer.


It sounds like a great idea, then a government shut down happens.

How about fixing the government so it can’t be shut down because a few hundred politicians can’t agree on the next budget?


Neither party is interested in amending the Constitution, which would be necessary, and even if they were, the country is so deeply divided that it would likely be unsuccessful except maybe to knock a few inalienable rights off the list.

"Thanks I'm cured" material. You're not the first person to think of that, and the fact that it hasn't been done yet probably means it can't be done very easily.

Single payer / universal healthcare ≠ doctors/nurses are government employees (necessarily).

You go to your local health care provider, show your card, and received treatment. The single payer (government) then gets billed and money is transferred to the providers account.

If the government is shutdown, there could be a delay in payment in outstanding bills, but that does not mean health care providers shutdown. Medicare ran during the last shutdown:

* Telehealth was: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/medicare-patients-go-wit...

Social Security cheques went out too:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_United_States_federal_gov...

Lots of stuff can potentially be automated, and so continue to run.


It's possible for some of that to continue, but we really don't know what would happen if we directly connect payrolls and finances of the healthcare industry to the federal government in the US. It's a fair question how such a big connection would suffer when the government is punitively closed in a faustian bargain as part of a political struggle, as seems to be common recently.

There might be a few top-down emergency provisions to ensure checks go out to keep the system from toppling, but I wouldn't work if my pay is frozen and neither would my plumber, electrician, lawyer, etc. The last few shutdowns have run over a month - that can easily exceed the cash reserves of most businesses (that would be providers) and large businesses would shutter or have layoffs before burning that much cash.

We can't be so confident in how a $5T/year system would react if its primary cash flow valve is turned off, is all. Handwaving away the scope and complexity doesn't help anything.


Just because the fed exists doesn’t mean the entire economy shuts down with the government.

It depends on how it’s structured.


The Creality one runs decent on Mac and Windows, sadly on Linux its a nightmare, and technically why I ditched Ubuntu / popOS for Arch Linux, but I can't help but still feel it runs a little weirder + its out of date compared to Mac and Windows versions. My buddy used to use Orca slicer on my printer, that one iirc should run on Mac too, but I havent tried it.

Does Creality have special changes made to the slicer? If it's just the profilem, then running the PrusaSlicer app image might be the easiest. PrusaSlicer appimage has always worked perfectly on Ubuntu 22 LTS.

I'm probably never going back to Ubuntu. I believe it was crying about me not having the right version of GLIBC, and it just frustrated me.

Bambu (and Orca, etc) runs fine on Windows and Mac. It's the automatic model repair that gives it a leg up on Windows.

SuperSlicer, PrusaSlicer and Creality Print work fine for me using Debian. Orca Slicer runs but reliably crashes when opening the preferences window, something which it has been doing for a long time according to the bug report. Cura also works fine om Debian for me. Which problems did you have running any of these?

> too old to give up Vim.

Even for Neovim? ;)


Even for Neovim!

Neovim is the only reason I've given vim a serious look. I love Emacs more, but Neovim lets me use any UI on top of it, which means I can have better visual indicators for things I don't know how to do in VIM. Emacs has a GUI but a lot of it is "beyond flat" and it just doesn't translate well to my brain. The best plugin for Emacs for me is still Spacemacs, and no I don't use it with the vim mode stuff, I prefer it with regular emacs commands (for anyone curious).

But Neovim just works for me every time, even vanilla its fine.


I'm a strict Emacs-only user (although sometimes I'll jump into nano for quick edits of isolated files). When I just started out, I went with Spacemacs, which served me pretty well. But there were a few pain points that I can no longer remember, and eventually I gave Doom a try. Haven't looked back.

What? Maybe OPs future. SWE is just going to replace QA and maybe architects if the industry adopts AI more, but there's a lot of hold outs. There's plenty of projects out there that are 'boring' and will not bother.

This. They would have been better off just tagging you with a GUID and it would have been less confusing. "This GUID is your bubble"

I think its their currently targeted ad demographic or whatever. Its probably a "meaningless" label to humans, but to the computer it makes more sense, he probably watches the same content / googles the same things as some random person who got that label originally, and then anyone else who matched it.

Yeah somewhat like "likes football" might just be a proxy for "male".

male, lives in this region, has an income between X to X+40000, and has used the following terms in chat or email, regardless of context, in the last 6 months: touchdown, home run, punt, etc. etc.

the ad game is not about profiling you specifically, it's about how many people in a group are likely to click and convert to a sale; they're targeting 6 million people, not you specifically, and that's balanced by how much the people who want the ads are willing to pay.

palantir or chinese social credit, etc., is targeting you specifically, and they don't care about costs if it means they can control the system, forever.


I think you're on about the ad preferences settings or whatever? I usually wipe those.

This is a little different, this is probably an issue anyone of any side politically can agree is bad. A government is killing their own people in the tens of thousands. It is foolish to even waste time pointing fingers outside of the country in question in my eyes because its irrelevant, their current government is killing citizens in the right here and right now.

It means how many Mountain Dews you can chug per day.
