amrtn··on How to setup a local coding agent on macOS
Did you have any issue with tool calling inside opencode? I tried the same approach, but my models don't see any tool.

If you liked it, you'd probably also enjoy the three Omega Tau Podcast episodes with David Woods, one of the contributors of the NASA Apollo Flight Journal [1]

amrtn··on Ask HN: What music do you listen to while working?
Lately, some of the chiller shows from cercle. E.g. [1]

Before that, lots of post-rock sprinkled with some infected mushroom according to my mood that day

amrtn··on Forebruary is a wall calendar that you do not need to replace every year (2013)
-M sets the first day of the week to Monday. If in your locale the weeks already begin on Monday you are not going to see much difference on the output.

The -v flag didn't work in my WSL.

This worked:

amrtn··on When negotiating a price, never bid with a round number (2016)
This is one of the key ideas behind the book Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss [1]. I found the book quite enlightening if you peek through all the hostage negotiation stories.

amrtn··on Lo-fi hiphop beats mixed with live police scanners
That was awesome, thanks!
amrtn··on Brave New World Revisited, Revisited
Can't recommend enough the Intelligence Squared episode on Brave New World vs 1984

amrtn··on Ask HN: Which YouTube channels do you watch regularly?
Fun fun function has helped me to find the joy in programming javascript. Kudos to him!
amrtn··on What Happens to Your Body on a Thru-Hike
That was exactly the case on my 18 month bike trip in Alaska, South America, SE Asia & China. We found it very difficult to pack or even find enough quality proteins (and at the time we didn't know they where that important tbh). In the end I lost 20 kgs and went from 85 to 65 for a 178 cm 30 y.o. guy.

That was 5 years ago and I managed to mantain that weight by taking care of what I eat. I think that trip changed something in my metabolism and helped to know myself better.

amrtn··on How I Start: Elixir
¿No RSS or ATOM feed available? Feedly doesn't find any feed on http://howistart.org/

I know I can get updates by twitter but feeds are a commodity I'm used to :(

amrtn··on Cue, the home lab for quantified self
I don't know why, but it creeps me out. If it's that easy to test your body for "molecular" levels . How long before you are asked to be tested at your workplace, on interviews, etc.

Gattaca anyone?

amrtn··on Question quality is dropping on Stack Overflow
I've been using a tampermonkey script [1] to hide "Hot Network Questions". I find them utterly distracting.

amrtn··on Are You a Zen Coder or Distraction-Junkie?
That have not happened to me even once. My brain needs too much sugar to function propery and if I miss a meal he won't work at all. On the other hand I can easily disconnect my body from my brain while riding my bike and forget completely about eating & drinking. When I reach my limit I faint, stumble and fall.
