canadiantim··on Canada's bill C-22 mandates mass metadata surveillance
Canadian leaders are currently very consciously choosing to partner with China as opposed to the U.S.

I get diversification, that’s a good call, but adopting policies that actively harm Canada to the benefit of China is where we’re at and it’s so far beyond the pale. Just take a look at Canada, who for as long as I have known, have tried to maintain its industrial base in Ontario, eg the cross-border supply chain for automobiles, but then this "new" government comes in and is like y’know what we really need right now? To compound the effects of tariffs, piss off our biggest trading partner, risk NAFTA (CUSMA) and our entire cross-border supply chains with the US all so we can get some cheap electric cars from China, which won't even be manufactured here (atleast not with Canadian jobs); meanwhile we just spent close to $100 billion in subsidies explicitly to try and kickstart electric vehicle manufacturing in Canada. May have been more productive to turn that $100 billion into pennies and throw them down a wishing well...

This is why you need a red-green-refactor TDD skill

I don't think just saying it's an anti-pattern for a multitude of reasons and then not naming any is sufficiently going to convince anyone it's an anti-pattern.

This is in fact precisely what skills is meant for and is the opposite of an anti-pattern, but more like best practice now. It's explicitly using the skills framework precisely how it was meant to be used.

You don't need a harness beyond Claude Code, but honestly it's foolish to think you shouldn't be building out extra skills to help your workflow. A TDD skill that does red-green-refactoring is using Claude Code exactly as how it's meant to be used. They pioneered skills.

Works better than standard claude / gpt, which doesn't do red-green-refactor. Doesn't seem like slop when it meaningfully changes the results for the better, consistently. Really is a game-changer. You should consider trying it.

Check out Mike Pocock’s work, he’s done excellent work writing about red green refactor and has a GitHub repo for his skills. Read and take what you need from his tdd skill and incorporate it into your own tdd skill tailored for your project.

Nice. What other fancier setups have you seen? I haven’t even come across any potential better alternative. Been playing around with tailscale’s new aperture service too which is awesome as well.

I guess that makes sense in the light of her previous post and work on making a new archiving solution for being able to host singlefile archives more efficiently.

Thank you

canadiantim··on Over 80% of 16 to 24-year-olds would vote to rejoin the EU
That’s funny in light of one of our Canadian governments (Alberta) recently calling for a referendum on immigration levels, with the government claiming immigration levels are too high to support the housing, economic and social needs of the sheer quantity of people coming in. Seems like the government is trying to be responsible by making sure the social welfare system can still support people as it was designed
canadiantim··on There is unequivocal evidence that Earth is warming (2024)
I don't think the issue was ever people doubting that the earth is warming. Especially considering we're coming out of an ice age, it would be extremely worrying if the earth wasn't warming!

The main point people disagree on is: how much are humans contributing to this global warming trend?
