wldcordeiro··on Claude Code reads AGENTS.md only when telemetry is on [fixed]
We've just had a file called `.rules` that is symlink as `AGENTS.md`, `CLAUDE.md`, etc to support the 3 or so common ones used around our projects.
wldcordeiro··on Replacing Pull Requests with Delta
I've been curious about using it but the fact it needs to upload everything makes it something I can't do with work and then don't see the immediate value of on projects by myself.
wldcordeiro··on There's a new "Google Jail" for independent wikis
For what it's worth Liquipedia is sort of aimed at different people than the fandom wiki. Liquipedia has a very e-sports bend to its content so it may be that the ranks are skewed because the fandom wiki has more general purpose info about the game, lore, etc while Liquipedia has info about teams, matches, events, etc.
wldcordeiro··on The Rust React Compiler is now native in Vite
I think once you have it in Rust the next ask is using no "unsafe" code from that crowd.
wldcordeiro··on Three sites made 215,128 “best software” pages for AI. Perplexity cites them
heh reminds me how every app lets you report ads as "spam" still but in this day what is even the difference?
wldcordeiro··on Twitter Viewer – View Twitter Without Account
Reminds me of what Brasil did with Pix which of course the outside payment processors have been trying to undo.
wldcordeiro··on RAG Is Simpler Than You Think
blah blah blah justifications for gatekeeping.
wldcordeiro··on Epic Games announces Lore version control system
What a completely rude comment that tells me everything I ever need about you and whether I'd want to interact with you. They're not asking for the literal answer. They're asking a question about why that is important to surface at all.
wldcordeiro··on Last.fm is now independent
Absolutely, you're hitting the same conclusions I've reached. The algorithms are optimized for the lowest friction users that just replay the same music they like over and over again and accept whatever the popular music is. If you're a user that likes music discovery you're fighting against the system to get what you want.
wldcordeiro··on Last.fm is now independent
I don't think the recommendation engines behind Spotify, Youtube Music, etc compare to the recommendations I got from last.fm over the years. The algorithmic ones seem to have a bunch of issues that bug me as a long time music listener and someone with a large music library.

- their memory is short as hell so you can listen to something for a while, stop and then it'll suggest it to you later as something to "discover"

- they are way too biased towards recently listened music and will replay things over and over if you're not actively managing your queues.

- because they're so based on what you have listened to (recently) they suggest things that are extremely obvious music no one is "discovering"

- they suggest the "top" songs from artists, albums, etc, it's very hard to get it to play a "deep cut"

- if you have a large library you'll inevitably hit playlist song limits and other things silently. Each service handles this differently, Youtube Music seemingly kicks things out of my library or liked playlists each time I add something else.

I've literally just gotten in the habit of never using the autoplay features and just starting whole albums from start to finish again because the algorithms annoy me so much. Youtube Music has been getting worse about it too where now it often ignores the music you chose to start a playlist and starts playing things you've listened to recently regardless of it doesn't match the genre/vibe at all.

wldcordeiro··on Don't put aria-label on generic elements like divs
I was wondering that too. They explained the differences between the tools but didn't really qualify which was doing things "right" just that they differed.
wldcordeiro··on Valve releases Steam Controller CAD files under Creative Commons license
These days it's hard to tell and there's always a mix of both with any high demand items so it makes the stock limits even more pronounced. With how Valve has done hardware releases lately though I imagine it's more a stock limitation.
wldcordeiro··on Zed 1.0
Yeah I can see that. I probably wouldn't be subscribing to issues that weren't feature requests/gaps very often. Ones that are tied to bugs are the only others that come to mind that I'd subscribe to but just thinking about my own dev experience in various jobs and how even there our internal backlogs of issues would have unclosed, out of date stuff, I think some portion of issues in public projects would be too.
wldcordeiro··on Zed 1.0
Context usage is in an open PR now! https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/54881 give it a week or two depending on if you want to use stable vs preview releases. I haven't tried pasting images yet either but I have used their context menu that lets you add images.
wldcordeiro··on Zed 1.0
1. That's a pref, turn off "format on save" lots of editors and IDEs have it. Maybe they should default to off but it's not an unheard of option with no way to turn off.
wldcordeiro··on Zed 1.0
Entirely right it's a limitation to the ACP side. They're in the middle of adding functionality where you can have terminal/CLI threads and ACP threads too. https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/54729
wldcordeiro··on Zed 1.0
Go look at any large project, they have 500+/1000+ issues and many are ancient. Chrome, Firefox, you name it. I wouldn't be surprised if many issues have even been solved or need new reproduction steps but there's a difficulty to triaging all the issues as well.
wldcordeiro··on Zed 1.0
You should edit your original comment since it was user-error not the app being inferior.
wldcordeiro··on Zed 1.0
I feel like it doesn't support some of the commands that manage Claude itself so think `/mcp` `/plugins` etc. Most of the common ones are configured to work though from what I've seen but the ones that do more configuration of Claude seem to be blocked.
wldcordeiro··on GitHub is having issues now
Seems like every week or so there's status issues. Often at what feels like the start of the week too.
wldcordeiro··on Dissecting Flock Safety: The Cameras Tracking You Are a Security Nightmare [video]
Plus they'll position them close to an intersection in the parking lot of a business so they can get around something like the restriction Austin put in.

wldcordeiro··on It's time for modern CSS to kill the SPA
Lots of SPAs now are code-split too for what it's worth so you shouldn't really have large bundles to download if you're splitting things well.
wldcordeiro··on Engineer creates ad block for the real world with augmented reality glasses
You own a Tesla don't you?
wldcordeiro··on LiveView Is Best with Svelte
In Counter Strike I've seen it be an actual issue too where a player's view is blocked by a body and their teammates don't have the same issue while spectating them.
wldcordeiro··on Does uBlock Origin bypass the latest YouTube anti-adblock script?
Firefox has a better extension API and uBlock Origin is able to do more to block ads than it can on Chrome.
wldcordeiro··on The Future of CSS: Easy Light-Dark Mode Color Switching with Light-Dark()
I appreciate that you not only have a nuanced critique but an alternative proposal as well.
wldcordeiro··on macOS Sonoma is available today
I could have sworn the dessert names were code names and they did numbered releases too the entire time but they did drop the 1.x numbering for just whole versions.
wldcordeiro··on Is Design Dead? (2004)
In my experience one way this manifests is how every new project you'll get PM and management rushing you to use some dead simple user authentication so you do then 6-8 months later they're asking you to add RBAC to all the features you've had nothing like that planned for. Like it's the most obvious eventuality with any of these apps sold B2B and it's always put off and fucks up any architectures and forces various "pivots" because management couldn't be bothered to listen and prioritize foundational stuff.
wldcordeiro··on Is Design Dead? (2004)
In my experience even when you want to do those things more often than not it's management that sees it as a waste of time and wants you to get to coding. So many times we've had to "pivot" in projects because management couldn't be bothered to let us plan any architecture.
