Great work!

FWIW I like yours better. I'd just love to play the ones from previous days.

Where do German pensions come from?

pragmatick · 23 days ago

They're not strictly taxes but they kinda are. They're mandatory and paid by workers into a fund but are linked to your future pensions. Like taxes they're automatically deducted from your salary and legally required but earmarked as to be used in the future.

Which has worked well for quite some time but I don't believe I'll every see any of the money I'm currently paying into the system.

Writer of the post here, really appreciate this! When I was really little I did say I wanted to be a food critic when I grew up...

Hi! I wondered why the Gin Basil Smash is in the column with rare, specialized ingredients? Sounds pretty basic to me, especially compared with the other cocktails in the list.

I need to see a video of what people are doing to hit the max limits regularly.

I find sonnet really useful for coding but I never even hit basic limits. at $20/mo. Writing specs, coming up with documentation, doing wrote tasks for which many examples exist in the database. Iterate on particular services etc.

Are these max users having it write the whole codebase w/ rewrites? Isn't it often just faster to fix small things I find incorrect than type up why I think it's wrong in English and have it do a whole big round trip?

Yesterday I tried CC the first time. I have the $20 package. I asked it to improve the code in a small kotlin based chess engine. Five minutes later I reached my limit and the engine performed poorer than before. It just created two new classes, changed some code in others and created a couple of tests which it ran. So I hit the limit pretty quickly.

"For most documents, Harper can serve up suggestions in under 10ms." 10l is OK. 10kg as well. Why is 10ms wrong?

This is really cool! Suggestion: find a small MSI file that you can host as part of the demo and add a "load example file" button - that way people can try it out even if they don't have an MSI file to hand already.

Minor thing: When I load the page and click "Load example file" while Pyodide is still loading I see a stacktrace for a short time. Perhaps disable the button until it's loaded?

What is the container for / what does this do that `docker save some:img | ssh wherever docker load` doesn't? More efficient handling of layers or something?

pragmatick · 2 months ago

Relatively early on the page it says:

"docker save | ssh | docker load transfers the entire image, even if 90% already exists on the server"

There’s a bug on the page (on iPhone, at least) once you scroll to the gifs that it starts to auto load them without doing anything, making it really hard to navigate anywhere at that point.

pragmatick · 4 months ago

The opposite for me on Firefox Desktop - I didn't realize they were gifs and wondered what the pictures were supposed to tell me.

Wäre cool, wenn man die Boxen klicken könnte, ohne gegen das Popup der Box eins drunter zu kämpfen.

Works fine for me on Firefox.
