I often can't tell the difference between my Readme and Claude files to the point that I cannibalise the Claude file for the Readme.

It's the difference between instructions for a user and instructions for a developer, but in coding projects that's not much different.

Sounds like a job for a CONTRIBUTING.md :)

I predict there will be some sort of package manager opensource project soon. Download skills from some 3rd-party website and run inside Claude. Risks of supply chain issue will be obvious but nobody will care - at least not in the short term.

They've already started a public repository here: https://github.com/anthropics/skills (It's the last link in the "Getting started" section of the post.)

So _hard_ work makes you free?

Seems familiar, somehow . . .

waldir · 2 years ago
I get why people may not like the comparison you're making, but that aside, I agree that the article insists uncomfortably often that the freedom only comes if "the work" gets done (in various phrasings). As if to ensure that nobody gets the impression that a pleasant work experience is something anyone deserves rather than a generous gift by such a magnanimous employer.

Emails out today:

"We received over 1000 applications from around the globe. We were only able to accept 20 projects in our inaugural cohort."

waldir · 3 years ago
So... was your project one of the 20 accepted ones? I got the email but my project (tldr-pages) wasn't selected.

Tooling was XSLT's Achilles heel. Too many tools had no or poor XSLT support. What's confusing to me is a lot of the JavaScript templating today has equally bad tooling yet everyone's in love with it.
waldir · 3 years ago
Doesn't that suggest that tooling wasn't the issue after all?

A useful survey of current efforts. However, I don't see what I want here: depth. The third dimension. Yes, we think visually. But we also aggressively compartmentalize. We rigorously group things into mental boxes, dig into the boxes when necessary, or stick them in our mental attic while concerns are elsewhere.

There are examples of grouping and some clear hierarchies. But our mental processes are more complex. Things can exist in multiple boxes, boxes can overlap, crosscut, have different priorities, constraints, etc. Conventional hierarchies are too simple.

waldir · 3 years ago
That's why I prefer outliners. They still provide the sense of an infinitely nestable hierarchy, allow focusing on arbitrary levels of it as a temporary "root" document", and allow collapsing entire trees that are irrelevant for the current work I'm doing. But crucially, if they implement live cloning of subtrees (in Workflowy, for example, these are called "mirrors"), they can also allow a more flexible graph structure as opposed to a strictly hierarchical tree.

Of course, that misses the graphical/spatial aspect of other tools, but as josephg points out, these sometimes backfire without a natural, design-encouraged way to organize the content, and a stable frame reference. I for one don't miss the ability to organize my content spatially, even though I do that when working with physical paper. I think that's because of the limitations of the medium — i.e. I spread paper sheets out on a surface, and spread content within those sheets, because it's the only way to group content in a stable manner. The nesting system performs the same function for me in outliners.

Just create the header/footer as static SVG, embed as <object>, let http/2 handle the rest.

Interesting. Can you share an example of this working?

This awesome! I just created a Julia Debugger playground on Repl.it: https://repl.it/@amasad/julia-debug (it's a bit slow to start but then runs smoothly)

Here is a quick screencast: https://imgur.com/a/PXTRgHp

It's really great to be able to just click a link and start playing with Julia without installing anything! While there are other platforms offering a similar experience, I'm glad Repl.it added Julia to its tool belt.

Just a quick note for the inattentive like me: you have to click the "Run" button before executing the `@enter foo(20)` command.
