Make sure to use the —standalone flag with sandbox invocations of opencode, else you will run the client in a sandbox but not the server.

4. Tools added by plugins don’t respect your permission config! For example you can set a tool to always ask when used, but it auto allows.

Hi Will,

I was about to try opencode after using claude code for quite a while.

I think understand the fundamental difference in how they work (acp against existing agentic loops with toad vs a single agentic loop for all models with opencode) but I’m curious why we might want toad over something like opencode, which lets me use any model under the sun.

I suppose toad gets to use the highly specialized agentic loops for each cli. And has a nicer (? opencode is pretty slick from my brief usage…).

Curious to hear about why you chose to built this way and what advantages you see.

My life hack for switching fonts - buy a Berkeley Mono license so I cannot possibly use any other font bc I’d be wasting money. Nice font too.

Very interesting that discord also effectively evolved out of a failed game, albeit a few years after slack.

I'd love to use this but there appears to be no coverage of my country. Any plans to expand coverage to other regions?

I've always been pretty quick to see the hidden image, but I could see these faster than ever - almost instantaneously, even the first one. I wonder if it's something to do with me having stared at a screen for a decade since the last time I saw a stereogram...

New comment by Cannabat in "Don’t look down on print debugging"

Cannabat — Sat, 23 Nov 2024 14:34:09 +0000

The article mentions it, but you can sum up print debugging as selectively enabling verbose/trace logging. “We’re about to do X” or “We just did Y, here is Z”.

A debugger gives you insight into the context of a particular code entity - expression, function, whatever.

Seems silly to be dogmatic about this. Both techniques are useful!

Unfortunately, it’s not possible to express this sentiment via election participation. Abstention ends up supporting one candidate more than the other. What seems to be an affirmation of neutrality is not that in practice.

I remember using cash about 10 years ago. Was it under a different user back then? Ken wheeler maybe?

Thanks for your continued work on it!

New comment by Cannabat in "Sanding UI"

Cannabat — Sun, 22 Sep 2024 14:42:30 +0000

I used RockAuto for the first time recently. The site is super dense with info and functionality, but never once did I feel lost or overwhelm. Neither did I feel like anything was missing. Everything I needed to see and do was exactly where it should be. It's so rare for the screen to disappear like that. It's so transparent that I _almost_ can't say it's a joy to use (it's a joy to use!).

Thanks for for the detailed answer. I'll try it out some time :)

Knip does have some auto fix capabilities but it’s not perfect yet. The detection is great, though. I use it with `dpdm` to keep things tidy. With these (plus eslint, prettier and typescript) in CI, I feel all warm and fuzzy.

OP, can you describe differences from knip?

Urine is not sterile [0], but it probably won't hurt you either.

Very cool! Did you explore using the gap properties to specify the thickness of your boards?

Aaaand then 5 evenings later… classic :)
