> If I'm friendly, responsible, honest, not poor, do sports, learn new things, keep the house clean, then the fuck more you want.

I think you are describing a person who has worked on himself. Like doing sports, that's good. I think too many guys continue with their teenage hobbies like playing computer games, and that's generally not attractive to women.

Of course, there are no guarantees. There's no magic checklist that you can fulfill and be guaranteed to find a partner. But I think there's always more you can do to make yourself more attractive.

Same here. I think I will probably look at some alternative to Notepad++.

Happened to me just a few days ago. Woke up, turned on PC, all my open programs were gone due to a Windows Update...

Very cool! A couple of questions:

1. Are you using a Claude Code subscription? Or are you using the Claude API? I'm a bit scared to use the subscription in OpenCode due to Anthropic's ToS change.

2. How did you choose what models to use in the different agents? Do you believe or know they are better for certain tasks?

Would be interesting to hear how it works what you have built.

What is the flickering issue?

Sometimes Claude Code scrolls up far away, and I struggle to scroll it down again. And I have to restart the terminal and Claude Code for it to behave well again. But I don't know if this is the flickering issue, or if it's due to a bug in Windows, Alacritty, Zsh or something else.

What devices are those? A phone with eink?

Good advice!

I made the switch to KISS some time ago. Really like it! I haven't missed anything. Simple and does the job. No distractions.

I know they have said that. But it feels a bit strange to me to continue to develop in C++ then, if they eventually will have to rewrite everything in Swift. Wouldn't it be better to switch language sooner rather than later in that case?

Or maybe it doesn't have to take so much time to do a rewrite if an AI does it. But then I also wonder why not do it now, rather than wait.

I don't get why the AI scrapers need to scrape the same sites and pages over and over again.

I'm using Asdf too. Have heard well about Mise, but I haven't figured out what the difference is, so I have stayed with Asdf

I wonder when/how to test and review the code though? I mean, how do you know Claude Code hasn't entered a completely different path than you had imagined?

I started to use JJ during the summer, and now I'm hooked. It feels much easier to do things such as reorder, squash and split commits, as well as change commit message.

I have recently tried to navigate with OsmAnd a few times where I live. Once I ended up in the wrong location, and a few times I have had to look up the business in Google Maps to find their address.

I would love to use OsmAnd more. StreetComplete sounds great and looks like a nice way to be able to contribute fixes to OSM. Thanks for the recommendation!
