> have another look at that code

So true. beads[0] is such a mess. Keeps breaking often with each release. Can't understand how people can rely on it for their day-to-day work.

API only user or Max x20 along with extra usage? If it's the latter, how are the limits treating you?

+1 to beads. Works great

Been thinking of having Opus generate plans and then having Gemini 3 Flash execute. Might be better than using Haiku for the same.

Anyone tried something similar already?

From their response headers, it seems like the request is coming from NGINX directly. How do they defend themselves against DOS attacks?

I'm in India and we're affected as well.

I haven’t used Cursor since I use Neovim and it’s hard to move out.

The auto-complete suggestions from FIM models (either open source or even something Gemini Flash) punch far above their weight. That combined with CC/Codex has been a good setup for me.

That used to be the case a few years ago as well, when Wayland/sway was still considered experimental.

I had tried Manjaro i3, and XFCE’s i3 variant but at the end it was actually more convenient to install the KDE version and then install i3 on top.

True. In my experience, it has been good to use for second opinions and code reviews. Usually in CC/Codex via an MCP like zen.

Ah then is there any material on the new hybrid system that you mentioned? TIA.

> another factor to consider is that if you have a typical Prometheus `/metrics` endpoint that gets scraped every N seconds, there's a period in between the "final" scrape and the actual process exit where any recorded metrics won't get propagated. this may give you a false impression about whether there are any errors occurring during the shutdown sequence.

Have you come across any convenient solution for this? If my scrape interval is 15 seconds, I don't exactly have 30 seconds to record two scrapes.

This behavior has sort of been the reason why our services still use statsd since the push-based model doesn't see this problem.

Is "v2" based on their paper around Monarch?

The whole subreddit is moderated poorly. I’ve seen plenty of users post on r/LocalLlama about how something negative or constructive they said on the Cursor sub was just removed.

Claude also does that apparently. You give it a hint and it’ll lie about using that hint.

Ungoogled Chromium removes those pesky manifestv3 changes as well? The ones which make uBlock basically non-functional.

It also seems like all integrations that use Slack webhooks are working. But the ones which are like a dedicated app are failing with the same `fatal_error` message.

As in Mozilla stopped developing officially? Because I have seen active development on GitHub and monthly updates on their blog.

Ikr. They're up to some questionable decisions since long.

- Acquire companies like Pocket, Anonym in multi-million dollar deals and also the millions in bonuses that the CEO likes to enjoy.

- At the same time, no significant expenditure towards developing its core software. Firefox is still ridden with bugs. They even went as far as firing the people that used to work on Servo, Rust, WASM, etc.

I think it's clear to them that there's not enough money to be made with small tricks like Pocket, VPN, Relay, etc. Firefox is still the only profitable product and contributes ~90% to Mozilla's revenue. Much of it coming from Google which is the one thing that people have been asking them to be less dependent on.

And we shouldn't be surprised if they double down on making more money off of Google and also introduce ads. Acquiring Anonym, an ads company, implies that it might have already started.

When is the Firefox version going live? Would love to try it out.
