Love systemd timers 2 months ago

After years of using orchestration tools like airflow and dagster so many lightbulbs have just lit up in my head.

I wish documentation for tools would explain their abstractions concepts in terms of its primitives.

Great post, thanks!

For me, it helps to slow down my thoughts and aides deep work. I draw diagrams, connect blurbs with arrows, and “link” to other page numbers.

Claude Opus 4.6 6 months ago

Claude Code release notes:

  > Version 2.1.32:
     • Claude Opus 4.6 is now available!
     • Added research preview agent teams feature for multi-agent collaboration (token-intensive feature, requires setting
     CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1)
     • Claude now automatically records and recalls memories as it works
     • Added "Summarize from here" to the message selector, allowing partial conversation summarization.
     • Skills defined in .claude/skills/ within additional directories (--add-dir) are now loaded automatically.
     • Fixed @ file completion showing incorrect relative paths when running from a subdirectory
     • Updated --resume to re-use --agent value specified in previous conversation by default.
     • Fixed: Bash tool no longer throws "Bad substitution" errors when heredocs contain JavaScript template literals like ${index + 1}, which
     previously interrupted tool execution
     • Skill character budget now scales with context window (2% of context), so users with larger context windows can see more skill descriptions
     without truncation
     • Fixed Thai/Lao spacing vowels (สระ า, ำ) not rendering correctly in the input field
     • VSCode: Fixed slash commands incorrectly being executed when pressing Enter with preceding text in the input field
     • VSCode: Added spinner when loading past conversations list

Rather than juggling your parent’s __init__ on another thread, it’s usually clearer to:

1. Keep all of your object–initialization in the main thread (i.e. call super().__init__() synchronously).

2. Defer any ZMQ socket creation that you actually use in the background thread into the thread itself.

When Forest Gump said “I’m pretty tired, I think I’ll go home now” was he breaking an obligation to keep running just because others were following him?
