Yes. Casio FX-991 es plus.

I did use for integrals, derivatives, etc, in a distant past.

Now I'm using to do simple calculations, including checking Claude code/opus math and logic.

Well I do intend to use software to automate these interactions, because in my country whatsapp groups are unmanageable without this.

Imagine the group of parents of my kids schools sending 100 to 300 messages per day with different subjects.

The issue is. I also have personal and important chats that I don't want to share with an vibe coded AI software without any canaries taking the shot first.

And I'm talking as a person that is using almost all my Claude max subscription every week.

But I do verify ALL of the code that I'm delivering. And I'm even using Gemini as an adversarial LLM to review Claude generated code.

Does this that gigantic project set any standards for this?

I was not able to find on their documentation.

So it's funny indeed, but for now I'm upvoting this one even being a confident moderate person.

:)

Interesting, I'm using Endel for a year or so. I did install the app here, but it's definitely not polished.

Like answering the first questionaire and not saving it, so I tested only one of the default scenarios.

The flashlights are too strong for me. The subtle drawings that Endel uses are nicer.

I use mise to update binaries. Especially TUIs that are not on the arch repos. It supports several backends, from cargo crates to GitHub releases, to uv for python and so on.

So one doesn't really need homebrew that has Linux as third class citizen (with the 2nd class empty)

Definitely. The things that I most agreed with my doctor and my psychologist was around rebuilding my daily routines on things that are important, but not overly rewarding, or with delayed reward (physical exercises, home chores, reading and entire book chapter before stopping).

So much so that I can reduce the medication when I feel my routine is healthy enough.

No overdoing neither under doing. Taking care of hyper focus is more important than anything else. Learning to transfer the rewards from highly rewarding things (videogames) to the chores.

During my gaming sessions as well, playing harder modes repeatedly without giving up.

It's very important this aspect of reframing things. Pursuing healthier outcomes by changing the routine.

Unfortunately a really close person to me is taking much higher dosages, but it's not seeing this way, neither the doctor of this person frames the same way like my doctor is doing.

I went all up to 50mg, using generics or whatnot, extended release or regular ones, now I'm a happy camper on 10mg. Will go to 20mg because I need to force myself into more exercises, usually I take 30 minutes before these sessions of "boring" routines.

More important than anything is having an honest discussion with my psychiatrist about the role and objectives of taking the medication.

Hey, Merry Christmas!

I did invest my time on more specific technologies, not following the mainstream, I accepted a 35% cut, but on smaller and promising small company that smells like startup, but it's actually an small business sharply focused on some types of customers. No VC funding.

I'm also a father of a daughter and I'm "training" her to understand that she needs to sell something that is not abstract.

As a computer scientist, I still sell implementations in form of code, but I dearly assumed many years ago that this (abstract product X concrete product) could be the difference to put food on my table - and now on my daughter's table - or not.

I'm far from highly successful because I'm still fighting this urge to just focus on code, but luckily that understanding above make me talk to any kind of person that is not a coder as well. Understanding business in general, meet concrete needs on different types of industries and so on.

I'm not from the US, so take that into account. I was near shoring to the US, now I'm doing that, but to the EU. I moved to a different market.

Also I'm fully invested in using AI a lot. With that I feel as a senior dev that indeed I don't need as many juniors as before, and I dearly miss having some junior dev to ask the "dumb" questions that I forgot to ask myself sometimes. AI still does not fill that role.

What helped me with AI is not caring as much about the number of LOC as before, as long I met the product's needs.

I hope you can find some comfort, keep your temper cool, so your daughter can feel that as well. That she has at least someone to hold and float.

My best wishes and I hope that 2026 could bring better luck.

As an introvert living in Rio de Janeiro, I can tell you that a lot of being happier in a hot climate with a lot of people around is just a social mask.

When I start deep questions about financial safety, the future and so on, just by asking I can be labelled as a pessimist. And I'm far from that.

I'm a fairly resolved and confident introvert, but I know many timid people that feel ashamed that they don't feel "happy" in these large group of people, that are extremely agitated and yelling around to grab some piece of attention they need.

And what is being shown in social media, documentaries and etc is just one pov.

It's a good point about living in a hot climate often being associated with living a happy life. Although to what I've seen, there isn't much evidence for such a correlation.

Simple theory:

In a warm climate you see people walking around feeling comfortable.

In a cold climate, the people you see are freezing.

People are not freezing in a cold climate - they have plenty of coats on. In hot climates you run out of clothes to take off - even nudists.

Well I feel cold in winter sometimes even with a coat on. It hurts when I go outside, so I stay inside more, but if I stay inside too much, it hurts.

The point about hot environments is true, but people are not anxious and your body rarely hurts. They are lazy and their minds blank out. It is often too hot to do anything except try to scam anxious northerners and move away from mosquitos.

I grew up in northern Sweden. You're definitely miserable even when dressed perfectly in -15°C!

You're right that once it gets over +30°C or so, you'll be miserable whatever you wear. But there is a large temperature range below that that is wonderful. The Bay Area is almost always in that zone.

It's currently above freezing, dark, and wet here in Norway about 40 km south of Oslo. I'd be a lot more comfortable if it were -15 C. The sun would probably shine for more of the day instead of being hidden behind dark clouds and it would be dry; going for a walk would be much more enjoyable.

Is there a way (like a CSS rule or something similar) that when you look at the main strudel window, it only shows the piano rolls, punch cards, sliders, etc - but not the code?

Maybe with just the comments? This would be killer, since I have dual displays, and on one I can just focus on the code, the other one can have all the visual stuff.

I'm using this plugin, but having the code twice distracts me a lot (but I prefer the original neovim instead the integrated vim mode inside strudel).

Thanks in advance!

Hey, plugin author here, there is a section in the README for that (not the piano roll, but only the hydra visuals) :)

Note that there is also a feature to inject your own custom CSS into the page.

You can also run in headless mode to not launch the browser window. Hope it helps :)

I'm not using the plugin, but this hides the code in the browser:

.cm-line span { outline: none !important; color: transparent; background: transparent !important; }

I've only just started playing around with it, so I don't know enough about it unfortunately. You could open an issue against the repo; the plugin owner might be able to answer your question.

Wow, I started learning recently, I didn't know you can change the theme.

Also this music brings really good vibes!

I get more motivated when I can see it working directly and change some code here and there!

Thanks for sharing.

Intelligence in my book includes error correction. Questioning possible mistakes is part of wisdom.

So the understanding that AI and HI are different entities altogether with only a subset of communication protocols between them will become more and more obvious, like some comments here are already implicitly telling.
