Absolute madness or complete nonsense - I have neither an Apple account or device, nor a Google account or mandated device (e/os on Fairphone 3+) and operate perfectly successfully in the UK with (almost [1.]) zero friction.
1. Revolut app stopped working so I emptied my account and opened a Wise account which is fully administer-able from their website. Revolut has subsequently started working again after a couple of app/OS updates.

Same, though I’ve never returned to Revolut.
Wise does have some quirks (e.g. they’ve blocked me from unfreezing or reissuing my cards recently for no apparent reason), but still they’re way way closer to zero-bullshit than any other neobanks I’ve tried.
I actually had the exact same worry when I started building this.
But it turns out Claude Code's official VS Code extension is built to read these exact same local `.jsonl` files. So unless Anthropic decides to intentionally break their own first-party extension, it should remain relatively stable.
Of course, they will add new payload types (like the recent "Teams" update), but when that happens, it's pretty trivial to just add a new parser handler for it—which I've already been doing as they update the CLI.
Yeah this is a risk, the jsonl format is not a documented api surface.
I have a similar project that started out as just a log viewer but is now a full session manager etc (https://github.com/kzahel/yepanywhere). My approach was to occasionally run zod schema validations against all my local sessions to make sure the frontend has a pretty faithful schema. I've noticed sometimes when I run claude cli it modifies some jsonl files, it might be doing some kind of cleanup or migration, I haven't looked too deeply into it (yepanywhere detects when files change so I see those sessions as "unread, externally tracked")

>> Ah, you're right! Let me reconsider...
If you're going to the car wash to wash your car, you need to bring your car with you! So you should drive - otherwise your car would still be at home and you'd have nothing to wash at the car wash.
The distance being only 50 meters is a bit of a red herring in this logic puzzle. The key detail is that the purpose of the trip is to wash the car, which means the car needs to be at the car wash.
In case anyone couldn't be bothered to Wiki, a baktun is 394.26 tropical years (aka years!). So 'a few bactuns back' might sound like a jiffy but could in fact be a millennium or more!
> I find it re-assuring that judges get different answers under different scenarios
Unfortunately, as the aptly titled 'Noise' [1] demonstrated o so clearly, judges tend to make different judgement calls in the same scenarios at different times.
Probably not. Pretty sure it was Puppy Linux (among I'm sure others) that could be run on just two floppies. I used to have this old 933MHz Coppermine system that I took when a medical office was going to throw it out, some time in the early 00s.
The HDD was borked but it had a 3.5" bay that worked, so I got a floppy-based distro running on it. I later replaced the drive and then made the mistake of attempting to compile X11 on it. Results were... mixed.
Iirc (it's been a while), Interactive Unix (full?) install required some 40 (forty!) 5 1/4" floppies (I believe 1.2MiB) anno 1992 or so. Linux (SLS) install was (a little later) so much smaller, even with X11 and TeX, as it had shared libraries (somewhat new in the *nix world then).
Before then, a local clone store had an 'insane deal' on floppy disks, and they came with Slackware. I had a Mac, and the floppies weren't very good so.
12‽ I'd swear the Slackware I downloaded was closer to 30+. On dialup. Via a VAX. Using FTP to go from internet to the VAX box, then Kermit from the VAX to the DOS PC using Procomm Plus. Write it all, start the install sequence, find out that the 18th disk was bad. Reboot. Rinse. Repeat.
X disks were X11. There were also the A,B, C etc disks.
Then there was the Coherent install, with massive manual on ultra thin paper with the shell on the front.
Was curious yet again (Please note once again that the sql query is LLM generated)

The difference between the fact that your karma's lower/words different is that the database behind it is old from clickhouse.
Ran it on my own it's 0.0063 which makes sense because much of what I write isn't intended for pure comment-karma but rather just whatever I am thinking actually. I am still honestly just happy that this post had reached the front page of HN (looks like now its on the second page)
Finally going to sleep now. I have tried to answer to many queries/interesting things that people wanted something for. I will still see if I may have missed any & respond to them tomorrow if I might have the time tomorrow.
