This is going to sound strange, but I simply must decorate a few rooms. I seem to be so obsessive about selecting exactly the right thing in there in case it's wrong. I can't seem to select anything at all. If I carry on like this, I'm going to go another 10 years living in essentially an empty room with a bed in it.
Hey there Boris from the Claude Code team! Thanks for these tips! Love Claude Code, absolutely one of the best pieces of software that has ever existed. What I would absolutely love is if the Claude documentation had examples of these because I see time and time again people saying what to do in the case you tell us to update the Claude MD with things that it gets wrong repeatedly but it's very rare to have examples just three or four examples of something gets got wrong, and then how you fixed it would be immensely helpful.
There really should be a law around being able to access and review locked accounts. I've seen so many cases of people just losing their digital lives because of an automated system.
Regular old contract law will handle this fine. State a claim to a court and let Apple respond to it. It's not beyond the reach of the author to do this.
Because I'm apparently a billion years old, I still use Sublime Text and just text editor. If I do switch, it will be to this. However, is it as responsive? Do file changes just appear if I change them elsewhere in like terminal?
I have to say, i love this. The name is fantastic and the whole concept. It's got a very Game of Life or Monopoly feel where you've just taken the fundamentals of something in society and turned it into a game instead of adding an additional story on top. I really like it.
My one comment would be, I think you need to change the branding a little bit. It's a bit too close to Magic the Gathering, and this feels like its own IP and can stand on its own legs. So I think you need to just adjust the cards enough so they don't instantly read as a Magic the Gathering card.
If the author is reading this, then I feel like it would be great if you could potentially open source your skills and Claude MD in a redacted way so these are actually viewable. The problem with a lot of these tutorials is, if I can call it a tutorial, is that we never get to see the actual skills or the Claude MD themselves, just a description of it.
The simplest thing is probably just to ask for it. I'm sure if you went now and asked to be moderator for a hundred different mid-sized subs, you'd get yes from a few. If you "seem trustworthy", probably more than a few.
Its worth any maintainer to be familiar with these methods to build up defences. With a few sock puppet accounts a single person could do it on their spare time. A nation state or criminal full time enterprise could do several attacks.
It's scary and immoral but I find it fascinating too. Like the dark side of the how to win friends books.
Strangely not mentioned much in here is how these accounts are up for sale.
It's definitely never mentioned on reddit because simply saying one of the websites in an offhand comment gets you a sitewide ban and your comment deleted.
Mods aren't set in stone, they tend to be active for a few years and then give up. Once that happens and you notice the current mods not posting anything for a period of time, you can simply file a request to side-wide admins to take over that sub, as giving it to anyone else is better than leaving it completely unmoderated.
it's surprising that this feature remains relatively unknown. the article doesn't seem to be directly aware of it. I recently requested a fairly important subreddit which had been taken over by mods of a competing to sub and locked down to prevent competition, and they gave it to me immediately
Apart from getting the existing mod team to hand over to you, you can also petition to the reddit admins. For example, there is a process to replace inactive mods and this could be used to take control of a subreddit with existing users.
On a side note, does anybody have a good cookie consent blocker, pop-up blocker for Firefox? I uninstalled "I don't care about cookies" since he got taken over by a mysterious third party.
I use Consent-O-Matic. It doesn't catch everything but it does work on some sites. Basically it just automatically goes for the "Reject" option if that's provided in a reasonably standard way. Lots of sites where that doesn't work, obviously. But a few where it does.
Probably a good benchmark if you are developing standard cookie consent dialogs is whether they work with this.
Not an exhaustive solution, but these are often loaded with third party requests. The domains often contain "cookie", "privacy", "consent", or similar, and blocking them does the trick. uBlock Origin lets you do that once you tick the "I am an advanced user" box.
What business? This seems to be completely free, with no pricing, in-app purchases, or anything. That being said, it's strange that it doesn't seem to be open-source.
