We switched to Decoder due to allocations after profiling - we were using the Decoders/Encoders in a pipeline.
Don't believe there was a more convenient way to achieve the same without writing our own Decoders/Encoders.

go-gin switched to using Encoder in some minor version and had to switch back too due to the same problem:

Now if you use json’s Decoder you can read a body and still might end up without reused connection - if a response contains a newline.
Decoder only reads X bytes (512? I don’t remember) and if the structure fits into these bytes exactly (and the multiplications of it) the newline leaves hanging there.
I always check for Decoder.More (this drains whitespace) after decoding.

My favorite part of the UK’s eVisa was taking a portrait photo of my 1.5y old.
I was losing my sanity over all the refusals (app refusing the photos).

Are you sure you are not talking about CIA?

I am waiting for prices to get down and in the meanwhile I am gathering as much session data from claude/codex as possible so I can then later use them to fine tune open models. I've built my own session parser/archiver for this.

There is a park in my city that used to be the city cemetery. They moved the cemetery to a new place due to capacity and turned the original one into a park.
I think it is a very common practice. Everyone will be forgotten eventually, no matter the fame.

This reminds me of my former CTO. He would take bunch of CVs and randomly throw some of them in a bin. He didn’t want to work with “unlucky” people.

It system prompts that change all the time especially in claude code.

I feed crows during winter in my local park. They recognize me as soon as I enter and follow me around. Some even fly very close above my head and tap me with a wing.
Also they cache food they don't eat, they hide it, cover with leaves and make sure nobody is watching them, they act very casual. I am not sure if they remember the locations though.
Compared to ravens they have smaller head but I believe it is because they spend so much time near people (at least here in Europe you don't see ravens in cities, they are afraid,for historical reasons, of people and low in numbers) they get smarter and more crafty.
I can recommend a great book about corvids with beautiful illustrations: https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300122558/in-the-company...

Is it possible to use the credits from subscription (https://support.claude.com/en/articles/15036540-use-the-clau...) for fable?

I've tried it on my repository; for go if function is in format `func(...) (T, bool)` and you use it as `object, _ := func(...)` it reports as `Error return value is being ignored` even though it's clearly not an error being ignored (and ignoring the bool ok is a common pattern in go).
