It means certain proxies that proxy claude to opencode will still use subscription credits. So yes, indirectly this will mean you can still use claude with opencode without API credits.

Linus torvalds famously said you shouldn't rebase for shared work, it's not a clear cut thing that not knowing how to rebase is bad per se since you shouldn't be using it a lot in the first place in his philosophy, refusing to learn is a different story however.

Dictatorship is very good at combating crime if it's under good hands (which itself is a tall order imo), just look at Singapore, the problem with dictatorship is the lack of accountability and 99% of dictators simply suck at governing hence democracy is usually better since most dictators have a severe case of Dunning–Kruger effect. People like Bukele and Lee Kuan Yew are very few and far between.

I've always wondered why people dismiss dedicated hosting without a second thought. It's actually cheaper than AWS if you factor in all of the performance you get.

I do recall reading somewhere that Amazon.com isn't actually hosted or fully leveraging on the AWS platform, mostly due to the political struggle between the AWS and the merchant department.

Universal healthcare is not the same thing as government-run and provided healthcare.

This is one of the generation gap thing. Kinda like knowing how to install Windows 95 OS on a machine, you need to run all sorts of command line utilities before you can actually perform the installation, and you have to go out and get the drivers manually, and sometimes you have to use your floppy disk to install the CD rom driver so you can install the network driver from the CD, then select the right .ini file in the driver folder that matches your CD readers spec. People used to know how to do all of that, but nowadays?

I think we'll probably have a generation of drivers who will simply not know what to do and would probably get lost easily if their phone breaks/data-plan runs out.

I would also use Typescript as well, because, type safety is super helpful when it comes to debugging. Unless you never programmed in a static typed language like C# or Java before, there's not really any good reasons for avoiding it imho.

I'm opposed to using it for beginners who aren't familiar with the phonetic system of the language. Once you learned the phonetic system properly, and you know the character's in Romaji and Pinyin don't represent the sound you know in English, of course it's then helpful for learning how to type Japanese or Chinese.

Don't get me wrong, Romaji has useful purposes, such as representing place names in Japan for foreigners, etc. But as a learning device for learning Japanese, it's not a very good one.
