Bracket City's UI used to be simple and subtle. I used to love that.
But the new UI is different and bad.
Homepage with deep orange background with black text
Puzzle page with caps lock keyboard, lower case answers and fluorescent blue highlights.😡
It takes away the joy of doing these everyday.😔

Not sure why, but lately Claude in browser is generating several versions of an answer instead of just one per request.
For eg: I asked it to adjust my CLAUDE.MD file, and got 5 drafts at once 🤷♀️. This increases output tokens unnecessarily and in no time, it says you reached the 5-hour max limit 🙄.

The first iteration is just the start. We need to test the results, review the code and ask to fix what it missed.
This is my follow-up instruction.
For some of these long tasks, Copilot asks for confirmation whether to continue iterating.
Finally, it runs lint and build tasks. Ready to deploy!🚀

Here is a typical chat with agentic coding for a big refactor (GitHub Copilot Claude Sonnet 4).
I give multiple tasks in single shot 'coz each instruction eats up Copilot Premium request budget ($0.04/inst). And agents are capable of doing multiple complex tasks, creating a plan and executing it.🚀💯

This is an example of GitHub Copilot explaining its reasoning in a way that gives me confidence of the work it is doing. It says where all it is searching, whether it found something, what it is going to do next.

Trying out Wimbledon's new AI chatbot 'Match Chat' 🎾(powered by IBM watsonx) - very handy for match stats and insights, answered most questions well.
But for this specific match that ended in Thompson retiring due to injury, it struggled and kept asking about 'Match Context'🤷♀️.

Walked 70 miles on the treadmill and 170 miles total (with outdoor walks) this May - an average of 5.5 miles a day! ❤️🎉
Long walks with country music outdoors and YouTube videos/TV shows on tread.
Kept showing up. Small steps really do add up. 👟💪 Happy, grateful, proud.

8. And the most exciting news: it works on mobile too - specifically on Firefox for Android!
Just add the plugin to Firefox and it runs flawlessly. You’ll need to add the templates manually, but it’s easy!

7. The web clipper also has a side panel that opens on the right side of your browser. It gives you more vertical space to work with.

6. There are built-in templates for popular sites like Goodreads, Wikipedia, and YouTube. For example, the Goodreads template pulls in details of the book and creates a structured note, using this schema: schema.org/Book
I even customized mine to include the book cover - github.com/annjose/obsi...

2. Save any webpage as an Obsidian note - in any folder you want. The default template includes metadata like title, url as variables and are added to the front matter of the note, and is fully customizable.
For example, I added this to show the title + URL in the note body:
[{{title}}]({{url}})

I see the same behavior as @retr0.id. It has been like this ever since I turned off history a few years ago (btw, the best decision that helped tackle my doomscroll issue).
I do subscribe to channels, but they show up only when I go to Subscriptions.

❇️ TIL two fun things:
1. Bash stands for "Bourne Again SHell", the descendant of the Bourne Shell that was released in 1977. 😎
2. Bash supports 'regex'-like characters 🔥, eg:
- `?` matches single character
- `[abd]` - matches a, b or d
- `[a-d]` - matches a, b, c, or d
This is called globbing! 😍
