Config tiling (meta + t) with config file?

I have OCD and don't want to tile with dragging as the tiles will be a few pixel off.

Is there a way to specify tiles programmatically like this?

{div: vert, pos: 40%/1000px, child11: {div: horz, child22:...}, child12:...}

Is there a list of "common" package that don't exist on pacman/aur?

With common I mean packages like these: CUDA/CUDNN, vscode, brave browser, MPV, wireguard or touchpad drivers. Can I assume that arch have the latest updates and not that nvidia driver is 3 months behind Ubuntu?

I would think most exist but is there any gotchas for people coming from other distros?

Make bots dig stuff up and down.

It would be great if bots would help digging up stuff close to them.

When commander is in operations view it would be good if he could order stuff dug down.

The cherry on top would be if logistics teams dug down roadblocks if it blocks the way.

Have you noticed an uptick in recruiter messages the last few months?

In 2022 I got like 2 messages per week from recruiters. In 2025 it was one message every 3 week and mostly from Indian consulting firms. Inhouse recruters where maybe 2 for all of 2025.

The last two months I have gotten like 8 inhouse recruiters messaging me. Even if the role aren't a perfect fit the messages about "real" jobs have gone up.

Not too fancy companies but think home depot or a bank need a data engineer type of jobs. I have 8 YoE and work in Scandinavia.

Have there been a battle between mounted archers and unarmored musketeers?

Did it for example happen between Qing dynasty and British empire?

How many musketeer where there for each cannon and would cannons have been effective against mounted archers in loose formation?

Is using lots of AI token per feature a sign of low efficiency?

I have 8 years of backend experience, no frontend experience and only two months of Claude experience.

What I have noticed is that I'm clueless about frontend and just describe what I want like "a page of sales grouped by division" and the AI consumes tons of tokens.

But in backend I'm much more precise like saying "read table sales and remove the duplicates from the data stuture in insert function". It's even more noticeable when debugging where I can point out where the error is in backend but not frontend. Most of the errors in backend I already catch when approving an edit and tell Claude to fix it before editing.

When I develop frontend I have reached the 5h Claude limit in 2h but in backed I have never even got over 10% in 5h. I would say the complexity is about the same for backend and frontend if the code where written optimally. The token usage seem to be negative correlated with my skills in the area.

In summary Claude help me be 50% more effective with something I know for like $1 a day while it enables me to do something I don't know at all for a higher cost and lower quality.

Does SOLAKAKA SM809 Pro have on device programming?

When you program SM809 does the config stay on the mouse or do you need some program running in the background?

I intend to use it on multiple computers and some with Linux.

Reliable hardware manufactures for server-routers?

With a server-router I mean something like OPNsense running on an Atom CPU.

Is Supermicro the best in reliability price performance triangle or is there alternatives?

Do the server need redundant PSU and ECC RAM? I have power from a single 3 phase line but could put the PSU on different phases and fuses. Do an Ubiquiti router use ECC RAM?

Do meat cut matter for sausages (excluding fat content)

Could you taste the difference between tenderloin and the cheapest cut in a sausage as long as the fat content is the same?

I'm making a sausage with pea sized diced meat and not ground meat. It will then be dried for a week.

I embedded with:

AI.EMBED(
    text,
    endpoint => 'text-multilingual-embedding-002',
    task_type => 'SEMANTIC_SIMILARITY'
  ).result AS embedding

and search with:

AI.SIMILARITY(
    "house",
    text,
    endpoint => "text-multilingual-embedding-002"
    ) AS similarity_score

How do I make sure similarity is embedding with SEMANTIC_SIMILARITY and not RETRIEVAL_QUERY?

If endpoint => "text-multilingual-embedding-002" is not specified the score get changes so it don't seems the table keeps track of things automatically.

Get this error if trying to specify the same way:

No matching signature for function BIGQUERYGOOGLESQL:AI.SIMILARITY Argument types: STRING, STRING, endpoint => STRING, task_type => STRING

Do it understand it correctly that anyone in an organization can basically access anything in that organisation? Even if they don't have dashboard access they can query the data source directly.

But there is separation between organisations so users can't access data sources from organisations they don't belong to.
