## How I Use Every Claude Code Feature
[Source](https://blog.sshh.io/p/how-i-use-every-claude-code-feature)
Shrivu Shankar’s guide highlights **deep workflow integration** of Claude Code for “fire‑and‑forget” collaboration — setting context once, then letting AI produce merge‑ready PRs.
### Key Functions
1. **`CLAUDE.md` as the “constitution”:**
- Document common errors, toolchain usage conventions.
- Avoid large doc embeds; link externally.
- Drives simplification of interfaces.
2. **Context Management:**
- Avoid `/compact`; use `/clear` + `/catchup` or “Documentation + Clear” approaches.
- Persist progress in Markdown for later recovery.
3. **Custom Slash Commands:**
- Keep lightweight; avoid overloading with complexity.
- Examples: `/catchup`, `/pr`.
4. **Subagents:**
- Can separate tasks but risk “context walls” reducing global view.
5. **Core Value Proposition:**
- Focus on development efficiency over learning burden.
- Optimize `CLAUDE.md`, simplify toolchains, use clear context strategies.

## Visopsys — Lightweight OS Maintained Since 1997
[Website](https://visopsys.org/)
**Visopsys** is a free, open‑source PC OS notable for:
- Compact size, GUI support, pre‑emptive multitasking, virtual memory.
- Independent design (not a clone of major OSes).
- USB/CD/floppy boot support — no install needed.
- Latest release: 0.92 (Sep 2023), reflecting **active maintenance**.
- Target use cases: learning, embedded scenarios, customization.

## Claude Code in Cryptographic Debugging
[Article](https://words.filippo.io/claude-debugging/)
**Use Case:** Debugging ML‑DSA (NIST PQ signature algorithm).
- Detected error in `w1Encode` usage — high bits processed twice during verification.
- Suggested and tested fix — pass high‑bit input as param.
- Also identified:
- Montgomery domain constant miscalculation.
- Insufficient encoding length bug.
- All fixed without human intervention.
**Conclusion:**
AI shouldn’t replace developers, but can **drastically reduce debugging time**. Potential: integrate AI analysis triggers on test failure.

## nokode — LLM‑Driven Web App Logic
[Repo](https://github.com/samrolken/nokode)
**Concept:** Let LLM handle **all application logic**.
- Tools:
- `database` — AI‑designed schema & queries.
- `webResponse` — Generate complete UI.
- `updateMemory` — Retain user feedback.
**Demo:** Contacts CRUD app with real‑time UI changes based on text prompts.
**Bottlenecks:**
- High latency (30‑60s/request).
- Cost per request ($0.01–$0.05).
- Poor memory/state persistence.
- Frequent SQL/HTTP errors.
**Insight:**
Viable prototype but impractical at scale — points toward future “intent‑driven systems” without explicit server/db/code.

## Sudan Crisis — Visible From Space
[Report](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/10/28/sudan-bloodied-sands-massacre-thousands/)
- Satellite imagery: **mass killings** in El Fasher visible as large red sand areas.
- RSF accused of ethnic cleansing, blocking aid routes, executing civilians.
- Comparable atrocities to El Geneina 2023.
- UN warns of **imminent mass violence**.
---
## Sailfish OS — Privacy‑Focused Mobile Linux
[Info](https://sailfishos.org/info/)
- Origin: Nokia MeeGo project, evolved by **Jolla** since 2011.
- Supports Android apps via compatibility layer.
- Key strengths: independence, security, openness.
- Limitations: hardware support gaps, dev resources, ecosystem competition.

## URLs as Front‑End State Containers
[Blog](https://alfy.blog/2025/10/31/your-url-is-your-state.html)
### Benefits:
- Shareable, bookmarkable, history support, deep linking.
- Avoid DB/cookies/localStorage for sharable state.
### Structure Uses:
- **Path segments** — hierarchy mapping.
- **Query params** — dynamic state (filters, pagination).
- **Anchors** — in‑page navigation.
**Best Practices:**
- Suitable for search, filters, pagination, view mode.
- **Avoid** storing sensitive info.
- Handle browser history carefully.

## Fil‑C — Safer C/C++ Compiler
[Notes](https://cr.yp.to/2025/fil-c.html)
- **Compatibility:** Most Debian packages build fine; minor fixes required.
- **Performance:** 1–4× slower than clang; acceptable for many crypto workloads.
- **Deployment:** Needs significant RAM/swap; scripts for parallel builds.
- **Use Cases:** Memory‑safe runtime, good fit for cryptographic code & select DBMS components.

- Know problems like:
- Dead ReLU neurons.
- RNN gradient explosion; use clipping/LSTM.
- DQN loss clipping destroying gradients — use Huber loss.
