VSCode & CoPilot now offer it.
Is it as good? Maybe not.
But they are really working hard over there at Copilot and seem to be catching up.
I get an Edu license for Copilot, so just ditched Cursor!
Actually, my fridge has a cold water thing, which has an inline filter built in. But I don’t choose to filter the water as such.
Is that a real sponsorship read?
Is any of it real?
The marching, the crowd cheering?
I found Decorators just obscured display logic away in an inconvenient way.
There's a difference between not intellectually understanding something and not being able to refactor something because if you start pulling on a thread, you are not sure what will unravel!
And often there just isn't time allocated in a budget to begin an unlimited game of bug testing whack-a-mole!
The existential depression cycles that make me wonder why I’m even bothering to do the things that used to bring me joy, or at least keep me occupied, are exhausting.
AppCode
A smart IDE for iOS/macOS development
AppCode is no longer available as a commercial product as of December 14, 2022.

The idea that you would choose to release a technology that could be dangerous, whilst assuming you can hide in a bunker and be ok is astoundingly cruel and naive.
From the Article: “Once we all get into the bunker—” he began, according to a researcher who was present.
“I’m sorry,” the researcher interrupted, “the bunker?”
“We’re definitely going to build a bunker before we release AGI,” Sutskever replied. Such a powerful technology would surely become an object of intense desire for governments globally. The core scientists working on the technology would need to be protected. “Of course,” he added, “it’s going to be optional whether you want to get into the bunker.”
I haven’t used Swift UI in a couple of years, but I always thought the basics of it were excellent.
They got the declarative API foundations right I thought.
Shame it’s still flakey.
The preview used to crash constantly last time I used it.
Hopefully the market will correct the pricing situation once the goldrush calms down.
Even my local pharmacist ranted about what a rort it is last time I asked LOL

I don't agree that the current situation in the browser market fits the definition of a Cartel, as I understand it! :-)
People like to disparage Apple Arcade as some sort of failure for not having enough "AAA" titles, whatever they are supposed to be.
But yet, Apple constantly adds new titles to the catalogue, and you can play them all for a reasonable cost without vile ads for gambling, casino, adult and microtransaction games!
Also, in my experience the games all seem to run fine on old-ish hardware like the iPhone 11.
It's my, somewhat lazy, philosophical opinion, that there isn't any purpose and there doesn't need to be one.
I don't see why the universe would need a purpose for anything. Things are what they. Things changing state. Entropy.
I see reproduction as more of built in motivation to our system than a purpose as such. But that's semantics, and my purpose in life is not to argue about words! ;-)
What is real… am I just a bot?
Oh god… I’m a bot.
And Google Gemini for the voice assistant is excellent fun!
Just being able to ask it weird and wonderful whilst on a road trip with the kids is worth the cost of a cheap Pixel phone alone!
Linking to some credible sources to refute the official statement would be appropriate to further the discussion and educate the curious! :-)
But I appreciate and read the Google Gemini AI generated response at the top of the page.
Also, I'm an iPhone user. But I have a Google Pixel phone for deve work.
I find myself now using 'Hey Google' a lot more because of the Gemini responses.
It's particularly fun playing with it with the kids on road trips as we ask it weird questions, and get it to reply in olde english, or speak backwards in French and so on!

Worth a click just to see how we used to live!
We have 22,000 litres of water stored, with pumps and filters. And we are on mains water too so it’s never used.
We also have 6,000 litres of water stored for fire fighting.
As do many other houses on our street and local area.
Then there is the solar and storage batteries…
We could go for a good while and we live in a metropolitan area!
Rural Australians could probably survive for longer as isolation is their life anyway LOL ;-)
How do you tell the difference?
MS need to advertise this feature more, because I'd never heard of it and assumed all the files on the PC were toast!
Of course, the fact that a script on Windows can be accidentally run and then quietly encrypt all the users files in the background is another matter entirely!
I suppose language requires a means of communication and someone to communicate to at a minimum. Although actually we think in a language so I guess we don’t need someone to communicate to.
Then maybe language creation just requires the right sort of thoughts?
Edit:
I should have read the article first LOL!
They say as much:
> "Language is both a cognitive system and a communication system," Miyagawa says. "My guess is prior to 135,000 years ago, it did start out as a private cognitive system, but relatively quickly that turned into a communications system."
Exactly!
As you learn a codebase, you and it become better together.
It can take a while, but the investment in understanding the stack you are working with does pay off.
Trying to shortcut junior devs to productivity is the plot to a cyberpunk horror movie!
