it looks like some kind marketing push or 'growth hack', just to get some viral thing around which justify why do you extra reason to pay for Claude or Tailscale subscription.

I personally not even convinced that Claude Code any better on average than something like Aider+Gemini 3 or other good model. May be in some specific cases it actually better but in those Aider+'Antropic Model via API' most likely will work too.

is one of the issues of modern web as it's optimized for quick most efficient reading, but something like this website is more optimized for slow thoughtful experience. Like some of the books about art history where you not only trying to get extract meaning of words but trying imagine how that time felt and try look on things from different perspective or different values.

From what I heard, even if a person is an EU citizen and does not have dual citizenship but was born in some ex-USSR/CIS countries. For example, if they migrated with their parents at the age of 1y, they will always be considered a higher-risk client by EU banks and will always be under some suspicion. So if that true is not possible to stop being related at least fully.

another issue with kotlin, because it encourage Java ecosystem usage like Spring is not much differentiation that could drive adoption.

Scala but it's on JVM (also is https://scala-native.org without JVM but that not really has big user base)

same, and those 2 plugins together completely eliminated need for tmux/zelij locally

yeah, and sometime it getting really ridicules: N years of experience in language doesn't count if no libraries from approved list was used.

I'm switching a lot between Sonnet and Gemini in Aider - for some reason some of my coding problems only one of models capable to solve and I don't see any pattern which cold give answer upfront which I should to use for specific need.

I'm not sure about bots but it looks like they have real peoples on payroll or who paid per comment or something like that. And they trying push narrative 'use it now or you will be left behind' on every place where someone could share experience of using ai tools.

In most cases is enough to have emacs installed as part of OS with all required general cli tools and then open project specific shell with all project dev dependencies like compilers and libs.

However is some cases when it could be little more tricky, for instance I'm using LSP for Scala (https://scalameta.org/metals/) which on start trying to automatically detect JDK version for project from environment. So if my project depends on JDK 11 it might required for me manually start LSP from nix-shell to force it use right JVM version.

With Rust is in someway similar, I need to bring some shell with 'rust up' setup so it could install everything for rust-analyzer then emacs can use it.

Regardless emacs itself is few options to manage emacs packages in nix way but for me it not really gives anything so I just use it as on any other OS.

I was involved in mobile game development for several years, but I’m no longer active in that field. In my opinion, one of the reasons they do this is to maximize Ad revenue. In this case, it’s obvious that if you see this warning on your product page, the quick fix would be to spend money on Ads to gain a few more users as soon as possible. This also creates a competitive bidding situation across the market, as more developers buy ads, forcing others to do the same to keep up.

just in case, another opensource project using same name https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Dia/

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/dia

at same time you don't wanna to ask bank for permission to spend your money every time:

"Can I buy some milk today? No!, let's visit our branch first and give some papers which will require significant time/effort to get for you."

Most just not experiencing things like this but once that happen it is hard to ignore this possibility.

I found Fauna very interesting from a technical perspective many years ago, but even then, the idea of a fully proprietary cloud database with no reasonable migration options seemed pretty crazy at the time. I thought maybe they had some good source of very specific niche customers who fine with that, but it seems even if that was true it wasn't enough for a grow.

Really hope that something useful will be open sourced as result.

thanks, good to know.

anyway, if one of the majors tiling wm managers struggling to share specific window it looks like it could be more edge cases like that. Probably, I can deal with those things but I fully understand struggle of this article author so just wanna upgrade to it when possibility of struggle will be minimal for me.

I thought moving from i3/x11 to sway/wayland but from this post is looks like screen sharing still not resolved yet completely on wayland. How much time is worth to wait until UX with wayland will be good enough to not worry about that kind stuff?

I use both, while Obsidian is good and has lot in common but for some reason org-mode still feels more useful and permanent. If it something important for me personally I most likely will put it in 'org' but if I just need write something of temporary nature like documentation peace for work I might prefer Obsidian for that. Also org-mode TODOs/agenda stuff very helpful for triage of tasks and prioritization (I think it's just habit that has some 'migration' cost so I not really considering it as big benefit over other tools)

looks like they already removed all of those. I just opened saved playlist and found that non videos available.

You can only use IDEA when you need to do major refactoring or debugging, which isn't that frequent on average. There's nothing special about navigation in IDEA that text editors can't do.

IDEs aren't perfect - they often have performance issues, new bugs with every update and do confusing things like marking completely valid code as errors. One of the reasons why I stopped using IDEA after many years of being a fanboy is that I found these unexpected behaviors and bugs getting in the way of actual work. For example, you might reopen your project in the morning to find out that everything that worked perfectly in the evening is suddenly broken, and then you have to spend half the day reinstalling previous versions of plugins and cleaning caches. While editors might be a bit simpler, they're always works reliably.

>At work we are forced to use a specific IDE. It's a niche programming language not supported by any other software.

yes, sometimes is no any choose.

not sure how much worse it than original but mistral-small:22b-instruct-2409-q2_K seems works on 16GB VRAM GPU

I also bought a 10+ year old Denon amplifier and overall it's great, but over time it developed some minor issues with components like Alps potentiometers and switches. Unfortunately, Alps doesn't produce some of those parts anymore (like the ones discussed here: https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/source-for-alps-a...), so it's really not easy to source parts for repairs. It would be nice if you could simply ask the manufacturer to sell these components to you directly.

one good thing that I heard about McIntosh, is that even after 10-20 years of owning it, you can contact their support to buy some spare parts for fixing, and they will sell and even would be helpful to figure out what exactly needed (even in case if you are not original buyer). Unlikely that Bose would be interesting continue doing that kind of level of support.

emacs artist mode also suitable for something like that

sure that the case in lot of countries but is something really wrong with idea to have 2+ clients as minimum because reason why work done in that way is because person doing it don't wanna agree on terms that 'employment' contract is required and if that 'single' client is gone he always can get another one in few months. Sometimes you work with few clients in single year but sometimes it just one for 2-3y. And worth part that in some places taxes on self-employment might be higher.

noise actually not that bad with some bios configuration tricks - I used to run dell r720 and r420 together with ~20 HDDs near my desk table and most of the day noise was close to some non-silent gaming PC/workstation. Only problem was if is some need to reboot it, in that case it just blow fans to full power and it's loud like vacum cleaner that you for sure don't wanna to use at middle of the night.

almost at any place that rate is not really stable over time and overall if you have something close to 65-70% then it's probably just average situation.

From my experience places where more programing happening are: - mid-big companies where you role could be very specialized - small companies with focus on creating tech products or where tech has lot of impact on end customers (like if fixing few bugs could instantly lead to making additional money for a company)

Companies from non-tech word usually value non-coding stuff much more.

(I currently have about 50/50 rate and sometimes even less)

mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1 responses - which seems much better:

>>There are 31 books in my house. I read 2 books over the weekend. How many books are still in my house?

You still have 31 books in your house. The number of books doesn't change because you finished reading two of them; they're just no longer unread.

>>Julia has three brothers, each of them has two sisters. How many sisters does Julia have?

Julia has one sister.

Here's the logic behind this:

1. We know that Julia has three brothers. 2. Then we are told that each of her brothers has two sisters. 3. Since all four children (Julia and her brothers) share the same parents, they also share the same siblings. 4. Therefore, if each of Julia's brothers has two sisters, then there must be only one other sister besides Julia herself.

>> If you place an orange below a plate in the living room, and then move the plate to the kitchen, where is the orange now?

The orange is still in the living room, as moving the plate does not affect the location of the orange.

why your website looks like some unfinished template with lot of Lorem Ipsum things?

it's monopoly, in professional setting in most cases is no possibility to use something else even if alternative tools is better for your specific task. It really similar to case of MS Word decades ago, now we have choose but not in the past.

Figma had chance to grow later to level where it could become Adobe competitor, now it's no hope that would be any competition any time soon.

Just to illustrate why I think that. Usually Adobe software used for everything so is no escape in most cases, but Figma became so widespread in popular specific case so it could really transform situation in way: use Adobe for everything but for UI/Web use only Figma. In that way everybody become committed enough to Figma ecosystem and they as company can start offering new tools which will able to capture Adobe businesses bit by bit.

view point in article mostly from an user perspective, but if same stuff would be reviewed from companies perspectives most of that negatives has positive effects for marketing/sales needs which probably a reason why is so widespread.

It's like: our visitor can't just see our half page table with tech spec to know everything, he should go trough 20 images on 2 long pages and during that we will show him all our 'important' messages that he won't be interested otherwise.
