No other editor or app that I use on macOS looks like this. None. This is not just AA, I like properly AA’d text.

While the C calling convention continues to rule operating systems and FFIs, I think it’ll continue to limp along. Hopefully one day that can be fixed, it’s annoying that C is what I have to reach for to call SomeLib no matter what language

The only editor integration I think is semi useful is wiring it into Diagnostics/Problems data that the editor has from extensions. Speeds up the agents flow quite a bit when it leans on that to check its work vs always executing (say)

I know this is silly but the biggest thing that’s driving me away from it is how god awfully blurry it looks on my 1440p screen :/

Oh this is so sad. I was literally trying to buy a license for Photo the other day and confused as to why. I don’t want a Canva license I don’t want a bloody subscription

I am, but in a very narrow focus: mostly examining our existing codebase as a more powerful but fuzzier search, and a system to then generate a plan to implement and approach which I tweak. I sometimes use it to scaffold out some boilerplat

So this doesn't help for iOS, but through the power of WINE and other cool tools, you actually can: https://gamehub.xiaoji.com/ These are especially great on the various Android based gaming handhelds that are out now

Exactly. I'm no longer even a semi-pro photog, but these days I even just plug in a USB-C SD reader into my iPhone and upload them that way, it's quite nice really. No corruption yet for me, but I only shot a thousand photos on my

Eh, there’s some that are perfectly meh and are useful for texture reasons. I don’t really bother with them, but “abomination” is quite amusing me.

They can’t be, because the FAANG (or whatever we call them today) companies are de facto a part of the US government (with the context of some other country trying to break them up) Antitrust that is nonexistent is far more harmful.

Antitrust is and has been dead for a long time at this point. It’s not coming back, to the detriment of society.

Not that I care either way, but China is far larger in economy, military and population than Russia is. So "largest adversary" is correct, and it doesn't take away from the danger that Russia's government continues to po

The only thing I dislike is what it chooses to test when asked to just "generate tests for X": it often chooses to build those "straitjacket for your code" style tests which aren't actually useful in terms of catc

They have done it, and the west (over half the US states, the UK and Australia at a bare minimum) have entirely ceded any moral high ground regarding it.
