Oh I'll have to try that. Zed looks woeful on my 1440p monitor when I was trying it at work, which is a shame because I quite like it otherwise.

Ah I see you're one of those who would enable `UserManager.DISALLOW_FUN`! I personally quite enjoy a bit of whimsy in code. What we do (mostly) isn't that serious (modulo those, including me once upon a time, who work on literal l

To be fair, tonic water (with some gin in it) tastes a lot better than quinine pills!

Oh 100%. I deliberately passed no judgement on the actual main points, as my experience is quite literally in between both of theirs. I find agent mode incredibly distracting and it does get in the way of very deep focus for implementat

It’s quite amusing to see you complain about patronisation, and then see you turn about and do it yourself one comment later.

Deeply, deeply so. In fact so much so that people who suggest them show they've (luckily) not had to interact with the legal system much. Judges take an incredibly dim view of that kind of thing haha

It would be very hard to change technically, yes. But that's not the only solve. It's easy to change the words we use instead to make it clear to users that the data isn't irrevocably deleted.

Weird, I always read it as more than that due to the karma threshold! The more you know :)

While I'm still a skeptic (despite my Cursor usage at work), I still absolutely agree. Careful review has never been 10x more difficult than writing the code, I'm not sure where this comes from. And I've had about the same ex

That's wild to me, the last time I had to swipe my card here in Australia was sometime in the early 2010s! Heck a lot of the terminals here can't swipe a card at all

It is enough to run the dynamically quantised 1.56 bit version I believe, which is fun to play around with.

If you believe that single sentence (that I disagree with him about, but that's neither here nor their) is the entire point of the article, I'd really suggest you read it again, it's far more interesting than that.

I passed no judgement for or against, merely discussed that it was likely to happen. I suggest you yourself take a second and explore why you think being smarmy on the internet is a way of getting people to agree with you.
