I think it’s just how you’re framing it. It sounds like you’re saying that people using Jetbrains free IDEs are somehow just missing some objective truth you are aware of. If someone prefers Pycharm CE, it’s quite condescending to say « the

If I had to guess, there probably isn’t any direct monitoring of commercial-ness in the IDE, but also guessing there’s Jetbrains employees watching for public statements that mention/screenshot a Jetbrains product and will contact the

> JetBrains fanboys won't understand or acknowledge that… If a tool works for them, then it works. I don’t think that’s a lack of understanding on their part. If the opposing view is « clearly VSCode is objectively the only choice »

Jetbrains does do one thing slightly differently from most "subscription to own" things. You’re only entitled to the version that was current when you last paid your bill. Depending on your billing cycle, this could be the latest

Just FYI, for anyone that didn't notice (like me at first), words in a dashed box are links! There's a description of dayshapes, and lots more info about semaphore on other pages.

I can understand this, I'd probably describe the effect as being "more awake" if I do a crossword puzzle AND a walk in the morning, vs one or the other. I really can't quantify that at all, and I think this study had a b

Neat! Though I feel like this needs to be "integrated" into something else to achieve full potential. I think a lot of people end up falling down wikipedia rabbit holes (me included!) and something where my browser can provide the

I think that might come from OOP's middle-era in xtreme-programming and early agile. A lot of focus on mapping user stories to classes/CRC diagrams, which eventually get mapped to some specific file/bytes on disk. Pretty expl

OH yeah I can imagine. Now you have your glasses about to smush into your eyes, your vision is blurry, the quest is probably making some "about to sleep" sound now because you're trying to pull your glasses away, which the he

To be fair, this will be fixed by browsers when it's within spitting distance of the scale of numbers setTimeout is normally used with. (not huge numbers) Like, if it's close enough that setTimeout(() => {}, 5000) will stop wor

I do get that, just saw the "test" op, to either pass or fail the whole change as a sort of transaction. That is really neat. But I just find that the 1 by 1 approach is easier to reason about if you're opening this up to the

I'm probably missing a use case here, but with the JSON Pointer spec they use feeling so "URL-y", couldn't you skip the whole meta-json syntax? So rather than doing HTTP/1.1 PATCH /user Content-Type:

Just out of curiosity, what was the use case for a really long timeout? Feels like most if not all long timeouts would be best served with some sort of "job" you could persist, rather than leaving it in the event queue.

One place where this has saved me is trying to type in my VRChat password, on a standalone Quest 3 headset. The tedium of trying to type in a password in VR with a virtual keyboard, while having the headset slid up onto my forehead juuuust

I also wonder if they could still base it off SVG, but just append to the spec for their own new format. It's just XML under the hood right? They already have all of the complex parsing set up for SVG XML documents. If svgx files or wh

My grandparents had a crokinole board! I'd say it's definitely a known game among older generations around southern ontario, but much less common with younger folk. It's really fun though, and families that do play it can get

Not everything is a conspiracy, sometimes things are just posted at the magic time for them to be noticed. You can always post a link again if you think it needs a second chance right?

I use Hey.com's "catch all" inbox for this but it's a bit janky. If you set up a "custom domain" Hey account, you can actually email `[anything]@yourdomain.com` and it'll arrive in the catch all inbox. (No

It definitely looks to be made of a metal. To be fair, I'm just basing that off the texture and specular highlights in the photos. It's pretty similar looking to the iMac's case in one of their photos.

Totally agree, if JS had further leaned into it's smalltalk-y-ness and ended up with dynamism similar to Ruby for example, I'd actually be really happy with it personally. True message passing and more metaprogramming features all

Under the hood, the bones of that system are there! `PATCH` is a HTTP verb for a reason. Though making the web this big publicly editable pile of documents would create a lot of spam. You already have to filter a lot if you have a form on a
