My gut feeling is that Claude Code being so popular is: - 60% just having a much better UX and having any amount of "taste", compared to Cursor - 39,9% being able to subsidize the raw token costs compared to what's being bill

Sorry, I misunderstood your question. I thought you meant "why couldn't they have done so in the first place, without ever giving themselves the ability to killswitch any apps at all, and just show a scary looking message?".

Cool, how do you propose people who _notoriously_ have trouble adhering to schedules, start and _stick to_ a "very rigid schedule"? If only there was something, like, some kind of pill that could help with it...

Having a plug that works differently based on the orientation it’s plugged in, feels like it would not quite be „keeping all the other goals of USB-C”.

>This is simply not true. The Kanji Kentei is probably the most popular Japanese language test Japanese people might take outside of school, and it tests writing heavily. I would not qualify Kanji Kentei as a "language test" an

Not the question you asked; but something that actually surprised me, as someone who has taken multiple language tests in the EU: The (semi-official) Japanese language tests do not test language production in _any_ way, even on the highest

This is a very silly argument. If one is seriously proposing abolishing kanji, surely "also let's add spaces where they make sense" is a much easier pill to swallow.

Notarisation is not supposed to check for things like this; but you certainly would not be able to ship this to the App Store.

Weirdly, this is something that Apple actually gets right - the little „previews” you get when sharing links in iMessage get generated client-side; _by the sender_. There are good reasons why you’d not want to rely on clients providing this

There are also no desktop 17” displays sold anymore, nor are there many 32” TVs around. Nobody makes 7” Eee PCs. Perhaps… just perhaps… people just like bigger screens and it’s not some kind of weird conspiracy theory?

You would also exclude everyone that is not a US resident; which might or might not be what you want. I would guess many (most?) of the places with this problem are actually fine with people that aren't living in the US; just not in No

That's fascinating response! Mona Lisa is, to me, _the_ example of an artwork that is actually better viewed online instead of in person. The painting is way smaller than you expect, it's always crowded with folks who want to take

I am happy to acknowledge I had a completely wrong knee-jerk reaction to your phrasing, and incorrectly assumed your "One has to wonder..." was meant as a suggestion of a solution, instead of instance of thinking out loud! Apologi

Maybe I'm overly strictly pattern-matching on the type of people that tend to use the phrase "one has to wonder"; but I don't think that's usually uttered from place of learning and exploration. If I'm wrong, t

It's baseless speculation by someone who doesn't have any relevant expertise, based purely on conjecture not any facts around the accident. It's _exactly_ the kind of comment that deserves to be downvoted here.

Xcode is probably like, one of the top… 3? 5? biggest macOS-native applications in the world. Making it cross-platform would require either reimplementing it from scratch, or doing a Safari-on-Windows level of shenanigans of reimplementing

You put a trusted intermediary (JP Post) that knows the address in the middle, and provide the seller with an identifier that the intermediary can associate with your physical address. That’s already how it works if you buy something trough
