I'm just so extremely uninterested in a text editor whose main selling point is that it's an "AI code editor".

RTOSes I'm aware of call them tasks rather than processes, specifically because they don't provide the sort of isolation that a "proper" OS does.

The kernel OOM killer has never done an adequate job for me. It tends to hesitate to kill anything until the system has literally been completely 100% unresponsive for over half an hour. That's completely unacceptable. Killing a cgroup

It sounds like your primary issue is that you have a severe RAM deficiency for what you're trying to use your machine for. Any OOM killer, be it the kernel's per-process one or systemd-oomd's per-service one, only exists to t

You'd need something which better encapsulates the power level of a pokemon; move pools, abilities, typing and synergies all play a role. There are bad pokemon with a huge base stat total, and a hypothetical pokemon with a tiny base st

Not everyone speaks English though. The point of an official language is that the government makes it as convenient as possible living your life knowing only that language. It wouldn't be that unreasonable IMO to switch official langua

We will unquestionably reach more than twice the CO2 concentration of pre-industrial levels (which was around 280 ppm; we're at 424 ppm now, it'll increase to beyond 560 ppm in most not-super-optimistic projections). Do you really

I'm in Norway, I was once at the railway station and someone collapsed on the platform and needed medical attention. Conductors of both trains currently at the platform attended the person, so train traffic was delayed. The official re

I agreed with you initially, but is it really as big of a deal in C#? I'm used to compiled languages where "debug build" means "no compiler optimisations", aka every operation done with a variable is a memory load +

I don't understand this reasoning. Someone who doesn't care how things look may still have strong preferences based on how things work, no?

I think it's worse than that: we're now suffering being a "supported but deprioritised platform" for a cross platform GUI. AppKit was developed for the Mac from the ground up. All effort that went into it was to make the

I spend a lot of my time in Neovim in a terminal. I have spent a lot of time on the setup, but everything (including the theme and colors) is optimised for legibility, not aesthetics. Most of the rest of my time is spent in Firefox (well,

Rust is the only one I really know of. It's many things to many people, but to me as a C++ developer, it's a C++ with a better template model, better object lifetime semantics (destructive moves <3) and without all the cruft st

I think parts of Liquid Glass on macOS looks pretty bad. But I don't care that much about how things look, so it doesn't offend me. What does offend me are all the bugs, as you say. It's still utterly broken all these months

How do you return a file in the happy path when using a context manager? If you can't, it's not remotely "basically the same as C++ RAII".

by mort96 10mo ago
I agree with this. I don't dislike non-RAII languages (even though I do prefer RAII). I was mostly asking a rhetorical question to point out that it really isn't the same at all. As you say, it's not a RAII language, and you

What do you do if you wanna return the file (or an object containing the file) in the happy path but close it in the error path?

by mort96 10mo ago
That approach doesn't allow you to move the file into some long lived object or return it in the happy path though, does it?
