Sadly, I came back to using VS Code recently. There's a lot to like in Zed but imo that decision to write their own rendering framework is unfortunate, because of ridiculous problems in Linux still not resolved like poor font rendering

For example, one word which is a form derived from one of the basic swear words can be used to describe/express: 1) disastrous circumstances, 2) extreme surprise, 3) an end-game event making very negative prospects for the future. An a

Oh, Russian is exceptionally well built for swearing. It provides possibilities barely imaginable from the perspective of languages such as English because of how mutable and composable word structure is. With roughly the same base set of 3

Yes, I am using their Python SDK. But you can't just add MCP to your existing API server if it's not ready to async Python. Probably, you would need to deploy it as a separate server and make server-to-server to your API. Making a

So much scepticism in the comments. I spent last week implementing an MCP server and I must say that "well-designed" is probably an overstatement. One of the principles behind MCP is that "an MCP server should be very easy to

> But the LLM can think between writing each token Writing a token is the thinking itself. Thinking models just write some tokens behind the scene, that's the whole difference.

I mean I need to offload state of the puzzle being solved from my brain to an external memory device — paper, in this case. Keeping that state in my mind would be much harder. It's like some people can play chess within their minds wit

Generating text into the current context is not the same as writing down. It's the same as having a thought and putting it into short-term memory. An analogy for writing down would be sending something to an MCP server that provides co

I am so much out of sync with this idea that a text editor must be blazingly fast. The latency of processing my input was never an issue for me in text editors unless it was an obvious misbehaviour due to a bug or something. And 120Hz text

I had a similar experience when I decided to use a pencil and paper, along with a few simple rules, to manage my to-do lists. This method worked so well for me that I started thinking about the reason for its success. These are my conclusio

Yes, humans invented new ways to communicate with some obvious incredible results, but how much a single human is more intelligent than a single animal? Is this difference that big as we used to believe?

This app is awesome. The only minor complaint I have is that it does not handle long recordings well. For example, I left my phone near the window for an hour to identify as many birds as possible and the recording cannot finalize properly

The main difference between Vim and Helix is that Helix is not hackable at all. Its configuration allows only very basic settings. It is impossible to change almost anything in its behaviour. So it focuses on being good out of the box. Whet
