Interestingly the linked article seems to be singing praises of VistA, though it's unclear whether the author has actually used the system themselves. They link to an unsourced article with that claims it tops reviews, but clicking thr

The tool and design of the tool matters a lot. I've used Codeium in VSC and GH Copilot in Intellij, and the experience (and quality) of the GH + Intellij paring is much better than Codeium + VSC. My biggest use for AI assistants has be

One question to ask yourself though is whether you're experience both confirmation bias and a bias brought about by visibility and/or age. If you're younger, you're less likely to know people with conditions that require

Even in non-monopoly situations, the world of free, high quality, developer eco-systems is relatively new. Console SDKs have always expensive even discounting that you had to buy/lease specialized hardware. For example, GameCube dev co

Worth noting at the time of “Developers, developers, developers” an MSDN subscription was about $2500 per year, or about $4.5k in today’s dollars, and I believe that was per seat. So developers footing the costs of the developer ecosystem i

While I can understand the annoyance at the change, if your perspective is that GitHub is just a server for a .git directory then why even bother with accessing it via a web browser in the first place. The git cli seems like it should be bo

I've told this story before, but I'll tell it again. I spent the first ~20 years of my life being right on the border of under-weight though no specific actions of my own. Yes I was more active as a youth but to put into context h

Ok, so what are the features missing from those OSes that iOS has that enable these anti-cheat capabilities and also that are also not dependent on Apple maintaining its strict control over what can and can't run on iOS?

And yet, desktop anti-cheat is a continual cat and mouse game more than any iOS anti-cheat conflict I've seen. One can argue that macOS, Linux and Windows are not sufficiently "well-designed" OSes for this purpose, but at tha

Two psychological mechanisms I can think of for this: It's one of the reasons why every company in the world wants you on auto pay. It's a lot easier to keep you as a customer through the price hikes if it's only a line item
