You are implying that a law is being broken, but isn't this the equivalent of going to city hall to pull public land records?

What are you disagreeing with exactly, are you trying to argue against testing? Are you trying to argue that using a library protects you from bugs somehow?
You stay away from something you don't understand after 10 years of working with it? What kind of logic is that? Channels aren't magic.
Subtle bugs in what? Have you considered that maybe you have bugs because you aren't writing tests?
If you aren't unit testing that stuff, then how are you able to fix/change things and know it is resolved?
My experience is that I built a binary that had to run perfectly on 30,000+ servers across 7 data centers. It was full of concurrency. Without a litany of automated tests, there is no way that I would have trusted this to work... and it worked perfectly. The entire deployment cycle was fully automated. If it passed CI, I knew that it would work.
It wasn't easy, it took a lot of effort to build that level of testing. But it was also totally bug free in production, even over years of use and development.
You asserted that bugs are hard if you write unit tests. The parent stated that some issues only occur under production load and a unit test will not catch it. Nowhere was it implied that unit tests are useless.
Perhaps a less defensive posture might invite more discussion.

We actually are in agreement, especially re pluggability.
Whether it's an extension or "AI first", the impact of AI on IDE's will be massive and an IDE that doesn't do it well will be barely used.
You’re actually not in agreement, because “AI first” would imply it being a core feature of the IDE/Editor, something like Zed, whereas a plugin would imply that I can ignore it and it not being a core part of said IDE/Editor.

so it's the year 2000, right. you got home from school, you're at 6th grade. saw your sweetheart and got fired up all day. summer's around the corner, it's been a pretty good day. a friend at school told you about napster, you download it and install it. you are amazed. you login to icq and wait for her to come online. in the meanwhile you search for some metallica and limp bizkit. it's insane! everything you search is there. you just have to be patient. you download nothing else matters, start playing it. she logs in and says hi, already missed you. and nothing else matters..

We are experiencing exponential growth in the last week, going from 1 user to 2.
100% week over week growth is nothing to sneeze at

What is the current state of crystal toolchain? Last time I used it I really enjoyed the language but the compilation times were a bit of a turn off.

I use mosh and gnu screen for flaky connections. Works wonders even if you disconnect every 10 seconds.
Mosh is indeed glorious, esp when tethering over a spotty mobile connection. I just wish they would support gpg forwarding, otherwise chefskiss.
Not sure how this is newsworthy, there are many quad display thunderbolt 4 docks on the market and some have been available for ages: https://dancharblog.wordpress.com/2024/01/01/usb4-tb4-docks/...
Perhaps this is an opportunity to launch craftkillernews where you only post things that are new to you.
edvinbesic commented on U.S. sues Apple, accusing it of maintaining an iPhone monopoly nytimes.com/2024/03/21/te... · Posted by u/jcfrei
You seem to totally misunderstand the whole concept of what the competition law is about.
It's not about whether people can choose not to buy an iPhone, really at all. It's about once they do choose iPhone, is Apple unfairly using their control of the platform to influence whether they choose Apple's product vs a competitor for future things they buy.
Seems to me that if I already own an Android device and am in the market for a tablet, I would probably choose Android again because a lot of the apps that I have bought & paid for include a tablet version as well. Not sure if most would consider that anti-competitive.
What is the difference? Using polite words to communicate?
