Ladies and gentlemen, this is what we're dealing with. Zero. Critical. Thought. This is the same kind of brainwashed lie that I keep seeing from Trump supporters everywhere. There seems to be absolutely zero self awareness, as if the very things they're saying don't actually enter into their consciousness for any kind of logical analysis. This guy has zero idea how idiotic what he just said is. He will go on to believe that all the downvotes are from those with "Trump Derangement Syndrome".

Tell me, if the American workforce is living in tents and addled with drugs, give me some numbers. How many? And you think that we are going to do what? Make the homeless work in the iPhone factories? Is that what you're suggesting?

Yeah that sounds like a good idea

I know that, once but once you install that you will not be able to praise VS Code performance anymore, you just get an inferior Intellij IDE in all dimensions.
symlinkk · 4 months ago
Not all dimensions. VSCode’s Remote SSH is better and UI is better. To me that’s worth the trade offs.

Intellij is an IDE where VS Code is a bit mroe then a text editor. When you open a project for the first time it takes time because it is indexed , maybe it will index your dependencies if you did not bother to disable that.

IWhen i open a file /project from a collegue that uses VS Code is filled with errors and warnings because their VS code text editor is not actually understanding the code they are editing.

People that say this are completely out of touch. You know there are VSCode extensions for Java (made by Oracle and Redhat themselves), right? Once you install that you get Intellisense, debugging, etc. Same with C#, Python, etc.

I gave them a year of subscriptions before cancelling recently, the devcontainer implementation in their Ultimate versions is laughably bad, bugs upon bugs and tickets where their support staff just bounces it up with "still no fix" messages and customers are finding workarounds, i.e. downgrading docker installs.

Remote SSH is terrible too, handles network latency spikes by repeating keystrokes. I remember spending an evening trying to fix something in the integrated shell and giving up, but sadly forgot what. I like what they do with Go though. Anyway, back to nvim here, not for me.

+1, the Remote SSH is horrible. Takes forever to connect and is extremely laggy once you have connected. Feels like they’re practically streaming video of the UI back to you instead of VSCode’s Remote SSH which feels indistinguishable from running locally.

I see home prices in Dallas are down by about 10% from peak.

Austin is down 20%. Doesn’t make sense to me. I keep hearing “they overbuilt” - so what, none of the builders saw this coming either?

How is this legal? I thought you could not use streamed music commercially? If you’re a DJ making money on a gig you’d be violating that law.

In tech, I have found the best way to stand out is a personal technical blog. Write about things you’ve worked on. Doing is the best way to learn, and writing about doing is the second best way to show you know. (The first is a demo.)

The LinkedIn feed problem can be solved by not going to the feed.

Good way to have your knowledge fed into an LLM.

I disagree - if you move fast and break things then people die. The human body is not a single well-understood system; everyone is different in subtle ways, which incidentally is why personalised medicine is becoming a thing.
symlinkk · 6 months ago
People die if you move too slow too.

Crazy how slow medicine progresses compared to technology.
