We're a team that has spent our entire careers building some of the most widely used developer tooling, infrastructure software, and AI systems.

Not being snarky. What AI systems have they built?

If you can afford to lose the data created between backups, sure.

Because it’s easier to work with one main language if you can get away with it.

You can replace Framework with Dell, HP, Lenovo in the title. Why pick on Framework?

Surprised Anthropic hasn't done anything to restrict Claude Code from using other providers.

The comments about LLM contributed code seems like a specific axe to grind that otherwise detracts from a nice history lesson.

Seems like an interesting fact for those who don't follow the development of vim/neovim.

Do you use x64 emulation with UTM? If so, how's the performance?

That's assuming Google can outpace Nvidia, which may or never will. Nvidia is not just going to sleep on it.

Unfortunately, Zed is years behind VSCode in terms of polish, Microsoft supported LSPs just work better in VSCode, they are better integrated, and Zed can't do anything about LSPs memory or peformance.

A personal Mac terminal emulator built for terminal-based AI work.

How exactly does it help with "terminal-based AI work"?

Is the $200k just development or are the products being developed require AI?

We can tell. Scrolling on that website feels heavy and lags.

Silly apple. They should remove airdrop and tell users they have to rely on an internet connection and use whatsapp or email for quick, one-off file transfers between their iphones and macbooks.

A code editor with a lot of rough edges. If they don't start polishing the turd I doubt the'll make it.

New comment by Scarbutt in "The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source"

Also, systemd is still pretty sketchy. It takes over 2 minutes for systemd services to start and if you close a WSL 2 terminal for just a few minutes systemd will delay a new terminal from opening for quite some time. This basically means disabling systemd to use WSL 2 in your day to day.

That doesn't sound good. I was planning to set up a Windows/WSL2 box, but this gives me second thoughts. Where can I read more about this?
