<p>Oh man, I even read all the comments and <i>still</i> couldn't find it when I finally clicked on the image link. Terrible UX.<p>cc: @apenwarr (tailscale founder), might want to have someone fix this and move the close button to the top right of the modal, not the bottom right.</p>

<p>This is a more all-included and resilient system, especially for logging, than just opening a VPN port. I do a lot of corporate installs, and if we had a system like Tailscale then I would be in heaven. The amount of user-created systems are heinous in regards to security, and hard to setup and keep running. Tailscale lets you setup quickly, and reliably with minimal errors OOTB.<p>If you feel that tailscale will fold, or the free plan will be future limited, then you can drop in headscale which is a near 1:1 API open source tailscale central server.<p>If you <i>always</i> want to be open source and not rely on API changes or staying up to green on the headscale development (made by a third party), then you can set up netbird, which is both hosted (for free) as an alternative to Tailscale more tailored for developers, but they also open-sourced their entire stack, so you can always leave and use that on your own servers.</p>

<p>Latency, FPS, efficiency. The LSPs while beefy, are not part of the overall efficiency and are used as sub processes, so if they fail or are sluggish, they won't affect how the editor runs, if you don't want to use LSPs, then you can go ahead and disable those.<p>Zed is one of the few editors, that like Sublime, are really focused on efficiency, using minimal resources (when needed) and the latency and FPS of the editor is bounds better than VS Code. It just works, better.</p>

<p>> Last time I used zed for go development it spawned nodejs servers (downloaded without asking for permission!) for god knows what.<p>LSPs, they are snagging the LSPs made by other developers for languages you are using. if you install any LSP or language support in VSCode its running the same thing. It only installs when you are using a language that has default support such as Rust, Python (which I believe uses a Node.js LSP), Go (same as Python), etc.</p>

Many of her longest friends that she still talks with daily she met through MS2 and the various other MUDs such as Aardwolf.<p>MUDs are truly wonderful, and I hope they have a resurgence in some form soon.<p><a href="https://midnightsun2.org/" rel="nofollow">https://midnightsun2.org/</a></p>

<p>And one of the fun things about how unwrap() does that automatically, is that if you are working with an orchestrator with retry logic, you won't need to (re-re-re-re-re-)write your own for the entire program - the orchestrator will see the error, log its output, and try again in high volume workloads, or move on to the next request - this is incredible and nice to use especially when a failure in one request doesn't need to fail the entire application for all requests.<p>I shy away from unwrap() in almost all cases (as should anyone!) but if you are running a modular system, then unwrap when placed strategically can be incredibly useful.</p>

<p>You may be shocked by this, but comrade has been in use since the French Revolution, in fact it doesn't mean "friend" like most think - it quite literally means "fellow party-member", someone who is a member of the same party. You, yourself, are comrades with your fellow party members, <i>even</i> if they are not communist. Even if you go to the root of the word, it's Spanish in origin. It's an egalitarian/gender neutral word similar to 'colleague' or "coworker" but effectively it _just_ means "ally" in modern parlence.<p>Even if you require the link to communism, 'comrade' in the popular sense _is_ used by _socialists_ to describe one another, not just for communists, communists are just a subset ideology of socialism. Similar to anarchists, progressives, and more on the umbrella of "the left", communists are just another branch on the tree of ideologies, and as a branch, they used their mother's language of comradery to describe their fellow party-members and allies.<p>You can always admit when you are prejudiced by assumptions, you know, so I hope you take an interest in reading this article: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comrade" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comrade</a><p>Edit:<p>> The distinctions between socialism and communism are rather academic and irrelevant in the long run<p>That's quite literally the biggest difference between socialism and communism, the long run. Communists want a communist society as the end-goal of socialism; Socialists do not have that hope, in fact most are not focused on the end goal as we can't ever ascertain what that would look like - so they focus on the values of socialist ideas right now, what we can do <i>now</i> to ensure equality, freedom, and personal rights by protecting all living beings in health and sickness, success and failure. A society of equals first.</p>
