I'm not sure what to make of that either.

I was curious what the pricing for this is? Is it normal fly pricing for an instance, and is there any AI cost or environment cost?

And can it do multiple projects on different domains?

https://github.com/CopilotC-Nvim/CopilotChat.nvim is the best I've found for the chat-type interaction. It lets you choose models/etc.

It's still not quite as nice as cursor, but decent enough that I enjoy using them

You typically wouldn't just write a Genserver to hold state just to make it mutable (though I've seen them used that way), unless it's shared state across multiple processes. They're not used as pervasively as say classes in OOP. Genservers usually have a purpose, like tracking users in a waiting room, chat messages, etc. Each message handler is also serial in that you handle one mailbox message at a time (which can spawn a new process, but then that new process state is also immutable), so the internal state of a Genserver is largely predictable and trackable. So the only way to mutate state is to send a message, and the only way to get the new state is to ask for it.

There's a lot of benefits of that model, like knowing that two pieces of code will never hit a race condition to edit the same area of memory at the same time because memory is never shared. Along with the preemptive scheduler, micro-threads, and process supervisors, it makes for a really nice scalable (if well-designed) asynchronous solution.

I'm not sure I 100% agree that watching mutating state requires a function to observe it. After all, a genserver can send a message to other processes to let them know that the state's changed along with the new state. Like in a pub-sub system. But maybe he's presenting an over-simplification trying to explain the means of mutability in Elixir.

People talk about not needing to type fast when coding, but I do need to navigate quickly, especially to not lose context while thinking. Ivy/Helm/Telescope with one of the various jump libraries (and LSP of course) makes code navigation feel second nature.

xdebug, while it works, also feels antiquated. Trying to get it working in a new system or project can take quite a while. Again, compared to python or node's debugging experience or profiling experience, and it feels like something stuck out of the 90s.

Even just getting output from php is difficult for me. Maybe it's because of the webserver I'm using? But python, elixir, node, go, etc, all output logs to stdout while running a local service. Maybe that'd work with the built in webserver, but fpm or modphp, etc, it seems like you have to hunt down logs.

Not to mention that the dev servers almost always require a full apache or nginx setup just to function. Opposed to a node, elixir, python, or go server which all run directly from the directory you're in. (Including things like hot/auto reloading in node and elixir)

I'm not a full time php dev, but my time in php always feels like a grind, and just getting tooling working is not an easy thing. If I'm missing some state of the art alternatives, I'd love to hear them though.

1. I appreciate open and friendly discussion with people who don't think like me. The atmosphere, even of /r/conservative is very different than something like truth social. I don't want to be in an echo chamber, and the content from the echo chamber seems tailored to click-bate. i.e. "Watch X DESTROY Y with Logic", or conspiracy theories. I read a variety of news, and I don't need another source for it, but would rather watch discussion unfold about different topics by people who may have different opinions as well.

2. I use Reddit primarily for tech, gaming, programming, gamedev, and programming language related topics or other unrelated things like woodworking or bushcrafting. I like the community-based paradigm to social media for that reason, and that content is almost entirely lacking on conservative social networks.

3. I'm not really a Trump supporter. Truth social I believe is also relatively dead, but I've never joined so I can't verify that.

4. Free speech is extremely important to me. Trolling, hating,etc, should be moderated, but a dissenting opinion written respectively should not be, in my opinion. I'm not sure that Truth Social has reputation as a free speech platform. Reddit as a platform has largely been a free speech platform. Independently moderated subreddits have not. But Lemmy instances seem like they're going to take a stance against any communities or instances that don't fit the ideology.

There is value in open debate and conversation, but it does seem like Lemmy is intended to be a walled left echo chamber. I'm curious if your question is reflective of others' opinions as well, in that they'd prefer people not like them ideologically would just go to their own spaces and leave others alone

Any advice for a conservative Christian trying to find a reddit alternative or Lemmy instance that also doesn't want to be moderated or banned into oblivion (or de-federated because of trolls which I do not represent)? As many conservatives know, even joining /r/conservative and not posting on reddit was enough to entirely be banned from many communities that have nothing to do with politics. Walking into another similarly prejudiced social network (but at a platform level) doesn't sound like fun to me.

But there are some things that aren't quite right. It may be down to config, but it's frustrating when you use a key binding you expect to work that doesn't work the way it does in just vim. I can't name any specifics because I only use vscode for debugging sometimes.

The sound engineer interviews in that article are interesting though, and they seem to be blaming Nolan and the mixing as well.

I also get wanting to turn them down. I've been in theaters so loud that my ears were ringing after the movie, or were actively hurting during certain scenes. The Dark Knight was one of those. It could also just be poor settings at the local cinema in that case as well though.

Given the vast majority of movies are understandable, I just wish Nolan would mix with that goal in mind given I would actually enjoy his movies most of the time if it just weren't for the muffled speech and sound.

Nolan himself has tried to make this argument, he's trying to invoke sub-bass frequencies, that his goal was never for movies to be understandable, and that it was an artistic choice that maybe the audience doesn't have to understand everything.

I'm all for artistic integrity and him being able to do whatever he wants, but I'm also ok with calling Nolan wrong on this one. I have no interest in seeing his films if audio clarity is not one of his goals in film-making. It breaks immersion (real life isn't unintelligible and mumbled), it isn't an enjoyable experience for me, and frankly I think is poor decision making on his part. I'm ok with calling Nolan wrong, hand-wavy artistic stuff aside.
