I'll take a crack at it. I liked using Cursor and it was my first introduction but my main editor is Emacs and I like Emacs, it has a bunch of configuration that has built up like barnacles on the bottom of a ship so it was kind of hard using VS Code. I use a project package (projectile) that allows me to quickly move between different projects (git repos, TRAMP sessions, anything really) and I can open a CC terminal there that I can have pop in and out as I need it. Really it's pretty similar to how I used Cursor.

Instead of being a prick like the other responder I'm going to give you a half informed understanding. Basically nothing. Lots of projects that are used on a daily basis in production have no maintainers. There is a web UI showing the number of Debian packages with no active maintainer.

Not that I don't believe that's entirely possible, but do you have a link to something demonstrating this behavior? A _very_ cursory google search didn't come up with anything immediately.

Like this article might just be for show but its the first thing that came up ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/developers/contribut...

That was my question as well. I'm wondering how much of a performance benefit the neural engine has on M series chips when compared to intel chips.

Love Marshall's stuff! I also suggest their Magic: The Gathering podcast [Limited Resources](https://lrcast.com) for those int TCGs.

Could I interest you in a Rotring 600? Keep in mind I haven't used either of those you listed.

Exactly, although I would never hit yes I think it is important to give customers the opportunity to make their own, educated choice.

In this case Swift is being used on the server, so that could be an officially supported platform[0] which if I recall correctly is macOS, Ubuntu, CentOS, Amazon Linux 2, and Windows as of Swift 5.3.

New comment by gganley in "Firefox 78"

gganley — Tue, 30 Jun 2020 17:19:43 +0000

So I'm on macOS using Safari for web browsing, chrome for work (web app + backend). I'm on the younger side so chrome has been omnipresent. I do not mean to understate the importance of privacy in the modern web, so don't misunderstand my question. Why would someone, as a developer and a user, want to use Firefox over Safari (mostly) and Chrome (for work).

Wait I see how Arch Linux is the first recommendation, what's the second exactly?
