Contrary to that, I used Jetbrains IDEs for a decade, or even longer, and recently I have switched to VS Code for my Go and TypeScript work. Sometimes less is more.

Hahaha, this is so funny. Thank you for sharing. See also Nvidia culitho and its meaning in Spanish.

New comment by nedsma in "Exploring the impact of code style in identifying good programmers (2022)"

nedsma — Sat, 11 Feb 2023 12:27:48 +0000

Code style and code formatting introduce so much friction in modern .NET and Java development teams, that despite any advantage these might have due to their ecosystem maturing, it's more efficient and sane to avoid these languages altogether.

New comment by nedsma in "Paul Graham is leaving Twitter for now"

nedsma — Sun, 18 Dec 2022 20:07:47 +0000

Can't say about pg, but I left Twitter (I'm a regular, non-blue user) because the ads lately got out of control. Every other post is a promoted ad from a totally unrelated category, which I can't relate to. Ads targeting either stopped working, or Twitter allowed large numbers of low quality advertisers to push their ads.

Definitely one of the best World Cup finals ever. Even 1/2 finals were too good. Argentina deserved their win, I missed di Maria when they replaced him, and when it was 2:2, he couldn't be there when he was needed the most. The Polish referee did amazing job as well, one must say.

New comment by nedsma in "New motorcycle lighting design could save lives"

nedsma — Fri, 21 Oct 2022 07:14:45 +0000

Adventure motorcycle riders have been adding auxiliary lightning kits for a long time, for example, this BMW R1250: https://imgur.com/a/H0nYGIx.

The point being, according to studies, is that drivers gave auxiliary lighting equipped motorcycles a greater margin before pulling out on them. There are other studies which indicate that cars pull out on bikes as the driver perceives the motorcycle as a small thing, ergo it is far away and also less of a threat. A big triangle of three lights is much more dominant, it features in the view of the driver and is less likely to be ignored in a "micro glance".

Nowadays you can buy a great bike for $1000 and be totally satisfied with it, ride it for years, or you can shell out $15000 for the top of the line model. And I'm talking about regular bikes, not e-bikes.

Oh, I didn't know that. Tnx! For me, it meant the end of the game and it would require restarting the game. Next time I catch it, I'll see what it actually does.
