Idk what has changed, but I used PyCharm like 10 years ago and it was fine. Way faster than other IDEs in fact. I only stopped cause I switched to vim.

Eh, haven't needed it. Especially now that there are AI coding agents, but even before that. If I really wanted to run some static analysis in IntelliJ, always had the option to do it separately from my real editor.

JVM settings are always wrong no matter what, it's impressive

Haven't used an IDE ever since I got used to vim and installed some basic plugins like YCM. Everything else feels too slow.

Oh I didn't mean open source, it can be a binary (if applicable), but same problem, they'd need to provide a way to run the online servers locally. The third option is a refund, which isn't feasible.

Sucks, but it's the cost of having different standards. Same thing happens trying to import random cars to the US.

Idk if this makes it better or worse, but I won't fight to the death over open source/hardware, I've got Apple stuff. It's also not the same thing because computers don't pollute like cars.

Yeah the desire makes sense. The Macs are very nice hardware. You can get a mobo/case that's not much larger than the GPU itself, but it's still clunky. It's just, unfortunately eGPUs are unlikely to become more than a c

Mac lets you run any software you want, but I understand the principle of not wanting to support them.

Thunderbolt still doesn't provide the full PCIe bandwidth, but even if it did, I'd want PCIe itself. I don't trust the encapsulated version over Thunderbolt to work the same. Virtualized Linux would be ok though. That's

New Zealand sounds unreasonable. It's reasonable in like California. They don't mandate yearly checkups, just smog testing which is every 2 years for cars older than 8 years.

Was going to say, you only hear stories from the relatively few people who have issues, not the people who go in and out as usual.

It would basically mandate subscription model for online games. Also wonder if it'd introduce legal risk for online mode in a game that also has local play, say Call of Duty or the newer Super Smash Bros, or if "ordinary use"

It would be fair in general to disallow charging a one-time fee for something that's shut down soon later. I don't expect perpetual support, but there should be some target based on the price that any well-intended software maker

Upfront purchase for something that depends on online services to work raises some questions. The problem with the bill is they want either literally infinite support or an open source server in the end. It'd make sense if there were s

Maybe they don't, but I get it. Optimizing for lower emission doesn't mean highest reliability, or even necessarily highest fuel economy. Emissions parts can fail and be expensive to replace. That doesn't mean people should b

The answer is I wouldn't buy a TV that depends on online services. Just like I already wouldn't buy a video game like that, unless maybe it's very cheap. Some people do it anyway because it's still way less bad than the

Modern trucks, even with emissions controls, are more powerful than anything older. Engines are more reliable if anything, though there are plenty of pesky non-engine electronics ruining the useful lifespans of modern cars. If you're t

I don't really care how it affects car modders or people with sports cars. I have a sports car, and yeah the California smog test has been super annoying cause of electrical problems with that are unrelated to its actual emissions, but

These drivers aren't in critical situations, and their mods aren't designed for that

That would suggest the users are defendants. They supposedly just want witnesses. I had another comment questioning this though.
22.
by traderj0e 4mo ago
That's a good point, but it looks like the top-selling used cars are trucks and SUVs too. It's possible on the face of it that this is just because they retain less value than efficient cars and buyers are weighing that vs the cos

I care about the topic from a legal and technical standpoint and am interested to see the outcome, just have no skin in the game and no sympathy for the industry or a bunch of children (both literal and figurative) who will whine whichever

They still sell plenty of games as a one-time $60 purchase. Though instead of owning a physical copy, you might only have a key to some DRM system.

I don't buy that those are actually clean. EU has always had majority high-MPG non-diesel cars that you also don't see here as often, simply because gas is cheap in the US. People complain that it's expensive but then 2/

They want testimonies to use against the app. The solution they're trying to pursue is to outlaw the app, not investigate its users.

by traderj0e 4mo ago
So if someone used this app to do something illegal with his car (rolling coal or otherwise), is he really going to testify in court that he did this? The lawsuit is only against EZ Lynk, but it's conceivable that he could face his own

I still don't like Markdown. Basic things like newlines and bullets are tricky. Even the LLMs get it wrong often. It's hard to read without a viewer. The default viewers usually render it with tons of whitespace for no reason. Wil

Honestly the DEI in private universities was a huge loss of credibility. But they've changed that.
