Sorry, I was too harsh. Or to be more precise: I should not have directed my criticism only at this particular blog post. This topic is a hot mess. Yes, even the 2019 blog post announcing Async Rust [1] used the phrase: > On this coming

Claim-1: the async versus sync distinction cannot be meaningfully dissolved at the programmer level. Claim-2: async versus sync is a fundamental division in CS Discuss amongst yourselves. I lean towards thinking both are probably true (P~70

So far, after reading ~20 HN comments, I see one mention of something akin to "I verified this myself". Where are the people saying "Maybe this is true, but please tell me you considered other explanations first!" I try

The comment above has started a sh-tstorm. Please, slow down and learn about the details before jumping to conclusions. Most of us here did NOT "go pro" in the law. [1] For those that want to educate themselves, you could do worse

This language fits common SaaS templates. Let me illustrate by removing chunks and labeling them: Customer hereby grants Zed {{ broad list of rights }} solely: {{ for these purposes }} IANAL, but the term "solely&q

1. Yes, Zed is open source, you can build it yourself. 2. Telemetry defaults to on. So turn off telemetry as explained at https://zed.dev/docs/telemetry#configuring-telemetry-setting... "telemetry": {

If the idea of hiding extra Markdown elements or making it more WYSIWYG appeals to you, maybe we can put more eyes on some kind of feature request. I've seeing several comments come at this from different angles: ?id=47950471 ?id=47950

What's your favorite theme, maybe we can point you to something close? If you have any special needs or usability issues (colorblindness is common), that's probably relevant too. I use the default theme + the Catppuccin Icon Theme

I wish Zed had built-in APIs for extension developers to allow for more customizable text transformations. In particular, I want to write tools that have more control over what a buffer displays. Imagine a Markdown extension that gives Zed

Here is a top-level comment for people who want to post the things they wish Zed had. Request: please be sincere if you claim "the one thing that keeps me from using Zed is X" ... because let's face it, there is probably more

Thanks. Along those lines, here's a sort of thought experiment. Of said engineers who know a higher standard, say we teleported them into Anthropic, what are some likely scenarios? - How much time would they need to import their standa

As I understand Anthropic's recent retrospective, calling the models directly via API did not change; the problem was that the harness changed and this was not communicated well to users. Metaphorical reasoning is lossy, so talking abo

It seems to me you dropped the "gaslighting" claim without owning it. I personally find this frustrating. I prefer when people own up to their mistakes. Like many people, to me, "gaslighting" is just not a term you throw
