One of the reasons why I'm not fully switching yet is a Zed's inability to update the currently open file with changes made elsewhere [1].
All the other editors I use are aware of outside changes, but not Zed. And I'm just not willing to close and reopen the file to get fresh contents. Eventually, I'll forget to do it and lose some work.
How do other editors handle this in your experience? I’m pretty sure VSCode behaves exactly the same, with the addition of a manual “merge” editor when you try to save, but never shows changes live for a modified file.
Changes to open files without any modifications in the buffer are always shown. Are you using any kind of containers or virtual fs that might be interfering?
Other editors, at least, display a pop-up indicating that the file has changed on disk in the meantime and ask me if I want to reload the file or overwrite it with my current buffer, or do nothing (geany editor does that, for example). And it happens immediately as soon as I hover over the editor's window.
Interestingly, Zed displays the change right away for the first time, but any other edits are not picked up. I'm using Zed's installer, Zed updated to the latest version, no containers or virtual fs, my partitions are ext4.
You can ask and explain to them what kind of traffic you'll have. I've shown them the project I'm migrating, and they've opened ports for me right from the start.
- put best specs in largest devices (fomo-ish, status symbol)
- put highest cost on largest devices (status symbol)
- um? not even create smaller devices would also do it I guess?
True. But you can also be smart about it, and it doesn't have to be something that takes your whole afternoon. 15 minutes of home exercise instead of media scrolling, and at the end of the week, it is 1:45, at the end of the month 7:45 that you've done something.
Or just a simple door frame exercise bar where you do a pushup or two now and then. These small things add up.
Or to go with friends to play football or my friend started to run, they made a Sunday morning running group. To end with what you've begun, regularity is the key.
I've managed to build a significant amount of muscle mass just from doing stretchy-band PT exercises to deal with shoulder pain. 10-15 minutes nearly every day makes a big difference. I've also started developing some serious leg muscles just from walking up and down stairs in my 2-story house (+basement) and around my mildly hilly neighborhood.
I drive as little as possible; I went on a 1200 mile road trip last weekend and I'm still paying for so much sitting.
This is good advice, and it's something I also share with high school students who are struggling with relationships, uncertainty, or self-confidence.
For example, we visit our local hospital every weekend to hand out magazines, books, and toys to people whose lives have been affected by an accident or illness. It's rewarding, and the group of volunteers changes each month, so you get to help others and meet new people. Helping others is also a great way to help yourself. Afterwards, we usually spend an hour or two socialising at a bar near the hospital. The doctors know us, and they sometimes join our table.
If that doesn't work either, exercise and therapy have worked for some of my friends. Having a personal trainer two or three times a week is often better than going to the gym on your own, and seeing a life coach or therapist once a week can really help you move forward.
Music and other arts are a manifestation of human life and its ephemeral nature. And because human creates it, another human can relate to it because we all share the same fate, in the end.
LLMs have no understanding of the limited time of human nature. That's why what they produce is flat, lacking emotion, and the food they make sometimes tastes bland, missing those human touches, those final spices that make the food special.
