Everybody can do that themselves, if the original maintainers don't want to (which is a security problem ;):

If you are not the author, we suggest you first reach out to the author with an issue in their GitHub repo to request that they publish their extension to open-vsx.org. We've drafted a template with suggested content for the issue.

Such "3rd party extensions" don't get the "verified publisher" icon (or at least should not get it ;).
I had a similar experience with BAE. The first time I saw they were charging the RAF £5,000 for a torch lightbulb my eyes practically fell out of their sockets - but then, a few years down the road, I found myself working with a QC department there, and their acceptance testing is extraordinary - everything gets the crap beaten out of it, thermal, endurance, vibration, radiation, you name it - and the survivors become aircraft and weapon parts.
It's an IDE. If you need to edit your code somewhere else, there's a billion other IDEs and text editors, as you pointed out.

A guitar doesn't make the musician, and the hammer doesn't make the carpenter.

There's specific skill with being able to use tools well, but that's not what makes a programmer, guitarist or carpenter valuable.
Interesting! Emails that stop sending can be caused by a technical glitch of some kind, or they can be the consequence of a block list. A sister project could be to assist users with this?

A couple of years ago I built a journal system that sends me an email everyday; answers are then logged in a db. It worked flawlessly until last week.

Although that domain is only used by me to send emails to me, it seems it was suddenly added to a black list (DNSBL). I would welcome assistance in that matter and am not sure where to turn to... (Mailgun support essentially says "tough luck").
I think that humanistic moral universalism (or simply humanism) - a moral philosophy which is a basis for e.g. Universal Declaration of Human Rights - requires the moral axiom that "not hurting humans is above all else".

This obviously begs a question "who is considered a human?" in this moral philosophy. For this to work as intended, things like human cells (we can kill cells to save a human being) or societies like nation states (we can destroy or mutilate states to save a human being) have to be considered lesser than individual humans.

But it gives rise to Russell-type paradox of how to include as many humans as possible without creating contradictions. (A similar problem is with democracy, it cannot be instituted or destroyed democratically.) These logical problems seem to come from the fact that you need some axioms at all. In the same way, you can be "dogmatic in your non-dogmatism".

I also think if you accept the universalist moral position above, the questioning and distrust towards experts (authorities) becomes obvious conclusion. Authorities asking for humans to be killed or harmed (for example, going to a war) need to provide a strong justification.

I also consider it very doubtful that the moral universalism was first invented by "Western civilization" or "enlightenment". Yeah, somebody was first, but it's not that a difficult idea. What might be new is the universal acceptance of it, but I am not so sure when I look around.

However, in practice, the Russell-style paradox is rarely a problem. Yeah, there are edge cases like dolphins, or intellectually disabled people, but mostly we can figure it out.
CBOR does have indefinite length arrays, maps, byte strings and text strings : https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8949.html#name-indefinite-...
Same, I wonder if the people complaining have experience with vscodium (to know the difference). Everything I want works with vscodium and I never had any problems with it. The only thing I know doesn't work are dev containers, but I never personally wanted to use them.

"most useful things around it are full of DRM and legal traps" is a HUGE overstatement. Vscodium is great and have everything anyone can want (except, maybe, devcontainers)
> which is it generates an outline, it kind of revises that outline, it generates a detailed version of the script and then it has a kind of critique phase and then it modifies it based on the critique

I’m seeing this to be true in almost every application.

Chain of thought is not the best way to improve LLM outputs.

Manual divide and conquer with an outlining or planning step, is better. Then in separate responses address each plan step in turn.

I’m yet to experiment with revision or critique steps, what kind of prompts have people tried in those parts?

No it is not true that "of course minorities are able to do the job".

Just as it is not true that "of course majorities are able to do the job".

Just as it is not true that "of course minorities are not able to do the job".

Just as it is not true that "of course majorities are not able to do the job".

What minority/majority/gender or other group you belong to simply is not relevant.

For most highly skilled jobs, most people are not able to do the job, completely irrespective of which group they belong to otherwise ("otherwise" meaning: unless your grouping is "people who can do the job" and "people who can't do the job").

So the only or at least overriding criterion in hiring should (must?) be: can they do the job? (Do they have the skills, training, temperament, work ethic, etc.)

When reasonable people complain about DEI hires, what they are complaining about is "ability to do the job" not being the first, foremost and preferably only criterion used to select the hire. This is a reasonable complaint.

Of course there are also racist assholes, who complain about DEI hires because they believe a-priori that someone with a minority background can't do the job. That is to be condemned, obviously.
Yes, there is no official language. There is also no official rule that you shouldn’t be an asshole to everyone you interact with.

It’s still easy to be a shitty member of a community without breaking any laws. I would never move to a country permanently regardless of official language status if I couldn’t speak the language required to ask where something is in the grocery store.

I've worked as a quant in energy markets and made a very tidy $10,000,000 in one day betting against solar and wind.

The people who make those predictions are never held to account and can't find their ass with a GPS.

One only need to look at the fact that the best predictor for energy generation prices increasing is how much renewables have entered the grid. Anything over 5% and you start seeing the costs rise upwards.
A single union spans all these ports? This shouldn’t be allowed - we need antitrust laws to break up unions and promote a healthy amount of competition. Biden could prevent this strike by invoking his legal powers given this is critical infrastructure, but I doubt he will do that given it’s an election year.
> "machinery that's broken" doesn't make it ok. Where did the broken machinery come from? It's not a natural event like the weather. It came from someone who placed it there without a supervising agent to be responsible for it.

Sometimes making an individual responsible just isn't the right call. If you have a car that you know is a bit of a clunker, and it breaks down in the middle of the road, should you be cited? I'm not saying California's decision was bad, but I could imagine a reasonable government pursuing a different strategy too.

Brexit was a product of democracy, as sad as that is. Your own country is just barely holding on to it's democratic status, in the eyes of other first world nations. I wouldn't be so quick to throw stones. The US GDP doesn't seem to be getting it's citizens much in return, it's a very poor measure for a country's success and prosperity.

Have you actually put money where your mouth is by purchasing one of the 1" sensor phones: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_large_sensor_camera_ph...

Obviously, we are seeing movement in that direction, but it's still being balanced with size — you can't fill in the entire large sensor with a "short" lens easily, yet avoid all the problems cameras experience.

It would be great if any of the phones came with an interchangeable lens mount for an existing system, but that alone would add 4-5mm of thickness (30-50% of a modern phone).

> If you enjoy a rabbithole, look at how much DRM there is in Pylance (another extension that MS has locked down): https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/discussions/1641

The funny thing is that I’ll never understand why it’s not open source and why its license prohibits its use in VSCodium. Pylance is good, but not that good. Certainly not on a level of PyCharm. What incentive do they have to keep it secret except being evil?
I set out to make Loader's number [1], about the largest computable (*) number in googology, fit inside the 280 bytes of a tweet. After succeeding with a 2236 bit program, I got the idea to further improve the size by using Higher Order Abstract Syntax (HOAS), resulting in a big rewrite that along with other optimizations resulted in a 233 byte program [2].

It is not an either/or. You can just disallow to collect personal information and it would be valid for state and advertisers.

Information is power and if insurances and producers know everything about you, you will be squeezed like a poor victim.

On bad days I believe people that overshare information deserve that fate, but there isn't really an argument against just regulating collecting information or make them seriously accountable for this information being leaked with severe financial penalties.

It wouldn't even be hard to regulate. Enforcement wouldn't be easy, but I guess the risk for many companies would just be too high to even try.

"most important" is entirely subjective.

The thing is, we have been here before.

Think back to the mid-1980s and the first time everyone got their hands on a Casio or Yamaha keyboard with auto-accompaniment.

It was a huge amount of fun to play with, just pressing a few buttons, playing a few notes and feeling like you were producing a "real" pop song. Meanwhile, any actual musicians were to be found crying in the corner of the room, not because a new tool had come along which threatened their position, but because non-musicians apparently didn't understand (at least immediately) the difference between these superficial, low-effort machine-generated sounds and actual music.
IMO it's a good idea to provide a free trial without asking CC details. Seeing that we have tools like https://postgres.new/ which offer similar functionality for free
A few weeks ago I switched to Cursor. Everything seems to work unchanged -- all my extensions, the marketplace etc. That seems to contradict various things in this article, for example the claim that certain programming languages couldn't have the standard extension support in forks.
Working on my prompt management tool, https://www.promptshuttle.com, but I guess the idea is dead in the water at this point.

Also, proxying for larger co's requires certifications etc., plus stellar 24/7 operations, making this a less-than-ideal side project. I might add some content indexing + RAG features, but also not exactly a new idea...
Does this fix Jupyter too? As far as I know VSCodium Jupyter is broken, unless you use Pylance.
On the contrary, the mainstream eats any slop you put infront of it as long as it follows the correct form - one needs only look at cable news - the super niche content is that which requires deep thinking and novel insights.

Or to put another way, I've heard much better ideas on a podcast made by undergrad CS students than on Lex Fridman.
1. Yes, take the logarithm, especially if your data domain is a constitutive quantity (i.e. there exists an unequovical "absolute zero"). It converts multiplicative scale factors into translational offsets. If your data domain have negatives, consider whether if it's just an artifact of your relative measurement and try to re-offset your data based on reasoning. If your data is a positional quantity, consider if there exists a corresponding metric for which your data is an exponential measurement of (e.g. acidity <-> concentration), and re-shape your log base appropriately.

2. Almost yes, but you also need to make sure that there can exist a rotational symmetry in the measurement metrics, unless it is precisely the asymmetry which you are measuring (but then that would mean you have determined a priori that it's axis-aligned?)

3. Depends, I cannot say I am encyclopedically well-versed to give a judgement on the proportion of how many techniques are well-founded and how many are not. However, I can give you an example of one which is rigorous and spectacularly elegant -- see Michael F. Ashby's work.
I get the nostalgia, but even back in the day I though that the "standard" PC text mode font was really ugly. With a little bit more effort, IBM could have made everyone's life a little bit more pleasant, but they didn't.
You need physical buttons. It is about communicating with the machine what you really want and control it. If you want auto just have an option for auto.

A good example is auto focus. Many has a button on the back to activate on an area with focus size and point control by a joystick. And if it is good, fix it so the machine does not decide to autofocus another area, subject, …

I like a range of the Ukraine coverage. From stuff that comes in fast to the weekly roundup-with-analysis. E.g. Suchomimus has his own humour and angle on things, but if you don’t have a unique sense of humour or delivery then it’s easier for an AI to replace you.

> The client, accessing remote repos, is wildly insecure, by design

Who's the best kid in the block regarding third-party extensions security?

There's really not much standing in front of a supply-chain attack for my editor of choice, emacs. Most people use a community extensions aggregator that also directly fetches from git repositories. The only slim advantage we have is that I'm sure a much higher % of emacs users would actually look into the source code of the extensions they pull.

> An interesting thing about labor disputes like this is they're presented as quasi-political stories, where people eagerly argue "for" or "against" the union or corp as though they were political parties or philosophical camps or something.

That's because they are political.

> But as with most economics, it doesn't really matter what you think is fair, or who has the best justification. These are simply economic forces testing each other, and whichever is strongest will prevail.

That's not different than other political issues (“politics” and “economics” are different lenses for viewing the same disputes over the distribution of social power) and “strength” here is absolutely inclusive of political strength in the narrow sense, since government has a substantial potential role in both the immediate resolution of the dispute and in setting the playing field on which the repeated series of disputes takes place.
I think hypocrisy is entirely the wrong term here if you do not want corporations to have the same rights as a state.

It is true that the state should not collect this information either for that matter.
Phew. That was a close call.
But for that, just what you communicate would be checked and why communicate…
You can also use SSPL code to develop nuclear weapons and murder drones, as long as you publish the code! Additionally, you can also use SSPL code in a business offering that code as a service... as long as you publish all of the code for that service!

I'm working on https://tiny-chat.com a live chat tool that integrates with Slack. My goal is to cover most live chat needs while keeping it super simple, allowing me to offer it at a much lower price than competitors. I started this project because I was tired of paying too much for live chat services.
Previously, I used Django + React, but for Tiny Chat, I'm using Django + HTMX for the first time in production.
So far, the performance and user experience have been great, and I’ll definitely continue using HTMX in the future.

How we built ngrok's data platform
I don't think it's deceptive to have an MIT-licensed core editor (which is distributed by MS under a custom license) and proprietary extensions.

Like many OSS enthusiasts, I did some initial research on VSCode/VSCodium and decided to install the latter (similar to Chrome/Chromium).
As I kept using it I discovered that some MS extensions would refuse to run on VSCodium without workarounds.
At that point I was fully aware of the license situation and still decided to switch to VSCode for convenience.

My point is that most software developers are capable of understanding how VSCode and its "useful extensions" are licensed; it's not a new concept. And from there, each individual can choose what tools they use according to their preferences.
That seems more realistic. But even if a marketer theoretically had access to atomic level detail on every single prospect, there's not much they can do to manufacture demand.

It isn't meant to be fair. Fairness blunts the signal.

It just returns a tuple. That's not confusing at all and it's a very well established pattern in most modern languages.

If there's anything that can be considered complex and footgun-y in React it's useEffect because most of the time you shouldn't use it at all but it can be abused very easily and it kinda works even if you abuse it (but introduces a huge maintenance burden).
