Scala but it's on JVM (also is https://scala-native.org without JVM but that not really has big user base)

same, and those 2 plugins together completely eliminated need for tmux/zelij locally

- https://github.com/MLFlexer/resurrect.wezterm

These seem nice but honestly feel like overkill for the most basic (and probably most typical?) use of tmux and similar.

I generally have a single session I care about per machine (rather than per project) and wezterm's built-in multiplexing handles this out of the box.

yeah, and sometime it getting really ridicules: N years of experience in language doesn't count if no libraries from approved list was used.

I'm switching a lot between Sonnet and Gemini in Aider - for some reason some of my coding problems only one of models capable to solve and I don't see any pattern which cold give answer upfront which I should to use for specific need.

I'm not sure about bots but it looks like they have real peoples on payroll or who paid per comment or something like that. And they trying push narrative 'use it now or you will be left behind' on every place where someone could share experience of using ai tools.

In most cases is enough to have emacs installed as part of OS with all required general cli tools and then open project specific shell with all project dev dependencies like compilers and libs.

However is some cases when it could be little more tricky, for instance I'm using LSP for Scala (https://scalameta.org/metals/) which on start trying to automatically detect JDK version for project from environment. So if my project depends on JDK 11 it might required for me manually start LSP from nix-shell to force it use right JVM version.

With Rust is in someway similar, I need to bring some shell with 'rust up' setup so it could install everything for rust-analyzer then emacs can use it.

Regardless emacs itself is few options to manage emacs packages in nix way but for me it not really gives anything so I just use it as on any other OS.

I was involved in mobile game development for several years, but I’m no longer active in that field. In my opinion, one of the reasons they do this is to maximize Ad revenue. In this case, it’s obvious that if you see this warning on your product page, the quick fix would be to spend money on Ads to gain a few more users as soon as possible. This also creates a competitive bidding situation across the market, as more developers buy ads, forcing others to do the same to keep up.

just in case, another opensource project using same name https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Dia/

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/dia

Fun, I can't get to it because I can't get past the "Making sure you're not a bot!" page. It's just stuck at "calculating...". I understand the desire to slow down AI bots, but . If all the gnome apps are now behind this, they just completely shut down a small-time contributor. I love to play with Gnome apps and help out with things here and there, but I'm not going to fight with this damn thing to do so.

And another one, not open source but in AI sphere: https://www.diabrowser.com/

Thanks for the heads-up! We weren’t aware of the GNOME Dia project. Since we focus on speech AI, we’ll make sure to clarify that distinction.

Ditto this! Dia diagram tool user here just noticing the name clash. Good luck with your Dia!! Assuming both can exist in harmony. :-)

> Assuming both can exist in harmony.

I'm sure they can... talk it over.

I'll show myself out.

The generous interpretation is that the AI hype people just didn’t know about those other projects, i.e. that they are neither open source developers, nor users.

Of course, how could they have known? Doing a basic web search before deciding on a name is so last year.

Maybe they only asked an LLM about it?

at same time you don't wanna to ask bank for permission to spend your money every time:

"Can I buy some milk today? No!, let's visit our branch first and give some papers which will require significant time/effort to get for you."

Most just not experiencing things like this but once that happen it is hard to ignore this possibility.

I do want permission from my bank, actually. Of course not for milk, but for a car or house, for sure.

I found Fauna very interesting from a technical perspective many years ago, but even then, the idea of a fully proprietary cloud database with no reasonable migration options seemed pretty crazy at the time. I thought maybe they had some good source of very specific niche customers who fine with that, but it seems even if that was true it wasn't enough for a grow.

Really hope that something useful will be open sourced as result.
