They don't say anything about it in the press release or TFA but it would make sense for wsl users in a corporate environment.

> Cursor had something like this at some point. They've removed it.

No, they say that they have removed it, but they haven't. Cursor claims they retired local indexing in favor of something they call "instant grep," which, according to their own support, doesn't use a local index, and they removed the tool in Cursor settings to rebuild the index.

But Cursor still uses a local index. They have just hidden it as a subfolder in your ".git" folder. "~/.git/cursor".

Their hidden index often goes stale, and I had to nuke that folder every time I changed many files. This isn't new; when they officially had a local index, it was often stale too. I developed a script that ran on a daily schedule, every few hours, to alert me when Cursor's index went stale.

I constantly had to watch for Cursor suddenly not finding documents that clearly existed, and it often worked on outdated content. Disabling instant grep removes the hidden index, btw and problem gone.

Cool. Will give it a try. This app is something i have missed for a long time and something I would purchase (one-time license fee, not subscription) eg as a Windows Store App.

The got was they already had. The US has been able to do pretty much everything the wanted in Greenland since the 2nd world war.

AI Slop. They haven't even bothered to replace "[Your Company Name]" on the about page.

What if you make MFA mandatory. Normal users should have little issues with that despite the increased friction but bots would struggle with this.

"[...] Since 1953, the US Department of Justice has defined the border to be anywhere within 100 miles of the actual national limits.[...] According to the American Civil Liberties Union, about two-thirds of the people in the US live within 100 miles of a border. So in theory these 200 million border zone dwellers could have their phones seized and searched at any time by CBP agents without a warrant.[...]"

I just opened cursor and was presented with a modal dialog with a "Try Origin" button and zero option to dismiss it. Had to nuke the cursor process to get it to go away. At least they didn't show it again at relaunch.

What's wrong with git?

i have a parent repo that has git submodules for each area of my app (backend, frontend, docs, etc).

i have all the benefits of having multiple repos eg different c/i pipelines, but the agent sees it as a monorepo and so can I if i open the parent repo in my ide.

And it will, but be patient. I took linux 25 years to conquer the world.

One day an open source model reaches "good enough" level. Maybe around the level the current frontier has and most people will use that

By changing two settings in Windows, you can fix the worst of it.

Using a local group policy, you can change when "Preview builds and Feature updates" and "Quality Updates" become available in Windows Update.

By delaying those with 30 or 60 days, you will never have preview updates applied to your system, and feature and quality updates will have at least 1 or 2 months' worth of fixes before you get them.

start > run > gpedit.msc > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Manage updates offered from Windows Update >

1) Enable "Select when preview builds and feature updates are received". Set days to 60

2) Enable "Select when quality updates are received". Set days to 30 (max value)

the same goes for Brave, ios
