Yeah that should work, you can remove all the AI stuff with a single setting and the rest should be fine.

I know about the indexing, marking directories correctly so as not to trigger reindexing etc etc.

Since i work on a couple dozen services in a monorepo in a few languages, no amount of heap memory or CPU will be enough.

One days its the grapqhl plugin, the next day its typescript type inferrence, then something with rust, it just never stops. Sometimes even the golang operations are slow.

Its all just monorepo issues, but i expect my IDE to be able to handle a monorepo, all other IDEs work without issue (and are inferior in functionality sadly)

I have given it up to 30GB of heap and i tried many different GC configs, i even ran it and my project on ramdisk.

The issue is related to using a monorepo with lots of code in different languages - openening single folders is fine. Ut i want to be able to work on dozens of services in a single window, all other editors manage just fine

Last week i cancelled my Jetbrains sub after a decade of daily driving it. I just cant take the performance issues anymore. Across 5 different machines all kinds of actions would just take ages and it got worse every year.

Moving to Apple Silicon made it bearable for a few months but somehow Jetbrains manages to get slow even on a M3 Max with 36GB RAM.

Ive been fiddling with configs for years, i tried everything since i was a Jetbrains diehard.

Instead of trying to catch up to other AI editor they should get back to their core and make it possible to use Jetbrains on medium sized Monorepos with multiple languages.

I was hyped when i heard they would release a standalone git product, but then they scrapped it!

In the end i was only dependent on it for debugging and my usual git workflow.

I now switched to zed and gitkraken, i will figure out a new debugging workflow, ill never wait 5 minutes for a simple search action again

Bold of you to flat out drop down migrations.

I guess having a new up migration to cover the case is better, but its nice to have a documented way of rolling back (which would be the down migration) - without applying it programmatically. But it helps if other team members can see how a change should be rolled back ideally.

I wish they would limit the number of attendees somehow or have some way to manage overcrowding. In 7 attendances i and most people in my group got a cold or the flu (this was before covid) - 7 years in a row.

The slack notification noise triggered me to check Slack frantically in case i was mentioned, but there was nothing. Slack really has us conditioned well.

A bit over a year ago I lost a dear friend, while his girlfriend was pregnant.

The feeling of seeing something the person will never use again is soul wrenching. I wept when I read the line "No salt. No salt means that he’s not cooking. He’ll never cook again."

The child is a ray of light for me whenever I see it, I hope the family can find a little comfort in this piece of him that will be brought into the world.

I have followed this story for a while now and wish the family a brighter path in the future. Thank you for focussing my thoughts on what is important, instead of the daily tech grind.

Hey, i bought it, nice work!

A few things:

* The main thing that makes ChatGPTs ui useful to me is the ability to change any of my prompts in the conversation & it will then go back to that part of the converation and regenerate, while removing the rest of the conversation after that point.

Such a chat ui is not usable for me without this feature.

* The feedback button does nothing for me, just changes focus to chrome.

* The LLaVA model tells me that it can not generate images since it is a text based AI model. My prompts were "Generate an image of ..."

I dont understand how this is better than a docker-compose.yml with your dependencies, which plays nicer with all other tooling.

Especially if there are complex dependencies between required containers it seems to be pretty weak in comparison. But i also only used it like 5 years ago, so maybe things are significantly better now.

I just never could be happy with a TV without an OLED panel after i got my first one last year. Since then all other screen types look like garbage to my eyes, the better cinema projectors too.

Shouldn't have bought an expensive big monitor for work without OLED the year before, but i hear that OLED is not that great for close up text rendering.

Maybe someone knows how to solve a common sharing issue, I didn't see it mentioned here:

I have a single ultra wide screen and would like to share a virtual area that has a normal size (16:9) with people via Google Meets, Slack, etc. Otherwise I have to share a window, stop, share another one etc.

Really bad, especially during some on call emergency session.

So far I couldn't make it work, only Zoom had this feature at some point but nobody uses Zoom where I have worked.

Hey, can you recommend something one might read to get up to speed on queuing theory? I certainly am not aware of it, but work with queues.

Ah yeah forgot about that one. Ill make a better one tomorrow!

The emojis are strange, yeah. Well something for V2 then.

I guess the visitor can be good depending on your language and use case. We do a lot of graph traversal and make use of it.

I loved https://grugbrain.dev and wanted more content. So now you can talk to him!

Ironically my experience has been that these responses came from people working in enterprise silos with few collaborators. Your mileage may vary.

Dont take this the wrong way, but this is the answer i would get from enterprise devs usually when pointing this out.

Then i would realize that their definition of a real issue was completely removed from any business or user impact, but geared more towards their understanding of the process detail in question.

I would argue that there certainly are some good places for unit tests, like if you have some domain-driven design going and can have well defined unit-tests for your business logic, but this usually is the smallest part of the codebase.

Mocking things that talk to databases etc. usually gives a false sense of security while that thing could break for a whole number of reasons in the real world. So just dropping the mock here and testing the whole stack of the application can really do wonders here in my experience.

Using mockserver etc. you can cover for these things in component-test cases even more easily through your whole application while being more flexible with bigger code changes than unit tests allow.

So at work we would run tons of tests against the real service with a real database, seeding thousands of schemas to allow for parallel testing of tests that change state.

This takes 3 minutes, 1 if you use tmpfs. It only takes <10 seconds if you dont run writing tests.

These actually cover most real world use cases for a query-engine we maintain.

Unit tests have their place for pieces of code that run based on a well defined spec, but all in all this integration or component-level testing is really what brings me the most value always.

I was there 6 times and got sick 6 times after. The mask is a good idea. The weather was shitty every single time i was there.

There are some good talks, but i find it to be overcrowded and if you dont get a seat in the morning in a devroom and stay there the whole day then you spend your day wandering from one at-capacity devroom to the next.

I remember when Signal was called Textsecure and did E2E encryption for SMS - just to rant about argument number 5.

For work i have a M1 Pro 32GB RAM 16". Also i own a M1 Macbook Pro 13" 16GB for personal use.

1. Performance is great, i neve hear the fans even in summer. The only exception is our testing suite that uses all cores for 10 minutes. If i run that the whole day in summer then after a few hours i might hear the fan very quietly (recently i was working on the testing setup itself).

2. Everything works by now

3. Docker performance is worse than intel. The CPU is way better than intel. In the end it works way better for me than with the previous 16" i7 with 32GB RAM (2019 model)

4. If you dont use VMs (or many docker containers) 16GB is fine. It will never get loud, no matter what you do.

I use the Google Authenticator for everything and with ios & macOS i just press on the code on iOs & paste on the mac. Done.

Things have gotten way easier with password managers and proper MFA in my opinion.

Is there no quarantine mandate where you live? Just curious, here it would be frowned upon to go running when you are positive.

I lost 45kg over 2 years(100 lb), here is how you can do it without being overly disciplined.

1. Don't overdo it, if you cant imagine living forever with a change in diet then it wont work. Your perspective on that change will maybe change later on, take it easy.

2. Nutrition > Exercise, but exercising (or movement in general) made me crave healthier food.

3. First step - stop drinking anything but water, plain tea and black coffee. Becoming a tea or coffee snob helps as you still have something with flavour (even better than before to be honest). This alone accounted for 15kg loss.

4. Reduce candy and sweets, potentially cutting them out completely. Do this only after you don't crave soda and other sweet drinks or it wont stick. Another 10kg.

5. Move, more than before. No specific goal. Walking is better than nothing. Ideally you start with strength exercises. I started with 2 water bottles that i would lift. Muscles burn calories.

6. Protein > Fat > Carbs really helped me. Mileage may vary, but after you get used to it you get hungry less frequently. BE CAREFUL WITH BIG DIETARY CHANGES. Best is to do it incrementally.

7. Better to lose continously and slowly than to force big weight losses in a short amount of time. Flabby skin etc.

8. Skipping breakfast / intermittend fasting helped me to reduce calories without having to count etc. Just a natural limit. Also my lunch is quite small now, but i eat a lot for dinner - not the healthiest but it works for me.

What a biased unfounded thing to say.
