    Does JetBrains have an equivalent of Next Edit Suggestions (VSCode) / Edit Prediction (Zed) / "Tab, tab, tab" (Cursor)?

    There's also https://github.com/joshcho/ChatGPT.el but it hasn't been updated yet to use the API that came out yesterday.

    FYI I use firenvim daily and it can certainly change color scheme. Is it only when used with Jupyter that color scheme can't be changed?

    The benchmark Mozilla highlights for this release (2x faster) is Speedometer 2.0. FF57 is 2x faster than FF52, which came out roughly 7 months ago. In my own personal testing (you …

    Very nice. Two features I would like are tabs next to the "Today" tab that say "Yesterday" or maybe "48 Hours" and another that says "This week" or "Last week." I often miss the ne…

    Firefox on Android used to have text reflow, then they removed it. Then the crappy extensions were made. I used to use text reflow on Conkeror (Firefox based) on desktop, but a yea…

    I don't think this is anything new. The feature they got rid of was a single RSS feed for all your subscriptions. They've had per channel RSS feeds and OPML export since they got r…

    If I hold an event in Chicago called "An evening for families," that doesn't mean my definition of family somehow includes living close to Chicago. Just that this event happens to …

    Are there some tools that make it easy to make these filters? It would be nice to have something built-in (as a plugin?) to mpv or VLC. I've created several filters for personal us…

    Starcraft is a game that is played with mouse and keyboard (or game controller on console). I think in order to say an AI has beat a human, it should have to use the same interface…

    Cut any segment of 10 seconds or more that is found in more than one podcast episode. (I think this is feasible considering Shazam) It would remove pre-recorded/repeated ads in the…

    I don't think it would have been political suicide. The program was (presumably, I don't know the exact history) classified so the vast majority of people didn't know about it, and…

    If the P/E ratio had been very low, I think he would have used it. The problem with using P/E for an eleven year old company like Yelp is that E is still very small or non-existant…

    What's crazy is that they planned to continue using them as they became available. So 3, 4, 5 ..., 20, etc. 100? It's hard to know at what point they would have stopped had the reg…
