Sorry, I was too harsh. Or to be more precise: I should not have directed my criticism only at this particular blog post. This topic is a hot mess. Yes, even the 2019 blog post ann…

> So on the title, I picked this because it's simply the truth. Since async landed in 2019 or so, not much has changed. Hi. The article calls Rust async an MVP. You should expect s…

Claim-1: the async versus sync distinction cannot be meaningfully dissolved at the programmer level. Claim-2: async versus sync is a fundamental division in CS Discuss amongst your…

>Several people at work, none use OpenClaw, had their limits jump immediately to 100%. Substantively: assuming this is true, what are the possible explanations? If they don't use O…

So far, after reading ~20 HN comments, I see one mention of something akin to "I verified this myself". Where are the people saying "Maybe this is true, but please tell me you cons…

The comment above has started a sh-tstorm. Please, slow down and learn about the details before jumping to conclusions. Most of us here did NOT "go pro" in the law. [1] For those t…

This language fits common SaaS templates. Let me illustrate by removing chunks and labeling them: Customer hereby grants Zed {{ broad list of rights }} solely: {{ for these purpose…

1. Yes, Zed is open source, you can build it yourself. 2. Telemetry defaults to on. So turn off telemetry as explained at https://zed.dev/docs/telemetry#configuring-telemetry-setti…

Which Macs, hardware, OS's? What's your baseline comparison?

If the idea of hiding extra Markdown elements or making it more WYSIWYG appeals to you, maybe we can put more eyes on some kind of feature request. I've seeing several comments com…

> Also extensions can't add new UI, so you are stuck fitting to the recipe Zed team provides for you to plug into, and often enough this is not satisfactory. What did you have in m…

What's your favorite theme, maybe we can point you to something close? If you have any special needs or usability issues (colorblindness is common), that's probably relevant too. I…

I wish Zed had built-in APIs for extension developers to allow for more customizable text transformations. In particular, I want to write tools that have more control over what a b…

Here is a top-level comment for people who want to post the things they wish Zed had. Request: please be sincere if you claim "the one thing that keeps me from using Zed is X" ... …

Thanks. Along those lines, here's a sort of thought experiment. Of said engineers who know a higher standard, say we teleported them into Anthropic, what are some likely scenarios?…

As I understand Anthropic's recent retrospective, calling the models directly via API did not change; the problem was that the harness changed and this was not communicated well to…

Thanks for the example -- you are one of the first people to quote a source, so I appreciate it. This makes constructive discussion much easier. You quoted this: > To manage growin…
