Why don’t you use another editor? From what I understand this is a core feature of Zed.
Because it has other core features like being really fast?

#372I was excited, but then I saw it was Mac only. Weird choice, most programmers will never even look at this editor.
Most programmers I know prefer macOS above all other. Is it different where you’re from?

Rude to who exactly? OP criticized the landing page for a) omitting the fact that ~85% of desktop computer users can’t use Zed, and b) alluding to this not being the case with language about working anywhere. This isn’t an attack on the authors, or on the product they clearly put so much time into. Yeah, OP said the page is really bad. But IMO we should be able to express negative opinions on things we think suck abo…
Let me quote two of the entries from the "In Comments" section of https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html > Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine.

If you value kindness, consider empathy. The person you're somewhat haughtily tone policing is obviously annoyed about wasting a totally unnecessary amount of time on something ultimately useless to them.
And the feedback was constructive (and easily actionable): be upfront about the very limited platform support, don't waste people's time.
Re: Zed, a collaborative code editor, is now open source
#375I'm generally a big fan of zed and have been using it for 60%ish of my dev time for 6 months or so. A couple of nice things to note: - It really is remarkably responsive,and makes one really notice how UNresponsive everything else is. I have reasonably fast machines, so we're not talking about the difference between 5ms typing lag and 500ms, but it's still pretty surprising. VSCode never felt slow on my macs until I…
how to you use ollama with vscode? some links/ details would help me a lot!

Most westerners I've spoken to think that even when a Western government does bad, there's probably good intentions behind it or at least more noble than any non-Western government. On the flip side, even if you believe that, there's an argument to be made that if you live in the West then the Russians/Chinese care way less about you than the Five Eyes.
I mean, it’s been at least a few decades since my home country started it’s latest war. It’s not that it’s non-western, it’s just that the countries I don’t trust are mostly dictatorships or something very close to it.
Few decades of not starting a war is a very weak qualifier. Let's start with "100 years of not participating (!) in wars, not even in a supporting role, while respecting people's human rights, democracy, freedom of speech and privacy" and then the country has some kind of backbone to lean on when offering it's enlightened perspective.
There aren't many countries that would qualify (Sweden fails because of the Snowden case) and I suspect your country is not one of those. What country are you from?
It's all about risk assessment, risk analysis, scenarios, probabilities, threat vectors, worst/probable/best cases of cost/benefit, etc.
What are the chances that Putin wants to get to you? How probable is it? Does he have better options than through seeing your browsing history? What happens if he actually gets it - what's the worst that can happen?
It's really all a big nonsense about nothing. You are most probably just an ordinary human, just like me. We are not even worthy of such an attention. Be realistic and know your position, role and pecking order in the world order. Be a cog and live peacefully. :-)

I’m really picky about my tools in general and latency in particular, and I give Zed a spin from time to time, it’s sweet. Clean, minimal design aesthetic, tree-sitter, tight code, it’s a nice bit of work and I dig it a lot. But emacs 29 with the right flags and a tuned GC (no one does this! it’s got a heap-size from the 80s!) is just as snappy and has more amazing packages than VSCode. There’s a market for people wh…
what are the right flags and gc tunings?

yes, the title of this post should be, "Zed, a collaborative Mac-only code editor....". I also find it kind of obnoxious that their front page says they are focused on making the world's best code editor without mentioning that it is tied to one platform. I don't think it can come close to being the best editor with such limitations.

> VSCode never felt slow on my macs until I started using Zed. I guess you haven't used Sublime Text before?
Or vim, I suppose. It's remarkable how slow VSCode actually is, but I still use it because I hate configuring vim and packages always break when upgrading, it's honestly worse than npm.
Are you sure that’s vim rather than Melvin. Never had any issues with anything breaking on an upgrade using vim.
