I tried switching to Zed, and was even able to get it use identical themes and key mappings as my preferred ones in VSC, but ultimately I switched back due to lack of plugins that I’ve really come to depend on, not to mention some key feature differences. I didn’t notice that much of a performance boost over VSC (given that I was on an M4 with 32GB of memory), so in the end, the switch wasn’t worth it. I really want to like Zed, so I will be sure to occasionally check out any new releases. By the way, I did indeed notice that Zed was a heck of a lot faster than VSC on an old Intel-based MBP!
I don’t really like pre-commit hooks, but I do think that git-secrets is a very useful one since once a secret is in the commit history, it’s a hassle (though not impossible) to remove it. All other issues can and should be caught early as an optionally blocking step in a CI/CD pipeline build.
A polygraph is just an intimidation tool. I have family who worked for 3-letter agencies who “failed” polygraphs, only to have them retaken a day later and “pass”. The polygraph examiners are pretty darn good at intimidating subjects, which understandably affects their vitals, causing false positives left and right. Heck, I have a 30-40 mmHg higher blood pressure reading in any doctor’s office than I do at home due to white coat syndrome. I can’t imagine how being interrogated would for something I didn’t do would affect me.
It’s always nice to see native implementations of functionality pioneered by third-party libraries. Bootstrap, for example, has made this kind layout (somewhat) possible but there is also a Masonry plugin that simplifies it.
I do know from my experience with test automation that you can absolutely view a site as human eyes would, essentially ignoring all non-visible elements, and in fact Selenium running with Chrome driver does exactly this. Wouldn’t AI scrapers use similar methods?
I love this because it demystifies the inner-workings of AI. At its most atomic level, it’s really all just conditional statements and branching logic.
