I'm very excited about LSP snippet support, I will finally be able to use stuff like emmet on my svelte/html projects.

You can also use GitHub copilot outside of a GitHub repository, and there would be no way to verify that

On my machine teams regularly eats up several gigabytes of ram, even when not interacting with it at all.

I generally don't care about applications using a lot of ram, but this is just too much for a program which I mostly use for text messaging.

Rust evangelist strikeforce strikes again...

No seriously, I am a rustacean too, but please stop telling everyone to Rewrite everything in Rust (even if its only a joke), its becoming slightly annoying

    > Rust makes enormous binaries

Rust binaries are optimized to be fast (by default, fast != small), this [0] explains pretty well why, and min-sized also has many optimizations [1].

    > and compiles slow

You can have a very slow compiler with all the optimizations and safety checks, or a fast one which doesn't. This however doesn't mean there is no room for improvement.

One thing that can definitely improved on is how cargo manages dependencies, I am tired of each of my project's /target directory using >2GB of disk space, there at least should be some kind of opt-in global cache.

I am also worried about dependencies going in the same direction as the JS ecosystem, many of my projects only have 3-5 top level dependencies, but I end up downloading hundreds. A few are only compile-time, but this makes auditing very difficult and does make compile times a lot longer.

In rust you can use these almost everywhere in place of an expression (if statements, while loops, in function arguments, etc). It can sometimes make code a bit unreadable to some people, but its still a cool feature imo.

Probably off-topic, but I recently made the stupid decision of learning dvorak while I had to get some important work done.

I am currently at: 1) I don't type dvorak fast enough which really reduces my motivation, but I'm getting faster pretty quickly 2) My qwerty typing skills have gotten even worse, I look a bit stupid when I try to fix problems on other computers at ~15 WPM.

Generally I don't regret starting to type dvorak, I just wish I had done it another time where typing slowly doesn't affect me as much.

Yes, no server. It runs somewhere up in the clouds!

Um, what? Is paying OSS devs something bad nowadays?

Do you think they created proton to Extend and then "extinguish" Steam (which they can't because it is proprietary) or what?

AFAIK Typescript has no runtime impact on performance, the transpiled JS should be equally fast as the handwritten code

You are saying an IDE (of which there are many wayyy better) is as equally important as a technology which helped save thousands of lives? Do you really think VSCode is an equally big achievement as building space stations?

peoples lives are more important than a few hours of a programmers life getting used to vim (or any other non VSCode editor)

EDIT: Even millions, and thats only one of thousand technologies that improve our life (expectancy)
