We may be unable to provide a concrete definition of what intelligence is, but we can certainly provide definitions for what it isn't. E.g. we don't need a concrete definition of intelligence to say that a rock isn't intelligent. A pencil isn't intelligent. A calculator isn't intelligence

Ignoring your insults, I think there are many valid use cases for smart home devices.

For example, automatically turning lights on and off on a schedule, changing light color to red at night, being able to casually set reminders without bothering with a phone, controlling your TV without needing your phone (e.g. for netflix), being able to change temperature on a schedule, all kinds of things.

Just because they occasionally have bugs for some people doesn't mean they are entirely useless. Many people (myself included) have few to no problems with their smart home devices.

Paul was among the top philanthropists in America, and has contributed so much to society. Truly a sad day

My company uses GitLab and I think the CI is fantastic, especially compared to Jenkins, Travis, Circle, etc. It's very easy to setup, incorporated into the rest of our workflows, intuitive, reliable, powerful. I have a few complaints but i see they are on the upcoming roadmap.

Overall, all my devs are quite happy with GitLab!

Something to consider, VS Code being free means it will eat into IntelliJ's marketshare, even without all the features of IntelliJ. They'll be the people who need the advanced features who will continue buying it, but many people may not need the full suite, and will use VS Code to save money.

I prefer VS Code over native alternatives. Don't conflate your anecdotal evidence with facts. Many users don't know much RAM a process consumes or what an Electron app is, they just care about what the app can do, how fast it is, etc.

Well that's just not accurate. With our Electron app, the main process consumes 40mb of RAM, with each window using 30mb of RAM, so if you have a windowed app, thats a minimum of under 70mb of RAM (results will differ, our app is quite large).

a) you can disable it via the preference browser.tabs.remote.warmup.enabled b) some users will like this feature. they aren't cheating at making it faster, it actually is faster for all intents and purposes.

We get around the shared folder performance problem using NFS. Adds one extra step to setup (mount a network share), but we've never had performance issues with it.

This tends to be over-used though. Unfortunately some employees would continue making $500,000 mistakes and never learning. It really depends on the employee's attitude and response to the incident, as well as the circumstances of the incident.

Personally I have no interest in moving away from Google Search, as I specifically use them because Google learns from previous searches I've made and shows me more relevant results. Searching "unzip" shows me the Linux command, not unrelated materials for example.
