Thank you for your insightful comment that adds great depth to the debate.

Did you actually read the article?

Doesn't matter what you're working on, burnout doesn't help anyone.

It still is. Complaining on the Microsoft "support" site for an MVP saying you should just stick to outlook classic and new outlook was only for home users.

They didn't respond when I pointed out the official notification that classic outlook was intended to be deprecated (and apparently now is)

Combining the user input with the model weights to produce the output is still an algorithm.

If you're going to engage in pedantry, at least be technically correct.

I know nothing about how Cursor is implemented, so this may be wildly off base, but...

Perhaps it is written using some kind of JavaScript framework that doesn't allow access to the process environment by default, but this lets them work around that to access the environment like a native app?

One reason you'd want an IDE to have access to your environment is to enable any tools/compilers/whatever you launch from the IDE to inherit the environment (say, to access SSH_AGENT_SOCK, or whatever).

I'm very confused here, the argument is just JavaScript code... What is passing that argument?

Assuming that JavaScript is evaluated but the launched process, that will serialise the entire environment -- which is passed to every process anyway.

Bad news for Tesla?

The user needed no encouragement to switch it off.

They'd spent the last 10 minutes swearing at windows for taking forever to shutdown and were about 10 seconds from saying screw it, and turning it off anyway.

They're all subject to FOIA...

What am I supposed to say in response to a comment conveying the message "be a good customer" with no further elaboration and the source "believe me"?

Perhaps you could say something concrete, rather than vague waffle and assertions?
