Out of curiosity - how did you figure this out? I cannot find any hints about that. Was it the language used?

Does anybody have experience running Claude Code or Codex in Zed?

I haven’t heard this quote before, but I am copying it here because it makes so much sense:

Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different from saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say. - Edward Snowden

I actually set the time limit to 0 minutes , then I restarted the app in iOS and right now I do not see any shorts. Let’s see how long it would take for them to reappear again

I think that at least since win10 there is zip embedded in windows, it’s just not 7z

It is interesting that 2 years later the same reviewer changes their mind a bit:

> Now, a few years after writing that review, I must return to say that as much as I hate this book, it's probably the best textbook that I have. I constantly return to it to reteach myself basic concepts or math. The problem with the text is that in order for it to be useful, you pretty much have to already understand the material. It's a dense, technical manual that, when paired with an easier to understand text such as Griffiths, grants tremendous power. Don't get me wrong, if there is a hell, I personally hope John David Jackson is burning in it right now, but I also have to tip my hat to him

on NXP K60 with FreeRTOS and lwIP IP based networking runs without problems with 256k Flash and 64k RAM. Of course it depends on the application, because the throughput is not high, but that is not the point here

I have thought about this myself. I do not think it is directly related to China. I think it is just not trendy to be an embedded developer. And the reason is that it is extremely difficult to start a hardware company (even more with the chip shortages in the last 2 years) because one needs to take care of delivering components that are rare or not available for months, to create the firmware for the board, to manufacture it and deliver it to the customer. Working from home office is often not possible, because soldering stations are needed, oscilloscopes, power supplies etc. The tools are also often not cheap, a debugger can cost 10-15$, but often for bigger projects the debuggers are 100x more expensive, the compiler could also cost a couple of thousand dollars. Then if there are bugs in the SW (there are always bugs) it is again difficult to update the software (this has improved in recent years with all the connected devices/cars etc., but it is still difficult). And as far as I know there are not that many hardware companies that have big exits. On the other side, being a web developer does not require being in an office, buying expensive hardware and tools, nothing is physically delivered and at the end there is a chance to be part of a big tech exit. Big exits -> big salaries

My instructor told me that the size is what matters often in real life. He was sailing a 45 foot yacht from Europe to South America (ARC race) and in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean they were very close to hitting a huge tanker. They were with sails at night, but the tanker was not willing to change course for such a small boat so around 50m before the impact the sailing boat changes course. All the time they were on the radio talking with the captain of the tanker, but they could not persuade him to change course. And for them this is a race so they always wanted to follow the optimal course, therefore they were reluctant to change their course

thanks, it also does not look fast to me and does not seem to improve the process the way it does for speech. Additionally I guess there is a steep learning curve so it is definitely not for everybody
