I've been using Raspberry Pi 400 as the main desktop for a few months. The idea was that I'd be more productive without youtube and games. That's not as extreme as the OP setup, but the slowdown and freezes unfortunately outweigh the focus benefits.

"The organizers believe that text compression and AI are equivalent problems."

Are they? Not only interfacing with human-readable media is half of the story, optimizing for size isn't the same as optimizing for context.

Still using one as a daily driver to write code and read articles on. (1gb ram, 1.6ghz, Win 7)

It's painfully slow at browsing some websites, but runs VSCode and all of the dev tools just fine. There's some weird pleasure in knowing that if your stuff runs on that, it will run anywhere.

Those Russians who are on your side are very sorry for your tragedy, but don't feel responsible for being born into a dictatorship. And those who aren't, are vocally unashamed for other reasons.

If this is a US-only service, it should say so on the website somewhere.

I've also had this experience with e.g. Betterment and Wealthfront. The only way to find out they're US-only is halfway through sign up process, not even anywhere in FAQ's.

I've had the opposite experience, and everything just works once you install the suggested extensions.

For C++ specifically you just need to create a .vscode/c_cpp_properties.json file to tell the intellisense where to find include folders, which defines to assume, and such.

I use CMake's FetchContent. It's probably the most universal solution for this out there.

I use a script I wrote in an hour, which parses nginx access.log and prints last visitors to a "_stats.txt" file.

It's 90% requests made by bots, so I didn't bother making a UI.
