Idk what has changed, but I used PyCharm like 10 years ago and it was fine. Way faster than other IDEs in fact. I only stopped cause I switched to vim.

Eh, haven't needed it. Especially now that there are AI coding agents, but even before that. If I really wanted to run some static analysis in IntelliJ, always had the option to do it separately from my real editor.

JVM settings are always wrong no matter what, it's impressive

Haven't used an IDE ever since I got used to vim and installed some basic plugins like YCM. Everything else feels too slow.

Oh I didn't mean open source, it can be a binary (if applicable), but same problem, they'd need to provide a way to run the online servers locally. The third option is a refund, which isn't feasible.

Sucks, but it's the cost of having different standards. Same thing happens trying to import random cars to the US.

Idk if this makes it better or worse, but I won't fight to the death over open source/hardware, I've got Apple stuff. It's also not the same thing because computers don't pollute like cars.

Yeah the desire makes sense. The Macs are very nice hardware. You can get a mobo/case that's not much larger than the GPU itself, but it's still clunky. It's just, unfortunately eGPUs are unlikely to become more than a curiosity.

Mac lets you run any software you want, but I understand the principle of not wanting to support them.

Thunderbolt still doesn't provide the full PCIe bandwidth, but even if it did, I'd want PCIe itself. I don't trust the encapsulated version over Thunderbolt to work the same.

Virtualized Linux would be ok though. That's what datacenters already do with their GPUs, albeit on x86 not ARM. Doesn't need to be Asahi, cause that's unlikely to completely work.

New Zealand sounds unreasonable. It's reasonable in like California. They don't mandate yearly checkups, just smog testing which is every 2 years for cars older than 8 years.

Was going to say, you only hear stories from the relatively few people who have issues, not the people who go in and out as usual.

It would basically mandate subscription model for online games. Also wonder if it'd introduce legal risk for online mode in a game that also has local play, say Call of Duty or the newer Super Smash Bros, or if "ordinary use" is clearly not that.

It would be fair in general to disallow charging a one-time fee for something that's shut down soon later. I don't expect perpetual support, but there should be some target based on the price that any well-intended software maker will exceed.

Also if you advertise "lifetime license," that should mean lifetime.
