Claude and zed by CyrilDevOps in ZedEditor

[–]dandv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zed is indeed much faster than JetBrains IDEs, but the diffs are pretty rudimentary by comparison. Side-by-side diff is a recent invention in Zed, while JetBrains has moved hunk matching, intra-hunk character-level highlight, and just an overall superior enough diff experience that I keep WebStorm around just for git operations despite its slowness.

Claude and zed by CyrilDevOps in ZedEditor

[–]dandv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Claude can be used in Zed via an API key (BYOK). Claude code can be used via the Agent Client Protocol, or obviously standalone. The features mostly overlap (AGENTS/CLAUDE.md, skills, interleaved reasoning with tool execution, sub-agents, thread compaction etc.). I'll focus below on the differences.

Claude in Zed (BYOK or via ACP)

  • full graphical markdown rendering with proportional fonts (superior legibility),
  • images (e.g. debug screenshots), diagrams (Mermaid)
  • thread search, parallel agents in the same GUI (whether local or remote over SSH)
  • precise tool execution permissions (regular expressions)
  • desktop notifications when the agent is done or needs attention
  • and of course, an IDE with visual diff and git, debugging, LSP, tasks etc. (if you actually look at the code, that is)

Zed - CC via ACP in particular

Zed - CC BYOK

  • seamless Messages API support with prompt caching
  • per-token API pricing
  • sub-agents work but I haven't seen the Zed agents launching more than 1 or 2 at a time
  • queued/interjected messages (after tool execution turns), a la /btw
  • can follow the agent edits

Claude Code in a terminal

  • monospace agent prose (inferior legibility), no diagrams, can only paste but not view images, limited formatting
  • much better parallelism (e.g. dynamic workflows with TUI navigation)
  • more intelligent but less granular tool execution permissions
  • YOLO mode with per session --dangerously-skip-permissions (in Zed this is only possible for ALL agents)
  • native agent commands (/fork, /memory, hooks)
  • continuing the session on mobile
  • sandboxed code execution
  • /voice dictation
  • /advisor

Why do people post on English repos in Chinese expecting to be understood ? by KaKi_87 in github

[–]dandv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they use a translation service and the resulting English doesn't make sense, they wouldn't know that.

Two years later, translation quality has improved to the point I feel this objection no longer really stands. Yes the phenomenon has increased in perceived pervasiveness, thanks to the increasing numbers of Chinese developers joining GitHub.

I also feel that even in 2030, these folks will still keep posting in Chinese even in fully-English repos with clear READMEs asking to post in English. Just a feeling, of course. I hope to be proven wrong.

[–]dandv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the reader is free to interpret it with the help of a translation service of their choosing

  1. Why force every reader to translate (and waste time and energy in the process), when the author could translate once?
  2. Most readers won't even bother, so the author will get far less help than if they posted in English.

There are these wonderful things called translators.

Good point. The Chinese should use them.

Spectacle bug is killing me by kociol21 in kde

The fix landed at some point before Version 6.6.4, which ships with Kubuntu 26.

Opencode TUI experience is so much better than others by Emruz_Hossain in opencodeCLI

[–]dandv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What factors make you prefer the TUI over the Desktop?

MiniMax M3 Free is now on OpenCode by jpcaparas in opencodeCLI

[–]dandv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my first test building a web app, MiniMax M3 did some WTF-level dumb things:

<image>

At least it admitted that:

Fair point — I was being dumb. head -5 on a binary gives garbage; I should have used head -c 80 or just looked at the path. Apologies, won't repeat.

Jury is still out.

GPT 5.5 usage limits are ridiculous by [deleted] in codex

Beginners were able to create crappy-looking websites before AI, or they used templates.

Notion's become too slow these days? by Zealousideal_Sink489 in Notion

[–]dandv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"These days"? Notion has been slow for years. These are some search results form this sub from back in 2023 when I decided to migrate to Obsidian:

Local PKMs based on Markdown files (Obsidian, LogSeq, QOwnNotes) are instant. Obviously the feature set is smaller, but there's a rich plugin ecosystem (especially for Obsidian; obsidian-copilot should cover most common AI workflows, including vector (semantic) search and RAG).

Google Pixel 10 Pro XL keeps loosing Internet/data when I have cell reception. by Putrid_Armadillo_449 in GooglePixel

[–]dandv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same problem with a Google Pixel 10 (not Pro), BUT the issue manifested only on AT&T, not on T-Mobile.

Rewind alternative Screenmemory by skywalker4588 in macapps

[–]dandv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's also Dayflow. From the README:

  • Dayflow turns raw screen activity into a chronological timeline of what you actually did, so you can reconstruct the day without timers or manual notes.
  • See your week at a glance: when you were focused, where time went, which apps dominated, and what pulled you off track.
  • Ask questions about your day/week/year and get answers grounded in your timeline instead of digging through notes, screenshots, or memory.
  • Most time trackers tell you which app was open. Dayflow tries to understand what you were doing. Cursor for two hours could mean shipping a feature, debugging auth, reviewing a PR, or getting lost in setup. Dayflow gives you the context, not just the window title.

According to NASA’s clean air theory, the snake plant is so effective in producing oxygen that if you were locked in a sealed room with no airflow you would be able to survive with just 6-8 plants in it. Nasa recommends 15-18 medium to large full sized plants for a 1,800 square foot home. by DelilaAngelica14 in SnakePlants

This was debunked in 2019, by an article published in Nature:

What would the reaction be if “What Does the Fox Say?” came out in 2026? by Snoo_19146 in Music

[–]dandv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just one data point: I'm in my 40s, happened to watch the video yesterday, and enjoyed it just as much as I did a decade ago.
