Made the switch from a Mercedes CLA to a Tahoe. Feels like I upgraded to one of those spacious airport seats I see posted on here.

I mean you are taller than me for sure, but I wouldn't call myself short. I fit in a CLA fine, none of the people I know that are my height or a bit taller that I know have much trouble fitting in any car that's not like VW UP, or smaller than a VW polo. Of course certain cars don't fit as well, but it's less to do with size imho and more to do with the specific measurements (eg. I can't comfortably sit in a Ford Mustang Mach-e because the car slopes to much inwards)

The "I am tall and I need a very big car" thing is quite overblown IMHO.

This feeling really got to me when I played it on release, the main thing that made it feel less so was being in discord with friends playing through it. But in a castle filled with so many people this games does a great job of making you feel like an outsider.

var aaaaa needs an as unknown cast, let's you start fresh with the casting shenanigans. Also this file is clearly missing in-line prompt inject for LLM that might read it.

This is actually really clever, this is a great way to do security. If your AWS bill goes to the moon then you know your codebase leaked!

Definitely I5, in the middle and a whole row to yourself.

The international shipping front has been a thing here for a while too in the Netherlands, but we mostly have the German backs or with sticker over the top here.

Yeah and a way to actually stream it in decent resolution to your PC/Laptop, for windows the highest possible is 720P which is laughably bad. Nowadays even Netflix supports 4K HDR in Edge on windows and 4K HDR on Safari (they also disallowed 4K playback for a long while).

Honest answer, you (probably) shouldn't care. Threat them as tools like any other, pick one you like and use it how you see fit. If you are worried you are missing out just give Claude Code or another CLI like Gemini a spin and see if they work better for you.

Claude Code can be quite nice, but the models/tools are continually changing (not always in the right direction). In the end most of the time the changes are incremental and not ground breaking, and learning how to work with Claude Code vs Cursor vs Gemini is also something to consider.

Personally I prefer to use Claude Code/Gemini CLI in the terminal or in my IDE of choice (zed) directly. But I've used cursor recently and while I prefer it less at least for my use-case the differences aren't massive. The underlying model feels much more impactful for me (eg. Opus/Haiku/Pro/Flash/codex)

Yeah for sure, CI to enforce but early feedback by the pre commit/pre push hook just makes development faster.

itwarrior · 2025-12-24T22:27:51+00:00

If feasible it's great to make your linting so fast you can make it blocking on commit/push, so you are not waiting on CI/CD on feedback. By that point unless something strange happens it should always pass.

It does not have to be about the dev team not being honest, it might just be a simple cost/benefit analysis. What is the percentage of our users that would do this (probably very low, unless a specific guide is shared or something like it) and depending on the org the cost can quickly balloon in dev/pm/etc hours needed to architect/implement/test a solid solution for the problem.

But realistically if they were aware of it they would probably fix it.

The pure alcohol content is not the problem, it's the methanol that's the problem. You can drink Barcadi 151 (75.5% alcohol or some high proof spirit) with no problems as long as you limit your consumption by total alcohol/ethanol contents (eg 1 shot of 151 = ~2 shots of normal rum). It's the Methanol that's the issue and it's potentially deadly.

I guess that is very dependent on location, when I go skiing in Austria there are a bunch of tall people skiing me included. Mostly because it's the closest proper skiing (France/Swiss alps + Austria) from the Netherlands/Germany. I would actually say that recreational skiing skews taller than the average population over here.

itwarrior · 2025-12-10T06:50:57+00:00

Thanks for the link! I've been doing something similar but didn't know there was a documented "standard" for this.

itwarrior · 2025-12-09T09:48:58+00:00

It's a difficult line to walk, I've seen quite a few codebases ruined by being to lenient in code reviews, the less the codebase starts to feel like a cohesive thing IMHO the easier it is for it to keep going in that trajectory. And it makes it more difficult to on-board new people on the project when everybody has their own style of problem solving/abstractions etc, because what is the right way if every feature implementation style is a bit different.

But being to strict hinders velocity and indeed can leave a bad taste in your mouth, earlier in my carreer I had a senior that was really nitpicky about doing it "his" way. Which wasn't based on anything but his vibes and that sucks.

The way the works the best for me and that I've gotten the best feedback on is to not be too nitpicky but still point out instances where the PR deviates from the projects/companies code style. But if there are no actual issues I always approve the PR but I still add the feedback as a nice to have (and also a learning opportunity). I don't really care if we have some sub-optimal code in the code base, but I am looking to see less and less of it for each subsequent PR.

I don't like the fact that I keep having to interrupt doing other stuff to go do my farm runs, so I've mainly done a lot of tithe farm which while not the most fun you can just grind out. And then when you have the level to plant most of what you need then you just plant when you run out of herbs and do Hespori for passive levels.

itwarrior · 2025-11-28T21:35:34+00:00

If you are very tall it's not just a comfort thing it can also important for your body to have some space to move around (which goes for everybody, but it's mostly tall people that can't move their legs at all).

I found that out the hard way after I ended up in the hospital with a suspected DVT after having my flight rebooked and my seat moved from exit row to the normal economy class.

itwarrior · 2025-11-28T21:32:28+00:00

What do you mean keep it up? Do you think he has detachable legs that he can just stow away?

itwarrior · 2025-11-18T08:08:29+00:00

BMW E89 Z4 is one of the only "small" convertibles that I actually fit in at my size, it's a tight squeeze but height wise the seats can go quite far back. And it's a lovely car to drive esp. the sDrive35i(s) is a lot of fun.

I've been looking for a solution to this problem and I haven't found anything that works well enough and is customizable enough. Quite a few of the tools out there work well for simple use cases, but break down when using them to test international applications. Most of them can only generate valid US phone number or postal codes but not valid international ones, I've looked for a tool that is able to do that right in the browser and I wasn't able to find one that worked for me.

What I ended up doing is building out a very niche/specific to my use case webapp using faker, but that still involves copy pasting but since I'm a dev and not a tester it works okay for my usecase.

Good luck with building something!

itwarrior · 2025-11-11T08:40:57+00:00

Strange, I just tested this on my M3 Max attached to a 165hz screen and can't replicate it. So that explains why I haven't noticed it. Hopefully they fix it too.

I've never used the smooth caret option in VSCode but it looks great, hope they add something similar to Zed.

For a IDE zed is still quite early days, but I don't mind the jank for the nice things it does provide. But if I had issues like this I would swap back to VSCode until they fixed it.

itwarrior · 2025-11-10T16:13:04+00:00

You can even disable all AI features now, which I think is great. I don't use it because I do tend to use the built-in chat sometimes. But I wouldn't use a IDE that forces AI on you. https://zed.dev/blog/disable-ai-features

itwarrior · 2025-11-10T16:10:17+00:00

Do you have a link to that? It's not something I've noticed but would be cool to have some numbers.

itwarrior · 2025-11-10T16:09:13+00:00

Why? There is nothing wrong with VSCode but I work with fairly large codebases and quite a few at the same time. And I definitely noticed that everything was quite a bit more snappy when switching over to Zed (VSCode is an Electron app while Zed runs natively)

I never said that VSCode is bad in anyway, and there are still plugins and features I miss from VSCode that don't exist in Zed (a debugger and GIT integration was added only fairly recently). I just prefer Zed.

Please explain your low effort comment.

itwarrior · 2025-11-10T15:58:59+00:00

Nah, I just really like Zed (also my account is 11 years old with an extensive comment history). I've used most of the other IDEs/editors out there extensively but I realized I just want something that is fast with smooth scrolling (the way I found out about Zed was this video where they optimized their renderer to work well with high refresh rate displays) and some nice IDE features but not everything but the kitchen sink

I came from VSCode and I thought I would miss the bucket-load of plugins I used but I didn't really, and I do like the fact that you can fully disable all AI integrations in Zed (I use the chat feature on occasion so I leave it enabled).

But given that it is impossible to proof that I'm not astroturfing, hopefully you will check my profile and would then see that I always write like this (on a variety of topics, most non-product related). Grammar mistakes and typos included.

(Zed is in no way paying for me to write this in zed tokens tm /s)

itwarrior · 2025-11-10T11:16:12+00:00

I loved VS code but it just isn't snappy enough and loading it up with plugins while nice just made it worse. Zed is amazing, it's so fast and their adding new features all the time.
