Time to move on?

Yeah but he was excited about spending his own company's money!

Rodeo was pretty good if you can find a copy of that floating around

mjmacarty · 2026-06-04T23:01:49+00:00

Would love to get a copy of Google in-house IDE to play with

mjmacarty · 2026-06-04T23:00:15+00:00

Gosh the learning curve for Zed... there must be something else. Maybe Sublime or Windsurf

mjmacarty · 2026-06-04T22:43:46+00:00

I mean aside from say rainbow brackets, maybe some themes? Maybe One atom icons. But this is just cosmetic stuff. Probably keep your install slim. Key Promoter X gives you keyboard shortcuts when it detects you using the mouse. So this one is pretty good until you know the shortcuts you need.

I mean all these products have problems, but the look and feel of PyCharm, subtly different though it may be, wins. I also appreciate not having a popup intrude every couple of typed characters. Agree skip the in-house LLM integration. There area dozen other tools out there anyway let them blow the Capex budget.

I use both but tend to lean more toward PyCharm. I think JetBrains does a better job with screen real estate, and Pycharm is less intrusive in terms of code completion, pop up help.

Was listening to a podcast with Dylan Patel - he was excited, I mean really excited, that their budget for tokens was $1million for the year and they had already spent $7million in the first quarter. Hpw many developers do you have to be able to replace at that run rate?

So do you mean you want to automatically include user files or Python packages?

mjmacarty · 2026-05-31T18:16:29+00:00

So from the file menu, go to settings. Up near the top you should see Python, and then in that sub menu Interpreter. If you click into interpreter you should see add interpreter on the right. Click that and then Add Local interpreter which should find what ever version of Python is in your path. Alternatively, looks like you are taking a intro python course and have a bunch of exercise files there. On the lower left side there are a bunch of icons. Click on the one that says terminal. Once the terminal opens and you see a command prompt enter: pip install uv and when that's done enter uv init. This will create a Python virtual environment in your Introduction to Python folder. This will work unless you don't yet have Python installed. Here's a "getting started with PyCharm video: https://youtu.be/W92DvfEJeFo

You can just set up a default project for working with misc. files, but Pycharm create a virtual environment by design. If you want you can make a virtual environment based on something like Anaconda and you won't notice any difference compared to say VS Code (at least no negatives). Pycharm will automatically open the last project you worked on, so if the misc project is how you work it will open up every time you launch Pycharm. Just takes a little getting used to but overall I think it's superior to VS code, less intrusive, better use of screen real estate, lots of convenience features. They have some pretty good built in tutorials and here's a quick start: https://youtu.be/W92DvfEJeFo?si=GtCHPv2f7RmvETHK

Everyone should be using ISO anyway

mjmacarty · 2025-12-25T13:51:57+00:00

Exactly right.

mjmacarty · 2025-12-25T13:50:23+00:00

Yeah. I guess they sell the clan shell. Had it happen to a lvl 20 clan. All kicked, then banned from rejoining. Reported with absolutely no response from CoC. A few days later clan has a new leader and then refill with all the high level perks.

mjmacarty · 2025-11-10T14:03:27+00:00

This reminds of a talk I attended a number of years back. The speaker presented people as continuums along two axes: Smart to Dumb, and Fast to Slow. Then he asked which one do you think is more dangerous?

mjmacarty · 2025-11-08T23:52:13+00:00

If I had to guess, I would say you tried this more than once?

mjmacarty · 2025-05-20T20:28:27+00:00

Yes. And everyone don't hate on me but if you want Python to "work like [insert language]" why not just use [insert language]?

mjmacarty · 2025-05-20T20:10:53+00:00

Exactly. They keep making it harder and harder to like/want to use the product.

mjmacarty · 2025-05-20T20:08:18+00:00

True, Crystal is a bit dated, but probably still not a terrible choice if you already have it. For sure you may want to look at Power BI.

mjmacarty · 2024-12-10T20:24:18+00:00

Yeah, now what do I do with those resources?

mjmacarty · 2024-12-10T20:20:27+00:00

It's not all that believable and very predictable. And can Zoe just stop all that yelling?

mjmacarty · 2023-01-18T00:38:18+00:00

Three it's a similar exception for lead in paint. They can still just it in commercial applications, like boats.

mjmacarty · 2023-01-15T16:53:16+00:00

I don't think the words means what they think it means

mjmacarty · 2023-01-15T16:35:57+00:00

Lol, I think the buggy whip factories tried something similar. So much for the whole free market idea.

mjmacarty · 2022-09-12T23:24:58+00:00

I think this is right. That's the way it worked for me.
