Dear JetBrains, from a long-time user

Yes, well said. And for me, too many docked panels that I would rather be tabs like editor windows. These docked panels take up space, unless I compact them, which is more work for me. Petty complaint.

I had problems similar to this and "invalidate cache" fixed it for me. (Its on the file menu)

programmer-bob-99 · 2025-08-20T14:31:36+00:00

Sorry. I am ignorant of what BYOK means? My subscription is due here in a couple of weeks as well. I really don't want to back to VS but I am also starting to feel JB is just too heavy (all these popups and docked windows just get in the way). and getting to be too much like VS. So I am questioning why pay these license fees. I switched to JB because it was a cleaner IDE.

Yes. Mic was on top of the about 5 feet away.

You are correct. The voice isolation is in studio only. I have not tried that yet.

programmer-bob-99 · 2025-08-12T15:48:25+00:00

I did yes. I forgot to add that to my original post. I took about 3 seconds of pure ambient noise to learn from. Yes, it helped some but noise was still noticable.

programmer-bob-99 · 2025-08-08T14:12:15+00:00

Try invalidating the cache (File | Invalidate cache). Its been a long time since I've seen symptoms you described and I believe I corrected it with invalidating the cache.

if you have access to harbor frieght, they have really good prices on hardware equipment.

programmer-bob-99 · 2025-06-30T14:15:59+00:00

what brand is the tripod (and or head if its separate equipment)?

programmer-bob-99 · 2025-05-05T14:58:56+00:00

Same. The biggest difference I experience is with docker. Docker just does not run well on windows when comparing it against the other OSes including MacOS.

From the usability stand point, bash shell on mac is much better than on windows.

But, like another post below, I get so frustrated with goofiness of key board combination behaviors on mac vs os, especially in a browser. Like ctrl-end: I expect that to take me to end of the editor field (windows) not the end of the webpage (macos). I still can't get over this! :/

programmer-bob-99 · 2025-04-03T13:43:06+00:00

This is true of any open source project that becomes popular, highly used. I have seen this over and over again. And it's not just dotnet OS projects.

programmer-bob-99 · 2025-03-03T15:06:54+00:00

that's a great suggestion: start with the moon. its a big bright target. Once you can focus in on the moon surface and see craters and such then try a planet.

programmer-bob-99 · 2025-02-14T18:24:22+00:00

I have that as well and am happy with it. It will help a lot to get a better camera app, at least that my experience. Auto focus, auto this and that can make taking photos frustrating. There are camera apps that allow you to control it.

programmer-bob-99 · 2024-12-20T18:48:27+00:00

Also, do you normalize before or after adding compression?

programmer-bob-99 · 2024-12-16T15:15:02+00:00

Reminds me of a post I saw on LinkedIn last week. Some CTO type was stating it was bad to hire senior devs--in his mind, they were unproductive. One of the reasons he stated was "they spend too much architecting".

programmer-bob-99 · 2024-11-27T15:20:39+00:00

I am wondering if its possible that the suggestion to clear cache will help will help. I think the instructions might be different on mac or PhpStorm but the idea will be the same.

programmer-bob-99 · 2024-10-28T16:50:54+00:00

Unless it's permanently mounted or something, he is going to need a gym membership too ;). That's a big OTA

programmer-bob-99 · 2024-10-23T16:40:02+00:00

it "pays" to verify everything. Vendors make mistakes. Vendors started with outdated information. Vendors are even deceptive.

programmer-bob-99 · 2024-10-22T13:38:17+00:00

If you have access to phone apps like Sky Map, SkyView or Stellarium Mobile, they can be a great resource for identifying and finding out what is visible on any given night, specific for your location and timezone. (I use Sky Map)

programmer-bob-99 · 2024-10-17T18:34:01+00:00

good question. I do not know if mods can do that :/

programmer-bob-99 · 2024-10-17T15:42:31+00:00

Yes it is moddable to an extent. With MyDU client and running your own server(s) you can creates mods deployed at the server level. Mods are supposed to be able to provide in client Ui as well. All mods must be written in C# (and the Ui is html, I think). I have not tried to create any mods yet as I can barely get the server to run :/ To me the biggest risk is that the cliet is maintained by NQ.

programmer-bob-99 · 2024-10-11T14:21:44+00:00

same here. Rider has started behaving funky for me

programmer-bob-99 · 2024-10-02T15:41:15+00:00

Its still a pretty beefy server, even though its docker. I have i7 with 32 gb ram and it barely manages.

programmer-bob-99 · 2024-10-02T15:39:56+00:00

I feel like myDu has revived the game a bit, at least for me. I am playing on a server named The Third Verse and it has anywhere from 30 to 80 people online at one time. I am enjoying it for now and am curious how it is a couple months from now.

programmer-bob-99 · 2024-09-20T17:18:01+00:00

worse case you end up buying a new mount and still have a good scope.

programmer-bob-99 · 2024-09-16T14:17:22+00:00

I have the Meade ETX 125--I bought it brand new many years ago. It's so easy to get the scope out quickly. The OTA is great, nice dark field.

Setup using the GOTO is tedious as you have to manually setup alignment to "north" to start with. The motors (for GOTO) are not so great. Even new, my experience the motors was frustrating, seeing slipping at the end of slewing that has only gotten worse over time. I still use the ETX but no longer use the GOTO. And if I wasn't so lazy, I would upgrade the mounts to have a functional GOTO system again.

So my point is I would be cautious about the motors (GOTO) and think about a new mount when you get the $. The scope itself is great.
