Thanks, I was confused about why the helix editor might need screen sharing. Haha.

Occasionally I’ll find my computer slowing down dramatically only to realize a VS Code MCP server is using enough RAM to put me 50GB deep into Swap usage.

The thing is VS Code isn’t even my main IDE, I just use it to browse projects and as a text editor. I don’t need or want it to run an MCP server and I don’t know why it’s doing it.

I’m limited in my ability to provide more details, because I just killed the process last time, to move on with work, and didn’t take notes on what it was exactly. I’ll do that next time.

Has anybody else experienced something like this? It’s a very hard problem to search for - everybody wants to run MCP servers, not stop them.

I love how the documentation is in the actual .h file and the read me is a mere formality.

I’m disappointed I didn’t get this as a floppy in the mail.

I got to this from an email with the pretentiously more informative subject line “The data sharing model for your non-commercial license is changing.”

TL;DR:

  • they will collect basically all IDE actions and code snippets
  • opt-out for free licenses
  • opt-in at admin level for organizations

My thought as well, but those stones were shaped to match each other, reducing the amount of grout needed. It just goes to show the old ways still work, but you have to commit.

This is a dangerous metaphor. Remove the old wall and it turns out the new beautiful wall was leaning against and supported by it.

I get what you mean, it’s just that the metaphor could support both perspectives.

We know kids can take parents’ cards, right? And that people can look younger than they are? Never mind privacy concerns, the best-case scenario doesn’t look good.

I’d say I feel seen, but it’s really dark in here.

let a = String::from(“Hello, world!”).into()

I’ll see myself out.

My take on a summary: like C/C++, Rust can be relevant in a variety of use-cases and one could conceivably build a long-term career on it, while adjusting to market/technology interests.

Seems like a reasonable prediction?

Industrial controls equipment made by German companies can be programmed in English or German. You can also switch languages (German/English) at any time and the IDE switches over all the keywords.

Shared with my favorite blind iOS dev. Should be a good laugh!

This is super interesting. I’ll admit I wasn’t even aware of this effort. Even real-time usage of Windows relies on a parallel kernel.

This sounds like it’ll create a lot of cool opportunities and reduce friction.
