Heh, I saw this thread just recently:

https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/1euwht3/webstorm_is...

Most discussions I've seen, including that one, say that VS Code is slower than most lightweight text editors but faster than most IDEs (including WebStorm which is IntelliJ). I don't personally have experience with IntelliJ, but in my experience VS Code is very noticeably faster than Eclipse.

That linked thread also mentions that compared to IntelliJ, VS Code has better remote development, a less cluttered UI, better support for multiple languages in one project. And _many_ people mention the better performance.

Personally, running an open-source project with a lot of contributors who are young or from third-world countries, it also matters a lot that VS Code is free.


> VS Code is very noticeably faster than Eclipse

Even IntelliJ is noticably faster than Eclipse. This is a heavy indictment of Eclipse, not any other editors.


I feel like accusing someone of lying is a bit of a leap. I would just guess the guy you're replying to lives somewhere easier to drive than SF.


My friend's been learning programming with Github Copilot and gets refusals there sometimes, for seemingly no reason; so here's an example for you:

Yes, most microwaves with dials do in fact work like this.

Compare the the distance between 0 and 1 with the distance between 5 and 6 on this microwave:

That's a bit different, it's got graduations on the knob. I'm thinking of a pure encoder-based system, where the absolute position doesn't matter but the change in position (and rate of change of position) do. Think like a mouse scroll wheel, but with acceleration.


That only goes up to 6 minutes though.

30 minutes involves a much more extreme change in distances... and then of course in the speed of the knob as the timer runs back down.


You're misinterpreting that sentence. This overview of the case was posted:

And in it, it talks about Google's defenses (innocent dissemination, qualified privilege, and justification), so clearly Google did show up.


You don't have to write good UX from scratch to get non-OS scrollbars, there are CSS rules that let you style scrollbars while keeping most system scrollbar features and accessibility.

No comment on whether or not that's a good idea, though.


I suppose "nobody used that product anyway" is way more true of Microsoft's dropped projects than Google's, and that's important.

Everyone here can name Google products they loved which they can't use anymore. For me, the big ones are Google Reader (RSS), Google Inbox (bundles, and the Travel and Shopping email categories), Google Now (flight information), and Google Hangouts (SMS integration).

For other companies, not so much. I can name minor things, like I miss macOS's old 2D virtual desktop grid. And an AirPort router would have been nice. And I'm sad Amazon Go is being shut down. But nothing on the level of those Google shutdowns.


I'm pretty sure Caroline deleted her Tumblr accounts because a Twitter mob was digging through them and doxxing her friends (many of my friends were scrambling to hide their connections to her).


There's a sense in which cookies can't do any harms besides tracking, while a browser extension can do much worse.


The EU laws require the banners to be shown to all EU citizens regardless of the country they're in, right? I think the only way to be absolutely safe is to show cookie banners everywhere.


No it doesn't. It stipulates that the site operators need informed consent to track you using cookies. So what they do is nag you with dark patterns to obtain it, creating an annoying experience.


No, it applies to EU residents, no matter their citizenship.
