Is that still the case? Asking 3 months later.

I am currently in a job where I've been heavily leaning on agents to explain an org with a very large breadth of repositories and a lot of documentation. They help me in code review and research rather than in code generation. We have a Copilot stipend and using the Copilot plugin within Jetbrains IDEs has been an ok experience, but the reason I run it within Jetbrains and not within VS Code is to use the excellent Jetbrains IDE tooling either manually or via MCP. It also helps that your git client is imo best-in-business.

That being said, it's a job that requires dipping into multiple languages daily between different lambda code, IaC, and one-off repositories. As a result I find myself jumping between Goland, IDEA, and Pycharm to get the best experience. Ideally I would only need to use one editor and still have first-class pnpm/uv/go/kotlin/terraform/tofu/ansible/helm integration, but at present it's a bit fragmented.

The reason I use Jetbrains products isn't the AI integration. It's the ease of setup for each of the languages each IDE is individually tailored for. But that is also the problem: there is no offering from Jetbrains that really offers an excellent polyglot editor experience. IDEA Ultimate is the closest, but still falls short of the dedicated IDEs regardless of the plugins installed.

I was very excited by Fleet because it felt like it was veering towards integrating all of the excellence of each of your IDE offerings into a single package as opt-in. It seemed like you were going to take on VS Code and Zed through finally offering a true polyglot editor that incorporated your excellent git tool, debugger, and indexing. But it was then abandoned for... whatever this is.

I understand that AI harnessing is a huge focus for a lot of companies at the moment to capitalize on the current momentum, but imo it's not why I use your products. I welcome the addition of MCP capabilities in your editors, but it's the IDE and tools it offers that I'm here for, not the AI.

It's nice to let the typescript compiler catch it, especially in CI. I agree writing native SQL is far more pleasant, but there's a reason beyond reinventing the wheel to use a query builder package.

I'd rather more (properly designed) roundabouts

• LG C4 + Denon AVR-X3800H (eARC)
• RX 9070 XT
• Bazzite 44

At first I ran the UGREEN DP-to-HDMI adapter to get CEC working (connected straight to the TV), but it caused random issues at times with audio or different resolutions (would constantly cut out when set to 1440p). However it would let me turn on the entire setup from boot/wake and turn it off on shutdown/sleep. Was pretty awesome.

Now with Bazzite 44 I can get all of the benefits of running the adapter EXCEPT CEC. Would love to test run this!

It's a terrible Catch 22 but imo we should have been building for this goal already instead of needing to play catch-up. This also shows in our municipal planning in so many places. Take for example the car-centric suburban sprawl that plagues a lot of cities in Canada.

I agree with you that there's no "perfect" state, but there's definitely capacity limits. There's only so many people you can cram in a subway car before it literally can't shut the door. Same goes for cities; you need the infrastructure to house them and provide goods and services for them in such a way that it doesn't overly strain the system. At present we are already staining the system, so we really need to expedite a build-out before we can bring in even more people.

Again, not saying we wait for a perfect situation, but we need to at least give the current situation some improvement first.

Sadly I think the issue is on the source end. I don't think there's any GPUs on the market that have the correct CEC pins wired up to take advantage of HDMI-CEC.

Immigration ain't bad if we have the infrastructure to support them. At present our biggest issue imo is that we have too few cities to house a massive influx of immigration.

Good example is Halifax at the moment: huge influx of both interprovincial and international migration to the city, and it's feeling the effects. However, it's the only city in the province (that isn't really isolated; sorry Sydney) so folks who want to live in Nova Scotia come to Halifax because that is the largest economic center in the Maritimes. But the city is not designed in a way that it can house or commute this huge influx of people efficiently, and it is causing huge strains on the infrastructure. If however we had another city/economic center in the province then we could split the difference and spread out the population density (I propose Truro because it's equidistant to the international airport as Halifax).

Same goes for Manitoba, NL, PEI, Sask, NB. I'd argue the same also goes for Ontario, Alberta, and BC, but they have more cities/decently large towns to choose from. Haven't kept up with Quebec so I can't comment.

Well you see the front fell off

Do you have the project on GitHub? I would love to recreate this! Also what hardware are you using for the frame?

I'm not sure what more I was expecting haha. Thanks.

As someone who has never painted a ceiling and initially thought that umbrella "trick" was a neat idea... would you mind imparting what would be the better method you were alluding to?

Chomping at the bit to get it here in Rockingham

Oh no

Never heard of this before. It looks really neat! I like that it gets you to learn Web Components if you want more complex logic. I'll have to tinker with it myself sometime.

The show I'm most peeved about that they cancelled was Archive 81. It wasn't out for even 2 months before they announced they were pulling the plug! And it ended on a cliffhanger!

Agree wholeheartedly with you on the first two seasons! Season 3 shouldn't have happened, imo. It was entirely new material not based on the original source material, but was executed poorly and added nothing to the original premise outside of setting up a possible American-set spin-off.

A pretty well known one is The NoSleep Podcast. Anthology series. I quite enjoy it. It's sometimes hit or miss, but the production value is extremely high in the podcast space.

Does that get rid of HDMI CEC?

I mean personally it ticks a lot of boxes (no pun intended) if it weren't overpriced/underpowered. I love that form factor as someone who dreams to make an HTPC with CEC and SFF. If Bazzite/SteamOS worked well with NVIDIA in Game Mode, I'd be all over making a super-small build using a 5070 Mini. Alas there are no cards like that on the AMD side.
