@dalias @beka_valentine I use it because it does (did?) a lot well out of the box. I could replace Geany (what I used to code python in) and Gummi (for latex) with it quite easily, and until it started pushing copilot down my throat, I was happy with it. It was also the first editor I used with LSP, and pylance is quite convenient.
@markmccaughrean @vicgrinberg but here's the thing: Robert Moses was absolutely nobody at 35 (!). So it can happen, any minute now, surely...

@andrewdwilliams @Nonya_Bidniss yeah knowing about that "famous" glass factory in Poltár, which closed 22 years ago, coming handy any minute now.

@cstross I've heard a pod where @timnitGebru was telling @parismarx about how the current gen of LLMs does worse job at speech transcription than the previous models/tools that were tailored for that task. So I wouldn't hold my breath.
@airtower @quixoticgeek @mgleadow @benc senk jou for tchravellink withs Deutsche Bahn.
@Rhodium103 free tier Strava is basically useless. The only thing it is good for is giving you bouts of envy. Don't do it.
@cstross Canticle for Leibowitz, huh?
