I really don't struggle that much with cold starts on Node.js/Lambda, and I don't do anything special, my build commands look like:

    esbuild src/handler.ts --bundle --external:@aws-lambda-powertools --external:@aws-sdk --minify --outfile=dist/handler.js --platform=node --sourcemap --target=es2022 --tree-shaking=true

Maybe I'm not doing as much as others in my functions and I tend to stick within the AWS ecosystem, so I save some space and I presume cold-start time by not including the AWS SDK/Powertools in the output, but my functions tend to cold start and complete in ~100ms.

Sure, but the approach mentioned here benchmarks with median performance of 16ms. 100ms isn’t great especially if it’s only one part of everything that needs to happen

The field system is probably what you're seeing, products like the EP-133 are reasonably priced: https://teenage.engineering/store/ep-133

Crikey, you do know they can be recharged, right?

No? I genuinely think most of the world will have moved on and will be caring about something else within a day, the world will be about as chaotic and tumultuous as it was shortly after the discovery of microbes.

Microbes weren't discovered everywhere all at once though. I think if the entire planet found out (through modern media) people would go ballistic.

Presidents, royalty, maybe celebrities, there are plenty of people that deserve extra protection, there are plenty of examples of animal species with small populations that deserve specific protections, and there are chairs that have more protection than others too, the Vitsœ 620 Chair is an example, and a court recognised the chair's design as a "personal, original creation of highly aesthetic value".

It was 150 years old, it makes no difference to me personally in terms of feelings, but 1000 was far enough out that I wanted to correct it. The documentary evidence was a Kevin Costner movie.

I suspect that the user you're replying to was joking

Myself, and many of my friends here in Wales were outraged too, plenty of tutting could be heard. Mindless destruction of something old and beautiful just because it's there and people enjoy it, normally an act of children who can sometimes be excused for not yet having the capacity to appreciate things, but this is two grown ups.

Small towns across the country have turned to shit, they're boarded up, with only charity shops, vape shops, and betting shops left, more and more people are turning to the countryside for simple enjoyment, especially since Covid; and now that's being chopped up violently too. It was more than just a tree.

That's not a difficult position at all, just make it an opt-in feature.

That’s what they’re evidently trying to do, but it means they’re moving too slow and the AI integration feels like a bolted on afterthought (hence the reaction to failed features like this).

I am a lifetime user of PyCharm but the reality is that Cursor is just so much more productive now. “Junie” is a decent attempt but nowhere close to Cursor yet.

If I rename a function in Cursor, will it modify the name everywhere in the codebase? (I honestly don't know)

Yes, but it will be very, very slow (think minutes for a not particularly large codebase), and probably contain mistakes. It's not at all comparable to refactoring tools like Jetbrains' rename tool.

The refactoring feature in Cursor barely works, unlike any Intellij products

Do any IDEs expose their features (like refactoring) as tools the AI can use? Would much prefer that over the LLM trying to figure it out.

I wouldn’t even want the LLM for a simple rename. Volar and TSLS seem to handle renames without issue, even across files and file types (eg Vue and Typescript)

As someone who used cloud-code (ridiculously expensive) and Junie (I am so happy with it) - what do I miss from Cursor?

I cancelled my JetBrains license a few days ago after I was required to agree to new terms and conditions, they expended no effort and took zero time to explain the changes, what has changed and why, I was shown a ridiculously long legal document and asked to agree or get fucked. There was no feedback option when cancelling the subscription, they clearly don't care.

Didn’t you read the ridiculously long legal document and agreed to it when you got the license in the beginning as well?

Probably not in all honesty, I cared less back in 2014 when I started using their IDEs.

I asked ChatGPT to give me the 1 line summary

what did it day?
