unfuncoon Claude Code gets native LSP support

JetBrains are shoving it down our throats though, I have to uninstall their AI plugin after every IDE update, CoPilot suddenly stopped working? Oh, it's because JetBrains has enabled their AI auto-completion feature and it's broken CoPilot.

unfuncoon Eliminating JavaScript cold starts on AWS Lambda

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.

unfuncoon JWST reveals its first direct image discovery of an exoplanet

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.

unfuncoon Britain's Latest True Crime Thriller: Who Killed the Sycamore Tree?

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".

unfuncoon Britain's Latest True Crime Thriller: Who Killed the Sycamore Tree?

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.

unfuncoon Britain's Latest True Crime Thriller: Who Killed the Sycamore Tree?

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.

unfuncoon JetBrains defends removal of negative reviews for unpopular AI Assistant

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

unfuncoon JetBrains defends removal of negative reviews for unpopular AI Assistant

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

unfuncoon JetBrains defends removal of negative reviews for unpopular AI Assistant

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.
