Sure, but Gemini subscription gives you just that - Gemini subscription, but new computer allows you to do other stuff with it as well. When you're upgrading anyway for other reasons then it's not fair to compare full Studio price to just one subscription.

In my experience they require much more hand holding and more specific directions with less possibilities to interpret a command in several ways. You do the planning, keep on eye on that they're producing and they do the legwork. It's not that their knowledge of Java or PHP or what have you is lacking, it's the long horizon planning that you have to do yourself. Technically they're good. You just have to do more thinking and more reviewing yourself. YMMV.

Huh, and I thought it's just my crappy old external monitor.

20g? How do you use it? I'm light typist, I'm not hammering on keys at all and even 32g is too nervous for me, I can't rest my fingers on keyboard without typing a novel. Can't imagine 20g keys.


You get used to it quickly. Low force useful for combos


Everything is huge compared to sqlite.


At my last workplace I was not allowed to install JSON viewer/prettier extension for my browser, but I was allowed to install VScode with random JSON plugins.


Ship of Theseus.


except it's more like someone used the Philosopher's Stone to turn all the wood bits into metal


But you see that anyway from access.log or whatever your server supports and dashboard/analytics shows it anyway? What's the benefit of adding origin to query string?


Not always.

Some web pages don't send referrers by making all links rel="noreferrer". Mastodon used to do this by default, though now they've changed their stance.

Links opened from non-browser apps don't have any referrer information either. E.g. if somebody shares your link on iMessage, WhatsApp, or Telegram.

Email clients may also strip out referrers, but I'm not entirely sure about this one.

If people read your work via RSS readers, you'll almost certainly not get any referrers. Unless it's a web-based reader like Feedly.

My website gets a lot of traffic marked as "Direct / None" by Plausible. I suspect this is traffic from RSS readers or Mastodon, but I can't be sure. A few times I've considered adding a "?ref=RSS" to all URLs served to RSS readers and "?ref=Mastodon" to everything I post on Mastodon. But like the author of this post, I feel uncomfortable tracking my readers like this.


I see where (both of you) are coming from, and I'm very privacy conscious (=paranoid) myself, but in this case, as a user, I wouldn't actually mind. It seems to me you would be tracking flows instead of users, which is fine in my book. Now, including Google fonts on every page, using their tag manager, analytics, captcha... That gives me the creeps. Waaay too much information about each and every user. But generic origin query params? Yeah, ok. :shrug:


Adblockers like umatrix have options like "Spoof Referer header". I have this setting enabled, so adding tracking query strings to URLs would go against my user preference.


Many-many moons ago I moved my mouse to the left side because I didn't have enough room on my desk on the right side. I became equally good with both hands and this has been paying dividends for years. Except I didn't reverse buttons, my brain just adapted and I never confuse which button to press.


Yup, I do exactly the same... left hand for mouse, right hand for arrow keys.


I paid happily for monokai pro vscode since it was a one time payment. However I will not purchase a subscription for jetbrains intellij because per year it'll cost me the same amount as the intellij idea ultimate and that just doesn't seem like a fair price.


You get a perpetual licence after one year of payments.
