This is pretty cool, too. If you're using JetBrains IDEs for remote development, check out the updates to Toolbox. It's bringing in the functionality from the Gateway into the app that already controls your local IDEs and projects. blog.jetbrains.com/toolbox-app/...

In case you missed it, all JetBrains IDEs have an MCP plugin so that you can interact with the IDE from your desktop AI app. plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/26071...

Michael Kiwanuka. Super cool gig. What a voice.

And now got tickets for The Beta Band! This is good.

With the latest version of @jetbrains.com AI Assistant, you can now use Claude 3.7 Sonnet 🚀

Woohoo! Ticket acquired for LCD Soundsystem in London in June!

This story is extraordinary

The Beta Band on tour!

IdeaVim is a fun project to work on, and now you can get a free year's subscription for contributing! Check it out, and let's see those PRs! github.com/JetBrains/id...

Word of the day is ‘huff-snuff’ (16th century): a hectoring bully or braggart.

TIL don’t set git to automatically prune tags when you use lots of local tags for book-keeping work in progress sketches

Oh this is nifty. Get automatic sub-language support in string values, straight from the schema

Richard Donner told this great moustache-related story about working with GENE HACKMAN on Superman.

Just showed @mariephillips.bsky.social this astonishing crane shot from Soy Cuba (Mikhail Kalatozov, 1964) and then went to look online to see exactly how it was done. Lots of speculation (magnets, hooks, wires) but I could find nothing that step-by-step definitive. youtu.be/6hiV9NQnoa4?...

GitHub is getting slower and slower. Used to be super snappy.

Don't know why, but just rememebered a bunch of gigs I went to that I've never added to setlist.fm. I went to see Air - one of them was wearing a cape, and the support act had a theremin with the best bass note I've ever heard. But can't remember when it was... www.setlist.fm/search?artis...

Amazing. Devils Bridge near Aberystwyth, Wales. The original medieval bridge at the bottom, the 18th-c turnpike road bridge in the middle and the modern 20th-c bridge above.

Decided to have a crack at some of the Vim builtin functions that haven't yet been implemented in IdeaVim. There are a load that are really straightforward, and once I've done a bunch, @intellijidea.com's AI Assistant kicks in and it's impressive how well it predicts what's next. Tab to accept!

What an incredible discovery! #Birmingham’s lost connection to #DoctorWho unearthed, amazing!

This is a lovely article

shout out @jetbrains.com for Rider and its INSANE gamedev setup. I've been spending so much time learning the Unreal networking, being able to set env vars and debug the server has been a godsend in iteration time. Sure VS can do this but the menu item *is just right there* in Rider. **chefs kiss**

just hit CTRL+SHIFT+V by accident in Rider and took 2d8 psychic damage. There was a clipboard history built into Rider this whole time?!
