Sometimes I just wonder why does apple don't provide such a basic features/necessities.


If you have a touch bar it does, in my experience. Tap the brightness button to open up controls for each monitor.


I don't have a touchbar mac to test, but does it work with external non-apple displays? Via Karabiner you can configure keys to change the external display brightness. Works great on a Thunderbolt Display. Completely ignores my Dell / LG.

The main reason why I think this wouldn't work is because in the display properties there's no brightness slider for non Apple external displays. There is one for Apple displays.


Yep, works with my external non-Apple display, LG.


I have touchbar, it only sets brightness of laptop, not external


Who needs basic features when you have marketing to convince everyone you’re already perfect in every way?


I recently came to this article[1] where Guardian switched to PG from MongoDB

Some people commenting this to be overpriced, but I don't think so even if they are considering the INR value. The bug is quite critical considering how large the mac and iOS ecosystem is.


"... to their exam-apporved calculator case" is a very good point, this calculator is basically used by every engineering student in their exam. And it clear that they feared that their sales might get hurt.


The first thing I thought when I saw that is that they are scared this will affect their certification. That fear, I think, is understandable even if the response is too heavy handed.


Curious, Why do you think it will be "notoriously" difficult?


If something is notoriously difficult, it isn't up to what one individual thinks. That's what makes it notorious.

Github or Gitlab?


Both? Github, originally, Gitlab, more recently.


Both I think. Met a Github guy at a conference once and he told me he worked remote.


Off-topic maybe, but do you feel the any kind of lag with TabNine. I've dropped using it after a month as its slowed down my editor.


I've come back to TabNine after a hiatus and do see the occasional lag or the process thrashing at 100% of a core. Depending on mood I'll kill it or let it recover. I find myself forgiving any sporadic lags thanks to the productivity gains.


Dror from TabNine here. We've introduced some big improvements in TabNine's resource consumption in the last few weeks, and there's more to come. In addition, TabNine's Professional version (free trial available) lets you use our GPU cloud servers which means dramatically reduced load on your machine.


Are there any plans to allow using local GPU?


Could you share the OS and editor you're using? we're working to make TabNine super performant.


Thanks for the comment, I came back to TabNine after your previous comment, and I am glad that the issues (mostly performance) looks to be resolved, yet I need to play more with it.

Edit: OS: mac os 15.4.2 Editor: Vim and VScode


No, IntelliCode is also powered with AI and does not do fuzzy matching. Fuzzy matching happens if you disable intellisense. https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/services/intellicode/


no macos?


There has been questions to apple-google ct too, but I always take any country's gov's actions with skeptism. Especially, when they are not making the details/specs public.
