As a native Chinese speaker that's always my confusion when communicate in English as I would feel that the word/phrasing can not express the meaning in my heart.
That's beautiful. E.g., I have Chinese coworkers and now I realize what they meant with "that's not wrong". I felt those expressions like humbleness, but now I realize they were trying to keep their authenticity. Mind blowing.
This is somehow real as I'm not so good at English but as a native Chinese speaker it feels a little bit hard to find the word/phrasing to express what I want to, but I guess your target audience should be more clear on what you are trying to express since it's the native thought process that the audience be familier with.
To me personally, the same meaning requires a lot of extra work to be expressed in English rather than in Chinese.
It seems what you're pointing out is coming out a lot in this thread. As a solely English speaker (with very little French/Spanish), it's actually a bit of a novel concept for me.
I'm curious though:
Do you find it particularly hard to differentiate or clarify between you having 0 want or negative want?
It would be convenient to have an unwant in common English. However plenty of children manage to express their utter -10 want of vegetables rather too well. ;)
I'm in the same boat as a JS/TS developer for years to get used to npm install the recent AI command line tools under global scope, it's really weired. Personally I don't event install front end toolchains global as almost all of them work under project scope.
But I totally get the idea behind this, it's greatly combined with the cargo toolchain and is widely installed than cargo (which by the way npm is much easier to install than cargo with my personal experience), npm handles update nicely, and it can handle multiple arch too. I would still prefer npm install because I have installed a lot recently so it's ok.
So true when I'm running multiple agents in one project with multiple terminal windows. For example, with one working on implementing tests and another working on features, the feature agents will complain that the tests are not working and need fixing, while the test agent(s) will report outdated test coverage results due to newly introduced files.
Really user here:
Switched from vscode to zed for ~2 weeks entirely in a windows PC, getting back to vscode today, just not feeling good enough:
1. zed updates frequently, but I'm not feeling any update at all. I mean, no new features, not fixing stuff that I'm experiencing that's not good enough;
2. while it put heavy in AI stuff, the ACP thing and the integration of codex and claude code just not working as expected as is. Especially I'm getting really poor outcomes from the same tool in zed compared to the cli itself, which is really frustrating;
3. the terminal in windows zed is barely usable, it's slow and slugish, sometimes the texts or some symbols are not rendering properly, it's just not stable at all. I really like to use the terminal inside the ide especially when I need to start up dev server, but with zed I'm used to open an extra terminal app when I need to start up dev server;
4. I'm a frontend dev, which means the tech stack should have great support in morden editors, but the case is not quite right in zed. I got jetbrain style inline type hints for typescript files with deferred types, but it is so annoying cause it makes a line too long I may even need to scroll horizontaolly more than may screen width to see the content at the end of the line, but the line has only 40 chars. At the same time, I'm not sure how to shutdown this feature after openning the settings. And when I want to set wrap width to 80 chars, I don't know how to do this either. The settings maybe there and are easy to tweak but it is not doing great to make the user understand it and use it;
5. it constantly showing some language servers are down and I don't know why, I do not like to tweak with settings so it could not be my bad, I don't event know how to touch the language servers;
I have more to input here but I forgot some of them, overall, I just want to get back to vscode which is much easier and battle tested. I think zed have a totally different perspectives on feature sets and stuff, that's good, so people could have another choice. Hope zed could do great and I will definitely come back one day.
PS: I don't think collab worth too much effort in an IDE, you have much better tooling out there and have better intergrations.
Quite the contrary to the points made in some of the comments mentioning that China is far ahead in applying automation tools/workflows in factories, which then shaped the competitive benifits in manufacture industries.
No, it's not.
It's actually because China is lowring the requirement/quality for delivery and makes everthing for the comsumer market to degrade rapidly so that the manufacturers has the chance to involve because of the involving needs for newer/better products.
It is a common sense here in China that a lot of manufactural products have better quality from imported sources, it is the growing needs from the comsumers that require products to have newer/more functionality even if it has shorter lifetime, or event 'better', the product is looking for growth so they are designed to be short lifetime so the manufacturer and the customer both willing to upgrade in the future.
> It's actually because China is lowring the requirement/quality for delivery and makes everthing for the comsumer market to degrade rapidly so that the manufacturers has the chance to involve because of the involving needs for newer/better products.
Isn't the requirements set by the company outsourcing to China? Because as far as I can tell in China you can produce with all ranges of quality so it feels a bit too simplistic to blame "planned obsolescence" to China alone as the whole chain profits from it (besides the end-user of-course).
Here in the west it is common sense that between products made in China and in the West the main difference is that the later category barely exists and if it does it comes at mostly unaffordable prices.
If you are as far ahead in manufacturing as China is, of course you can dictate the terms of competition and they want to increase consumption. I have zero doubt that this is anything but a deliberate choice, which could be altered by Chinese manufacturers if wanted to.
The myth of incompetent Chinese engineering and manufacturing is just that. And believing in it puts you in a dangerous place, where some day some Chinese company can do everything you can for half the price, which has happened again and again.
> It is a common sense here in China that a lot of manufactural products have better quality from imported sources
Can you name a few items that you feel that way?
My impression as a consumer is that everything comes from China nowadays, even the reliable brands. The main difference I think is the time spend around product design and fine tuning the manufacturer's process. Think about it, there's a reason why they have to make it very visible that the product is "designed with love in colorado" when all the manufacturing jobs are in China.
I think the difference here is that Siyuan is fully open source, which means you have more confidence here.
Thanks for bringing this history up, and I think everyone should be careful when downloading a new version for this product, or better build by themselves after checking out the recents commits with some AI tools.
Would be very nice if it is provided as a library to be able to integrated into another app with partial/full customizations for UI with different theme and stack.
> It is common belief in china that the state governance by the CCP is doing good for the country, and the proof is economic progress, material wealth and geopolitical strength.
I don't know, but how to define if a country is going towards a better path, if all the changes listed does not count?
If the people there belives, is it unresonable that the people not there argue about that?
I'm not saying it is not arguable, it really falls down to the North-Korea situation that almost everyone inside or outside see that place as hell, but I'm not sure if China feels alike here - a country does have significant economic progress, material wealth and 'geopolitical strength', which I don't think NK has all these.
