I created a PR in the Elixir extension to use the checksum instead of the nightly "version" which should fix this issue:

github.com/zed-extensio...
Download nightly builds to checksum-based folder instead of version-based by PJUllrich · Pull Request #43 · zed-extensions/elixir
Should close #42 Instead of downloading the nightly build to always the same folder Zed/extensions/work/elixir/expert-nightly which doesn't overwrite the existing installation since the -nightl...

He is an astoundingly good writer and this piece is very good. Give it a read.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

FYI If you use @zed.dev and Elixir Expert lsp: Zed only grabs the newest build if the version changes. Expert only has nightly and version doesn't change.

it's such a joy to build software exclusively for yourself

definitely a form of self-care

also important to note they don't "consume" water, most of the water stays on site with cooling towers. Some places with great deals of excess water will use it and return it slightly warmer, just like any cooling process. They use water in the same way they previously "used" air.

I think about this LeGuin essay a lot. (link in next post; you should read it too.)
Its technology is how a society copes with physical reality: how people get and keep and cook food, how they clothe themselves, what their power sources are (animal? human? water? wind? electricity? other?) what they build with and what they build, their medicine — and so on and on. Perhaps very ethereal people aren’t interested in these mundane, bodily matters, but I’m fascinated by them, and I think most of my readers are too. Technology is the active human interface with the material world. But the word is consistently misused to mean only the enormously complex and specialised technologies of the past few decades, supported by massive exploitation both of natural and human resources. This is not an acceptable use of the word. “Technology” and “hi tech” are not synonymous, and a technology that isn't “hi,” isn’t necessarily '“low” in any meaningful sense. We have been so desensitized by a hundred and fifty years of ceaselessly expanding technical prowess that we think nothing less complex and showy than a computer or a jet bomber deserves to be called “technology” at all. As if linen were the same thing as flax — as if paper, ink, wheels, knives, clocks, chairs, aspirin pills, were natural objects, born with us like our teeth and fingers — as if steel saucepans with copper bottoms and fleece vests spun from recycled glass grew on trees, and we just picked them when they were ripe... One way to illustrate that most technologies are, in fact, pretty “hi,” is to ask yourself of any manmade object, Do I know how to make one?

often wonder what happens with the boomers/silent gen in reference to politics/senior leadership. Like were the boomers so shitty to work with that the silent gen couldn't or refused to build up boomer talent pipeline? or did the silent gen just not wanna hand over the reigns?

State of AI agents in Zed:

- Codex: thinks for very long: tries to one-shot everything
- Gemini: doesn't ask for permission? reverted a lot of my changes. makes big messes. sluggish.
- Claude Code: good at self-organizing, does the right amount of research, still feels one step up from the others
