@williamvincent.bsky.social just pointed to an article that uncovered that Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without any consent www.thatprivacyguy.com/blog/chrome-...

If your plugin causes UI freezes for users, you need the right diagnostics to investigate and fix them. The easiest way to collect reports is the JetBrains Marketplace error reporter, but today it does not expose the freeze dumps it already collects. Please upvote the issue in the comment!

Many developers care deeply about IDE performance, so we turned an internal post by Konstantin Nisht into a public one. It covers the architecture behind UI freezes in IntelliJ-based IDEs, what it took to move more work off the UI thread, and the results so far. blog.jetbrains.com/platform/202...

IntelliJ Platform Gradle Plugin 2.14.0 is not a casual upgrade. I’m live tonight at 9 PM CEST / 3 PM EDT on Twitch, X, and YouTube to break down the release, the breaking changes, and the features that matter. I’ll also update the Plugin Template to see what the new setup really looks like.

New Key Promoter X release: 90,000 downloads in 8 days. 7.5M overall. With all the AI coding hype, I didn’t expect this much demand for learning shortcuts. Turns out many of us are still writing code and want to get better at it. plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/9792-...

This is either brilliant or scary: Anthropic accidentally leaked the TS source code of Claude Code (which is closed source). Repos sharing the source are taken down with DMCA. BUT this repo rewrote the code using Python, and so it violates no copyright & cannot be taken down!

Not at all. In fact, I hovered over them the first time ever after reading your post.

New video: Plugin Model v2 for IntelliJ Platform plugins. A plugin is now split into content modules, each with its own descriptor, dependencies, and classloader. It leads to better reload, clear dependencies and paves a way for Remote Development. 🎥 youtu.be/Kfsu0ITcvs0 #JetBrains #IntelliJSDK

Lovely video, especially the filters in OBS for enlarging single views. I have an AmScope with a good cam wich only works with the bloated manufacurer's software. So I created a single view app using Raylib that always shows only the microscope image and nothing else.

IntelliJ Platform News: If your plugin reacts to lots of file events, this VFS update is worth knowing. I break down what changed, what the old EDT-coupled behavior was, and what the new background-capable listener APIs actually give you. youtube.com/shorts/4EfWx...

After a discussion about how best to get the view of my Siglent oscilloscope into OBS, I didn't want to accept that the browser is the only option. It turns out you can use a WebSocket connection to access the RFB data directly. That means, you can implement an oscilloscope viewer natively :)

Delivered in just one day by Batronix.com and I'm happy like a little kid. I unpacked it, and if I turn it on now, I know exactly what will happen for the next couple of hours... Thanks @f15y.com for the tips and the handholding.

I'm all excited about the upcoming live stream next week. I love talking with Yuriy about Platform topics and the live stream is going to be lots fun.

In the world of JetBrains IDE Plugin development, priorities shift as you gain experience. Experienced developers are 140% more likely than new developers to prioritize improvements to API documentation comments. Here are many more interesting facts: blog.jetbrains.com/platform/202...

The best side projects come from your kids asking, "How does this work?" Some time ago, I showed them that viral "squint to see Jesus" image. I sat down and wrote a Stable Diffusion pipeline with a control net in Python. Here's the YouTube Short: youtube.com/shorts/DLQ9C...

Day 1 of the Advent of Code puzzles is a fine opportunity to revisit the various definitions of the modulo operation and, specifically, how to calculate its zeros within an interval.

Dear Spotify, The absolute last thing I want your app to do, on any platform, is to display anything that moves. Stop reopening panels and showing me videos. Please. PS. I'll also never ever use you to listen to a podcast, so if I could just disable all of that, would be great

I'm 45 minutes into the video, and I like this documentary a lot. The discussion that starts at 20 minutes is eye-opening. youtu.be/1W_mSOS1Qts?...

We're running a Plugin Developer Survey to guide the future of the IntelliJ Platform SDK. If you build plugins, we'd love your feedback. Blog post link here: blog.jetbrains.com/platform/202...

If you don't own a Google Pixel 4a phone, you may have missed the whole debacle around Google pushing a SOFTWARE update that crippled their phones. Tonight, I replaced the battery. The surgery went well, and the patient is alive and well. 2 more to go... www.androidauthority.com/pixel-4a-bat...

Profiling the GPU memory usage of your PyTorch algorithm looks quite nice. I should sell it as abstract art...

I love this comment and I'm glad that there are users out there who understand the situation: "Why does Copilot have Claude support and JB doesn't? I don't know. Maybe because MS has billions in cash and JB doesn't and MS can shower Anthropic with money." youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/LLM-24...
