I had a lot of fun building these measurement widgets in #Flutter. They were pretty tricky to get just right, but the final product with haptic feedback feels so good! Building the dial forced me to relearn some trigonometry that I had forgotten long ago 🙂

@thsottiaux @JustinBleuel Hello @JustinBleuel I have a paper cut https://t.co/qlqUp62P71

[Max Lapides @maxlapides]

@simpsoka Here's a little paper cut. Some of my branch names are long and similar. Right now there's now way to tell which one is which from the branch switcher.

@AdamRackis Unfortunately I don't think caffeinate works very well with the lid closed. Maybe with some additional hacks. If you don't care about keeping the lid closed, perhaps caffeinate is a nice solution, but you'll have to re-run it whenever you restart your computer.

I’ve been trying to tell everyone, you are seeking an HDMI dummy plug. It’s under $10 and it changes the game.

[Adam Rackis @AdamRackis]

What … what the fuck is this

[Max Lapides @maxlapides]

@AdamRackis Should also work while the lid is open, or plugged in to a real monitor instead of the dummy plug.

[Max Lapides @maxlapides]

@AdamRackis Sorry, I'm not responding to the silly ChatGPT response, although it's very silly.

If you want to prevent your MacBook from going offline while the lid is closed, leave it plugged in to power and plug in an HDMI dummy plug. Voila, it will be online 24/7 :)

My Apple TV has been struggling like never before. Hopefully that means Apple is about to finally release some new hardware 🤞

Had a dream last night where a coworker was so blown away by my typing speed that they couldn't stop talking about it.

I don't understand why this post is getting so much attention. Here's the last thing I'll say on the topic: this email is just ONE of MANY signs I've seen recently that Cursor's business is not healthy. Time will tell. This is muted now, so you all are yelling into the void.

[Max Lapides @maxlapides]

Wow, so no one is using Composer at all. They are growing increasingly desperate. But don’t worry, we’re not in a bubble or anything like that.

@zshotdev You can’t short a private company, silly

@jedpolglase ARR is fake

[Max Lapides @maxlapides]

I don't know when this happened, but there are simply too many teenagers replying to me on here. Go hang out with kids your age!

[Max Lapides @maxlapides]

@chef_zlatko I'm not saying the product isn't good. I'm saying that people are choosing not to use it. I just don't think Cursor is experiencing the growth that they hoped for.

[Max Lapides @maxlapides]

@bergamota_mb For the record, I do actually use Composer 2.5 at work sometimes, and it is a really nice model.

[Max Lapides @maxlapides]

Why are all these random people hopping in my mentions to defend Cursor, a company that almost none of them are affiliated with. Why do you all care if I lightly insult them? I certainly wouldn't get this response if I were hating on a non-AI company.

[Max Lapides @maxlapides]

@IrrationalShuma I am a software engineer in SF, and I'm telling you: that sentiment simply isn't here.

[Max Lapides @maxlapides]

@IrrationalShuma Neither of us have Cursor's internal user numbers. I am speculating that the situation is not good. Disagree if you like, I don't care.

[Max Lapides @maxlapides]

@sobasuper They can certainly try. My point is that I don't think it's going well.

@katia_bazzi I am enjoying the tokens now, but worried about the future!
