Error lens VSCode Extension and Apple Silicon M1 Ultra

Error Lens

Error Lens is a great extension for VSCode. ErrorLens turbo-charges language diagnostic features by making diagnostics stand out more prominently, highlighting the entire line wherever a diagnostic is generated by the language, and also prints the message inline.

ErrorsLens works for all types of languages. I love this extension as it gives errors and warnings even before compiling while writing the code. So developers can remove errors while typing.

Apple Silicon M1 Ultra

Today Apple Event launched Apple M1 last chip apparently attaching two M1 Max. M1 is a great chip no doubt in that. But as a developer, I have many issues.

Most web development apps need Ram other than anything else. The system I work on for development requires at least 64 GB RAM. With M1 unified architecture and unified memory, to get increased memory, you have to buy a big chip. So my least work chip will be M1 Max. M1 Max can provide 64GB max memory with GPU and neural engine which are greatest but of no use for me. To get the best memory which is 128GB, I would have to opt for desktop rather than MacBook with a whopping price starting at $4,799 with minimal configurations. So just to get 128GB of RAM and no other much use cases as CPU consumption of mine is less I have to buy Mac Desktop at a ridiculously high price.

Too bad a deal it is... APPLE PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.
