In a similar vein, I consumed some content from DHH talking about how 37Signals went no-build for Hey or something, then figured I'd play with that idea for a bit and see what its like developing a no-build site. The immediate problem

As someone who grew up in northern Indiana; 100%. Northern and middle-Indiana are pretty culturally identical, alongside southern Michigan, most of illinois, western Ohio, then extending further into e.g. southern Wisconsin and Iowa. But so

Yeah southern Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, northern Kentucky, and western Tennessee, the Ohio River Valley in essence, are culturally very similar and "appalachia-light". But IMO that's a very far cry from eastern/south-east

Tbh, I can't speak to a lot of the regions on here, but the grouping of "Greater Appalachia" is so wild. The idea that mid-Indiana, west-Texas, and eastern Tennessee have anything in common, from a cultural, immigration, qu

Developers oftentimes struggle to understand how important marketing is.

The fact that a client-side change can impact reported views is wild . Its so wildly the wrong place to track views that it forces me to wonder if its an intentional & malicious decision by Google to mobilize YouTube creators against t

Honestly if someone from Google Support calls me, my immediate response would be: "Google... Support? Now there's two words I've never heard in the same sentence before."

I suspect that the problem is the tech industry itself; the companies that were supposed to cut out the expensive, bloated middleman became expensive bloated middlemen themselves, which is why when you order a Starbucks Frappe and a lemon c

Yeah similar situation here. I've been running it since basically the day after WWDC, and I've just had this sinking feeling that its so bad, they wouldn't be able to fix it before release. Or, they don't even view it as

Maybe it would be, but I would also make a significant bet that the web would be noticeably less sophisticated without React. React is complicated, and builds complicated apps, and has its performance pitfalls, but it is also a driving forc

Next initially jumped the shark when they went all-in on server-side rendering. The reason why Vercel did this is clear: client-side rendered apps can be hosted basically for free on Firebase, Cloudflare, or S3, so the only way they can rai

React is winning because its really good. Even if the cost is an extra few milliseconds of render time and few extra hours of dev time figuring out things like hook dependencies. If React starts taking a backseat, it'll be because its

I do feel that one of the interesting things to happen to software in recent years is how most super-popular native applications (most of those developed by Apple) have nosedived in quality, while web applications have done a tremendous job

My suspicion is that genpop is not going to like it, broadly, mostly because the only people who seem to think that operating systems should have "personality" are techies. People just don't think like that; most people view

Yeah, I guess what I mean is, as a percentage of revenue, the Mac App Store is a rounding error for most developers. There's a small number of bespoke, $5-$15 apps, possibly distributed only through the Mac App Store, strongly reminisc

by 827a 1y ago
This is a deep misunderstanding, on multiple levels, not the least of which being: Mac App Store submissions, as far as I'm aware and have experienced, go through the same horrible approval process that iOS App Store submissions go thr

No one is making any money on the Mac App Store. Its likely that even Apple's internal accounting positions the Mac App Store as an unprofitable product offering, given the engineering and support it requires to run, let alone as a pro
408.
by 827a 1y ago
The odd thing about the Mac App Store is how needlessly embarrassing this is for Apple. The Mac App Store doesn't need to exist, but because it does Apple is lending its authority to these apps, and every day its customers, who come to

The feeling I get reading that is that you shouldn't interpret that conversation as a verbatim quotation. Even though the author did everything possible to make it seem like it was verbatim; a hunch I get reading the entire thing is th

Yup. Many people will never experience this, but an Apple Watch Series 10 effectively cannot track a marathon for most runners. I've heard some people say that if you put it into its low-power mode, it can barely do it, but otherwise y

Exactly yeah, my point is that there's a lot more to running these models than just the raw memory bandwidth and GPU-available memory size, and the difference between a $6000 M4 Ultra Mac Studio and a $2000 AI Max 395+ isn't actua

To be honest, much of the sense that Apple is ridiculously far ahead when it comes to unified memory SoC architectures comes from people who aren't actually invested in any kind of non-Nvidia local AI development to the degree where yo

The battery life difference is huge between OLED and MIPS. The Fenix 8 Solar gets 30-45 days of battery life. Fenix 8 OLED can get 28 days, if you turn off the always-on display; otherwise, 12 days.

One of the frustrations I've had with a few of Garmin's recent releases is how their high-end MIPS watches, Enduro 3 & Fenix 8 Solar, seem to inherit the same thick, glare-y, ultra-durable glass I assume the Fenix 8 OLED uses,

Is this the most valuable acquisition of a zero revenue company ever? I understand there's been larger acquisitions of unprofitable companies, but zero revenue at all is truly special.

I dislike Apple's behavior as much as the next guy, but my goodness what a difficult, unfocused piece of reading.

The most frustrating thing about Next.js is that it tries to be a really cool Rails/Wordpress/Meteor-like full-stack everything-and-the-kitchen-sink framework, but you quickly realize that all the opinions you delegate for it to m

When it comes to your personal data, Apple loves (correctly) to say "all of our user's data is encrypted, we can't access it even if we wanted to, so we cannot respond to this government request for data" When it comes t

Continuing the thought experiment: There's an interesting sort-of contradiction in this desire: I, being dissatisfied with some aspect of the existing software solutions on the market, want to create an isolated monastic order of softw

The fact that private entities can monopolize gTLDs, including words that aren't even made-up or reasonably copy-written (e.g. the MAN group in Europe owns .man) was an embarrassing and dishonorable decision by ICANN. I'm all for
