I'm glad to see this keep popping up. It gets pushed down, very quickly, when it does. I suspect the reason for that (nothing other than a "gut feeling" that I get, seeing the story pushed off the front page so quickly, every

They seem to be very good at "mob tactics." No one can prove anything, for example, but anyone knows that people that piss Putin off, need to stay away from windows in high places.

I recently released a total rewrite of an app that's been shipping for the last couple of years, with moderate success. The new version gives me a baseline for adding a lot more capability, while maintaining Quality, so I'm beginn

Hoka is great. I have several pairs. I tend to go through a couple of pairs a year. Not that long ago, they were an oddity, around here. Let's hope success doesn't spoil them. I used to use Nikes, then something happened, and the

They definitely have their own servers. There was a post about that, some time ago. There’s a sibling post to yours, about them. Not sure about the backplane architecture. I’m pretty sure they are custom datacenter rack units.

Somewhere, there’s a kudzu recipe book. I think the roots are quite good.

I won't link it, here (the last time I did, it got flagged), but look up Guy Macon's Insult File. Not a single word that would have tripped the content filters of the time.

This seems to be changing, in the year of heavy LLM use that I’ve done. When I started, I had to review every line, and frequently found bugs, but lately, I’ve been impressed with the quality of the code. I don’t think that I’ve had to make

I have had the same experience. I’m still in the process of revisiting and refining the many hand-coded dependencies that I’ve created, over the years. Most of the issues found, were corner cases, that would likely never be encountered, but

Yeah. The other app doesn’t copy the user data part of my app, so they get a pass.

by ChrisMarshallNY 1mo ago
I scoped out exactly that. The issue is that I store user data. Also, the users of the app are a very privacy-sensitive demographic. That raises the stakes, considerably. I can't just "vibe code" an app that does the same t

For the last couple of years, I've been crafting and shipping a free app that Serves a particular narrow demographic. It works extremely well, but is a native iOS app (I don't write Android). When I first developed it, I worked

Sounds like it's something that must have been painful, all around. Boards really don't like doing things like this, as it signals instability, and shareholders hate instability. That's why so many boards leave clearly no

I have a friend that was in the music industry for decades, and listening to music was a significant aspect of his job. To this day (he’s retired), he won’t use wireless (even ones with bespoke connections), or ANC headphones. I use AirPods

Eh. As a Mac user, my AAA choices are limited. I mostly play Borderlands 2 & 3, and NMS. I’m not a huge gamer, and these have been enough for me. I just play in bursts, when I’m taking breaks from coding. I don’t like playing with other

I’ve seen that happen a couple of times. I know there was an infamous Microsoft one, where the demo BSOD’d on Bill Gates (Not WWDC. I wasn’t there, but I’m sure there’s video). Microsoft used to demo real unstable stuff. I remember one WWDC

Absolutely none of the announcements today, make me want to go out and get something. I am giving the Duo a year or two, to work out the bugs, and get more capability. The extra screen space isn't really interesting to me. The only one

That can be applied to anything, including tech. I don't think bringing in extremes, improves the conversation. I seem to remember a guy living in a cabin, writing manifestos, and mailing bombs to tech people and academics.
