Is this portable? does it support incremental compilation? What about doc generation? code generation? running tests? generating test reports? Of course things are simpler if you restrict yourself to 10% of the functionality.

An apk is just a ZIP file, as you yourself were saying. So if you want to build it all via bash scripts, feel free.

Great, then why don't you ship your software with bash scripts then?

I mean, many people who "hate AI" don't think that LLMs are useless for everything. I'm very unconvinced by e.g. using LLMs for coding, but that they'd be good at tagging content, sentiment analysis, etc.? That&#x27

That's like saying "programming is just creating files with content". Python is a purely interpreted language that runs in the context of your file system. Java code needs to be compiled and packaged, you have to write a mani

The difference between a tool that leverages incremental compilation effectively and one that almost always has to build from scratch (at least on CI) can be pretty huge and not "in the order of seconds".

Does Mill have the capability to enforce dependency constraints on transitive versions without declaring them explicitly? I find this to be quite a useful feature for dealing with automated security review and gradle can do that: https:&#x

JVM build tools have to do much more than just dependency management because of how the JVM works (e.g. packaging resources). It's not really comparable.

My main problem with Maven is that it's dog slow and incremental compilation doesn't really work, especially on CI. For huge repos that's a real issue. In a sense I feel that part of the microservice craze is due to the fact

Few people who advocate for software quality want better software just because it's more aesthetically pleasing. Often, we've worked on codebases that were nearly collapsing under their own weight, where adding even small features

To be fair, that's not a very difficult sentence to read for someone who has studied a moderate amount of Japanese. Doesn't mean you could actually order food.

The time of the year probably matters too. I didn't find Japan to be terribly overcrowded when I went this February. Certain areas (and the minuscule Kyoto buses) were, but that happens in every tourist location. I also went to places

These companies may be smaller than FAANG, but I also feel that if BASF disappeared overnight it would have a larger impact on the world than if Facebook disappeared. HN is sometimes incredibly biased towards consumer tech.

These are all huge companies in my view. In addition to them there are also countless small to medium sized companies that nobody's ever heard of, that don't experience hypergrowth but have slow and steady growth - especially in t

It matters in the sense that it is unclear whether the findings generalise to other people. Which is a problem that a lot of studies, even with more participants, have because they may not have a diverse enough set of participants. But in t

People travel to Berlin to go party in clubs, not for home parties. Partying in someone's apartment is a thing in probably every reasonably sized city in Europe, not just Berlin. Although you should probably alert your neighbours.

It's definitely better in Europe, but certain courts and DPAs (especially the Irish one) are unfortunately known to be incredibly business friendly.

This argument in favour of mediocrity and catering to the lowest common denominator is one of the key reasons why I dislike people who want to shove LLMs into everything (including art).
