   Works on a Pixel 4A 5G.. Pretty sure that's not doing any fancy on-device models! That said, there was a popup today saying that assistant is now using Gemini, so I just enabled it to try. Could well have changed in the last week.

   Of course it does. Think about how, even in software, knowing that a physical shipping of a product (CD / Blu-ray) can be updated from "day 1" has led to poor quality releases with last minute patches. The cost of having to p

   I think the GP's point (badly made) may be that the Lord of the rings example is addressed explicitly in the article. "titles containing a colon are split and either side counts as a title drop. So for The Lord of the Rings: The F

   Have you seen vanilla js lately? It's moved on massively as a language, picked up many, many new paradigms. Going back to code more than a few years old and your newer devs are going to be asking "what's all this var nonsense

    But in a system that exists without tests (this is the real world after all), the current functionality is already enshrined in the app. Adding tests that capture the current state of things, so that when that bug is uncovered tests can eas

    Anecdotally, in my friendship group, Airbnb in Europe seems to be losing ground quite rapidly, especially from a mind share perspective. Prices are similar to hotels.com, with silly house rules, cleaning fees and hassle vs just turning up a

    Bear in mind that not everyone is a native speaker. Using simpler words ensures the widest audience. I agree that not every piece of writing has the same intended audience, but I take umbrage at the use of the term "singleton masses&qu

    Submitting an update is infuriating with Google maps. Submit an update, accepted, and now working as expected. Three weeks later and it's back to broken again. It's like every update just wipes the corrections that have been submi

    That's a very negative take, and seemingly unfounded. As with a lot of modern open source, the monetisation comes from providing a hosted/ supported cloud version so your engineers can spend their time solving your core busine

    I love svelte, and is what I reach for personally, but it's still early enough in its lifecycle that there's constant changes / new paradigms being introduced, especially if you include svelte-kit (originally it used sapper).

    If you click the link the original SAAS (Panel Bear) is now "a part of" cronitor.io. Wonder if they kept it as is, and how many people manage it nowadays.
