> you can put stuff on your personal devices without a fee, but the binary expires in a week... enough to learn and debug, but not ideal for a personal tool This sounds like dystopian cyberpunk written in the 80s

Maybe it will push people to seek out more in-person interactions, which would be a good thing.

This is very close to my fist build. I believe 3600+ in my case. Edit: ok I looked it up because I was curious and newegg never deletes anything from order history. Athlon 64 3200+ and 6600GT. Windows XP Home with Service Pack 2. I got a gr

That was a nice collection of brief history, links to research and other articles, and original thoughts.

You need to use them for things like Cloudflare and Denos HTTP servers, which is actually a fairly common (and nice) pattern: https://blog.val.town/blog/the-api-we-forgot-to-name/

I find dependabot very useful. It's drives me insane and reminds me of the importance of keeping dependencies to an absolute minimum.

Google's moat with Android is the same as it's moat with Chrome: complexity. There are very few entities that could fork Android.

Not lightyears. About 20 years, which is how long it took Google to pile on the mountain of complexity and inefficiency to accomplish this.

This matches my experience using Gemini CLI to code. It would also frequently get stuck in loops. It was so bad compared to Codex that I feel like I must have been doing something fundamentally wrong.

I think a lot of opportunities are closing. But I also think a lot of new ones are being created. Pretty much impossible to predict. AI may end up being like "the bomber will always get through": https://en.wikipedia.o

On desktop it can be pretty simple. On mobile it can be a hot mess. Essentially with LGPL you have to provide a way for users to replace your version of the LGPL lib with one they choose. Also the company seems to be trying to wiggle out fr

Bevy releases have a lot of breaking changes, and so do many of the 3rd party plugins.

Matrix is the only one that offers the killer feature of Discord, which is being able to join many communities from a single login. Sadly Matrix has never had a good UX for me. IMO they spent too many complexity tokens on e2ee and there are

I think relatively few programs need to be large. Most complexity in software today comes from scale, which usually results in an inferior UX. Take Google drive for example. Very complicated to build a system like that, but most people woul

It depends on your threat model. Mine includes the compiler vendors abandoning the project and me needing to make my own implementation. Obviously unlikely, and someone else would likely step in for all the major languages, but I'm no

A large percentage of the code I've written the last 10 years is Go. I think it does somewhat better than the others in some areas, such as relative simplicity and having a robust stdlib, but a lot of this is false security. The simpli

But you have to admit it loses a certain shine in the cases where you know that what you're doing is no longer solving a problem that could be solved simpler and cheaper another way.
