If you buy like carpet you could reasonably expect to replace it in 10-15 years, and if you allow pets you are more likely to need to. However getting 15-20 years out of it instead without pets is probably more like double-dipping than a s

Probably should be a fee for heavy-handed people banging doors and drawers and faucets around too.

Don't really like the search, it feels like almost all the job posts are actually within the last 48 hours, which are gated by registration to view, and there are very sparse results outside of that timeframe so you search for a popula

I'd be surprised if landfill wasn't the most popular outcome when people with lego die.

I think these thoughts on what happens without the junior-to-senior pipeline have been circulating for a while, long before the conversation even shifted to agents. What it boils down to is AI staying just bad enough to always need a develo

I do something like this with code all the time, “is this idiomatic <foo>?”, I find it very helpful.

I think most of the whistles to be blown are like paper cuts, nobody's going to sacrifice their job over one papercut but nobody is singularly responsible for them all either. The threshold for something happening if a whistle were blo

Yep. Any tech contract worth doing gets 400+ applications on Upwork and 390+ won’t even be looked at. 50+ will be submitted within minutes of a job being posted! Many of the job posters never even return to the site to screen or select a

The best possibility would be allowing virtualization so you could run iPadOS or macOS (or other desktops), whatever is the best solution for the task at hand. Doubt it will ever happen though, their restrictions are two decades old and the

Ambitious but realistically, it looks like a single-developer project and that just doesn't seem viable considering the challenges are the same faced by Asahi. The logo is begging for trouble too, if you were an actual fruit shop and h

Yeah but they'll take your data and purpose it for their ads outside the games.

It's nothing to do with VR in particular. This is the top-10 from https://store.steampowered.com/charts/topselling/US , half of them are collecting data to share (and one to sell) to advertisers. The fact th

I don't think they'll be taking a stance any time soon, the top grossing apps on iPhone include YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook and Threads so this is probably worth billions/year in fees that are dis

Meta are objectively worse than Valve because Valve don't allow ads in games or offer advertising services and they're generally more trustworthy, but that's really only part of the privacy story. Each app/game usuall

It's being challenged in court (at least for Meta) but historically it has been upheld including for Google. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_230#False_information

I think section 230 immunity shielding from from any liability is also very motivating. Google was born into a world where companies had 10,000s of support personnel, today there are companies with over a million employees, they could easi

The rumours say 10 million iPhone Duo are being made, there are hundreds of millions of iPads so the numbers might not sway any opinions for a while. I think they need to aggressively court developers, just give a buttload of advertising cr

The mobile apps require signing in through the Plex website before you can do anything?

by benoau 18d ago
I don’t think it’ll work because Plex gates everything with a sign in to their online accounts, so auth would have to go through them and there might be server-to-Plex verification going on too. That said, I’m very interested in this space

Mixed feelings about this, the thing about AI slop is there's an option B where you just throw it out because you're not committed to what it had produced and not having it is even better than spending big to have it be good. I to

It's Meta so no doubt they're lying and used it to train virtual girlfriends for adolescents or something heinous. But I wonder if there is software like Sonarr / Radarr / Lidarr / etc for this media... I made Radar

Very cool. The demo limits you to 4 routes which is fine but if you paste in an OpenAPI spec it gets rejected entirely, pulling in just the first 4 routes and discarding the rest would be nicer. Presumably the idea here is you build your fr
