You mean conceptually or to match it? Native components are pretty much impossible to match without actually using the native framework which provides them, so you need WinUI/WPF. Win32 provides its own components which are basically W

Maybe Android has its own libc? So they compile it for Android, but not for general Linux. Also curious about this.

Windows APIs docs for older stuff from Win32 is extremely barebones. WinRT is better, but still can be confusing. I think AI is really great to start with the systems programming, as you can tailor the responses to your level, ask to solve

I have an M2 Macbook Air with 8GB and it struggles even without the light development part, and latest macOS made it all much worse. To be honest I am impressed how fast the experience degraded as there was a lot of headroom.

Apple seemed to copy this one exactly as iCloud asks you the same all the time. Honestly these days Linux feels like the only sane platform as you can customize it properly.

The rise of Electron was purely because you can share the codebase for real with the web app (for lots of apps it is their main focus) and get cross-platform support for free. Native apps are not bad to develop when using Swift or C#, they

I don't think it's worth to include the session -- it would bloat the context too much anyway. However, I do think that a higher-level description of every notable feature should be documented, along with the general implementatio

I think a lot of companies are going to get burnt on these things. Sure it is easy to one-shot something which looks close, but then you are responsible for releasing/maintaining/improving. Not to mention that you'd need to i

by bloomca 8mo ago
You can't buy client performance, so it is just more visible. It's not like there are a lot of people with Rust/C++ back ends outside of some very critical pieces.

I agree, LLMs definitely sand off a lot of personality, and you can see it in writing the most, at this point I'm sure tons of people are subconsciously trained to lower the trust for something where they recognize typical patterns. Wi

If the models don't get to the point where they can correct fixes on their own, then yeah, everything will be falling apart. There is just no other way around increasing entropy. The only way to harness it is to somehow package code pr

I think this is the logical next step -- instead of manually steering the model, just rely on the acceptance criteria and some E2E test suite (that part is tricky since you need to verify that part). I personally think we are not that far f

All your thoughts are and experiences are real and pretty unique in some ways. However, the circumstances are usually well-defined and expected (our life is generally very standardized), so the responses can be generalized successfully. You

I personally never seen anything as bad as XCode, but granted, I haven't used really old IDEs (always preferred just editors). Last year I built a few small apps using both XCode/Swift and Visual Studio/C# and using MS stack

I think fundamentally this approach is flawed for anything more complex than a simple endpoint. AI is already really good for throwaway code, that is very clear, it is also decent if you watch it like a hawk. However, the complexity is stil

The summary is often incorrect in at least some subtle details, which is invisible to a lot of people who do not understand LLM limitations. Now, we can argue that a typical SEO-optimized garbage article is not better, but I feel like the t

But in a lot of cases you can't know all the dependencies, so you lean on the community trusting that a package solves the problem well enough that you can abstract it. You can pin the dependency and review the changes for security rea

Do you need to pay the license to keep your apps in store? Or did they deprecate some APIs and therefore removed your apps? Honestly wild if you need to upkeep the license just to have it in store once it is published.

You have a very long way between assembly and RN/Flutter. I do agree that it helps to know these things, but you need to learn a lot more before it becomes more generally applicable.

React is not pure at all, and has a few gotchas related to updates. That being said, the JSX and composability of it is unmatched and I think the main reason React "won". I think a logical continuation of this model is something l

macOS warns you literally about every downloaded app not from MAS (signed!), unless you build it yourself or remove quarantine manually. I think it is mostly about expectations, macOS trained people that it is relatively safe to install sig
