   Or, they hit the brick wall that is US anti-money laundering laws. It’s illegal to “tip off” (warn) the person if they’ve tripped the AML checks. At that point, it doesn’t matter how many friends you have on the inside, unless you’ve got on

   If this is being regenerated every commit, I’d be interested to see the version history and/or being able to see the CodeWiki diff inside a pull request. Maybe it’s too noisy, if the LLM isn’t stable about the way it’s wording things,

   I first learned of it reading the intro to American Cake, by Anne Byrn. It covers the history of cakes in America, through (updated) 125 recipes. The current recipe for pound cake calls for 6 large eggs, but the notes on ingredients in the

   To be pedantic: Opt-shift-hyphen for the em dash (longer one). Opt-hyphen only gets you an en dash.

   I haven’t run a biz on Stripe, but as an ex-employee the two potential problems I worry about for you immediately are: 1. Account takeovers, helped by your service. Maybe a non-issue in practice, but it’d be a PITA if you get tangled up in

   Yes, there's a difference between "all documentation for a project" and "prompt for specific task". I don't think there should be a big difference between "documentation of specific breaking changes in a l

   > LLMs open up the door to performing radical updates that we'd never really consider in the past. We can port our libraries from one language to another. We can change our APIs to fix issues, and give downstream users an LLM prompt

   Thanks for the reply. I do agree with sibling comment from tasuki that I think you’re missing the simpler solution of plain git repos to solve “owning your own data in a future-proof manner”. If you’re not trying to coordinate work among mu

   What about git makes you uncomfortable? I saw that you didn’t want to use a 3rd party provider, but why not stick a git repo on your VPS (which you are trusting with your data today) and use that to coordinate syncs between your client devi

    I was curious about what they meant by strength, and the link at the bottom of the article says this is tensile strength. So the comparison to spider silk was actually appropriate. I also noticed that it’s from 2015, although it was still n

    I think it’s most interesting for 3rd party SDKs (analytics, advertising, others?), because they’re in a position to have their code running in apps from different vendors.

    I’m fascinated that they aren’t requiring an entitlement for all usage of setting & posting notifications through this API. A way to share 64 bits of information (at a time) to any process on the device? That is right in the wheelhous

    I really liked Practical Electronics for Inventors, Fourth Edition, by Paul Scherz and Simon Monk. I’m definitely interested in more electronics books for self study though.

    My guess is that 30k LOC is the 1st party code, and there’s probably a bunch of 3rd party dependencies that are also compiled as part of that. But maybe I’m wrong

    Same frustration, exacerbated by the mobile keyboard. I played on an iPad with large attached keyboard, but had to hunt & peck at the on screen buttons.

    My guess is 30k is their code, but their dependencies are much larger and 10 mins includes a clean build. I also wonder if that's developer machine time, or CI build job duration. Hopefully developer incremental builds are much faster.

    re: SSL/TLS certs My first thought is using one of the ACME-based certificate providers, since DNS control of a domain is sufficient (either TXT record or directing requests to a HTTP server you control).

    long shot: I’ve got a USB-based ESC/POS printer, but couldn’t get my mac nor RPI to recognize it as a printer through CUPS. The printer shows up in the USB tree, but (maybe?) needs a driver to be recognized as a “printer”? I was trying

    Absolutely. I don’t follow the scene, but early in the iphone’s product life I distinctly remember a web-based jailbreak, where you loaded a page and then you could ‘slide to jailbreak’. I don’t know if user action was strictly required, or

    I wasn’t entirely satisfied with the assertion that older code has fewer vulnerabilities either. It feels like there could be explanations other than age for the discrepancy. For example: maybe the engineers over the last several years have

    It can be super useful for detecting the timing or relative ordering of code blocks. Something like “what order are these 2-3 methods called in and does it vary?” is so easy to hear as you navigate through an app. Or if you’re doing somethi
