Nah. It's a huge mistake, yes. But it's not the biggest. The biggest is overconfidence in AI coding solutions and attempting to replace programmers, while adding a huge expensive dependency on a third party to provide access to

no. China. Next question.

I couldn't even make it past the implication that meta ray-bans (which do not have a display) would be useful for receiving AI advice on coding.

I, personally, am very much going to push back against pair programming as a default. Being "on" all day, interacting with people is completely exhausting. Yes, I've tried it. I can do pairing for an hour or two, then I&#x

For my game, I do have a web version, but I also have native apps, because the web monetization path is just not as smooth as native. I chose Flutter because I like Dart far more than TypeScript/JavaScript. AdMob doesn't support w

Trump and cronies will absolutely wreck market stability. There will be actual shortages of basic products. But they will not be acknowledged as mistakes since the companies will be able to price gouge and maintain profits. There will be a

Yes, please make youtube videos easier to search through. And then turn the relevant bits into text with maybe a couple of still images. You know, web pages.

I'm really glad to hear a car exec explicitly state his opinions on this. Now I know that Rivian is dedicated to producing a product that I would absolutely hate to use, and I can eliminate them from my future car purchasing searches.

I skimmed the article, but the only metric I saw mentioned was that "traffic jams were eliminated". What metrics do the hypothetical robocars improve? I ask because time-to-destination is not the only metric I find myself caring

"streaming" in this case is like another reply said: transcriptions appear as I talk. Compared to not-streaming in which the service waits for silence, then processes the captured speech, then returns some transcription. Is your

Documentation severely lacking. I wanted to know whether this does streaming or only batch, as well as examples for integrating with Android apps.

While I agree with their aim and their reasoning on this bill with regard to the fact that it has been unacceptably weakened, I take issue with this quote: "the core purpose of privacy: to ensure that who we are cannot be used against

I went from 5 day to 4 day about a year ago. Absolutely worth it, even with the drop in pay. I don't have the artist lifestyle, but I'm able to support my family on my income even so. That said, note that it's not a panacea

You don't have to have individuals working 24/7 to have things open 24/7.

I actually use codemagic.io which is free at my usage level. And amazing. Codemagic has repeatedly provided painless tools to work around Apple's artificial pain points.

Apple has its own unnecessary hurdles. Mostly around requiring xcode, which requires a mac. But yeah, both stores need to be forcefully opened. They're sitting on their laurels inside their moats.

It's too bad that kombucha tastes like the liquid at the bottom of a garbage can smells.

Shameless plug for my scrabble-adjacent word game https://markmywordsgame.com . Think Scrabble on a hexagonal board, with territory capture mechanics.

I understand the author's point, sticking with what's comfortable and working. In a sense, I'm doing the same thing, but what's comfortable and working for me is Flutter. I don't have any Apple devices to develop o

why? Is Microsoft going to pay 20B to put Bing there? Would Apple users accept that? (probably, they accept every other abuse). Is Apple going to set the default to something else for free?

A previous coworker-friend who eventually became a manager practiced a shortened version of this, which I called an "open-face shit sandwich". He loved the term and adopted it.

Yes, a local-only always-on recorder/transcriber would be a killer product. Combine with a local LLM for summarization, and a simple search engine. But there's no way in hell I'm paying a subscription for this, or letting s

What do you mean "we", kemosabe?

We should be moving the other way. Open, accessible, well-defined APIs, without price discrimination. I do not want to haggle at the grocery. I want to be able to budget and anticipate pricing.

Looks neat, but the search is lacking a compensation filter. It's basically useless if it's going positions that won't pay my mortgage with no way of seeing that.

The free plan says it includes "5,000 function invocations / project" I presume that's per month, not just 5000 free then pay up? How does this compare to hosted AppWrite, which also lets you write backend cloud function
