This looks like fun though (thankfully), it is illegal for someone to use AI to vet your profile under the AI act. Imagine the dystopia of having to convince a chatbot of one’s qualifications.

I live in a country with 3 national languages and I happen to use all of them + English + another one where most of our clients are based. Mistral is the only model atm which doesn’t make a mess of it all. It’s not perfect, but it doesn’t f

Add to that - Apple’s usual base of developer friendlies are at an all time low of goodwill and devrel. - people in various regions are thinking about alternatives to US brands in general. Apple’s departure from “privacy first” is also not

I think that’s WASI Preview 1 that’s currently supported by swiftwasm (and I don’t think the spec implementation is even complete), not the current WASI 0.2. Preview 1 was the current status quo about 2 years ago. Writing WASM in Swift so i

Temporary but measured in years and forced on every Swift dev out there … hard to dismiss. My comment was not about that though, I was more thinking about the super slow build times, unreliable SPM with strange limitations, Xcode still show

You’re mixing up the visions :) JVM support was the buzzword for last year’s “Swift on the Server for realz”.

Interesting proposal though it does sound a bit too general. “Improve cross compilation”… current Swift tools are barely keeping it together for the “happy path” of building for Apple devices (it’s not that happy). It would be cool to expan

Indeed, it’s technically possible, but the level of discomfort, workarounds and paper cuts to get there makes it entirely a hobby thing. If you really want to make “something” for the purpose of using Swift go ahead. If you want to make som

Some of us are also Swifties :)

Out of curiosity, do you disagree with the point? Or perhaps you have something to add or interject?

iMessage is a very limited and glitchy app when it comes down to it. Just from the top of my head: no E2EE by default. Gifies are restricted (and censored). Reactions are clumsy (there are two rows of different kinds of emojis to choose fro

The post conveniently forgetting Apple has at least two “helps us improve” toggles on by default, using content from Safari and Spotlight searches to “improve their services”. Privacy is really “redefined” here.

Fine, the ads and the crypto should be enough, right?

Agreed, this should've been the Chromium mention instead of Brave (crypto, ads, that CEO...)

I don't understand articles discussing “trust” and throwing in Brave. Are you unclear what trust means? A proper trustworthy Chromium-based alternative would be Vivaldi. Even more, as a company based mainly in the EU, they've mana

My point was, you use the language features to separate concerns into manageable pieces (which CSS can do just as well as TypeScript). Tawilwind was created at a time when we were still feeling the IE days, triton was still a thing and peop

Interesting how things have changed in the past 17 years! Google of today, would rather own one's thoughts if they could, let alone things we write in their address bar.

That deserves a discussion on its own, including the silly foot logo.

Describing one’s … favourite desert? (HN is American so not sure we can say the word here) doesn’t constitute an insult - people say it all the time irl. But you’re also right that BBC wouldn’t be a good name for a design tool either. Namin

It’s time for a new name. “gimp” may be semantically correct but it hardly prepares one for a “friendly and powerful graphics editing tool”.

Nice post. It really is a challenge to find time and mental space for one’s creative moments when everything around us is literally optimised to maximise engagement. Even places like Netflix/Prime/AppleTV where we’re supposed to
