No, I’m doing it with a framework, Dagger mostly. It works as advertised but the downsides makes it a huge pain. I’d rather do it manually tbf.

So is the metaverse AR adverts? Makes sense I guess. "Please go into an AR world, then our advertisers will be able to 'physically' interact with you." Advertisers will no longer just manipulate what we read or see but n

When the marketing outpaces the product call me skeptical. So the metaverse. Instead of websites (or social media accounts) interacting using links, we'll live in some AR reality and interact some other way? Sounds hand-wavy. Sound a m

I've made a couple. The current incarnation is two nodejs files that fetch markdown from a database and lay them out using some javascript string templates. Jekyll sites tend to be lovingly configured but then rarely updated, I've

I should try to look at the documentation again. But apart from the using the package manager, the rest of the documentation submerged you in a deep theoretical understanding of nix, going deeper and deeper, until the only thing that made s

From an app developer's point of view, the stuff shipped with AOSP is a mess that changes from version to version and from carrier to carrier and is almost impossible to develop against completely; and that's all solved with updat

I ignore articles on medium.com Custom-domain medium-hosted sites are a real pain. Medium blogs must have the worst experience in the web. I’d need to go out of my way to make a website that bad. I automatically devalue the authors on that
