OTA updates are definitely nice to have and I'm surprised there's not a way to do so with native iOS since RN and Flutter already support it. Technically it is possible with dynamic frameworks. In practice though it's somewha

Xamarin with .NET and MvvmCross falls into the same bucket as RN and Flutter IMO, unless something changed since the last time I looked.

Very excited to see this as an official project! I've been toying around with multiplatform frameworks like RN and Flutter for a side project of mine but they never feel right. I'd rather use the native UI per platform and have a

So this seems similar to https://temporal.io/ , am I reading this right? I used that briefly a few years ago and it was pretty nice at the time. It did make some features much easier to model like their welcome email example

Not really sure what you mean by a "human-friendly" file format, can you elaborate? File formats are inherently not friendly to humans, they are a bag of bytes. But that doesn't mean they can't be better consumed by tool

I've been thinking lately that maybe we need a new AI-friendly file format rather than continuing to hack on top of PDF's complicated spec. PDF was designed to have consistent and portable page display rendering, it was not a goal

As others have said the Sagrada Familia is incredible and I had high expectations given all the controversy around it. I've visited many historic churches during my travels and it's my favorite one. Really neat to see it reach thi

Why would a company like Lyft/Uber partner with Waymo at this point? That sounds like doing a deal with the competitor who _will_ completely kill them off in the future.

You can never rely on support reps to escalate UX issues to product teams for a couple reasons. First, from their perspective if they are able to solve an issue by following their script, even if it took 20 convoluted steps, everything is w

This is a great use-case of AI. However I strongly doubt your point about "It's not going to replace anyone's job" and that "they also free up the human agents to do higher-value work". The reality in most plac

Personally I like the UI for https://conductor.build/ a lot more than this, although I'll have to give it a try. I see a lot of commenters asking why a GUI is necessary. When you're running several agents in paral

Yea sure, there are still some spots where I might find DaisyUI helpful, like building a quick internal admin page for something. And another commenter pointed out this works in non-react projects unlike shadcn. But I would know going into

I agree with others that this is not how Tailwind is meant to be used. For example, the approach shadcn ( https://ui.shadcn.com/ ) takes is much better IMO. Creating helpers like `btn` makes it very difficult to understand ho

That's super cool, I love the SciShow videos. I think you're right about the editorial thinking + what do people find interesting parts. But that doesn't have to be solved by directly by AI, it's easy enough to sidestep

I'm not sure I understand the outrage. Before Discord, everyone used forums. And those were archived by Google for the entire world to see. What's the difference?

Having built some toy parsers for PDF files in the past it was a huge wtf moment for me when I realized how the format works. With that in mind, it's even more puzzling how it's used often in text-heavy cases. I always think about

When I worked in the travel tech industry several years ago, it was basically unfair to compete against Google Flights. We just accepted they didn't have to pay for marketing and had infinite compute to work with, and had to differenti

Lot of nice improvements here. I'm actually quite liking the async API after using it in a couple small apps and learning the fundamentals. I really wish the entire Swift team would spend a quarter fixing bugs and improving the compile

Main actor by default is a decent strategy. It's usually pretty obvious when something needs to happen off the main actor.

You can't say that and then not share where you moved to. Now I'm curious. I don't live in the Bay Area so not defending it in any way.

I thought the same until having to do slightly more complicated and "off the beaten path" workflows. I'm still amazed at how easy they make building CI jobs now, but I also get frustrated at how it's not a "local fi

The easiest logical way I can make sense of this problem is to apply it to humans. Copyrighted material has tremendously impacted my thinking and work, but I had to pay to access it. And as long as I'm not publishing copies of the copy

How do you determine what is "proper form"? All forms are arbitrary until a best one is picked, although that's highly variable to specific individuals. Did you work with licensed physical therapists to determine this? After

Great write-up! Apologies if this side-tracks the conversation, but why do we as an industry complicate the naming of such techniques? I don't remember what "string interning" is off the top of my head, but a "string loo

It's definitely a very gray area within Apple's policy. Shorebird (Flutter OTA updates) describes it best in their FAQ ( https://docs.shorebird.dev/faq/#does-shorebird-comply-with-a... ). It seems to be as long

I could have worded this better since running xcodebuild is obviously outside of Xcode. But it's not a stretch. Is it possible? Yes, of course. Bazel and Buck iOS builds have existed for a long time, and many large teams use them. You
