To anyone doubting what AI could do humanity, just think about what a well-engineered virus could do. Currently, if a government ordered a special virus with Ethnicity-based targeting, a 2-year timer, and castration-effects instead deadly-e

Holy moly PLEASE: - Do not make tapping the text act as selection. I was trying to scroll and accidentally advanced twice. - Add back and/or reset test buttons. - Give immediate feedback, rather than asking me to read 10 x 3 long texts

The Butlerian Jihad is coming. It will happen sooner than we think. It will start with Australia, where the popular vote matters the most for political power. “Vote for the Greens! We’ll ban AI! We’ll bring your jobs back! Your savings acco

My 76 old Dad loves checking the TOTP on his phone and asking me to verbally read it out when I need him to accept a 2FA push notification to let me log into his bank or government accounts so I can do something for him. He says it “feels l

Been using Pass2U for this for years. Surely this was considered earlier within Apple. I wonder what changed that they decided to do this now.

For us, Claude Design wrote one html file and a bunch of jsx files. What it built was quite functional. We used the “export” button to download the project as a zip file and I placed the contents into a directory in my monorepo. Then I wrot

This isn’t going to replace Figma. It’s going to replace the people who use Figma. My 76yo Dad just used Claude Design to make a simple commercial tenancy/lease management CRUD app. We handed what he built to Claude Code to implement w

(I’m not a Teardown dev!) I tried this on a local project. It looks very jank and the math falls apart quickly. Unfortunately, using a fixed axis-aligned grid for rotating reference frames is not practical. One to thing I wanted to try but

I think the word “solve” is better than “hide” here. Fusion 360’s heuristics are so good that I rarely run into these problems. When I do, it’s usually because it was a drastic change to a previous feature in the timeline and I’m expecting

Make a throwaway GitHub account just for it and give it PR access to your private repos.

I wonder, is Microsoft doing “outsider trading”, where they covertly pipe analytical data to the executives’ independently-owned stock trading houses as “tips”? They’ve had access to so many corporate internal emails for so long, with MS365

The Steam Link, also from 2015, is also still receiving updates! My partner and I use ours regularly to play co-op games on our TV. I really appreciate the efforts of whomever is keeping it running.

Too much speculation. Take the 18th amendment one. Maybe prohibition did have the desired effects, in addition to the undesirable side effects. The two are not mutually exclusive.

I know little about stocks, but I've heard China doesn't allow shorting stocks and many other "advanced" stock products/instruments. You can buy, sell and trade stocks, and nothing else. They also audit to ensure st

Go with WebView. As you’re a solo dev, one of your most important resources is your mental capacity. Native platforms & their dev stacks are a world of their own. Going with WebView allows you to spend your time on other things that mat

Try Zed. Open-source (GPL+Apache), reliable, fast, not bloated at all, decently configurable, amazing remote-host support, Vim mode, AI stuff totally optional, extensions/lang-servers available for many languages, and... well overall I

Or maybe Roblox is causing harm to children and nationalist governments are the fastest to both recognise and respond to the issue. We can speculate all day, but we should try to analyse these sorts of things from a learning perspective. Wh

Ha, interesting. Using Claude Code in Zed, I never encountered any of these defects. I just open a Claude Code Thread, tell it what I want, bypass permissions (my remote is a container), and let it work. And it works wonderfully! I guess th

Native escape hatch, for when you need native capability. For example, my app uses the Zebra DataWedge API on Zebra Android devices. Native experience for users, where the app appears in their app drawer/library. The app doesn’t disapp

I just rolled my own. I always find frameworks bring too many “weird errors” that waste my time trying to figure them out. Also, they’re just another thing that needs upgrading eventually, and they love to COMPLETELY change their APIs betwe

You can still have native views that appear over the WebView for certain tasks. I think you can also provide your own rendering context for <canvas> elements, so you could roll your own <video> element for showing the current ca

I did this and never looked back. It’s called a “WebView app” and you can get a really good experience on all platforms using them. Just: - don’t make any crazy decisions on your fundamental UI components, like breadcrumbs, select dropdowns

WebSockets are the secret ingredient to amazing low- to medium-user-count software. If you practice using them enough and build a few abstractions over them, you can produce incredible “live” features that REST-designs struggle with. Having

Without the resources to do a study to see if the quality is actually better or worse than other options, these open-TTS models must be judged by what you think of their output. (That is, do your own study.) I've found some of them to

I agree. Making deals with laptop manufacturers to put their trademark on keyboards is an unhealthy-for-society abuse of their market power and should be treated as such in every jurisdiction that they trade in. However, I've had no is
