AI can be a tool for the software craftsman too! Just keep a high bar for quality at whatever abstraction level you're working at - whether that's machine code, assembly, low or high level languages, or even wrangling agents. I&#

having worked at the intersection of CAD/CAM automation & actual factories, I'm disappointed with the lack of real information on what their product actually does. Going from bits to atoms is _hard_ for a ton of reasons, and t

Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite has been my go to for cheap document processing at scale (especially with 50% off batch mode), but they are really boiling the frog with pricing increases with each version: gemini-2.5-flash-lite: $0.10 input / $0

Another happy user of Handy here! After seeing so many *subscription based* transcription apps all wrapping *open source models*, finding Handy was a real delight and I'm happy to see the author keep on building!

Haha, yes flex apps definitely had a feel to them! It's easy to criticize but remember, this was back in the days of supporting IE6 and XHR was still relatively new! Flex's standard UI library was filled with bluish-gray gradien

Comic Chat has a special place in my heart because it inspired my first startup back in 2008, a comic creation web app called Chogger. The site grew to 30K monthly users, mostly K-12 educators who wanted to give their students a fun way to

it's tough for people here to admit, but AI is good at summarizing and that includes commit messages and PR fields but that does NOT mean you get to skip understanding the code & whipping the AI in line during implementation my pre

yes, microsoft does hold a trademark for notepad. As litigious as MS is I'm pleasantly surprised they've left notepad++ alone. Unfortunately anthropic is actively eroding community goodwill in regards to potential IP conflicts: h

I'm not sure why folks continue to build services with trademarked names they don't own. If Anthropic had a problem with Clawdbot they are certainly going to take issue with FablePool.

I was thinking the same thing. The tuning slide is not what you use while playing, it's the separate slide on the bell side of the trombone for fine adjustment to ensure you're in tune with the rest of the band.

Is AI responsible for the committed code? Should AI be blamed when services go down due to the change? The answer is absolutely not - the developer is responsible whether the code was AI assisted or not, and the dev's name should be at

You're underestimating Apple's meticulous planning, which has only become more intense in the Cook era. Bad feature/UX or not, each one of those decisions was calculated. Read this ars quote from 2010 [0]: >Apple used th

Apple loves to stealth test new tech in full public view by sneaking it into relatively mundane places, so debuting agentic AI via accessibility is very on brand. A few other examples: - The Touch Bar was much more than an OLED strip, it wa

I bought one of these in 2004 and it really was a slice of the future. The screen was way bigger and higher res than anything I had owned prior, and the ability to jailbreak and run emulators gave it a lot more use than just UMD games. I st

re: US Politics, I view Apple's gift of the gold & glass trophy to Trump more as a humiliation ritual Cook had to endure so that they can continue to uphold their principles, but with a less adversarial government. Sure it's g

totally valid to call out apple for issues, but for most folks already accustomed to apple's walled garden, the grass is not greener on the other side For instance, I've had a ton of issues with Airpods Max so I moved over to the
