Been a folding phone user for multiple generations now. The flip-phone style ones: Excellent! The folding aspect really aids in switching between a small device with minimal controls to a normal phone. I would use these over a standard phon

They don't follow basic design principles. If i have to tell the ai every detail of basic design then... Well... I do not consider that very intelligent for a software dev. I do use AI extensively and get it to spit out vaguely accepta

Nice! Thank you.

That does defeat the claim that AI is intelligent IMO. I should not need to dance with instructions in order for the LLM to behave intelligently.

Which of these has effective accessibility support? I suspect if such a filter was applied there would be very few. Probably just the bindings to gtk, qt or appkit.

Everytime i read one of these vibe coded projects i wonder: Is AI capable of building well structured programs? Designs with strong separation of concerns. Clean code. Short, well defined functions. This is not how I'd design much of t

I'd love to try these new phones. My current phone (Google Fold) is terrible. However 1. google pixels are the best android devices AFAICT. Not a high bar, but that's that. 2. due to the prevalence of spam and scam calls: Not havi

I left amazon, in part, because of this realization: Much of management was exactly doing that. That was back in the BERT days and even then writing was on the wall.

How do you educate people on stream processing? For pipeline like systems stream processing is essential IMO - backpressure/circuit breakers/etc are critical for resilient systems. Yet I have a hard time building an engineering te

I appreciate the spirit. Not treason, but definitely anti-making-shit-better.

I use Jira a lot and... there are keyboard shortcuts. There are keyboard shortcuts for Confluence. I did not know about the jira shortcuts until recently. Not really a huge deal for me. Seems like linear's are definitely better but sh

You're welcome! I think akka has been making great strides in polishing the rough edges. (Along with the rest of the Scala ecosystem TBH). Unfortunately that doesn't seem to generate the hype I'd argue akka deserves shrug

I've had good success with akka at multiple companies. At Protenus the core ETL is based on akka streams. Which has worked great. No notable issues. Tho we don't run in clustered mode. At glngn we didn't use akka streams (out

The reason is the concern that users will confuse issues with the project with issues with how the project is distributed in Nixpkgs. He doesn't want to have to support nixpkgs. There are likely multiple root causes. The whole space of

For fun I've been analyzing the contracts posted to r/CryptoMoonShots. Out of 20 posts 16 of them used the same contract; modulo names. This contract blocks everyone from removing funds but the owner. How? Is it some complex chunk

No cynacism meant. My mistake. "motivations" was incorrect. I was trying to ask about how the business of AWS manifests such a thing. Which I think you've described. Thanks!

While the above case is (arguably) crime. In general crime is unrelated to this issue. As for licensing: totally agreed. I would like to see more projects with protective licensing. Too many projects are basically donations to Amazon.

"please don't" doesn't pay the bills. You want those people to avoid transferring the reigns for cash? Find some sustainable way to pay them. No amount of feel good platitudes will do that.

I wonder about the complexity and AWS motivations. What does AWS gain by improving IAM? There are barely any competitors, so they won't be losing people for that. They offer their own AWS professional services happy to charge you for m

"hence not in CLI applications" is that specific aspect accurate? I'm no longer mac user but thought mdfind ( https://ss64.com/osx/mdfind.html ) was the command line version of what smart folders use. Not

Looks like this one has edges that are easy to grip. Samsung phones should take note ;)

(scala dev here) Scala has a history of embedded domain specific languages that are difficult to understand. (Rather like Perl now that I think about it.) This is not universal in scala EDSLs but definitely exists. So it's a fair conce

No worries for Amazon SDEs! The amazon software developer "outside contributions" agreement basically states that you are not allowed to do anything without approval anyways. /s Seriously tho. When I was employed by them thei
