Nice that it works for you. I've tried a similarly sized screen to that, and it's just too much eye strain for me. "Very wide" on a tiny screen is also a disadvantage IMO. Even something like a 7 inch ROG Ally (which is

Accurate reflection of Alibaba's cloud platform as a whole. I've never seen more misused terminology and strange word choices than when testing out their cloud dashboard. This is egregious for a model announcement though, I agree

I'm sure that works fine, but playing on an 8 inch 16:10 screen (like the Legion Go S or the MSI) has to be a better experience than a significantly smaller 6.7 inch screen. Despite the obviously higher quality HDR on your phone. Every

Thanks for introducing me to yamanot.es Quite like the simpler UI of that one to be honest.

"braze" is a very common word, especially if you like bicycles. Definitely not any less valid or unsatisfying than "zebra".

You can reference other things without resorting to skeomorphism. Like using stars to represent favorites, typography to emphasisze/deemphasize things, the color red for warnings/errors, the color green for go/submit/rea

Because the iphone can run apps made by people other than apple.

And? What does that have to do with the merits/downsides of flat UI?

To me, it couldn't sound more AI if you tried.

They are, and I am. While I don't use the words "LLM slop", I do have the urge to instantly stop reading any piece of writing that was obviously default Claude output with no effort to make it sound even remotely human writte

Any direct comparisons to base UI? I've been pretty satisfied with base UI so far, but my usage has been very basic so I'm open to switching if Mantine offers something better.

Jira already has open source clones that companies already use. Sure if you want your own, it takes a lot more that prompting, but it's not inherently a terrible idea to commit to duplicating something like that. Jira isn't some g

That's exactly what it looks like in the tools I use most (opencode and codex), so for that purpose it's a pretty good visualization.

Well said. This place has too many people who have never seen true poverty and people with the life drained out of them working shitty jobs just to be able to eat. Money has also directly lead to more happiness in my life. In fact, it'

They know it's a tough sell. Fortunately for everyone in the market, you can still find used CPUs/GPUs/RAM pretty easily and save a decent amount if you're ok with building your own. Valve doesn't need this to do we

What forums do Chinese programmers use that you would recommend exploring around in? Mainly want to see the people who are building stuff I've never even thought of.

Because I don't think that's the point of the article, which is just a commentary about how AI labs are marketing the effectiveness of their services by using terms like "8x more code per quarter" like that's an obv

Because it's fun. And why shouldn't we be into incremental automation? I still write code manually to keep my trad-coding skills from withering away, but using AI without a doubt has allowed me to better test my existing apps. Cre

I always think for myself too, but when learning to do something I've never implemented before, it's nice to have little sanity checks using something with the reasoning ability (plus the fast natural language search on hundreds o

Thanks for helping me realize my accidental anti-pattern. Can you link some of the sites that do that the worst. I want to use those as references to fix my UI (on increased font-sizes on small screens) before releasing an app I've spe

by elxr 3mo ago
Thanks for the tip. That does make sense, although I do think having your default CSS-defined font sizes (across your whole app, not just the main content) be a reasonable size should be the first priority. Also, not having ridiculously ove

Yup, using rem for as many things as possible has always been good to me.

Not in my personal experience. Never been in that situation, and I've worked in full-stack, FE, and BE teams.

For boilerplate, yeah. But when asking research or exploratory questions, or weighing whether a feature is well designed, or asking "can I implement _x_ feature using these libraries without introducing unnecessary complexity", th

I'm obviously not just prompting agents for everything. What are you on about? Why would I build my little web-apps and backends in the cloud when I can run things faster locally?

It's looking like a slightly updated reskin of chromeOS with gemini features built in. Definitely not a developer machine based on how they presented it in google IO. So if you write software, it's not looking like it'll be r

React has helped folks like vercel/convex/cloudflare to build fantastic dashboards. There's just as many examples of well done React as there are the opposite. I generally prefer solidJS nowadays, but the react ecosystem has

It's beautiful I agree, but that "designer" is just claude opus. Lots of examples on x and on reddit of similarly styled apps made with the help of opus.
