They mostly help with centralising UI concerns. I’d imagine your camera app has less of that type of code and more code related to the respective camera APIs, which those frameworks don’t help much with. So I’d say no.

It's cute but are there any actual nerds left in big tech leadership? Of the magnificent seven we basically only have Jensen Huang left as a technical leader and maybe you can count Zuckerberg.

Yes, it's a leadership failure and probably time to go, it only gets worse. In my experience. It's a vicious cycle where, as velocity slows, inexperienced leadership gets more and more panicked and starts frantically rearranging p

Yeah I think they all shed under heavy load as part of some scaling strategy.

In most trading advice, cutting loses as soon as possible and as emotionlessly as possible is emphasised heavily. It's also physiologically one of the hardest parts for people to do consistently.

I don't shoot 120, only 35mm. But I thought you could get away with a high end flatbed scanner for 120 negatives?

In general it's a bit of a closed box, it's not that easy to work with and to me felt unreliable and difficult to debug. Running migrations can be easily forgotten and this needs to be done in the dashboard as far as I remember. T

The developer fee is a business expense for anyone publishing software as an entity on the App Store. This is the same as any other expense someone might require for their profession, it doesn't have anything to do with their financial

Just a heads up from someone who's gone down iCloud sync path before. Make sure you're aware of the tradeoffs before relying on it for your app. It has a lot of downsides that aren't immediately obvious due to it relying on t

Had a coworker paste an error log from a repo I maintain in Slack with an LLM summary of the log, three dot points which were written quite clearly in the log if he’d bothered to read it.

There's no incentive for them to do so, so they won't.

There's a lot to unpack here but to me your comment sort of contradicts itself. You're saying these things are in their infancy and therefore not able to produce code at the standard of a skilled software engineer. But you also se

You can do over 100k if you freelance but it's risky to be a freelancer in a lot of ways in Germany. Salaries in Berlin and Munich are approaching 100k or over for leadership roles. The problem is COL in both cities is high and Berlin

Yeah, also the CI queues start to get longer towards the end of the EU day as the Americans start their day.

The problem of meeting demand is in industrial use and residential heating, both of which aren’t typically electrified in Germany. The problem has more to do with an active war and an industrial sector built on cheap Russian gas.

I also do this quite a lot but pair it with an automated test to repeatedly trigger the breakpoint with different values and round out the tests and code accordingly.

Don’t most of these services have config options to protect against doing this? I haven’t used most of these services but it running up a bill during traffic spikes but not going down seems like it’s working as intended?

Not the OP but Monodraw predates SwiftUI by quite a while. On top of that SwiftUI is pretty bad on macOS.

Anytype responds poorly to feedback and bug reports from users, they send LLM slop back for any feedback or bug reports sent to them.

I don't spend anytime post-processing or editing apart from occasional cropping. Film gives me a better baseline for that than digital does, at least for what I want and I just prefer the process. Digital encourages a workflow thats a

I think the UX is good and could imagine it being applied well to a much better research tool.

I've looked at this a bunch of times, from a pure return perspective, yeah equities usually win. But there's enough benefits to homeownership outside of that lens that I think either side can make a pretty compelling argument (I s

What do you mean by access? APIs to program against or fully open sourcing the rendering engine? Because you can mix SwiftUI with a few different rendering frameworks at varying abstraction levels that it itself renders to (AppKit, UIKit, C
