Always a joy to see security and performance as a big highlight on a release. Brew is notably slow compared to the other package managers I use, but never in an unbearable way. I've always used it on my Mac work machines, but always us

Do you count any use of LLMs, including highly reviewed and controlled use as "slop"? The idea that there can be no high quality use of LLMs to aid software development is lacking a lot of nuance.

It appears to be under active development, but you're right that sharding doesn't appear implemented. I'm excited to see what they can build out over the next few years.

Comes off a bit rude, especially from the CEO. I get that PlanetScale has the currently superior product, and I listed the closest thing to it. You're right it's not ready, but in the case that the parent had mentioned of closed-s

Definitely the case in classes like that. Also a really obvious sign if you ace homeworks and get a 40% on an exam. In my CS program, I ended up having at least half the grade be from projects and labs that I watched so many people cheat on

I believe multigress is the similarly aged open equivalent from Supabase. Haven't used it myself and don't know what the differences are in usability, but I'm a bit more interested in that since it's open.

They can do it for sure, but they've deemed it's not worth it. I trust that they're in the business of making money when they feel it's worthwhile.

While I won't pay it, it seems pretty comparable to other flagship foldable from Google and Samsung.

Agreed on iPhone versions not feeling significant. I personally consider it a good thing. I'll keep my phone for as long as possible and not feel the need to upgrade. I personally don't care if Siri is the worst LLM of the big pla

I really hate silicone tip earbuds and the AirPods 4 with ANC were game changing. Having ANC without the silicone tips was just huge for me. It's obviously not as good as having the passive isolation of the silicone as well, but it&#x2

Curious what jQuery brings for you these days? My favorite jQuery features got implemented in the vanilla DOM APIs (document.querySelector and fetch being the big one for me). Now I'm curious if I'm missing out.

It blows my mind. A customer of ours, whom I respect the technical opinion of, drops fully unedited Claude posts on LinkedIn now. I don't get how he thinks they read like anything but slop.

100% on ExploitBench seems fitting given recent events.

I think it's because they're a huge player in the space and the PS5 appears to be the dominant player in the console space this generation. This affects so many people in their faces right now, where as the switch to "buying&

Occam's Razor at it's finest. I'm not trying to screw others over. I just want to not write sometimes.

The biggest problem I've found with feature flags of this nature (mostly for internal testing and the like) is that they can easily live too long and bloat code. This is also very dependent on what the feature flag on/off code pat

No that's totally fair - I want to say that I haven't, but I guess I really can't be sure. It's very possible. I'll keep an eye out for the next time I use Fable. FWIW, most of my code only encounters security conce

I hear this a lot and I believe it because I've heard it from so many people, but I have never run into this in my work, and neither has anyone I know in real life. I don't use Fable for a ton of implementation work, but I use it

I got a Kindle Paperwhite as a gift from my work and I fell in love with e-readers. Then I really didn't like how Amazon was locking down getting your own epubs onto the device (it's only gotten worse), so I quickly found Kobos we

I keep it on for my web chats, but I think I dislike it more than it helps. I'll ask a question about something and it'll find a way to tie it back to something from three months ago thinking it was a deep project I was working on

When evaluating a third-party service like Cognito in this case or a mail provider, I either require that it uses an open standard for access like SMTP or the interface that I need to use is small enough that I can wrap it in my own layer o

Suica was excellent when I had the chance to use it. I used the Apple Pay version and it worked flawlessly. I think I do prefer what I'm seeing more and more in the US with a tap-to-pay so I don't have to learn a new system, but S

It's a shame that the GitHub org that we use at my job that we pay a lot of money for gets affected the same way my personal nonsense does. I don't know the architecture or any of that, but I feel like there could be (and it'

I think that each of the products you name is the top or near the top of their category, but these weren't creating a category. I don't think my original comment says anything about "changing that industry", so that&#x27

Skipping parts in books was a big mental shift for me that has made me a much happier reader. I used to force myself to read through parts of books I already knew. If you read technical books, the overlap between them continues to grow and

Agreed. Apple doesn't innovate anymore, but they're generally pretty good at adapting once other people have.

I was so blown away at all the discourse surrounding "Apple fumbling on models". They should never have been in the model game to begin with. Apple crushes hardware over the last decade and that's a huge advantage today. In t
