Agreed, I’ve never used react native myself but I do use CapacitorJS to run JS (TS) apps and with a dev server I can hit save in my IDE and see it on my phone screen in <1 second on average. It’s so nice for iteration. Throughout my care

I have no doubt AI is acceleration or continuing out march into isolation. I also have no idea how to combat the root issue (since stopping the progress of science has never really worked or been possible). This has been going on for quite

I’m not on a supported carrier and I don’t think I’d pay extra for this feature but I would be nice to take a dev phone and temporarily give it my cell plan for testing purposes. That said, it would require I be signed into my Apple ID on t

This squares with my, much much, smaller OpenRouter usage. It’s just incredibly unreliable and you are forced to pin providers and even then it can be a crapshoot as the author found. OpenRouter sells the idea of swapping being commodity pr

For all I know it is accurate for them but I encourage you to hover on the bars and see the min/max. That's where the issue is. I wrote more about it here [0] but the TL;DR is that it's wildly inconsistent, sometimes it can t

Crazy that it's not defined anywhere in this post while also being an existing thing (Repetitive stress injury).

This bags or bins or whatever your preferred organization method is. Don't just have "cables" group them. This is how I discovered "yeah, I don't need all these DVI/VGA cables and I can do with only 10 extra HD

This feels like a massive misstep for Apple. It's as if they looked at the Meta Ray Ban controversy and said "I'd like a piece of that!". I'm pretty sure this is meant as a swipe at OpenAI's upcoming hardware a

Because it's fun. That's it. I like new tech, I like playing with the "new hotness", it's fun to always try out the newest features. That's 100% the reason. I could tell you it's because I always wanted to

I agree it's anecdotal but that's all I have to go off and global averages don't help me at all. The problem it's a complete crap-shoot. You have no way of knowing if you are going to get a quick turnaround or a long one

I'm sorry but that data does not at all square with my experience. I'm seeing 2 days+ as the average and I haven't seen sub-24hrs in months. I oversee ~20 apps and I can tell you iOS review times have been trending upwards fo

I'm afraid you are the one out of date here. App Store Review times have ballooned in the last few months. Marco Arment talked about this publically (on the ATP podcast) about how his app was stuck in review for over 2 weeks IIRC and I

Perhaps. I can absolutely see that being more attractive especially with things like the Duo where, I assume, SwiftUI gives you a number of things "for free". That said, the massive downsides to native are: - App Store Review time

$2K starting price is rough. I’ve upgraded my iPhone every year since my first phone, the 3GS. It’s one of a few “splurge”-type things I allow myself. It’s a hobby and just fun to play with the new hotness. This year might break the cycle.

Didn't see your comment before I posted pretty much the same thing. I wish I could replace all my cables with the Anker Nano ones but they aren't cheap and most places I don't need a "great feeling" cable so I'

It's not silicon but the _best_ (charging only) cables I've used by far are the Anker Nano [0] cables. they are so flexible, feel amazing, and I wish I could replace all my cables with them (but can't due to cost). It's

I'm sure my scale is many magnitudes smaller but as a solo developer/founder I ran into this same issue recently as I've been creating more PRs than normal and also increasing my GH Actions usage for things like LLM review an

My understanding is that the source code itself is not the "goal" as much as a way to recompile the game for other architectures instead of having to use emulation to play the game. Also for modders who want to alter things at a l

I’ve set up literally hundreds of different self-hosted applications over the years on my homelab. I’ve configured the reverse proxy by hand, setup the docker containers, etc. Now I can just tell Claude “Setup XYZ app on my server” and it d

They should really put the video/gif from their repo README on the website somewhere. I clicked around for a while trying to see what it looked like and finally found it on Github.

Not at all my experience. Some apps themselves have ads but I never see ads. My Apple TV is a Plex/YouTube client exclusively where I see 0 ads.

Meanwhile I'm over here refactoring as much as I can from years (or decades) of human-slung code. Turning the mess I either inherited, helped create, or built on top of into something clean and pristine might be my favorite LLM use. Sa

I feel like I must be missing something. The only tool they mention by name is Pocket (which isn't an "Accessibility tool" as much as it had a way to turn an article to audio). But I don't follow how new accessibility to
