Silly question, but do you reckon it'll function decently in a Kotlin multiplatform codebase? There's swift native code, but I'm not sure how it would perform with some logic being shared.

Yikes! I've been needing an upgrade, and I was on the fence between a specc'd out MBP, or building out a AI server and delegating tasks to it over Netbird/Tailscale to my homelab. I'm mainly interested in coding/ima

Do we need that type of metric anyways? Surely there are better ways to measure a repo's activity...

I’ve often pondered the same. Seems like Israel gets a lot of special treatment from the US.

> In other words, it’s opinion and not fact, which is something I do not want conflated in a technical post. As you’ve already stated, it’s an opinion and not a fact. I wouldn’t take posts like this so personally. Instead, use content li

It has. I was just having this conversation with a friend the other day. Despite Netflix having all their analytics/viewership data, they consistently crank out garbage. You might get one or two releases a year that are good, but that&

I've come to despise all streaming services and hope they all burn down. We've gone full circle in terms of price and convenience. Hell, even Prime now wants to you pay extra to not see ads! Wasn't that one of the benefits ov

I think I'll be taking a step back from React/Next.js for the foreseeable future. I feel fortunate in that, for most of my projects, I can make architectural decisions such as this. Things took a turn with hooks (I have a feeling

I miss Jobs. These prerecorded presentations are soulless and almost embarrassing at times. Happy to see USB-C on the iPhone (thanks EU) and no price hikes.

This has been my sentiment lately. I purchased a Tesla last year (primarily to save on gas) and its been an amazing car. You raise a couple points that have been on my mind. The rare metal argument is a good one. I believe that battery disp

What about at peak times? Any noticeable dips? I tried Visible in the past and wasn’t too thrilled with Verizon’s coverage in my city. Might need to revisit since I’m really tired of paying $85+ for a plan. My biggest priority is data cover

I spent about a decade in Europe and really enjoyed learning about how their electrical grid works. The ability to directly plug most appliances without needing to buy extra adapters was amazing. Boiling water also took half the amount of t

Similar story here (truenas was a gateway drug). There are a few up and coming filesystems that I have my eye on. But by and large, ZFS has remained my favorite.

I cant wrap my head around using Git for this... My sweet spot has been Plex + Plexamp. I have a truenas server and created a 'media' nfs share for my Plex instance. I've been a very happy camper with this set up for the past

I've been a REST API developer for a few years now. For whatever reason, I've never bothered dipping my toes in the RPC realm. This article resonated with me. Looks like I'll be building an RPC API in the near future.

Personally, I think that AAA studios are due for a reality check. There's been _some_ decent releases from these studios in the past decade, but they are few and far between. I can't help but feel that these studios are very disco

The documentation and usability of Twitter's API has been in decline for at least a few years now. I gave up in 2018/19 (or whenever they implemented the new version of their API?). This has nothing to do with the advent of Musk,

Care to post some examples? I'm not saying they don't exist, I've just never seen it in the wild.

This is the way, and should honestly be the default unless you are 100% your software needs something like an SPA.

I'm honestly surprised that keybase is still around. It's really cool what they've built, but how exactly are they keeping the lights on?

You've piqued my interest. Do you know of any OSS repos that implement any of these?

I'm of the opinion that that spectrum has been artificially shifted quite a bit in the last 5 to 10 years. This push has led to a lot of political unrest and has resulted in drastic polarization.

€60M is like a slap on the hand to a company like Microsoft. Where does that money go, anyways? Certainly not to the people.
