I find this very amusing, given we humans are also highly susceptible to this.

That site happily flags writing older than the modern AI era. It's a worthless grift, which has unfortunately suckered many.

Use tldraw. Steve rolled the perfect freehand library into tldraw and the tldraw implementation has been improved since then IIRC. So you can get the same experience and easily grab an SVG.

Apologies if you already know this, but I noticed you’re getting flagged so thought I’d add some context: the author is the CEO of Obsidian and has a few successful projects, so bragging about your 500 stars and saying things like “when I w

The value in the conversion of existing code in this particular case isn't 100% clear to me either, but I think calling Kotlin a weaker choice than Java at this time is naive, particularly when preceding that with "there are a mou

To clarify, I think it's extremely powerful and useful too. It's just that I get more misses than hits when using it as a rubber duck and coding assistant.

You are correct, that part of my comment was more a feature Kotlin multiplatform which Compose is built on top of. When building with Compose it has been a really nice experience to just call out to Foundation APIs on iOS in the same way I

Compose multiplatform is the future. I've used Flutter extensively but I created my first Compose Desktop app about 2 years ago and haven't looked back. Everything was alpha back then, and the tooling was only okay, but it is quit

Wow, TIL `git diff --staged` exists and is an alias to `git diff --cached`, which I have used for many years. "staged" certainly feels more intuitive, but will I ever be able to undo this muscle memory?!

They antagonise the funnel-web until it begins striking and the venom is dripping from its fangs, and then they use a liquid dropper to suck that venom up. It is wild. Here's a video of the place near where I live doing it: https:&#x2

I wonder how much of this can be attributed to poor posture related to device use. Posture correction has been shown to give people back ~1-2 inches in height. Note: I mean real posture correction through exercise and training, not the cur
