We live in an era when you can simply clone the repo and ask the agent of your choice to port it to Android for you. I'd be shocked if it cost more than ~$10 in tokens from any provider on the market.

What’s notable about this article is not its literal conclusion, which is obvious to any casual observer, it’s the publisher - I haven’t been following it lately, but for decades National Review was the preeminent Limbaugh-school right-wing

It is - it ‘cheats’ by reading off the NTFS MFT, similarly to another indispensable piece of Windows software Everything Search, both of which I miss keenly on my underprovisioned work Mac.

Friend. You gotta write your own comments. It feels so gross to get a response that’s so obviously from an llm, I would rather you not have replied to me at all. I will not be using your app.

This is a compelling idea, but it doesn't seem to work. Running it on a yml I'm working on currently, it skipped all my setup actions and then failed because the dependencies it needed weren't set up (why did you think I wrot

Standard always struck me as kind of scummy - it tries to present itself as something bigger than what it really is, which is a tiny CLI wrapper around one guy’s ESLint config. You have to scroll way down the FAQ section before ESLint even

This is normal, most people are like this. The idea that there’s something out there that you’re just amazing at without even trying very hard is a trap and believing it will destroy your life. You just have to pick something you want to be

I think the specific trap the author is arguing against is where you try to make your classes model 1-1 some external domain model without tailoring them only to the functionally that your specific application needs. If you’re writing a Foo

There are things that are worth being patient about. Jira isn’t one of them. “Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.”

As the saying goes, the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent. There are any number of ways a firm can do things that, in isolation, are bad for business, and still do very well overall if they’re protected by other fa

Very interesting! Is this the state of the art for accurate OCR of tabular PDFs, or is there other work in the space to compare against?

If it feels snappy, why would it matter if it’s a webview? Native apps are a means to an end, they’re not virtuous in themselves.

This seems like such a no-brainer architectural choice that it makes me wonder if there's some tradeoff I'm not seeing. Why would Nix have cached failures in the first place?

I don’t think that follows. Most users of a translation app don’t have any ability to judge the quality of the translations it produces, so the only distinguishing feature is ubiquity - if every language you can think of is in Google Transl
