Looks good. The quantities input box behaves strange on Firefox mobile. Can't seem to delete the input and type something new. Jumps to a default or any number before I get to type my grams.

Prompting with documentation and examples works. In an agentic tool having an MCP server for the db helps assuming it is a straightforward schema with explicitly defined relationships. Also helps if the tables correspond to entities in a na

Agreed with that. As with writing SQL by hand you have to be very specific with instructing an LLM. There are many ways to get to a solution in SQL all present different tradeoffs and corner cases. I found that people that don't unders

Good point. Think of the device as a lock pick for Aldi carts you can remove it and don't need to leave your keychain.

I remember looking at palm webos devices in 2010 and thinking this is cool. The docs on how things worked were really good for the time. The hardware was sleek palm pre if I remember correctly. I was not keeping track of who bought whom at

Yes you can e.g. with the replit app. Quite powerful if you don't have a preferred editor and can stand the haptics of a phone to edit stuff

Same experience. For a while I had to do chrome again because it became unusable on my aging phone and then they turned the ship around. I am always stunned when I have to use anything else at how unusable some pages are without my extensio

Just to add another perspective: Native apps are sticky. As an example a Webshop has no reason to have a native app (likely it is a browser wrapper anyway). However, being installed puts you right in front of the users noses everytime the u

Awesome. I recently had similar thoughts and then I was considering all the variations in the android eco system. Lots of times when I am helping I have to just rely ony intuition because I am not familiar with the specific flavour of andro

I also did something similar for my spring project. The idea was to buy a used car and I was frustrated with the BS the listing sites claimed as fair price etc.. I went the browser extension route and used grease monkey to inject custom Jav

That was very educational. I always get lost in the terms. Exception is Bauhaus which is usually easy to distinguish.

I am one of the likely millions of people that got sucked into python for its accessibility and powerful data manipulation libraries. Granted I started in the mid aughts with web scraping and other stupid endeavours. That user base growing

That is too simplistic. You underestimate the depth of academia. Sure the latest break through Alzheimers study or related research would benefit from a replication. Which is done out of commercial interest anyway. But your run of the mill

For Windows and Mac OS native is clearly defined by the OS libraries that arenpvoded by the company. For Linux to look very native you need to define the desktop environment. For stock Debian and Gnome desktop GTK bindings will look native.

FYI it does not work on Firefox on Android :(.

I love it! Super cute execution with the styling and scrolling story mode. Did not make it super far because on mobile ... But really fun. Seems way to elaborate for a one off side project did you do something like this before ?

Interesting my cases supposedly came from some .edu or other educational related TLDs at first then it devolved into randoms... Well I will need to monitor and maybe do my own rules as well.

Thanks for that. There is some mention of spam but others complaining that Gmail is too tight with their filters... Maybe they are re-adjusting.

That is exactly my experience as well. Nothing noticeable for years and then a quite obvious one and it kept coming after that.

Ask HN: Gmail having spam problems for anybody else?

Yep. Firefox on Android is really awesome. If I only could replace the android WebView with it...

Delta was doing that to me a few years back. I was so frustrated I called them to complain and actually got the ticket for the price they advertised. Still annoying when you go through the checkout multiple times on different days only to g

Yep using that material makes the breathability suffer. No comparison to other water restiant materials which are worse. If I were in your region I would not buy water restiant shoes to begin with.

Unfortunately oftentimes people do not use the new modern features of Excel. This is often the root of the problem. For example, lookup formulas to do joins is not necessary anymore with power query in the picture. Old habits die hard...

He is likely referring to the 2 FA of the credit card company. When the payment is made you are prompted to confirm the transaction in the mobile app or provide another key. Most my cards do that nowadays but it depends on the merchant.

Agreed. Usability on mobile is best with the short codes. Even 2 FA is fairly efficient that way as long as the messages are designed to show the code in the preview.

I am also annoyed by this and just resort to an all English office installation most times. However, for the office user market it is a clear advantage. This way anyone can pick up the tool and discover.
