Precisely what has effectively killed off the "building in public" trend that was all the rage just a two years ago.

Played around with it. Does what it says on the tin. Great work.

My son (8 years old) is a bit of a unicorn in that he lives his devices and his books pretty much equally. On any given day we're either telling him to put away his switch or his book because that's how engrossed he gets.

So I've always thought what if each of our individual consciousnesses is like a radio frequency that is unique to each individual? This would explain why we regain consciousness when we wake up, because our physiology is locked to what

Many years later and I'm still bitter that the tech press laughed Windows Phone out of the room straight to its demise. Yes it had very little developer support but at some point things were looking up. It was just the butt of too many

I was way too young when I read this book. Absolutely devoured it and had nightmares for a long time.

He could write the same exact post but swap the word "Mac" for "Windows" and the comment section here would be markedly different.

Battery and solar panel advancements have been the most interesting story in tech for going on a decade in my opinion. Wish I could fast forward 50 years and see what the world will look like.

Yep, and I'm both a Cloudflare and Resend customer. I like Resend, a lot, but this is probably something I can't pass up, especially if it does what it says on the tin

It's humbling to see this image. I can't even begin to imagine what it must feel like to see this from the perspective of those astronauts.

Because Windows works just fine for me. I'm a dev, I don't game. No issues. Why people find this hard to believe is kind of puzzling to be honest. As if everyone's experience simply HAS to match your own.

That's actually pretty cool. What made you think of doing this in the first place?

As long as they keep using Macs, iPhones and Apple watches. That'll show those pesky Americans.

Really disappointing. A lot of us have always considered Ars Technica to be the last of a dying breed of ultra serious, no-nonsense professionalism. Obviously, we were rocked by the DrPizza scandal years ago...and now this. Sobering.

The irony of building 'sovereign' software on top of Windows and MacOS. Without a hardware or OS pivot, this feels less like independence and more like empty posturing.

Apple have enough customer behaviour data at hand to fully understand that there is very little they can't get away with. So why not maximize profit?

Still think AI shines here. I find ffmpeg commands pretty arcane. Nowadays I just ask an LLM to generate the commands I need, test, and I'm done.

The fact that these drones are only appearing in NATO aligned countries makes it seem pretty obvious to me that it's one of two possibilities. 1) Russian sabre-rattling 2) NATO countries running "secret" drills in public in a

If SETI is successful it would be a fascinating to sit back and observe the deeply religious.

Maybe I'm not thinking this through clearly enough but isn't this "just fine" for the current administration? From their perspective what exactly is the downside to this?

How likely is it that the end game becomes that we stop writing apps for actual human users and instead sites become massive walls of minified text against a black screen.

I was sceptical about this for factor seeing as it seemed like a gimmicky throwback to the early to mid 2000s. But honestly, now that I've played around with Samsungs offerings I get it. Back in the day phones had quite a bit of person

I wonder how quickly the gunman will be found. I've always wondered if the authorities would ever be able to find someone who patterned themselves after a character like The Jackal.

This is a feeling that definitely becomes more acute the older one gets. Try shopping for toys for your kids today. Every time I'm with my 7 year old browsing the toy aisles I fondly remember my Tonka truck from when I was his age. I o
