I want to see more models that can be streamed to a browser and run locally via wasm. That would be my hope for small models. In the <100mb range.

Interesting. I had only heard this in the context of Apple before and not Amazon. There is a clip from a Steve Jobs video describing how you need to work backwards from the end user experience and then figure out the technology

But Arc is native. They are building it in Swift. They have even taken on a mammoth task of building their windows version in Swift!

I was already fascinated by Elixir, but this video drove the nail home. It's a great presentation and I don't think I have watched any conference talks (on YouTube) without taking a break except this one.

Hoping more companies like frame.work[1] come up and succeed. They have shown it is possible and the laptop need not be bulky or very expensive and still be repairable. [1]: https://frame.work

Dear ImGui is excellent and is very handy to make GUI version of a CLI app especially if we want to interactively set values and see results. It is fairly low level (deliberately) and that’s great to keep it simple. I wish there is a standa

I am piggy-backing on this to ask if there is a good networking library to handle OAuth2 (client side). I came across cpprestsdk[0] but it was a pain to setup with some OpenSSL conflicts unless I use vcpkg. But I need to edit some code in t

There are many. But none of them are considered the ‘default’ way to do it. vcpkg[1] by Microsoft is the newest kid on the block which is gaining some traction. Apart from that Conan[2] seems to be the (relatively) popular one. There’s also

Eclipse foundation has a new project, Theia[1], which forks VSCode and one of the reasons they state is that the extension ecosystem is not opensource. They want Theia to be a tool to build your own editor and it can be built as a hosted so

Congrats! This looks great. The website and the info presented looks very well thought out! In the features section would really like to see about how Text rendering is handled by Bevy. It is a big feature. Edit: To clarify, I wanted to kno

Relm looks promising. Actually there are a couple of promising GUI libraries coming up in Rust.

Congrats on the launch. Are there plans for SDKs in various languages or is this going to be JS only for now? Why I ask is that I like the simplicity of Firebase as a back-end and attempted to use Google Auth for a desktop app (in C++). It

I completely agree. Hot take: If SMT, SAT are too simple to be given the coveted badge of AI, then Machine learning should be called as glorified curve-fitting? I feel that everyone is amazed by the results provided by the good examples of

The big value of the visual representation is if it is dynamic. That is, it gets updated while you are running the code and can use it during debugging. Otherwise, the novelty wears off quickly. Static graphs are still useful to understand

This looks great (both Supabase and Nhost)! Years ago I wanted a self-hosted version of the real-time subscription of Firebase and had come across DeepStream[1]. It now seems to be in maintenance mode due to lack of contributors and maintai

Sorry for piggy-backing on this thread, but is there a simple tool which will let me do a screen capture and annotate it. Something like ScreenFlow on Mac. I use Peek for screen-capture currently. I wanted to annotate some text and OpenShot

Yes, that’s good advice. I was referring to the concept of gitignore in general. At least when I learnt git from some tutorials, gitignore was treated like an advanced topic and I was fumbling with git for a while with all these artefacts c

I wish I had learnt about gitignore sooner when I first learnt to use git. Especially if you are using an IDE and it generates a ton of files.

There was also the Blackberry Storm which had a physically clicking screen[1] and I thought it (the tech) would take off and be the next big thing! [1]: https://youtu.be/bLkb8HLZ_vQ?t=103

I think a lot of the good practices and skills necessary to ship good quality software are not documented well (or formalized). That's why working with good teams and learning from good devs (or profs) is what determines the quality of

There are many qualities, which have also been listed by others but I found to be extremely common is this: Be very organized / systematic.. - in their thoughts and how they articulate their points during discussions - in building thei

Can you provide a link to the talk? I tried searching on mobile and failed. Will try again later today and post it here if I manage to find it.

Like the other poster suggested, consider seeking help from a counsellor. Depending on which part of India you are in there is a good chance of finding someone who suits you. Since you are on HN, I’m guessing you are aiming for a tech caree

I think AppleScript and Automator is/will be deprecated and the replacement would be Shortcuts present on iOS. I think the main developer of AppleScript left Apple last year. I think I read something on these lines on HN, I may be reme
