Not only that, but with toolchains like deno, it’s almost enjoyable

I wrote some telegram bots in deno and it’s got one of the cleanest deploy chains around, just compile to an executable for the target architecture, and SCP it over. Exec is statically linked, and so it just works

I’d barely say they died. Doom Eternal is full of platforming, something a lot of reviewers winged about, and there are big undies like little kitty big city that fit the bill nicely, as well as the remake of SpongeBob Battle for bikini bottom

It’s honestly the best of both worlds. A well built and tested hardware platform with well known specs and manufacturer support, that’s capable of running any third party software at the drop of a hat

These smart watches are garbage. Even Apple watches have rather short lifetimes

My Garmin is going strong 5 years later, and I’ve got no incentive to upgrade

Yes, but a better time was last month during the sale

Honeycomb was a tablet only ui. Google ditched the more effective ux in a fit of unification, that I believe is significantly responsible for killing Android tablets

Time is a flat circle. I remember when honeycomb launched with a bottom navbar, only for Google to delete it later in favor of a (terrible) phone like gui

overwatch style

You mean team fortress style

Can’t wait for them to never roll it out

Kagi generated key points:

• The new Find My Device network on Android was designed with a strong focus on user security and privacy.
• The network uses a crowdsourced approach to locate lost or misplaced devices and belongings, even when they are offline.
• The location data reported by participating Android devices is end-to-end encrypted, ensuring Google cannot access or use the location information.
• The network has “aggregation by default” as a safety feature, requiring multiple nearby devices to detect a Bluetooth tag before reporting its location to the owner.
• The network also has protections to avoid contributing location reports when near the user’s home address.
• Rate limiting and throttling are used to prevent malicious real-time tracking, while still allowing the network to be useful for finding lost items.
• The network is compliant with industry standards for unwanted tracking, triggering alerts on both Android and iOS devices.
• Users have full control over which of their devices participate in the network and how.
• The network design has undergone internal security testing and is part of Android’s vulnerability rewards program.
• Prioritizing user safety and privacy is an ongoing commitment as the team continues to improve the Find My Device protections.

Recently I had to do an update to the underlying environment a codebase ran on. This was a somewhat involved upgrade and took a longer period of time than most of our work usually does. I did it in a separate worktree, so I didn’t have to constantly rejuggle the installed dependencies in the project, and could work on two features relatively concurrently

It also provides some utility for comparing the two versions. Nothing you couldn’t do other ways, but still useful

And in elixir/erlang we’re spoiled with loads of options, from ETS to mnesia

During my most recent job search, the most annoying thing I saw was “resume consultants”

They’d reach out like an interested recruiter, but very quickly get to the sales pitch

Apple has done this many times before. Over even more frivolous patents (i.e. a glossy black rectangle)

They made their bed, now they have to lie in it

Seriously. I had a friend extolling how good his experience with his chiropractor was, in response to my tale about physical therapy after a skiing accident. I ended the argument pretty quickly by asking “how often do you have to go back”

I’ve only ever worked in one codebase that didn’t need feature flags, and even then we could have used them.

They should stick them on swappa. Kindles hold value fairly well, and they’re great gifts to kids, as they can often encourage reading

Pixel

After getting burnt by both the Google endorsed Xoom and the Google branded Nexus 10, I don’t trust them at all when it comes to tablets.

With both, Google released good products, and then proceeded to ruin them with abhorrent changes to the software. They made the Nexus 10 dump it’s tablet interface in favor of a big phone UI ffs.

Graphite is ok, but honestly it’s a solution in search of a problem

Maybe if you have a massive pr, splitting it up like this works, but that’s really a planning failure. Stories should be smaller, and if you need to keep them separate for a long time, use feature branches

No. You’d use something like rev.2020 or some other wide gamut color space. Jxr already supports this, and some programs, like the Xbox, take hdr screenshots as jxr
