Will this become a trend? When the client asks you for an architecture diagram, you respond with a 3d world.

You mean, like this?

That's a user error, you simply had "This Mac" selected (preselected) instead of narrowing scope to be Applications.

Java can still be used but it's no longer the recommended choice for Android apps. For any new Android apps nowadays you start with Kotlin and Jetpack compose (made by Google).

In fact, I think Google's been saying this for 6-7 years already.

This is such a clueless take, and I see it surprisingly often. Declarative UI does not inherently mean virtual DOM nor does it "automatically" mean slower than UIKit.

The abstraction is huge advantage, especially when targeting different devices and screen sizes. We (and that includes Apple) have been learning the value of those kinds of abstraction boundaries for years, well before React.

It's also important to note that SwiftUI and UIKit are composable, so if some small part of your app needs low-level, finer grained control, then go ahead and use UIKit/Core Animation/Metal and SwiftUI for the rest.

That's for the Android version, I would assume

Also a solid combination for LLM assisted apps. Claude Code will just get it. It's good with Tailwind also though.

This is one of those 'hey, I can vibe code this in a weekend' projects. Just look at how the AI decided to the entire map in dark mode, making it nearly impossible to tell the ocean and the land apart.

Haven't properly burned myself yet. I've just avoided books based on skimming through online or in bookstores. Some had pretty clear telltale signs of AI slop (although usually quite subtle).

At his point I think that one has to assume that almost every author is using AI to some extent. And even if they don't, their editors will apply changes, no doubt using ChatGPT and other tools.

It's better with properly published titles but even those writers are increasingly using AI and leaks into their works.

I think people still read, but the problem is largely that people read older literature, meaning anything older than 5-10 years at the very least. People are very hesitant to read something recent because it may very well be AI slop.

It's a crisis in literature. How do we fix this?

What's W social?

Or.. what killed the Vice webpage? There's literally more ads than articles!

Seeing that you already know programming, I'd say it'd be less risky for you. But the only reason you're able to pilot an LLM to do programming for you, is because you understand programming and architecture.

But what about the future generations skipping the step of learning the OCaml's, the C's, the Python's...? It's quite concerning.

Oh by the way, yes. Learn OCaml!

Back in the day people used to build a website without any versioning. Just make it and upload it. Make a change, upload it again.

How was Baghdad like in 1993? All I remember from that time was the Gulf war, Saddam and much conflict. I can only imagine how it would be finding hardware, books and resources such a time. That was hard enough even in parts of Europe.

Very cool! Wish you had released it back then

A monolith!

> 1. That person owns a smartphone (which is at least a couple hundred dollars).

I live in South Africa, and even the poor townships are full of smartphones these days. My gardener has a fairly recent Samsung. They literally borrow money to buy these things. So if they can afford it, so can you.

It's not that I don't get your point though - it could easily be seen as unnecessary spending when you have all kinds of expenses. But sooner or later, smartphones have become a necessity to get on with life.

CAFEBABE has Java all over it.

ifconfig(8) is meant for low level stuff. What Linux did was replace ifconfig with another low level (e.g. ipconfig2), which makes more sense there I suppose. But don't get the impression that ifconfig is the easiest way in macOS on the CLI, it's networksetup(8).

Kinda reminds me of Coffee Land https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRtx33R4XhU

Only problem of course is that it's unlikely that this even exists in 5 years.

When I did LAN parties we had 10base2 over thin coax. Terminators at each end. Of course it was unstable because people kept disconnecting and everyone lost connection.

Even easier on macOS.

Something like this should work:

  ifconfig enX inet6 fd42:dead:beef::1 prefixlen 48

No ned to bring it up as it should already be up. enX should be your USB/thunderbolt ethernet adapter, e.g. en6.

Then you can go ahead and transfer with socat to your other machine, even if it's a Linux machine. I tend to use nc but socat will definitely be faster.

Why the deadbeef network one might wonder? It's private space so won't conflict with public addresses.

That being said though, in 99% cases of big files I'll just airdrop the files!

Phones are a bit small to explore the full potential of mobile. I'd look into getting an iPad Pro. Lots of cool stuff you can do.

I was there in Cape Town yesterday. People were pretty much in awe. 3 pilots in each plane, very experienced. So although it seems risky, I believe it was a calculated risk and within limits. Still seems crazy though!

Yes, it assumes senior level at pre AI, but this will apply to pretty much anything. Java in particular.

Keep in mind of course that a lot of so called seniors were also producing mediocre code <insert framework or language here>. It doesn't change the point though.

Stop claiming this. It's complete bullshit and you probably have never even been here.

How did you understand Angular to be similar to htmx? They are nearly polar opposites. Can achieve the same though.

I mean, htmx and JS glue logic is truly the differentiator now because LLM's do it so well. It's absolutely the way to go.
