My 76 old Dad loves checking the TOTP on his phone and asking me to verbally read it out when I need him to accept a 2FA push notification to let me log into his bank or government…

Been using Pass2U for this for years. Surely this was considered earlier within Apple. I wonder what changed that they decided to do this now.

For us, Claude Design wrote one html file and a bunch of jsx files. What it built was quite functional. We used the “export” button to download the project as a zip file and I plac…

This isn’t going to replace Figma. It’s going to replace the people who use Figma. My 76yo Dad just used Claude Design to make a simple commercial tenancy/lease management CRUD app…

(I’m not a Teardown dev!) I tried this on a local project. It looks very jank and the math falls apart quickly. Unfortunately, using a fixed axis-aligned grid for rotating referenc…

I think the word “solve” is better than “hide” here. Fusion 360’s heuristics are so good that I rarely run into these problems. When I do, it’s usually because it was a drastic cha…

Make a throwaway GitHub account just for it and give it PR access to your private repos.

I wonder, is Microsoft doing “outsider trading”, where they covertly pipe analytical data to the executives’ independently-owned stock trading houses as “tips”? They’ve had access …

The Steam Link, also from 2015, is also still receiving updates! My partner and I use ours regularly to play co-op games on our TV. I really appreciate the efforts of whomever is k…

Too much speculation. Take the 18th amendment one. Maybe prohibition did have the desired effects, in addition to the undesirable side effects. The two are not mutually exclusive.

I know little about stocks, but I've heard China doesn't allow shorting stocks and many other "advanced" stock products/instruments. You can buy, sell and trade stocks, and nothing…

Go with WebView. As you’re a solo dev, one of your most important resources is your mental capacity. Native platforms & their dev stacks are a world of their own. Going with WebVie…

Try Zed. Open-source (GPL+Apache), reliable, fast, not bloated at all, decently configurable, amazing remote-host support, Vim mode, AI stuff totally optional, extensions/lang-serv…

Or maybe Roblox is causing harm to children and nationalist governments are the fastest to both recognise and respond to the issue. We can speculate all day, but we should try to a…

Ha, interesting. Using Claude Code in Zed, I never encountered any of these defects. I just open a Claude Code Thread, tell it what I want, bypass permissions (my remote is a conta…

Native escape hatch, for when you need native capability. For example, my app uses the Zebra DataWedge API on Zebra Android devices. Native experience for users, where the app appe…

Not a problem if you’re deploying using MDM.

I just rolled my own. I always find frameworks bring too many “weird errors” that waste my time trying to figure them out. Also, they’re just another thing that needs upgrading eve…

You can still have native views that appear over the WebView for certain tasks. I think you can also provide your own rendering context for elements, so you could roll your own ele…

I did this and never looked back. It’s called a “WebView app” and you can get a really good experience on all platforms using them. Just: - don’t make any crazy decisions on your f…

WebSockets are the secret ingredient to amazing low- to medium-user-count software. If you practice using them enough and build a few abstractions over them, you can produce incred…

Good stuff, but this has triggered my pet peeve! The title should be: How to Write in Cuneiform, the Oldest Known Writing System in the World The added word being: KNOWN You can ar…

Without the resources to do a study to see if the quality is actually better or worse than other options, these open-TTS models must be judged by what you think of their output. (T…
