    We use Graal to sandbox a scripting language based on EcmaScript 6 for our app. It’s great.

    Yeah, I’m talking about FSD driving at speeds that mean certain death, not your standard cruise control+. Do I trust Tesla to write software that works to a degree where I would en…

    Waymo is basically locked to 25mph here in SF. Letting a Telsa thing self drive at over 100kph is actually kind of wild.

    They only sent the “you’re being delisted if you don’t do this” email like a week ago.

    Every forced Android minimum targetSDK update breaks literally everything. There’s also a breaking change coming up in SDK 34 around exact alarms. Google seems hell bent on making …

    iPhones just work. Macs just work. 99% of people don’t want to spend time configuring anything. Both iOS and Android stopped innovating like 5 years ago, but at least the Apple eco…
