That site happily flags writing older than the modern AI era. It's a worthless grift, which has unfortunately suckered many.

Use tldraw. Steve rolled the perfect freehand library into tldraw and the tldraw implementation has been improved since then IIRC. So you can get the same experience and easily gra…

Your follow up post and edits help with clarifying the tone, hopefully readers see that.

Apologies if you already know this, but I noticed you’re getting flagged so thought I’d add some context: the author is the CEO of Obsidian and has a few successful projects, so br…

The value in the conversion of existing code in this particular case isn't 100% clear to me either, but I think calling Kotlin a weaker choice than Java at this time is naive, part…

To clarify, I think it's extremely powerful and useful too. It's just that I get more misses than hits when using it as a rubber duck and coding assistant.

Can anyone comment on its coding ability? Considering cancelling my subscription with OpenAI as I was previously using GPT-4 quite heavily as a multiplier for myself, guiding it an…

You are correct, that part of my comment was more a feature Kotlin multiplatform which Compose is built on top of. When building with Compose it has been a really nice experience t…

Compose multiplatform is the future. I've used Flutter extensively but I created my first Compose Desktop app about 2 years ago and haven't looked back. Everything was alpha back t…

Wow, TIL `git diff --staged` exists and is an alias to `git diff --cached`, which I have used for many years. "staged" certainly feels more intuitive, but will I ever be able to un…

They antagonise the funnel-web until it begins striking and the venom is dripping from its fangs, and then they use a liquid dropper to suck that venom up. It is wild. Here's a vid…

Over the years I had used a number of reddit clients for Android, all of which had some features I loved and some which annoyed me, so last year I started building my own. I releas…

I have vivid memories of reopening game installers from CLASS, long after installing, just so I could keep listening to the music. This one by Maktone still pops into my head from …

Perhaps their DevOps team were pasting code and scripts directly from ChatGPT :D

No problem! My team is a small subset of engineers in a 10yo+ startup, and the organisation chose to go all in on many Google services long before any of us joined the company. I h…

Did you mean to reply to a different comment? I'm not sure what relevance this has to my comment which you're replying to?

Heh, yours and other comments here disparaging I/O as "business" or "corporate" talk these days come across as quite ignorant - and I don't mean this in a nasty way, more in a lite…

I wonder how much of this can be attributed to poor posture related to device use. Posture correction has been shown to give people back ~1-2 inches in height. Note: I mean real po…
