I really don't want this to be AI writing because I enjoyed it, but as other commenters have pointed out, the rate of publishing (according to the linked Twitter account) is very r…

I'm surprised no one in the comments is mentioning Kotlin. Out of all the languages I've worked with it has been the most enjoyable by far. I agree with the article that there isn'…

I think this sums up my thoughts on the LLM writing "style" pretty well: > If a student submitted a piece of writing to me that sounded like this—and I was sure they wrote it thems…

Very cool idea. What's the range of BLE connectivity? I can't imagine it gets far

I've tried Love2D and enjoyed it but just found the lack of support for Lua was tough - how do you handle debugging and things?

I have sync to support the amazing devs, and for convenience, and an automatic git-based backup that runs in the background. It's good to double dip sometimes

I thought this was about programming languages before I saw it was from BBC, making me ask - what is the best way to learn a new programming language? I'm guessing the answer is ma…

I've recently hit a very similar problem. There's various problems with the web components (like he mentions) and I wanted a better way to write plain html with components. I ended…

One of my favourite quotes on this topic: > Using ChatGPT to write an essay is a bit like using a forklift to lift weights. The forklift might do a perfectly good job of moving aro…

There's a big difference between "Here's this tool that helps you think" (ie calculator or pen) and "Here's this tool that does the thinking for you". And before you say that AI ca…

So your argument is that you won't support Stop Killing Games, but you'll support Stop Killing Things In General? That's a strange stance. Even if that was your position SKG has a …

If I buy a smart fridge and the company that made them suddenly decided to turn them all off, then I'd definitely like the ability to turn mine back on, yes. And no, there's no exp…
