The potential customer rarely cares whether a service provider is running their business well. What matters is the product's value added and risks added, as compared to just using the underlying tech directly.

Google Antigravity 8 months ago

That's a big name for a slop fork. So many possibilities (with LLMs and without) but Google just can't bring themselves to do anything creative, let alone transformative.

Boring is good 10 months ago

Hot take in regards to the good old statement taken literally: the boring<->exciting dimension is irrelevant in terms of something being good or bad.

Yes I know, stable things are stable

The meaning has changed very quickly for some reason, but I think the original meaning was that you evaluate the result in a superficial manner by checking if the program seems to work fine. So "vibe" here is as opposed to any methodical or formal approach. No code review etc.

I've been using Pixel 8 for nearly a year now and I agree that it's surprisingly buggy. Also, the chip is excessively power-hungry, especially for the performance it offers. In addition: the modem is bad and very power-hungry as well. And the cherry on top for me was the subpar fingerprint scanner. Can't recommend.

Some features of Kiwi were merged to Edge, which means it now supports extensions (any extension if using developer options in Canary)

Also the Units of Measure are a great feature. I think they're a zero-cost abstraction that Rust users love to mention.

To be fair, my knowledge of F# is a bit basic, but I meant stuff like classes (including abstract ones), interfaces, and the ingrained interop with C#.

I'd say F# is closer to filling that gap than OCaml. It's a bit less insistent on being functional and has a more familiar syntax. I find it more practical in general.
