Yup, I have a similar setup where I use a Wireguard VPN to tunnel traffic to a tiny public facing Caddy server, which proxies the traffic to the server under my own roof. No Cloudflare!

coworker tried Sol the other day and it sat and thought for 10 minutes before maxing out our company's per-user weekly limit lol

That UI demo page is… really quite janky.

I'd bet more on this personally.

It's not for gaming, it's for making the faceplate digitally customizable. I love it!

That's really not the argument being made here, and you're panning it further by claiming this is staunchly anti-LLM.

The idea here is to signal that you can absolutely use LLMs to help you figure something out. But also, they're wrong a lot. So use your own brain too.

I would love a local-first app, publish to web sure! but local first editor would be fantastic imo

We need a modern HyperCard, I want to see more creative computing

Talk to me like a real person please

It actively ruins multimedia software I use in live performances- so no I don’t just need to upgrade

No No No No No No

This 100% - it’s funny how it’s actually more reliable in my experience to use the encrypted sparse bundle. I can sling it over to my NAS no problem. I’ve restored from one and everything was perfectly fine. YMMV of course

Be warned if you actually install beta software and take your device to the Apple Store they will not replace parts because of the chance the diagnostic tools aren’t compatible- this bit me trying to get my iPhone battery replaced

+1 I went out of my way to set up a skeleton project that just uses shell scripts to build an app bundle. I really dislike Xcode but Swift itself is actually fun to write.

Thank you. It’s driving me crazy that everyone is just pointing to research and numbers, partly manufactured numbers at that. Go outside and talk to a few real people and see how they’re fairing maybe…

Only because humans before Claude wrote many NES emulators…

See the benefit of just using what the original mathematician wrote, is that if they had a problem with a way the graph was rendering, or they wanted to tweak it, they just had to edit the code, no translation layer needed. It shipped like any other component of the product at the time.

I want to come out and say that a long time ago at a startup we needed to generate a very particular type of analysis graph for a human operator to review in our SaaS.

and I just straight up installed GNU Octave on the server and called out to it from python, using the exact code the mathematician had devised.

Awesome demo page! SDFs are super fun, and usually pretty useful (in addition to being pretty)

I recall a paper published by Valve that showed their approach to using SDFs to pack glyphs into low res textures while still rendering them at high resolution:

Lol it feels like this is their solution to the "phone too big" problem. Anyways, when's the next iPhone Mini???

The Tumblr app does this and it’s infuriating

Well, time to donate more money to Krita, Inkscape, etc.

but still in the uncanny valley

that and the guitar player behind the singer in the concert example has three arms :)

I've gotten used to it on iOS 26 at least, but, I have been using the official macOS release on my work macbook and it's _horrid_. I'm holding onto macOS 15 as long as I possibly can on my personal machine.

This is a company owned by the same guy whose other company is dumping huge amounts of pollution into the air around Memphis, TN. And when asked they basically said “no we aren’t.”

Something tells me it’s not NIMBYism.

Glad you say you're coming around on the BEAM. It really is a fantastic virtual machine. Of course if you look at my comment history you'll see I'm a big fan of it and tend to push it, but that's only because it has actually made my job (and hobby) of engineering easier.

There's something elegant about how everything lives inside a process, and communication between those processes is crazy simple, you just `send(pid, value)` and boom you can not only talk across large codebases, but you can talk across _networked clusters of BEAM VMs_ with little setup.

At my current job, we're using it on embedded Linux for IoT devices, and it's really amazing to section off the code into processes that, if something like an i2c sensor or component glitches out, just let the process crash, and have it be restarted automatically by a Supervisor into a fresh well known state.

Definitely give it a look, it's nothing like the JVM ;)

I ended up grabbing an Ioniq fully electric 2019 and i absolutely love it. Got it for a decent used cost, interior wise it was like new, no huge touch screen, but a decent one for CarPlay and Android Auto, real knobs and buttons, and the online portion is entirely obsolete since it used 3G so it has no connection to the internet! It’s perfect for me

the beginning of walled garden “AI” tools has been interesting to follow
