I agree but this particular example showed nothing about leveraging skill, experience, or intuition. If anything, this is another straightforward example of a one shot ask.

edit: that said, I understand this particular post is about model capability

Very neat. Thank you for sharing! I assume this was one shot as well -what sort of prompt did you use?

I’m sure folks would be interested even in a blog post comparing just this process with different Anthropic models if that’s something you do and need a content idea. :)

I understood it in the spirit of “code is a liability not an asset.” Code still needs to be maintained, changed, etc whether that is by a human or LLM.

In other words, just because more code can be produced quickly does not mean that it is cheap.

edit: I’m maybe hearing your point is that LLMs may change that POV but I think that is TBD.

It's interesting how this is both a nebulous yet concrete idea and how definitions and implementations vary widely. I was having the _exact_ same questions since I've had to newly lean more into the data engineering space at my current gig, so it's helpful to hear these takeaways from folks experienced in the trenches (not just the newbs).

I agree with your parent post but why would a breakup not equally apply to Apple?

I think other commenters are overstating the change from staggered to columnar. I type just fine (100 WPM+) going between my Moonlander (split keyboard from ZSA) and my Lenovo/Macbook (typical staggered layouts).

In hindsight, the biggest issue I ran into switching keyboards was that I was too ambitious playing around with the key configuration. The configurability is a big draw but I took for granted that I had already built up years of natural tendency for certain things - which thumb I use for space, preferences for Ctrl/Alt/Command/Option, for Shift, etc.

The default for these keyboards probably don't 100% align with what you're used to, so you should directly map what you're doing currently over to the keymap of the keyboard and then you can fiddle with making it yours over time.

I will say that if you're not already a touch typer, then a split keyboard is not going to help and it will be more difficult to get used to.

edit: also, if anything, going columnar helped me actually consistently hit number keys!

Could you elaborate?

Could you elaborate on how code review after merge is fine or better?

Some major downsides to review after merge:

- cost of context switching (author has moved on to something else new, which now remains paused to "go back", so there's no agility benefit to just merging if it works)

- increases risk of unnecessary conflicts (how do you address someone merging something, you have feedback, then someone else merges after on top? A PR helps resolve code that's done vs could be improved because it forces a communication moment between the authors)

- tooling (a PR or diff is well supported. How are you discussing feedback when everyone can just merge on top without review? I am assuming there's no point to a PR if everyone can just merge)

- decreases shared learning and understanding (I might think the code follows our standards but there still may be feedback from my team that could help improve. Why put that in the main branch before such feedback? It seems like it would be hard to keep track.)

I can't imagine my team performing well under those circumstances and I think we have a very healthy code review / quality culture. If I'm not giving or receiving feedback - that sounds more like code slinging than thinking and humility, even for the most experienced architects I've worked with welcome feedback, so it's not a matter of trust.

I appreciate more takes in this space and what elim could be. Best of luck!

That said, I find Fabriq to be more inline with what I (no affiliation) think about an app to help cultivate relationships: https://ourfabriq.com/fabriq

Our Linux product is currently focused on big budget post facilities which often use Linux.

What's the value prop for a studio to run something on Linux vs Mac / Windows?

This is interesting to me to hear as the trope for Linux is that it's not used for audio/video work (and couldn't find much online about real world professional usage without pulling up reviews of best video editor / etc sort of results).

Also, congratulations on the release - rewrites are a huge undertaking.

Are you just saying that Windows users longer need to use PuTTY or similar?

That sounds convenient but leaves me wondering what particularly about that quality of life improvement changes how you view Windows.

Let's be fair - I don't think we're talking about simply swapping lists when you zoom out. At a minimum, any value prop would have to match the existing major app stores such as verifying binary sources, rejecting malicious apps, and the like.

I think the main question I see is - do multiple stores benefit the user?

I'm not sure of that answer but I think we can agree that multiple stores do NOT help the default app store, which in turn could be beneficial to the consumer (multiple stores that have to compete on pricing w/ deals, self publishers offering a cheaper price directly, etc. - think more like grocery stores selling the same stuff vs farmers market vs direct from farm).

I'm no economist but I think we could also agree that having at least a few options is generally A Good Thing.

edit: regardless, even in a world with multiple stores the point re: attack surface is a good one and one of your other comments regarding what users actually value like safety is an important one, which as a business are the things you need to weigh on to make a profit

I'm biased to appreciate that F-Droid even exists but providing a default list is not cognitive dissonance, and what you've said suggests that you may have missed the author's point.

You can connect whatever "collection of apps" source you desire but you're correct that you do get the "F-Droid List" out of the box.

It may feel odd to show no apps when initially using F-Droid but, in theory, one improvement may be to have the user explicitly choose a source list and maybe the "F-Droid List" is first in the list among others.

Going in that direction would also help expose that particular feature as I wasn't even aware that you could add / change sources for F-Droid, which sounds like if easy enough to add may be an easier avenue to self publish apps than the major app stores.

I agree that censorship is not the best angle the article concludes on but I don't think "user choice, decentralization, and community-controlled curation" are abstract ideas. The article is concrete what this looks like practically speaking:

This means F-Droid gives you selected apps by default without bans or censorship. When you install the F-Droid app, it automatically connects to the collection on f-droid.org that is maintained by this community. F-Droid also makes it easy for anyone to publish their own repository, with their own curation rules.

i.e., yes, you do get the "F-Droid List" by default, but you are welcome to connect to a different list or publish your own "list" of apps that has its own curation rules.

Imagine if you could view Apple or Google's app store with an "awesome app" list curated by a list of experts you follow without all the junk of suggested apps or ads. That would go in the direction of "meta-curation" akin to what /u/hinkley is referring to in a another comment [1].

Nobody seemed interested in making this so I just made it myself and I've been using it for the last 2 years very happily.

Based on your profile, I presume you're talking about https://notado.app/?

I also see an error but instead:

What web dev tools do you find valuable that Chrome has over Firefox?

If you use the Multi Account Containers extension [1] built by Firefox and use the built-in Firefox account sync, then you'll get that same functionality in Firefox across Windows, Mac, iPhone. That doesn't seem like a whole lot of effort and you get more functionality.

The biggest improvement over the account-based Chrome experience is that you could even have contexts (containers) for several things if you like - a container group for social media, a different container group for banking, work, shopping, etc.

All in different tabs, color-coded / labeled by container group, each with isolated cookies, etc but shared bruiser history in the same window just like in Chrome (I'm assuming) but with better privacy.

Far more arguably useful is the section on code smells, which is unfortunately overshadowed by the design patterns: https://refactoring.guru/refactoring/smells

For those curious, this is accurate according to Department of Labor: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/state/minimum-wage/tipped

However, I think the point being advocated in this thread is that businesses should have to pay minimum wage (before tips). That said, it would be interesting how employers would respond if that was required by law - since removing tips would not save the employer any money, I wonder if that would result in less hiring.

Honda has done what no other car maker is doing,

Huh? The author is not familiar with Mazda - their latest models of the CX line (possibly others) have full control of the interface with a very functional physical knob / dial along with other tactile controls.

Also, the headline is a bit misleading - they aren't removing touchscreen controls entirely - only removing them from "some" controls as their preface text indicates, which to be clear is solely A/C controls.

It was inspired by Firefox Test Pilot experiments performed about a years and half ago - https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2018/06/05/latest-firefox-test...

It's actually quite convenient to watch a video while you're browsing elsewhere (e.g., a passive video you aren't intentionally watching all of but also trying to do other things). I didn't think I'd use it but every once in a while it's nice.

They do help if a single team of 5-7 developers own a set of microservices; it's unlikely you will have tons of PRs to merge all at once in a single repository with a smaller team. Granted, the ownership is is a bit more clear when talking about a self-contained system that a team owns: https://scs-architecture.org/vs-ms.html

In the SCS literature, you would integrate via async mechanisms across SCSes, provide versioned interfaces, and enforce via consumer-driven contract testing like Pact: https://pact.io

Could you elaborate more on how it is totally different?

I understand your target audience is not YNAB per se, but b/c of that very fierce loyalty you could draw some currently paying customers like myself. :)

I ask this in a genuine way but I'll try to play around with Lunch Money.

From your landing page, these features all exist in YNAB: * being able to review transactions that need to be categorized, splitting transactions * adding projected monthly expenses that haven't been charged yet * warnings for an account not importing correctly * allowing you to choose between what you spent last month vs budgeted last month vs spent on average

What does seem unique is better visualization on anticipation of spending and spending habits, which is definitely nice!

Though I think what you mean is perhaps the "feel" of budgeting vs the exact features. At the end of the day, YNAB just forces you to categorize vs envelope method technically.

YNAB user here - this looks great and I love new tools :) but what differentiates this from YNAB besides non-envelope budgeting method?

also nice - the ability for a partner/spouse to collaborate on the same budget which is also a nice plus Lunch Money has if there is an "last edited" feature and collaboration as a 1st-class thing (YNAB is stubborn on this point)

From email to Republic Wireless customers:

Republic Wireless will soon be launching our new product, Relay, a device that gives families a safer way to stay in touch. It’s as simple to use as a walkie-talkie, but works wherever a cell phone works, includes location tracking, and will in the upcoming months have other fun features such as music, games, and voice assistant functionality.

Could someone explain how Edge is performing so well or any references to what they have done in this regard? Has the Edge team already implemented this streaming and tiering compiler technique?

We present a novel approach for real-time facial reenactment of a monocular target video sequence (e.g., Youtube video). The source sequence is also a monocular video stream, captured live with a commodity webcam.

Wow, this is impressive. Thank you for sharing! If that made its way on Hacker News on its own already, it surely deserved it.

For those who didn't go to the link, there's a short video demonstrating the technology -- one example shown is a YouTube video of George W. Bush being modified real-time by a webcam stream reenacting the facial expressions of the source user superimposed over the target.
