Couldn't get the "Join the livestream" button to work in Firefox on desktop. No problem in Chrome.

Even if you have Android 16 it's not guaranteed the terminal works. It's disabled by Samsung on my Galaxy A55 for some reason. Maybe the hardware doesn't support the feature.

I'm just as baffled. I went to the comments to better understand but I still don't get it.

I've coded on my phone on several occasions. If you use Android, you don't even need a server or a home computer since Termux works really well as it is. It can run node.js and a bunch of other development tools easily. Or you can just ssh into a server with a development environment and do your stuff their (AI or not).

I pretty much already use my Steam Deck as my main Desktop computer at home (I have a laptop for work). If I wanted to upgrade, this would be a no-brainer.

It's basically possible with any device that supports DP Alt Mode? Any remaining issues are usually software (lack of proper desktop environment etc) but there are ways around that with Android. Samsung has DeX.

For me personally, it's just the convenience of always having my phone in my pocket. Sometimes when out and about and I have a bit of free time, but haven't brought my laptop, it's nice to be able to just pick up my phone and hack for a bit. I wouldn't do full blown project on it though.

I couple of years back, I really liked replit for having probably the best integrated IDE on a phone. Everything was so smooth and well thought out.

It's hardly just one single thing. The book is full of absurd scenes all the way through.

It was my first thought as well, before reading the landing page.

TIL why upload on 56k modems were capped on 33.6k. I always wondered about that. Super interesting stuff!

I also remember back in the day that my 56k modem would often only connect at like 48k or so, especially when it was raining. I guess living far out from the city made the connection more noisy?

It's not really meant for end users currently. Your only option is to build from source. But it has made a lot of progress in a relatively short time.

I tried to install it on ubuntu 22.04 and got a different error using pip. I'm not experienced enough with Python to quickly figure out how to proceed. It's a shame it isn't easier to install.

I've been using Android since 2010 and don't remember having any stability issues for the last 6-8 years at least. Maybe it's a Pixel-thing? I've mostly owned Sony and Moto devices. They're often 1-2 versions behind on Android which could explain why they're more stable maybe.

(I like to customize my phones a lot (minimalist launcher, Termux software, Firefox with extensions) which I would hate to give up for iOS).

This and the "C Programming Language, 2nd Edition" was how I taught myself C back in the mid 90's.
