Ape Coding [fiction] 5 months ago

I always thought that ape coding is what we call vibe-coding nowadays. Maybe the write of the article (maybe an ai generated blog?) misunderstood the terms.

The Connectivity Standards Alliance Announces Zigbee 4.0 and Suzi 8 months ago

It is supposedly an open source standard that do not requires internet connection to work, and can use regular wifi (2,4ghz) networks as a means to connect devices so you do not need to buy a hub for them. You can create your own hub with a mini pc for instance with a regular wifi card. No need for specific hardware

Ask HN: Is AI replacing any software jobs? 1 year ago

My personal case: (I am a software engineer)

I basically stopped using "stack overflow" web to help me find code issues. Now I just ask the model. It's usually faster and much more concise. Also many of my google search has been discontinued and just use a model to ask what I want. The only problem is about being updated. Models have a set of trained data so new content is not there. So for very recent or new things old "googling" still there...

with regard to languages:

-To learn try something easy and well structured as Pascal or Ada. Those languages will teach you organization and well structure code. C family of languages are extremely loose and vague, avoid them if possible.

-After learning the basics go for python if you like data science or machine learning.

-Go for javascript if you plan to do frontend with react or just web development.

-Go for rust/ada for system programming.

-kotlin or dart/flutter for android. Swift for Apple systems.

-C# or lua for game programming.

Her Treatment Was Helping. That's Why Insurance Cut Off Her Coverage 2 years ago

Europe here. It is sad to see the results of the EEUU healthcare system. I still do not get why people do not vote for a more rationale and public service. I guess the EEUU media have brainwashed their people into thinking that a private health system is better. People do not see the problem until it affects them ... until it is too late...

Appstun Apple Developer Account Termination 2 years ago

Sadly you have learn, the hard way that no business can be sustained over a 3 party company, much less Apple. Maybe, making this public will help you. Good luck, but I will try to switch to a more free model

Ask HN: Am I crazy or is Android development awful? 2 years ago

I also agree that the development experience is awful. I have more than 10 years as an Android developer and Android Studio (someone remember when it was derived from Eclipse?) is painfully slow, even in modern machines. Just starting a new project is a ridiculously sluggish process. Also Gradle is a piece of hyper-complicated software that (almost) nobody is interested in, but it is there and you have to deal with it. Nowadays I am basically moving to Flutter, much more simpler and easier than kotlin.
