I feel like the headline here should be different.
Very cool idea. Would be even better if it had an option to use a local language.

Really? According to Pangram the Czech article is 94% AI written. So it's wrong?

Fair critisism, but it's not a paid product.
> And for what?

How about to meet an aribrary deadline your boss set? Or how about a deadline needed that keeps the company afloat? Are you going to tell your boss: we need 6 more months because it's irresponsible to ship code we don't fully understand?

Why does this have only three upvotes?

Extremely token hungry though. Which will be a problem once the price goes up!

Re:Friendship ended with Deno, now Node is my best friend on Tuesday October 06, 2026 @04:36AM (#49975823)
Node.js has a built in test runner and it is excellent. https://nodejs.org/api/test.html

Not sure if the runtime should be responsible for linting of type checking.

If that's OpenStreetMap data, it is missing the required attribution.

I feel a little salty about the plan changes. I wanted to upgrade to the $200 plan a day after it was blocked. Now it only includes half the usage unless for those that got grandfathered into the x20 usage.
Well, that's that the European Central Bank calls it. https://www.ecb.europa.eu/euro/digital_euro/html/index.en.ht...
Do you mean accelerate the digital euro plans?

Ahh you got me. Finished the first chaper of the 'free online' Gist of Go book, then in the second chapter it turns out the first chapter was a freebie.
Re:Claude discovers a novel enzyme system with CRISPR-like repeats on Thursday September 24, 2026 @03:04AM (#49827223)
The title says "Claude discovers" not "Anthropic discovers". The latter would be fair since they seemed to have funded the research. "Claude discovers" is just marketing hype.

Re:Hacking with Claude on a $27 Smart Watch on Friday August 21, 2026 @08:50AM (#49387327)
I did exactly the same with my favorite 2014 Pebble app.

https://apps.repebble.com/nuovo-multi-timer_d0a1a7162b53466f...

Cannot relate. I do not have notifications enabled on my Pebble.

I don't have any guilt over not having enough steps at the end of the day. But I am walking more thanks to my smartwatch.

I can start a timer in seconds when I am meditating, when I am cooking, when I am starting the watching machine. Also I have made a little app that shows me the weights and reps and sets I need to do for my powerlifting programme. I don't have to bring my phone to the gym. Lastly, I made a little app that shows me one thing I need to be doing for my morning routine or the next TODO on my todo list. A god send for someone suffering from ADHD.

‘Ads’ is a bit of a stretch. They put opt-in referral links.

Lump of labour fallacy spotted.

This. They learned nothing from Netscape.
There is a way to implement this functionality in an interoperable way that complies with the DMA. Apple just chose not to. Not because it's impossible to implement it in a privacy-respecting way, it just wants to lock people into their ecosystem, the exact thing DMA is protecting users against.

Apple realized its standard malicious compliance playbook won't fly this time, so now they're trying to sway public opinion by not rolling out this feature in the EU. It won't work. They're just going to lose market share and will have to backtrack when they do. Tech regulation doing its job.

What's excellent about it is that almost all exercises do not just include the problem statement, but also an explanation of Elixir syntax and standard libraries. There's also a ton of resources to in-depth resources. And there are extensive dependencies configured between exercises so you learn everything in a gradual way.

So all in all, a lot of love and effort has been poured into the Elixir track specifically.
