270 pages of documentation -- wonderful! /s

Best OT I've seen in a while : )

No worries! Thanks for pointing it out :)

You know, reading it back -- you're right. It could come across a little snarkey. My apologies.

I'll try and be a little less blunt in the future.

As opposed to...installing a totally new OS on your device -- right! You win this one! /s

termux-wake-lock answers all your concerns: please look deeper into the tools you use...

This is silly. It's quite simple to install Docker on any stock Android using Termux.

I've done it successfully a few times and it works just fine.

That one was for work - but let me try again on an example project and I'll share it sure.

I'm not saying you're wrong at all or in disbelief -- but I've spent lots of time with Claude 3.5 trying to prototype React apps and not even full fledged prototypes -- and I can't get it to make anything bug free somehow.

Maybe I'm "holding it wrong" -- I mean using it incorrectly.

True it renders quite interesting mockups and has React code behind it -- but then try and get this into even a demoable state for your boss or colleagues...

Even a simple "please create a docker file with everything I need in a directory to get this up and running"...doesn't work.

Docker file doesnt work (my fault maybe for not expressing I'm on Arm64), app is miss configured, files are in the wrong directories, key things are missing.

Again just my experience.

I find Claude interesting for generating ideas-- but I have a hard time seeing how a dev with six months experience could get multiple "paid" apps out with it. I have 20 years (bla, bla) experience and still find it requires outrageous hand holding for anything serious.

Again I'm not doubting you at all -- I'm just saying me personally I find it hard to be THAT productive with it.

What do you mean? I use DEX on S20 with Termux which is basically Linux with all the normal package manager stuff. Can run PostgreSQL, alpine docker files, PocketBase, Portainer, whatever.

There are nice editos too as well if you look around.

With 6GB of RAM it can't run LLMs beyond Tiny Llama, but it's def usable.

It's called Cancer, not X, Y and Z.

It's one disease -- just a very complex one.

Not sure what the cool thing is these days -- but for me at a Pantera concert it was for 99.5% men moshing in front of the band and it was awesome haha.

Not sure where you get your stat from anyways -- seems most of my local Latin dance groups have loads of men (more than women) sitting on the sidelines waiting for their chance to show their stuff : ))

It's interesting, could you expand on thus?

No this is stupid. Dance is super important, because it allows one or two people or just a few to form an instant social pod and enjoy themselves for a few hours.

I have a friend like you who wants everyone to live in "communities" with "communal living". He is just ultimately bossy and alienates all his friends (including me to be honest).

Try and force me to get to know my neighbours -- I simply will not. The last thing I need is someone trying to borrow "butter" or "dropping by" from 603 interrupting my desperately needed self time after working a 10 hour day.

Let me find my own friends and leave me alone to go out DANCING! And I'll find my friends no problem!

I would have never read your title. The whole reason I clicked was because of the mystery element.

On THAT laptop -- I already have it in a couple of other ones, plus my home server, plus my cloud server, plus Termux, plus....

We already have Termux, I don't get it.

Love it! It's like a Chromebook or Samsung DEX in my browser.

Linux in my near future...

So if Tandem is so out of favour these days, what do people and organizations use? AWS availability zones, etc?

You're right though -- all the parents I know desperately want alone time.

Let's not even talk about Belgium.

Though in other cities you can make friends much more easily, especially on the East Coast...

"Sure! I'll call you next week!" -- never to be heard from again.

Everyone seems very unhappy there socially.

We are real though.

As a fellow engineering manager -- I 100% agree. The more your engineers know as much as possible about the customers, the more they will code in the right direction just be understanding.

I stand corrected :)

I don't believe there was an Apple "silicone" group at that time. Thats a recent invention.

Apparently 1.9 meters tall which is a bit ironic considering how small the screens generally were back in those days. :)

Let's not forget that behind all this was actor -- including the improv and adlibs -- Matt Frewer.
