Re:Pixel Watch 5 on Wednesday August 12, 2026 @01:28PM (#49275894)
30 hours of battery life is a deal breaker. I don't want to charge my watch every day.

I've been using the Garmin Forerunner for a few years now and the battery life is 2 weeks!

I don't know why but I really struggle comprehending AI written READMEs and comments. I understand the words but the way it's written is just distracting and unintelligible.
Re:My Thoughts on the Bun Rust Rewrite on Thursday July 09, 2026 @08:00AM (#48844511)
Do you have bias? I'm not saying I don't have some hidden bias but I have no skin in the game. I don't use Bun or Zig or plan to.

My reflection comes after reading Jarred's post yesterday, which I found interesting, and then Andrew's today.

I just pasted this article into an LLM to understand the tone and the summary is:

> The overall tone is deeply personal, cathartic, biting, and polemical, with flashes of humor and a deliberate attempt to soften the ending.

4) It's led by an emotionally unintelligent individual who will personally attack you for choosing alternative products.
Re:My Thoughts on the Bun Rust Rewrite on Thursday July 09, 2026 @07:48AM (#48844355)
This is unprofessional and embarrassing for Zig.

I know very little about Jared but his article yesterday, which I read, seemed appreciative of Zig. I now learn he's donated significant chunks of money to them.

This entire article is publicly and personally attacking him for choosing a different product.

It's insane to me that Andrew thinks this post will somehow exonerate Zig when it really just makes them look childish. Or maybe he doesn't care, and just wants to attack Jarred?

This is neat if you are avoiding the "getting red". My understanding is that the damage occurs with or without the sunburn but maybe this goes without saying.
Re:Upcoming breaking changes for NPM v12 on Tuesday June 09, 2026 @08:13PM (#48469565)
I bet there have been a hundred different discussions about this inside of NPM since it was disclosed 10 years ago. With Shai Halud it's gotten too big to ignore.
Re:Bitcoin and quantum computing on Tuesday April 07, 2026 @06:36PM (#47682232)
BTC thrives on hype and hope that others will buy in. A successful quantum attack would obliterate the value and future value.
It's silly to take an abnormal year and extrapolate it to be caused by global warming. Global warming is real, is a problem, and can kill us all. But it's very slow. My town has had two snowfalls in 2 years which are higher than any in the past 20 prior. I don't take one season to disprove global warming, nor should you take one warmer season and do the same.
Re:xAI joins SpaceX on Monday February 02, 2026 @06:09PM (#46863525)
I don't follow his promises but have seen first hand how far ahead Tesla FSD is compared to competitors in the consumer space. It's not even close.

This current announcement seems silly, though.

What does using a chat agent have to do with psychosis? I assume this was also the case when people googled their health results, googled their gym advice and googled for research paper summaries?

As long as you're vetting your results just like you would any other piece of information on the internet then it's an evolution of data retrieval.

It's just a different way of writing code. Today you at least need to understand best practices to help steer towards a good architecture. In the near future there will be no developers needed at all for the majority of apps.
> You no longer need to review the code. Or instruct the model at the level of files or functions. You can test behaviors instead.

Maybe for a personal project but this doesn't work in a multi-dev environment with paying customers. In my experience, paying attention to architecture and the code itself results in a much more pliable application that can be evolved.

Re:I dumped Windows 11 for Linux, and you should too on Sunday January 11, 2026 @07:28AM (#46575173)
I went Arch recently as well for about 6 months but am now back on Windows. I was impressed by the amount of games that "just work" but ultimately went back for the few that didn't. Had issues on BF6 and major performance issues on Borderlands 4.
uh, bc /r/politics is all about politics and this post is all about politics.

Edit - I'm fine with the article, it's abhorrent and relevant. My tongue in cheek comment was about the comments. These comments give me the same feeling of Reddit - angry people arguing over whether someones death was justified or not.

feels like i'm back on /r/politics
Re:Kagi News on Tuesday September 30, 2025 @01:20PM (#45428313)
It actually seems nice. I realize Reddit is not a news source but it used to be a great way to see current events and get level-headed takes on those events. This approach could be a better non-biased* alternative.

Re:FormKit: Form building framework for Vue 3 on Friday May 13, 2022 @01:57PM (#31370645)
These exist, such as: https://github.com/rjsf-team/react-jsonschema-form

We also built one from scratch and used it in client-facing production applications (Angular + React Native). The biggest hurdle is that JSON schema is great at describing the shape of the form data but not a great job at describing how the form looks. We ended up creating a separate "presentation" schema which handled things like order of the form, rows/columns, widgets to use, and much more.
