Yes, some banking apps do this.

The simple solution --- install the bank's web site as an app.

Go to the site, click the browser menu button (3 dots on Android or up arrow on iOS) and select "Add to Home Screen". You now have a link icon on your phone that looks and acts just like any other app.

Some banks (Chase for example) offer a "Progress Web App" which removes the browser interface elements so the causal observer can't even tell it's not a native app.

I know that the matplotlib API combines two distinct styles, but it is little comfort when I'm struggling to wrangle a plot. To this day, I have to look up the API to do anything even slightly non-standard. Contrast with ggplot in R where it's a lot more straightforward. I've tried 'language of graphics' implementations in Python like Plotnine but they're just subtlety different enough from the ggplot implementation in ways that are annoying.

That's 25 single family homes for company owners only. Don't forget they also gave jobs and salaries for a thousand of people, and a product for the market to use.
YouTube I am not so sure, I have a feeling it has to do with how little sway the content owners have in the ads that play on their videos. If you are a big channel you may have enough of an audience that more traditional brands would like to reach but for most I imagine you take what you can get. Though I really am not sure how YouTube does things--they are one of the "walled gardens."

The same commercial 10 times in a row is an awful experience and most media owners try to avoid it, but depending on the content it could be the only ad bidding against you as a viewer. Generally there are frequency limits in place to avoid this from happening. On more mature platforms this tends to be the case. Sometimes it can't be avoided due to glitches, poor ad tech stack integrations, or greed, the owners would rather prioritize the cash over UX.
> against specializing in using someone else's product

I'm assuming you're a software engineer of some sort. Do you have an issue with using computers even though they're made by someone else?

I'd assume the answer "no", but you'd probably be uncomfortable if you only knew how to use a MacBook Pro (or whatever).

Prompt engineering, if it does take off as a real profession, will be the same. The skillset should be applicable whether you use Dall-E or an open-source generative model.
Do recruiters ask you how good your Googling skills are now? They don’t, and you need to have really high expectations of the “LLM+chat” paradigm to think that it will be as useful and prevalent as search is now.

> It appears they've rolled out some kind of bug fix which looks at the answers they've just printed to the screen separately, perhaps as part of a new Bing session with no memory, to decide whether they look acceptable

This has been around for at least a few days. If Sydney composes an answer that it doesn't agree with, it deletes it. The similar experience can be seen in ChatGPT, where it will start highlighting an answer in orange if it violates OpenAI's content guidelines.
Almost everything associated with the iPhone is a casualty of "We need to collect our 15-30%".

Yes, and I think it just changes your own idea of what's acceptable.

In my college, I probably ranked pretty high on "articulate and driven" so there was no motivation to elevate that. At MIT, I would have probably been below average on these categories, and you don't want to be below average so you naturally do it more and better.
In a cross-country trip, many EA stations had more or one charger not working in some way, but they all had a least one functional. Likewise, drive up to any random gas station, and it's not uncommon to see at least one with a plastic bag over the nozzle, and those card readers fail as well (to say nothing of the risk of skimmers)

I really feel that's this is just inherent to async/await model, you can only put so much lipstick on a pig.

Light threads + messaging (whether proper like Erlang or bastardized like Go) feels like far superior model for concurrency in near-all cases and also easier to write and reason about (series of "functions" sending messages looks very similar to serial code) but I'd imagine it would be very hard to make convenient in GC-less language

I have a CCS car, and I love it, but this is despite the charging network not because of it.

The ratio of cars:chargers is probably pretty good, or maybe even better for CCS, in a perverse way because Tesla has such a sales lead.

Unfortunately CCS networks in the Northeast tend to install themselves well off the highway in back corners of giant shopping center or mall parking lots.

Route I used to take on my Tesla without leaving the highway, or only needing to leave the highway for 1 mile, instead require large detours for CCS.

NJTP for example has been a mess for CCS by compare, though it should be better, eventually, with the EvGo partnership. I95/Rt15 through CT is similarly very bad.

Software development is a far more evaluable profession than teachers. Most of the "problems" that bad teachers create don't show up for a few years.

Contrast that with code that doesn't compile/link or requires way more QA. Or personality issues that are sorted quite easily by a functional team/leader.

Teachers are more like naval vessel commanders than software engineers.

If I'm understanding it correctly, you are saying doing 20% time on a side project is a career risk as you won't be seen to be "delivering" as much as your peers (because the side project is not valued).

Is it even worse than that - you get rooted out because innovation side projects marks you out as being troublesome (as it does not align with corporate plans/goals)?

Again: absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence; brief posts tend to omit many obvious factors.

Perhaps instead of lamely defending your original post, you could instead add to the discussion by digging up the actual historical rate of increase and using it to rework the calculation for a more detailed result, and then project the current rate of increase into the future for the next few centuries and see how much of a dent that makes. Come to think of it, why didn't you do that in the first place?

> Apple could allow personal hobby apps at basically no cost.

> This does not require sideloading or loosening the security. It requires a slight relaxation of the provisioning system for single devices - something which exists already.

They have always had that option. However it goes against the "You bought it, but we retain control forever" aspect that Apple exudes on every hardware line. And even though installing software outside of their "App store" is possible on the laptops, my guess is that soon will not be. Iron-fisted control is their modus operandi.

> The obvious upside is that people who start off building hobby apps may well move into developing apps - and perhaps even associated hardware - professionally.

The counter to that: by having a much of even lower class shovelware, like Android, devalues their platform. They want money developers and big name companies. And it's even better if your org is exclusive to Apple. Stay off those "green text bubble" devices.

> I don't care what the fanboi justifications are. Not doing this makes absolutely no commercial sense. Apple is gaining a somewhat imaginary $99 a year, which hobby developers won't pay anyway, and losing extra sales of hardware and apps which are potentially worth far more. It's also driving hobby coders towards competing ecosystems.

It makes commercial sense if you want to create a nearly impenetrable moat around your hardware, software, and userbase. The $100/yr dev license is also a signpost to everyone that "we mean business - we don't want riff-raff here". And combined with other anti-user and anti-developer decisions (soldered in ram; cpu; disks, and industrial glue on everything now) those devs are either biting the increasingly painful prescription of bullets, or they have already left to "lesser platforms", with low user numbers.

IMO relevant blurb:

> Rerun is an SDK for logging data like images, tensors and point clouds, paired with an app that builds visualizations around that data. We built Rerun for computer vision and robotics developers. It makes it easy to debug, explore and understand internal state and data with minimal code. The point is to make it much easier to build computer vision and robotics solutions for the real world.
Always felt that was because there were a few things he wanted in the machine, power, high storage, high resolution, multitasking, networking, voice recording and the only way to achieve those was a price tag that could only be sold as a workstation.
As someone in the maritime industry (ship design), I tend to agree that local manufacturing is an important component. However, there is still the distribution of raw materials - from concentraded locations where materials are mined/recycled, to points of manufacture, then to points of end use.

In an ideal world, we'd have universal star trek 3D printers that can build any imagined product, from food to cars, from some the atom up, that is used and recycled in situ. Until then, I'm afraid there will be a growing need for cargo transport.

That said, I am a proponent of scalable/distributed vice monolithic transport modes. To me, that is where we need to head in terms of ship/rail/etc. systems. This revolution in design is already starting to emerge.

We're a team of 3 (with mostly 2 people coding) working on a Slack alternative for communities if you are interested to read through what the code base looks like https://github.com/linen-dev/linen.dev

The client side can get a bit complicated but it's a good look as to what it looks like for a production app.

I started this out by myself and the things I wanted to optimize for was my own productivity. I started out with React, Nextjs, Prisma, Tailwind and typescript all the way with a mono repo. Probably the most productive I have felt coding.

As we've grown the code base has gotten more complicated and started to move things out in to it's own packages but still keeping things in a mono repo style. We've added Elixir for our websocket service for the realtime chat portion but if I were doing a crud app it'd be unnecessary.

For tests we decided to focus on backend tests since they were much cheaper to write and maintain.

Anecdote of one but...

Have an uncle who is / was (recently retired) a welder. He worked everywhere, did all sorts of welding, and even got certified to do underwater stuff -- which he did for 2 years and GTFO out of as soon as he made enough $$$$

He got skin cancer on his next and on his right elbow. Cuz that's where the gloves and other PPE clothing had gaps, esp. when he leaned certain ways or use his right hand to move the torch.
I don't like the appeals to mortality (at all), the "things just fall away in the face of death" argument. It is like "The Top Five Regrets of the Dying" all over again.

The "regrets" sound good, are honey for our eyes and ears. But of course, we reason, they should have—it's always them, not us—thought more about family and less about work, picked up the phone and called their friend, written a note to the family members who had invited them to their wedding anniversary.

In the end, we don't call our friend because we don't feel like it, maybe we tell ourselves that if we weren't so lazy and busy we would do it, as if laziness were an unappealable sentence instead of a choice. We don't change jobs not because we are afraid, but because we make some calculations about trade-offs.

We prefer to spend time at work rather than with the family maybe because the wife or husband has put on forty pounds since the wedding, and children surely are the greatest joy, but if we were to go back in time maybe we wouldn't make them. Plus, if we hadn't worked all those hours, who would have thrown money around the house?
How can we be on social media instead of talking to our family members, friends, kids, spouse, some may ask.
Maybe we are not just a victim of the times, it is just that we have talked to our friends 1500 times and in our pocket there is a world that engages us, interest us.
We would have loved to be more adventurous in expressing our feelings, of course, but we were well aware that those we wanted would never come with us.

We live life now and, apart from some unfortunate fellows, we are not likely to die tomorrow or in one week or in one year. Embarrassment will maybe go away when we are dying, but what about the 10/20/30 years or more between now and then?
yeah what happens when it ingests all of us saying how stupid it is? Will it start calling itself stupid or will it get defensive?

Or perhaps we could try asking schools to do less. Based on my experience in education burnout in "Bad schools" comes from a handful of terror students, and in "good schools" from a handful of overly demanding parents.

Students who cannot behave in an appropriate manner shouldn't be the schools problem, they should be the parents problem. Ultimately they are the communities problem, but schools aren't the appropriate place to solve it.

Demanding parents is a different problem but is much easier to manage if you are treated as a professional(on par with a Lawyer, or Accountant) and have the ability to make professional decisions that require formal steps to challenge.

If you are developing an application and there is no change at all to it over an entire week, the most likely scenarios are either you haven't worked on it or it is effectively complete.

Now, if you've let it lie for a while, I can see wanting to run it cold just to refresh your memory of the state of the application, but other than that, I can't think of anything that wouldn't be a very uncommon edge case.

from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:

Share and Enjoy' is the company motto of the hugely successful Sirius Cybernetics Corporation Complaints Division, which now covers the major land masses of three medium-sized planets and is the only part of the Corporation to have shown a consistent profit in recent years.

The motto stands or rather stood in three mile high illuminated letters near the Complaints Department spaceport on Eadrax. Unfortunately its weight was such that shortly after it was erected, the ground beneath the letters caved in and they dropped for nearly half their length through the offices of many talented young Complaints executives now deceased.

The protruding upper halves of the letters now appear, in the local language, to read "Go stick your head in a pig," and are no longer illuminated, except at times of special celebration.

No. That would only be possible if Sydney were actually intelligent or possessing of will of some sort. It's not. We're a long way from AI as most people think of it.

Even saying it "threatened to harm" someone isn't really accurate. That implies intent, and there is none. This is just a program stitching together text, not a program doing any sort of thinking.

Rescript extremely underrated imo. For self-contained projects it's strictly superior to typescript: its type system is simultaneously easier to work with and more sound, with better type inference. The tooling isn't better per se but it's easier to use.

If you have dependencies it depends. Writing bindings to all of them can take up a lot of time. Gentype from typescript types is often enough, but not always.

Hope to see this one catch on a lot more. It's an incredible alternative to typescript.
