Skip: Transpile SwiftUI iOS Apps into Android Kotlin Compose Apps
Came across this on GitHub (https://github.com/skiptools/skip), thought it was interesting.

The docs go into a bit more detail of how this works: https://skip.tools/docs/

Seems notable that the transpiler is free during the tech preview, but pricing will be announced later. While the generated Kotlin code is probably not 1:1 with what a human would write, at least it seems you aren't completely locked in to it if you decide to leave.

Interesting idea– definitely a lot of surface area to cover and I am curious to see how it does. I personally love native app development, but wonder how big the downsides are once you start getting into detailed UX designs/architecture patterns...

Maybe using this for UI only and using Kotlin Native would be a better middle ground, but with Compose Multiplatform for iOS in development that might be an overall safer bet for native shared codebases.
Which is a very good thing, otherwise you wouldn't be able to replace a router and have stuff just work.

i’ve built bespoke automation at the api level for azure, gcp, and aws.

using azure makes you want to watch the world burn.

using gcp makes you want to give alcoholism a fair try.

using aws makes you wonder why we can’t have nice things.

ime those who prefer gcp tend to use a web interface. those who don’t have a preference tend to use iac. you want to work directly with the api, for innumerable reasons.

aws is the canonical example of use boring tech. nobody cares which database you use, not even a little. if you’re talking about your stack choices, your product likely has negative value.

of all the projects i pull into my rss reader, github commits on the aws-go-sdk-v1 are the most consistent and unsurprising. ive been following aws api and service changes since boto1.

there’s a lot i wish was different about aws, but nothing that’s urgent.

someday we’ll get better providers. it won’t be azure or gcp. it will be a new player.

by 2030 i’d expect to see someone disrupting aws by offering api compatible clones of the core services without egress fees. r53, dynamo, ec2, ec2 spot, lambda, s3, apigateway, sqs.
Until it's more expensive than premium satellite was, or $200/mo all-in. (Or $300/mo in today's USD.)
To be fair, all the dependencies in the maven central repository require a signature to publish them.
> The number one reason and tradeoff for cloud is uptime and availability and the cost of not having it

100%. I ran API networking teams at a Big Tech and I know the difference. My workload here is at a hobbyist+ grade, no controls, no compliance, best effort SLA. I don't want to ignore the reality that to get enterprise grade uptime and availability, it's really hard to do this on prem.
Google, and all other domain registrars, are obliged by ICANN to allow domain migrations in case that the original registrar is shutting down. Getting money from Squarespace is just icing on the cake. You're sounding that this is a decision that Google is doing voluntarily, but it's literally not an option here (for once).

Also if they're still keeping the original Google system then it's believable that they are indeed just selling Google Domains, but the fact that all domains must be migrated into Squarespace's system tells a different story.
> The problem is when they are overused in low traffic areas where they create obstacles to efficient continuous motion, increase pollution, and waste time.

The alternative (at least from my experience in the US) is a 4-way stop, and is worse for all those criteria.
Every GCP product is poorly documented.

There are often no examples at all, and when there are they only cover the "hello world" case.

Last I tried, the documented examples for Cloud Functions v2 simply did not work.
I'm well versed in the "philosophy" of science.

Personally though because philosophy encompasses stuff like animism I don't give the entire field much weight. Aspects of it are interesting but the entire field as a whole is a category error that encompasses everything on the face of the earth. What is not philosophy? I mean it sounds like philosophy is the study of anything and everything.

Anyway to your point physics supposedly is a mathematical model that can model everything down to the tiniest atom. There are holes where not everything can be calculated in a closed form equation and there are holes where the fundamental primitive is true randomness which is something hard to replicate or define.

In this sense physics can model almost (key adjective) everything in the the universe. Including most of all human activity. Because in the end that's of what's going on. Atoms.
I wonder how well the relay phone does store and forward, I guess it does otherwise AirTags are useless outside of cellular footprint territory.

Do you need memory safety? Then why use Rust when you could use Java, JS, Python, etc? You can't "disable" memory safety in those languages.

Do you need bare metal performance? Then why use Rust when you could use C or C++, which have much larger ecosystems, platform support, more mature tooling, etc.

Do you need BOTH memory safety and baremetal performance at the same time? Then there really aren't many other options besides Rust.

But what I've started wondering lately is: are there really that many situations where you actually need both of those things at the same time? C++ tends to get misused a lot, but I feel like the same thing is happening with Rust.

Humans who subscribe to game theory have gambled against Russia with much higher stakes than these in years past. I would not depend on “nobody can launch satellites” being sufficient deterrent when GTO brinksmanship with the USSR put only Stanislav Petrov between reality and total human extinction.

If you believe, as I do, that Ukraine’s ability to export shale gas to the west is a literal existential crisis for Russia as a state in the long term, then it makes sense that they would go to quite significant extents indeed to ensure that that remains impossible, right up to things that would mostly destroy Russian society in the process, tragically.
Yes but there’s a difference in who feels the pain. Compile time pain is felt by devs, who have the constitution and ability to fix such issues. Runtime pain is felt by users and can result in data loss and security issues in the wild, and is harder to debug.

One kind of pain has a bigger blast radius than the other. I prefer compile time pain to runtime pain.
> I'm having a hard time thinking of a non-Java package manager that was around at the time Rust came out that didn't have a single, global namespace.

Technically not in the same category, but Docker Hub (2014) had namespaces.
I've definitely met annoying Marxists who say things that you just don't know how to respond to because they're disconnected from reality. But I've also met Marxists who weren't weird tankies, who regarded eg the Societ Union as a failure which demanded their ideas be revised.

I've heard the complaint that Marxist academics are corrupting the youth many times but I just don't see any evidence for it. No one I met in school was a Marxist. And not to Godwin the conversation but it's uncomfortably close to the literal Nazi conspiracy theory/propaganda of Cultural Marxism, close enough that I suspect this is the original source of the idea (which is, to be clear, a comment on the heritage of the idea, and not a comment about you or anyone else who holds the idea), so I just can't really give much credence to it. And it feels like we're discussing politics rather than critical thinking here.

I think it's valuable to have your ideas challenged and to respond to some kind of feedback loop. Reality provides pretty good feedback loops, we're in agreement there. But there are plenty of times when you can talk your way into a bad engineering decision. Not to touch a nerve, but Boeing talked the FAA into approving various bad decisions about pilot training and tolerating a single point of failure around introducing MCAS to the 737 MAX. You might say this is an exception that proves the rules because they did result in an accident, but then why shouldn't we extend that same grace to the Marxists who aren't weird tankies?

I think you're discounting other forms of feedback. In the social sciences you often have limited empirical feedback because you can only analyze natural experiments, and because it's very difficult to infer a cause from statistics alone. But I think you overstate the extent to which rhetoric dominates and reason is subordinate. Sophistry doesn't have an infinite hold across space and across time. Maybe you are able to talk someone into believing a bad theory; that doesn't mean you can convince everyone or that they'll stay fooled forever.

You clearly have ideas about topics in the social sciences, at a minimum that Marxism is a failure. And I believe I've seen you comment about monetary theory. So you think that these things are epistemologically tractable, right? That it's possible to know these things? So why shouldn't it be possible to organize a field of inquiry into these topics? And if it's so vague and vulnerable to sophistry, how can you be sure you haven't been taken in yourself?

The capex of the computer is only about a quarter of the TCO over a 3-year amortization. I don't think it is as relevant as you seem to believe. However, I have definitely seen some naive analyses along these lines written by people with a predisposition for moving out of clouds.
I want to understand what you just said, but I fear watering your language down a bit might be a tall ask with some people. Would you be willing to eli5 what you believe Go did that was a horrible decision with regards to module/package namespacing?
I mean, the author makes the arbitrary decision to equate AWS accounts with GCP projects, and then from there determines that this is unsatisfactory. This is not my experience at all, and it wasn't until I joined a Fortune 500 company that I ever came across the idea of separate accounts - and they were split along corporate accounting divisions.
I don't understand your point?

Google is selling Domains to Squarespace. Yes, many techies will migrate their domains, but majority of the people on Google Domains probably wont. That's why Squarespace thought it was worth paying anything for, after all.

Personally, I'm moving my domains already. But, saying Google Domains was shut down is inaccurate - it was sold, as business units/subsidiaries tend to be...

What point are you trying to make? Because it has nothing to do with my comment as far as I can tell.
Your comment is addressed directly by the great-grandparent comment in that

1) It lacks all nuance because your question implies that if a person provides benefits to [whomever] and it's greater than their antics/demons, then you should like them. And that's simply not how the world works. And

2) The comment even said they wouldn't want to live in a world without SpaceX despite his antics.

People are complicated and so too are the views individuals hold about other people. It's not a spectrum where people eventually just dismiss extremely concerning things because someone made something cool.
I'm posting this just to compare power rates not to win an internet fight. My power bill is tiered, and at the lowest tier I'm paying double your rates ($0.28 / kWh.) Once I add a rack like that on I'd probably be bumping up to the next tier which will increase my power to something like 2.5-3x that rate. Because of the tiered system even my non-server load will be metered at a higher cost. It's really not worth it here to run servers at home if I'm not being highly power conscious.
I believe what the children need is each other. More time face to face with friends. Even if they're doing things on screens, just sharing time and activities in person with their peers helps to form and maintain friendships and helps to ground them in objective reality

I think you are mixing "corruption" with "mistake" in some parts. Everyone has ideals and everyone can make mistakes, this does not make you corrupt. When a bad outcome or disadvantage comes to light and wether the guy in charge reacted _reasonably_ or not to it, is where corruprion begins.

To repeat: simply beeing convinced that bicycles are the future of urban transit is not corruption.

The other examples you give are clearly corruption, because there is more involved in the decision making than plain reasoning or ideology (which again, is ok).

> in democracies, [it begins and ends with] the voters.

> "How we run institutions" is one of the current Big Challenges on humanity. How we do that currently really doesn't cut it. We have to find ways to do better.

You are agreeing with me here but you are still not concluding like me, that humans are the ultimate root of all our human made problems. So when you say

> Facts not in evidence! Democracy as we run it currently is a fantastic breeding ground for this kind of corruption.

You have to extend your criticism to any other governmental form and not singling out democracies!

Do you agree with my previous statement too?

> A democracy is the only form of government that enables peacefully revolutions by design.

If so, you also have to conclude, that education and critical/constructive discourse is the only basis for lasting solutions. This is my reasoning, im discussing on HN with you.

imo, no governmental form will be perfect but only educated citizens in a democracy will get a chnce to fix it.
I would choose Redshift over BigQuery but that's because I know how to use it. Actual skill at databases is increasingly rare, so BigQuery wins this one for most. Watch your bill.

They are forced to sell it by their contracts with ICANN - this is not a decision that they have done voluntarily. If they can legally shut down Domains they would have done it.

Sure, in any other contexts, selling Stadia customers to Microsoft or Nvidia (for example) would be a voluntary decision, however they are barred from just shutting down this one. They can even shut down Gmail or YouTube with no legal repercussions (sure their reputation will suffer but legally it's in the clear), but Domains is in a different legal standing.
Well once you introduce points into the theoretical world of functions, composition no longer fully works. It doesn't make sense.

While a program in practice can have "points" an algebra of functions should be a theory like number theory. Number theory deals with numbers only, function theory deals with functions only.

I'm not so strict on this in practice, the function must eventually be called and in the end the compositions converge into a point. But if you want to apply algebraic theory to the functions, they need to be point free.

Build on modular frameworks to localize accountability, automate edge-case testing to save time later, and automate deployment as needed.

Poor design planning casts a long shadow, it is a relatively interesting career cleaning up defunct projects in addition to training staff you don't fire for being malicious and or stupid. Sometimes one can't fire problems or fix a poorly thought out design within the resource budgets... at that point one walks away if they are smart.

Sometimes companies survive arsed IT, but many do not... For example, a 73% LLM written article wouldn't necessarily get you fired, but likely a 73% pay cut due to sub-optimal market utilization.

99.9% of people don't consider this an issue, I'd rather there not be one in the spec. It's just unnecessary complication. If you're the genuinely paranoid 0.1%, write a script.
Sure, sure. I totally get where you're coming from.

By the way, how's the Fire Phone holding up for you these days? I assume it's still working well and powerful enough to do your web searches on a9.com, and read sites like the Amapedia and DPReviews. Do you happen to know how many of the Alexa.com top500 sites it can browse, or do you need to ask on Amazon Askville? But I know it won't be able to play Amazon's hit game Crucible, that's a PC game!

If you need to play some tunes on your Amazon Tap speaker and don't have them on the phone, all your mp3s are right there on Amazon Music Storage, just where you left them with the Amazon Music Importer to be played with the Amazon Cloud Player. And the files are safely backed up on Amazon Drive just in case! It's the same thing with all the digital movies you bought on Amazon Unbox, they'll just be waiting in the cloud for you to download them. (Watching DVDs rented from LoveFilm is just so yesterday.)

And let's not forget Amazon's initial core competency of retail!

Just use your Dash Button to order some more books from Book Depository, it'd be a bother to have to go to one of the physical Amazon Books stores. It's just crazy how much stuff you can buy online these days! Shoes from endless.com, food delivered straight to your doorstep by Amazon Restaurants, concert tickets from Amazon Tickets, flash fashion from MyHabit.com, hotel bookings from Amazon Destinations, and all kinds of daily necessities for the family from places like diapers.com and soap.com. And don't worry, if you're bored of these normal online stores (like those set up with Amazon Webstore) and want a different experience, there's always Amazon Spark or Amazon Light for fresh takes on shopping! And for the really rare stuff, there's a good chance that there's some listings on Amazon Auction. Really, the only time I have to deal with local businesses is when I get one of those amazing group deals from Amazon Local (the code for that can surely be stored in Amazon Wallet).

I wonder what the right way to pay in one of those local stores is though... Will they take Amazon WebPay, or will I need to have my credit card scanned by one of those Amazon Local Register payment terminals?

But let's not think that it's all about consumption. I'm actually working on a screenplay myself, using Amazon Storywriter! Once I get it printed using BookSurge, it'll look professional af.
I continue to be delighted by indications that real high level languages compiling to Webassembly are supplanting the godforsaken nightmare of JavaScript. I think anyone focusing solely on JS is overdue for looking at those languages and getting up to speed on the huge differences before they wake up to find that the market for making and fixing kerosene lamps has been replaced by fusion reactors.

> Yes, it’s a pain using them when people who don’t know how to use them, use them.

Here in Michigan there are roundabouts everywhere. And I'd estimate oh maybe 20% of the drivers know how to use them. Because of that, I absolutely hate them.

A roundabout around here is just a total luck of the draw on what you will get: people treating it like a four way stop, people ignoring it completely and just blasting straight through at top speed, people going into the roundabout then stopping at every merge point, people going into the roundabout and stopping to let someone else merge in front of them, on and on. I'm still amazed at what people do.

I suspect the people who blast through it at top speed and cause an accident cause other people to turn into the type that treat roundabouts with extreme caution.

Just outside my neighborhood I must have seen 10 accidents in the past two years alone. That's a lot of accidents at an otherwise low traffic intersection.
I saw one of those Minis in real life for the first time the other day. My jaw still hasn't recovered fully from hitting the floor. What in the world were those people thinking?
That's a workaround.

I'm not a fan of those - if the engine's in the wrong place, then why the hell did you fucking put it there?

Don't hack a patch into place to stop people from holding it wrong; design it in such a way that it's impossible to hold wrong in the first place.

I think the invasion is less about Russia seeing Ukraine as an existential threat and more about Russia seeing Ukraine as rightfully there’s to take.

That’s why I don’t think Russia would actually retaliate in any significant way to the use of starlink.

They know it’s not an existential threat and that’s why they continue to draw red lines and when they get crossed literally nothing happens.

My electric scooter goes faster than that and longer range. But I can see it be handy for short distance stuff. The range is a bit of a joke considering they can probably beef that up more. Going to see the reviews how they stack up or how well they play.
My rack lives in an expensive energy market, and pulls just under 500W. Almost 40% of that is a Dell R430, which by itself costs about $50/mo to run.

Next time I have the energy (hah) for this flavor of home maintenance, the idea is to split the work it does off to a few fanless systems, I'm pretty sure I can knock at least 100W off that. Main challenge there is storage - I have a SAS shelf and need a low-wattage machine that speaks SF-8088.

Experimented some with a couple Raspberry Pis for some things, but they just don't seem built to run 24/7. One lasted about 4 months, the other died at about 12. (They PXEbooted, no local storage, it wasn't that.)
A lot of it probably has to do with competition with siblings too. I know personally that was always a thing with us. We aggressively monitored each others' getting of stuff. I still laugh about it sometimes. So silly but I'm glad people learn this way while the stakes are lower
It's only mentioned off hand in one sentence at the end, but have people found that Rust is hard to hire for? In my experience it's relatively easy to filter for good candidates when you're hiring for Rust, whereas, just as a point of contrast, I've noticed it's more difficult to find frontend developers who are good at TypeScript (since a lot of frontend developers just use plain JavaScript).
