Gradle/Studio rot is so bad. If you continuously keep up to date it's not so bad, but you're absolutely fucked if you want to open a project from a year ago.

Unfortunately this doesn't actually protect you from that since you still have to deal with that for both the actual "make an APK" step as well as the Java bindings for critical features.

Ask HN: Using LLMs for coding, Is there a preferred language/framework?
When build a web app or a mobile app, is there such a thing as best suited language or framework that the LLMs like Claude or gpt4o excel at, significantly better than the next best language/framework?
I'm curious as to what your experience has been, haven't been able to find much discussions on this topic.
I do the same with my Steamdeck! It's really a remarkable device. I'm incredibly appreciative to Valve for making it open and Linux-based.

Desktop mode is pretty good, and it works with most hardware. It's plenty powerful enough to be a portable laptop, plus after the work is done you can pretty easily grab a few hours on a game :-D
> mine has so many bugs

What bugs? I have mine for like 3 month and its probably the best expierence I had on any android device over the last dekade. Everything works so well and smooth.

The only thing i critize is that the dock is not USB-C powered (so I could relocate it in the kitchen to watch stuff while cooking).
Any chance a decompiler like ghidra might get you part ways there?
> that we shouldn't explore areas of science because cheaper science should be prioritized

I’d put it slightly differently: if the best thing a group of scientists can come up with for $17bn is something like the FCC, there are probably better things to be done with those resources.

It might be science. It might be humanitarian. It might be military. (It might be fundamental collider research. As in how do we do orders of magnitude higher energy physics without building solar-system sized synchrotrons. Or, alternatively, a series of proving experiments that aim to better understand what a collider with a substantial chance of uncovering new physics might look like, e.g. in characterising the neutrino fog.)

The FCC is a copy-paste make it bigger LHC. As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, the LHC was built to detect the Higgs. We had a goal going in and reason beyond “it isn’t elsewhere” for the particle being in the energy domains the LHC could probe. We have nothing analogous for FCC energies.

I want to end on a positive note: I’m excited about the muon collider [1]. In part because it’s a new type of collider, which increases the chances of learning something new, whether that be science or engineering. In part because it gets one step closer to possible electronuclear physics [2].

> 17bn is more or less NASA's budget if you suddenly want to discuss the European scientific budget with America as a baseline. It's also more than two times the budget of the ESA (European Space Agency)

Annually. The cost of building something for $17bn is amortized over many years. Nobody is writing a $17bn check.
My idea was to show that even if we use rather conservative estimates, with some safety margin, running Firefox development on users' donations / subscription looks very viable.

Also, donating to a non-profit is tax-deductible in the US, so some donations can be larger as a tax optimization.
Igor Pro is nice but the underlying language which grew out of a set of macros is pretty rough to work with (by default works via side effects and mutation of global state, though there are ways to contain them). However, I know people who have built some nice GUIs on top of it. While it does have HDF5 I/O integration, there's no memory mapping and it will choke on larger data sets from what I recall.

I've heard promising things about Makie [1] in Julia; there is also capability to build a dashboard called Genie [2] (and a commercial dashboard builder [3]) though not sure if Makie and Genie play nicely together at the moment.

I keep a Raspberry Pi for when I need to do some ARM64 stuff, but yes I agree it's a bit frustrating. Though, I'd love to skip ARM altogether and go to RISC-V
Cute, love the idea! Would perhaps cut the examples to be substrings to avoid long comments that mention the issue in passing once, but that’s a personal preference. Either way, actually seeing the graph on mobile is wonky, and IMO the example is way less interesting than the graph — maybe make it bigger and more front n center?

These cloudflare dns policies make it painful to use their services.

I have a client, I'd like to migrate some stuff to cloudflare from AWS. But I'm just not going to do it unless I can migrate very incrementally.

And I can't migrate to their registrar without their DNS, and I can't migrate to their CDN without their DNS on my root-domain. Ugh! I really want to be able to give Cloudflare a try, but this really just isn't feasible.
This is probably the worst analogy I've read this year.
If I were to guess, it's to be able to use the all the packages in the Python ecosystem, directly. It's for situations in which Python is already a given. In fact, it's probably the case that many Python programmers can't even use this, due to being in a situation in which even the poor syntax is nonnegotiable.

Why fund any research on any topic? What if nothing pays off? Why bother trying anything that might fail?
The closest I came across was a Z80 simulator, I forget the name of it. But it allowed you to step through command by command giving you ability to query the processor state in a terminal.

So I don’t know if it would be easier trying to find this, and updating it to support rabbit, vs trying to wedge something into ghidra which itself is an undertaking of a behemoth platform. As far as I know ghidra does not have Z80 support.
This is largely how the video game industry works in my experience. (which is mostly software development)
You can just run Android apps on the Quest directly.

Can we not move past the iOS vs Android thing? Use what you'd like. What does the author have to gain by trying to convince people to use the same phone OS as he does?

All of these points could have a very easy retort on why someone would prefer iOS, and most of them simply come down to personal preference. More customization isn't always a feature. If it was, MySpace would still be king of social media and Facebook would have never taken off.
Posting images, articles and other content doesn’t grant everyone the right to use it for every purpose. Especially not to republishing it partially under the excuse a machine is doing it. It’s just not the same as someone getting inspired by it or citing it.

$2tn for 630 jets isn't "overspending"???
Pricing algorithms have ALWAYS been private, for any business. They tell you the price straight up. You either like the price or you don't. They don't and should not need to explain where the number came from. Do you whine about the pricing algorithms behind McDonalds or the grocery store? I would hope not.
I don't think that's true; my recollection, which appears to match https://source.android.com/docs/core/virtualization/architec... , is that Android uses hardware support to run VMs that even the host kernel can't actually see into.
Instead of regulations, I think this is the kind thing that should be driving a push to unionize tech. For the most part we don’t need to worry about dangerous job sites or low pay, but we do have to worry about unethical business practices.

Specifically, if we had widespread “codetermination”, which gives board seats to union members, the people that build things would have a say in what they’re being asked to build.

I find difficulty putting much stock into it. Perhaps my answer is why: no, I don't have a 'best friend' at work. I do maintain connections with useful specialists, though.

I'll go to bat for my team/trust they'll do the same, but I avoid friendships at work for the same [personal] reasons one may avoid working with family.

I have a lot of acquaintances. None of them know what really makes me work, so I don't consider them friends. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't like what's behind the masks...

Now, in terms of effectiveness, it's a wash in my opinion. Distance has value, I can be the bad guy and not worry about it too much. I miss out on a lot but that's fine, I've seen a lot too.

If nothing else I want to offer this distinction: friends and friendly
> I admire these old protocols ...

The protocols that have a response code with an explanation is helpful. A help command is also helpful. So, I had written NNTP server that does that, and the IRC and NNTP client software I use can display them.

> Makes me think it's a shame that making a json based protocol is so much easier to whip up ...

I personally don't; I find I can easily work with text-based protocols if the format is easily enough.

I think there are problems with JSON. Some of the problems are: it requires parsing escapes and keys/values, does not properly support character sets other than Unicode, cannot work with binary data unless it is encoded using base64 or hex or something else (which makes it inefficient), etc. There are other problems too.

> Like imagine if in python there was some library that you gave an ebnf spec ...

Maybe it is possible to add such a library in Python, if there is not already such things.
I actually disagree, I think the success of the iPhone has proven Apple correct that people don't want to deal with "files." Personally I despise it, but as iPhones have become nearly ubiquitous in the US, I can't help but feel the sting of being in a minority group that actually wants a general purpose computer rather than an "appliance"
I presume you didn't follow the link I pointed to, which for sure points an .apk URL

Now, if you're trying to be extra cute by saying "react native is a webpage with more steps," I'm not trying to have that fight, but I can assure you with 100% confidence that Joplin's apk loads without Internet connectivity, making it not meet my definition of "a web app"
What evidence do you have that 1% of users would be willing to pay a subscription to Firefox? Given that the alternatives are free and probably already installed, and given the friction involved with signing up for a new subscription, I suspect the actual percentage is much less.
The behavior may be also vary depending on whether it's an actual link a document or direct input to the location bar. (I get different prompts on Firefox, while both will forward to the built-in system dictionary.)

And, of course, any further configurations may alter this, e.g., another service may have been registered for this protocol.

> It would make sense for a species near extinction to have small population clusters migrating and not bumping into each other

What evidence do you suggest supports this for 50k years?

The group Thorin was from may have been close to extinction when he died, but when genetic isolation started they were 50k years away from being that close to extinction. It seems remarkable based on what we know of hunter gathers or even animal population structure and movement, that there would be no mixing for that long.

They've already built a second tower in Texas, with at least another two more planned for Florida. Seems they're making quite a few revisions / improvements to the launch stand and flame diverter for tower 2 as well.

Seems like SpaceX understands, organizationally, that there's always another revision in the works, and failure is a necessary opportunity for learning and applying what you've learned to the next revision. Falcon 9's record seems to show this as has Starship's evolution.

By comparison, the Himalaya (maximum height, > 8800m) are only ~50m years old, are among the fastest rising mountains in the world, and Everest itself has an average growth rate over the period of 0.18mm/yr.

The fastest rising peak, presently, is Nanga Parbet, in Pakistan (part of the Himalayan Plateau), rising at 7mm/yr.

That's 70mm/decade, and 700mm (~3/4 meter) every century.

I dunno, it still sounds to me that nvidia is taking their (admittedly inaccurate) concept of a thread, putting a bunch in parallel, and calling that a warp to be cute.

I think the analogy still makes a kind of sense if you accept it at face value and not worry about the exact definitions. Which is really all it needs to do, IMO.

Again, I don't really know anything about GPUs, just speculating on the analogy.

As usual, the real story is buried beneath garbage anecdotes like this. The multiple elephants in the room include

- positional pricing, certain geocodes command what is called pricing elasticity, aka. people going to the hospital dont care about the price. Time based pricing elasticity is also exploited, for example, people leaving the concert at 12am likely dont have other options

- driver bonuses and rider coupons optimizing for marginal rides. The riders and drivers at the margins of pricing are typically switchers, which mean that if you are loyal to any particular app, you will likely never get see these coupons or bonuses

The fact that their projects are always DOA while their main product continues to lose market shares. If you were the CEO of Apple and you keep launching random products in fields were you have no expertise that are always abandoned after 2-3 years while the iPhone market share has dropped to single digits, you won't be the CEO for much longer.
Maybe at the point when this guy figured out that drinking a fifth a day was bad, and his insurance company was a piece of shit, he could have thought, I'll do something else. Jujitsu ? AA ? Heck, go to a church. Try one of those cheap ketamine clinics if you have to...come on, there are so many ways... I get it, you have insurance and it would be nice to use it but many, many medical interventions are flawed and the services are not going to fix your life for you. As this poor guy unfortunately discovered when he thought that his plan was going to help. No, it probably won't, and even a good provider may not be of much help.

One thing: both parties have done their part in changing cloture votes for nominees to simple majorities (though, of course, with the distinction that Democrats were frustrated with years of filibuster abuse, whereas Republicans used it simply to get their SCOTUS nomination through).

But whether its the filibuster or private entities caught in massive controversies (medical insurers wrt TFA, banks wrt the GFC, Big Pharma wrt the opioid crisis), the hemming and hawing over in government incremental change and any sort of real accountability, in the face of clear abuse and exploitation, is infuriating.

I'll add another wrinkle: all of this was predictable, because these issues that have become of concern for the entire country have analogues that weren't dealt with correctly when they were mostly affecting marginalized groups (LGBT folk accessing care, people of color accessing mortgages and dealing with the crack epidemic). Did we inadvertently build ourselves a framework for failure with those? I tend to think so. They're not new diseases, we just let old ones spread.
Probably. Still, a pricing algorithm may be based on all sorts of data points that get fed into an ML model. How sure are you that battery life or presence of credits don't make it in there, even accidentally?
This isn't cancellation, this is fair warning. Molyneux has an extremely well documented pattern of outright lying about his projects. He's told what are in retrospect outrageous lies about every single game he's worked on for decades. And he admits "exaggerating" afterwards and asks for forgiveness, and then goes and does the exact same thing to build hype for his next game.

This isn't a case of "we were too ambitious and had to cut things." This is a case of repeatedly promising outlandishly ambitious things in press appearances which were never on any internal development roadmaps.

The monitor requires hardware support that's semi-rare, but the rest should work? It's been a long time since I saw a phone that didn't support USB host mode so you can in fact just plug in a keyboard and mouse if you have an adaptor/dock. Beyond that, you're just limited by software availability, but on Android you can use F-Droid to get Termux. Not sure about iOS; maybe iSH?
