first they would need to create docs that aren't useless and completely disorganized to train on. the best way to figure out how to actually use more than the most basic examples of most the gcp sdks is by looking at the source code.

either a hello world example or an autogenerated class list with no explanations /rant

ya i was a GNOME hater for a long time after the GNOME 3 transition, switched between Mate and KDE for years. But gave up on those due to persistent video instability and went to vanilla Ubuntu GNOME and it's actually pretty nice. Not sure if it was good originally but I actually prefer it now.

it looks dense but perfectly readable. arguably more readable that way than if it had a bunch of extra new lines, definitions, and code blocks spreading the logic out into a larger visible area.

was close to getting one, more for worry free linux compat than for repair, but ended up with a mba instead for now mostly because of the touchpad. someday i will have my perfect linux laptop. i saw the framework youtube video where they failed trying to make a new giant haptic touchpad. don't do this just copy the mac. after you copy the mac you can try to improve it maybe.

As much as I've been using llms via api all day every day, being able to run it locally on my mba and talk to my laptop still feels like magic

New comment by abacadaba in "Examples are the best documentation"

abacadaba — Fri, 10 Oct 2025 12:23:48 +0000

Unfair example google has the worst docs in existence. Either a quickstart with one uselessly simplistic example or an autogenerated class list on a totally separate site with no explanations to be found. Often I just end up looking at their libraries source code to learn how to use it.

Hasn't everyone pretty much given up on making a new (standards compliant) browsers after Microsoft gave up?

(Or are they still trying to make Servo viable?)
