I did exactly the same with my favorite 2014 Pebble app.

Cannot relate. I do not have notifications enabled on my Pebble.

I don't have any guilt over not having enough steps at the end of the day. But I am walking more thanks to my smartwatch.

I can start a timer in seconds when I am meditating, when I am cooking, when I am starting the watching machine. Also I have made a little app that shows me the weights and reps and sets I need to do for my powerlifting programme. I don't have to bring my phone to the gym. Lastly, I made a little app that shows me one thing I need to be doing for my morning routine or the next TODO on my todo list. A god send for someone suffering from ADHD.

‘Ads’ is a bit of a stretch. They put opt-in referral links.

> To generate the $309 billion needed to service their debt, the AI industry will need to replace 46.8 million jobs, equivalent to around 27% of the current number of jobs in the US.

Lump of labour fallacy spotted.

There is a way to implement this functionality in an interoperable way that complies with the DMA. Apple just chose not to. Not because it's impossible to implement it in a privacy-respecting way, it just wants to lock people into their ecosystem, the exact thing DMA is protecting users against.

Apple realized its standard malicious compliance playbook won't fly this time, so now they're trying to sway public opinion by not rolling out this feature in the EU. It won't work. They're just going to lose market share and will have to backtrack when they do. Tech regulation doing its job.

What's excellent about it is that almost all exercises do not just include the problem statement, but also an explanation of Elixir syntax and standard libraries. There's also a ton of resources to in-depth resources. And there are extensive dependencies configured between exercises so you learn everything in a gradual way.

So all in all, a lot of love and effort has been poured into the Elixir track specifically.

The past month I have been going through the Elixir exercism.io track https://exercism.org/tracks/elixir

It is really excellent!

Why use an AI slop image in an article that complains about AI?

Pretty sure Java didn’t slop code its APIs in 1998.

New comment by dzogchen in "Remix 3 Beta Preview"

dzogchen — Tue, 05 May 2026 07:28:44 +0000

Remix v3 uses TypeScript.

The philosophy is to not rely on heavyweight bundlers too much but to stay closer to the web platform. They don’t invent their own bundler, from what I can tell they are using esbuild.

And it is not that hard to imagine a better UI framework than React…

> And for what?

One benefit they mention is that staying closer to web APIs makes it more future proof. I believe it. React does not even ship an ESM build. It has given up trying to keep up and expects everyone to just bend over backwards to adapt to its sprawling, aging codebase.

I think this may not even be possible because Apple does not give access to the Metal graphics API on Apple Watch to third-party developers.

The best Kanban board is a physical one. You are also not going to be able to put 200 items on it.

That’s a feature, not a bug.

What are you glad about exactly? This seems to be another big bang rewrite with LLMs. Fun but extremely unlikely to go anywhere.
