What was offensive? Was it the use of Cloudflare? Or the way the import was written?

They probably order their coffee via HTTP, too.

Hasn’t griefing and trolling been a thing on the internet for a while? What makes this unique just because it’s AI instead of whatever else?

New comment by jadar in "Android CLI: Build Android apps 3x faster using any agent"

This is great. We also need a tool to expose source jars to agents so they don’t need to compress. There’s a lot of Compose overloads that Claude just guesses at. I built something internally but it needs polish and Claude really struggled with the deep Gradle integration.

I had an idea like this a year ago. Super interested how it goes if this is real. The problem right now is that it’s hard to get your hands on hardware in the first place.

> When using a custom kernel collection with Apple Silicon, there are some unfortunate downsides. The biggest being that streamlined OS updates are no longer available.

This might be a blessing in disguise.

Tart is an amazing tool, and I have been very grateful for it. There's almost no other way I've found to stand up ephemeral CI/CD macOS VMs for self-hosted Git forge solutions. I really hope this doesn't mean that Tart will eventually die the death of unmaintained projects (e.g. Realm post-Mongo-acquisition.)

Yes but most people are not dropping down to Metal support unless they're doing custom effects or developing a game engine. Most apps could be developed outside of Xcode just fine.

I suppose you would have to commit your node_modules, or otherwise cache your setup so that all prerequesite modules are built and ready to install without running post-install scripts?

It almost doesn't matter, because you can get pwned by a transitive dependency. If someone doesn't have the same scruples as you have, you're still at risk.

New comment by jadar in "Claude Code users hitting usage limits 'way faster than expected'"

Part of the issue is that they don't actually advertise what the token limit is. Just some vague, "this is 5x more than free, and 5x more than pro". They seem to be free to change the basis however they please, because most of us are more than happy to use what they give us at the discounted subscription pricing.

How much do you want to bet me that the credential was stolen during the previous LiteLLM incident? At what point are we going to have to stop using these package managers because it's not secure? I've got to admit, it's got me nervous to use Python or Node.js these days, but it's really a universal problem.

They are. They just are killed in utero instead of on the front lines.

Either god is me (secularism) or god is something outside me (Christianity). One is going to be better than the other. It matters which one. Everyone has an answer, and it affects your morals. Whether or not you are consistent brings you back to that same question: “who says?”

New comment by jadar in "Google ends its 30 percent app store fee and welcomes third-party app stores"

jadar — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 20:32:38 +0000

This is kind of a misleading title. While they "ended" the 30-percent cut, they are keeping a 20-percent cut.

I feel like this is a bit of a sinking ship. I suppose if you want to avoid known sources of slop then this works … but beyond that it’s a bit of a lost cause. It’s like sports betting — once it’s there then there’s no saying who is (ab)using it.

I was struck that it was full of assertions and backed up by nothing. I suppose his clawdbot could have written it.

New comment by jadar in "Oh My Zsh adds bloat"

I have been using omz for YEARS. I have practically grown up with it. I resent that I would have never noticed that it took several hundred milliseconds to load, if it were not for this discussion. I never felt the delay particularly unless I was in a very large Git repository — which is rare. On the bright side, now I know about `fish` and am learning there are some nice features I never had in ZSH (i.e. much more advanced autosuggest.) What I basically use omz for is 1) autocomplete, 2) git aliases, and 3) my beloved prompt. In about 30 minutes, Claude helped me port my prompt from ZSH, autocomplete comes OOB, and a cursory Google search shows someone has made a Fish plugin to satiate my Git alias muscle memory. I could leave Zsh/omz in the rear view mirror tomorrow — but for why? I never would have noticed before this discussion...
