Yes, and they have features like default soft delete with hard delete after x days that makes it a very compelling backup choice (guard against malware and mistakes). I'm a satisfied customer.

I started a project on Expo recently and my god, a thousand dependencies later, it was running.

I'm using it on a project now and have been very impressed. It really lives up to its goal of getting out of the way and automating the tedium. I think about my Postgresql schema, row level security, and let the magic give me a GQL API with websockets too.

That would be very cool, get an upgraded model every couple of months. Maybe PCIe form factor.

> separate models for /plan and /build

I had not considered that, seems like a great solution for local models that may be more resource-constrained.

I think I like coding models that know a lot about the world. They can disambiguate my requirements and build better products.

Samsung had a hidden hospitality menu, or hotel mode, search for how to access it for your model. You can have it go right to an input on power on.

I'm so glad that there's room for this kind of investigative journalism in this day and age. Kudos!

In my senior year of college two decades ago, I needed one or two credit hours to finish up, and I signed up for a once per week software patents (as in, intellectual property, I thought) course. It turned out to be a patterns course taught by none other than Ralph Johnson and the text was his famous Gang of Four Design Patterns book. Happy accident, it turned out to be among the most professionally useful courses I ever took.

I'm with you, a little pogo-pin connector with all the charging circuitry in the external dongle would add, I don't know, ten dollars to the BOM. Very cool product but I won't buy a gadget I know I'd dispose in two years.

New comment by noveltyaccount in "Copenhagenize Index 2025: The Global Ranking of Bicycle-Friendly Cities"

In Copenhagen, the vast majority of people park their bikes on the street using only a cafe lock (frame mounted, immobilizes the rear wheel). The bikes are generally nothing special, old rusty junkers, with one or three gears. E-bikes flatten terrain but also you need an indoor place to store it and they become a magnet for theft. A cheap bike you can ride to the Metro and leave in the elements is versatile in a way e-bikes are not. (I say all this as a massive e-bike fan living in a very hilly US city who recently visited Copenhagen and adored its bike culture.)

Author explains some anti patterns with too much fat, so I'd guess baked or boiled with a dallop of butter or oil and little salt is a good approach.

.NET being so batteries-included is one of its best features. And when vulnerabilities do creep in, it's nice to know that Microsoft will fix it rather than hoping a random open source project will.

Can this compiler be used outside of Valdi? TS to native AOT sounds incredible.

It's still crazy to me that they put an M5 chip in this thing, but to run Mac apps you need a Mac. Just let the face computer be a computer!

Maui Blazor Hybrid has a cool model where the HTML UI binds to native code (not WASM) for mobile and desktop. That is the closest you can get to Tauri-like. If you want to run that same app in a browser, then it'll use Blazor with WASM.
