Reminds me of Microsoft where Windows team doesn't acknowledge C#...

quick search shows that .pyf is some Python file (interface between Python and Fortran) so it was a joke I guess

Not useless.

You cannot solve a problem when you don't know you have a problem.

Which is difficult since smartphones are used as 2FA, and not every service has web interface, only mobile one (some banks, chats, dating, uber, etc..)

Maybe don't force how many days people should work. Force number of hours (32) and let people decide, how many days...

Because I don't care about that permission system. Server will run in some container or k8s anyway.

And node / bun development is much easier because of many many npm packages.

Seems that they released it only in some internal / alpha version.

Austria is also trying to block nuclear, at least in Czechia and Slovakia.

Necessary stuff (houses, healthcare, education) have outpaced CPI, and generally it is becoming more expensive.

Unnecessary stuff (electronics, appliances, other tech) did not, and generally it is becoming cheaper (Planned obsolescence is another topic though...)

But there is no fixed input-to-output mapping in current popuular LLMs.

New comment by spixy in "I won't download your app. The web version is a-ok"

spixy — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 21:36:41 +0000

Why do I prefer app:

- just click on the icon, no need to type to address bar or search in bookmarks list

- faster to load - no need to download JS/CSS, also my credentials are remembered so no need to login

- biometric login, no 2FA (finance apps, etc.)

- notifications and their customization (browsers only have on/off)

Why do I prefer mobile web:

- I need multiple instances (tabs) of the website

- I need to know URL of the specific page

comparing to Node, .NET is batteries included: built-in Linq vs needing lodash external package, built-in Decimal vs decimal.js package, built-in model validation vs class-validator & class-transformer packages, built-in CSRF/XSRF protection vs csrf-csrf package, I can go on for a while...

"You don't know what to say. That's fine."

Well if I don't know what to say, I either don't start a conversation or I can use some opener like "How are you?" and then end the conversation (because I don't know what to say). But then what is the point?
