hofo··on Vibecoding isn't as fun as writing code by hand

Why would the money go anywhere other than the same place it went when the price was lower?

As opposed to what, a gift from aliens?

…but needs a specially engineered piece of metal…
hofo··on US Bill Mandates On-Device Age Verification
Not a mandate at this point. The bill was only introduced on April 13th.
hofo··on Škoda DuoBell: A bicycle bell that penetrates noise-cancelling headphones
I thought the use case would be for cyclists to alert runners with NC headphones that the cyclist is about to pass them
hofo··on Grief and the AI split
There’s a similar divide in the woodworking community between people that use CNC and the like to mill and shape wood vs those that use hand and power tools.
hofo··on NASA Will Let Its Astronauts Bring iPhones to the Moon
I assume they’ll be in Airplane mode?
hofo··on Google experts tell the US DOJ selling its ad tech business would be impossible

Mmm I really think my work day has enough pipe dreams already

How is this relevant to the app?
hofo··on Personal data storage is an idea whose time has come
They either exercise intellectual curiosity through Google and YouTube, or they wait until someone decides it’s worth making a commercial offering.

hofo··on A media company demanded a license fee for an Open Graph image I used
The use of opengraph doesn’t change the usage rights on the content that the opengraph tag refers to

hofo··on They used Xenon to climb Everest in days – is it the future of mountaineering?
Only the people that have been there have seen it. Why should experiences not be repeatable? Humanity doesn’t share a to-do list; you doing something doesn’t give me those experiences. If you want to pivot to the wear-and-tear or how people aren’t adhering to leave-no-trace that’s fine but a different argument
hofo··on I can’t understand Apple’s Critical Alert policy (2023)
Nah it’s for apps like those that monitor a user’s continuous glucose meter. In addition to simple monitoring they alert the user when the reading is on the extreme ends of a safety range. The app for Abbott’s Freestyle Libre requires the setting to be enabled and will not allow the use of the app without it enabled. I suspect that’s what Apple means in their rejection. I can turn it off but the app won’t work without it.

I assume that the notion of adulterated honey is new to you and that you’re not in the industry. This has been an issue for decades, it’s nothing new. There are commercial honey producers and packers that are clean but the easiest and surest way to avoid fake honey is to buy local.
