myko··on What Zig felt like, coming from Rust
I haven't heard of those, but I've used Zig and Rust for some projects

What's the pitch?

myko··on What Zig felt like, coming from Rust
> One caveat worth stating up front

It would be nice if people would note that their posts are AI generated, and put that in the title here to make it easier to ignore

myko··on The Google Play app review process now regularly takes longer than a week
Google's review is complete horseshit. It has been darkly funny to watch them try to compete with Apple by adding strict review (way stricter than Apple's) and still terrible applications make it in while legitimate ones have trouble.

Just go back to the way it was before, and scan the apps with static analysis tools. This security theater is stupid and always was (for Apple and Google).

myko··on XCancel service is suspended until further notice
not really, no
myko··on People who can't picture anything are rewriting the science of imagination
I can't see pictures in my mind or hear anything. Feels very weird to know that it isn't standard for folks to be like me.
myko··on Dario, Please
There is no moat with this stuff. There's no reason to be concerned about being leapfrogged.
myko··on XCancel service is suspended until further notice
my understanding is twitter is primarily bots at this point

i'm surprised any human is still there

myko··on Why is Google still serving dodgy ads?
truly Google's on fault. Their results have been shit for at least 2 years now
myko··on AI is not a normal technology
literally the only thing i want out of ai ^^^^

that said, it is fun generating code with them

myko··on Shopify is moving from React Native back to Swift and Kotlin
It is both. You want the application to look correct on the platform the user is on, i.e. Liquid Glass on iOS and Material on Android.
myko··on Shopify is moving from React Native back to Swift and Kotlin
Doesn't seem like a grey area at all, pretty clear it is against the policy. Just a ridiculous policy and hard to enforce.
myko··on Shopify is moving from React Native back to Swift and Kotlin
Yeah they do say that but as someone who has worked on native apps / RN for most of my career I think that is bullshit. They're not going to come out with a mea culpa owning that, this is as close as it gets.
myko··on Shopify is moving from React Native back to Swift and Kotlin
and still accurate in its conclusion, probably moreso today
myko··on Shopify is moving from React Native back to Swift and Kotlin
I would if it were based on the RN version. RN is kind of okay on iOS, but really shitty on Android. Would be difficult to be _worse_.

That said, I do recommend reading the code the LLM produces whether you understand the language or not. What better time to learn?

myko··on DeepSeek v4.1 Flash
It is ridiculous on its face and the implications are awful: if the model were sentient, it would be a slave. Good thing it isn't sentient.
myko··on Uber shuts operations in Nigeria and Uganda with immediate effect
I get it, it's a weird time. I recommend not giving into the idiocy of the current US admin.
myko··on Protecting Engineers' Skills in the AI Era
> The causal story is still contested, and honesty requires saying so.

This slop is embarrassing

myko··on Uber shuts operations in Nigeria and Uganda with immediate effect
> US DoW

To be clear, it is the DoD - Department of Defense

myko··on Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1
> That sounds like a great thing to do

I agree it _sounds like a great thing to do_ but the comments Claude creates make me want to never read code again. They're so obtuse and often completely pointless.

myko··on Wiped out: US faces surging toilet paper prices amid trade war with Canada
Who knew destroying the federal government would have knock-on consequences
myko··on Meta reaches $17B settlement over social media harms to children
100%, Shorts are an abomination.
myko··on Nitter and XCancel receive cease and desist notices
Twitter is just bots and nazis today, not really worth trying to save
myko··on Canada will match US tariffs 'dollar for dollar' as trade talks break down
True, though the prudent move would be to stop investing in the US entirely
myko··on Canada will match US tariffs 'dollar for dollar' as trade talks break down
If the goal of a presidency was to destroy the country one could not do a better job than trump.
myko··on Japan tried to build an operating system for the world, the US intervened
No, the sensible thing to do would have been to enforce a no fly zone and tell Putin to get the fuck out. This is horrific and downplaying Russia's invasion is abhorrent.
myko··on The Lost Treasure of Sid Meier's Pirates
Was really hopeful https://www.pcworld.com/article/457418/black-annex-is-the-be... would come out. Followed it since the guy posted about it on SomethingAwful a long time ago. No idea what's up with it or him today.

Very much Syndicate vibes

myko··on Strait of Hormuz Live Traffic Tracking
This idiot is now suggesting the US annex the strait: https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/trump-ll-declar...

What a fallen nation

myko··on How Claude marks AI-generated content
So frustrating to use. And the comments generated by Claude today are unreadable garbage.
myko··on Nashville uses eminent domain to block data center near zoo
beginning? the end of empire became obvious with the election of trump, but probably started with missteps in the 80s
myko··on Apple defeats liability for not scanning iCloud for CSAM
I'm truly not missing this, it is the original intent of #2A. Activist judges misinterpreting it after the fact does not change that, neither does Congress later passing laws to "clarify" away the original intent.
