They're just accepting it. It shows in the quality of their products also. They ship a lot of features in Claude Code for example but it is clear that is a vibe-coded mess.

How many users does your app have? Do you make any revenue?

This blog post is not very informative. How did they prompt GPT4 to explain the neuron's behavior?

One area where fish is excellent is IMO interactive shell scripting. No more case..esac and friends. Fish adopts a python-like syntax that makes it ridiculously easy to write loops fast in the terminal.

You can use the swipe functionality of the gboard even with the open source android keyboard provided you are rooted. It's just a library file that you have to install.

I wish we had the option to use web apps instead for native apps for everything. As much as I hate modern web, I can't deny that not only are web apps cross platform, they also offer better privacy.

Well if you find it let me know. Also normal wheel scrolling

I agree with you. I mostly just read the title and then the comments, especially if I know a thing or two about the subject.

Partially off topic but I personally use the FOSS android app "Materialistic" to access HN. It offers a much better comment navigation experience than ynewscombinator.

ASGI is meant to be used to enable asynchronous Python code. I guess there are many I/O bound server applications that can benefit from it.

I believe that some recent Python version has added (optional) type annotation support. I haven't ever used it though.

I can't understand why you are mentioning awk. Cut or choose cannot be compared to awk, awk is a programming language.

Also I don't think that it's so much easier to use than cut. On the other hand every *nix system has cut so if you make scripts with it they are portable.

So you're forced to learn a new language? I was obliged to write code for a university project in Kotlin instead of Java.

Most of the code was already written in Java. So I just used the tool to convert to Kotlin. Then I tried to infer how Kotlin works based on the generated code to write the rest. I don't feel proud about that project.

It seems to me at this point that UI/UX developers just refuse to learn low level languages. Qt applications for example are extremely fast and cross platform.
