Thanks for writing that up. Is my understanding right that you’re just not going to make an android version of the new app that you made for SwiftUI?
I’m working on some apps with my kids and we all have iOS so hadn’t planned on making android versions.

I tried to treat it like SEO because if my idea gets to someone and they ask for sources, I want it listed.
I don’t monetize my output so I don’t care if I get dem clickz

I have a laptop screen closer to me and a larger monitor above and behind it. I think focusing on different depths is good even though it’s only about 6” (20% of total distance)

I’m lucky I had time to sit with her and work on things because I could quickly identify that she wasn’t bad or dumb or disrespectful. She was suffering and attempting and failing to focus.
If I was exhausted from a tough job or absent due to traveling or commuting, it would have been different.

I had been sitting with her a few nights per week to work through phonics lessons and it was a lot of crying and waiting and reminders to focus. Her letters were crazy sizes because learning to read is boring.
After the magic pills, we finished her 2nd and 3rd grade English stuff in a few months.

My kids are in a rural but nice for the stage school and at 7, and 8 my daughter couldn’t read. She was too adhd to focus. The kindly teachers kept answering the ADHD survey politely so they withheld medication for 2 years. Finally we bulldozed them and got it done. Within 2 months she was fine.

I liked the distilled version of the downturn indicators without the 7 big tech bubble stocks and they aren’t down but they aren’t up…. So like is flat a recession? Not really.
But will the bubble popping hit our 401ks that are obliged to be stock pumping mechanisms? Yes really.

I’m pretty good at avoiding it but I see a lot of the impulse to intervene and prevent the kid from adapting and also become the antagonist in the situation.
Let them fall off the chair after they disregard the guidance.
Berating them about disobedience is just gonna cause lonely holidays later.

There’s an interesting coordination cost with the agents.
I typically write out an idea and the extra 20 minutes it takes to write it down also irons out a lot of roughness my brain was ignoring.
Then let the agent do the code while I’m folding laundry. Then I check the PR deployment and merge.

We differentiated them by size.
“3 and a half inch floppy” was the name for that one. If you take the shell off, it’s a floppy disc.
The “5 and a quarter inch floppy” was in a softer outer shell but the interior disk was the same floppy material.

The security meme was don’t roll your own auth. I think we are at the point where just don’t do it at all. It’s not gonna do what you think it’s doing and it’s gonna do what you don’t expect.

I saw this in 2016 when I didn’t have time for gaming so used my video card to make Ethereum. It was never actually worth it at the time to upgrade or get more GPUs but it was after 6 months.
The crypto grifter logic is holding true for AI. It’s obviously not a winner-take-all market. This is dumb

They’re not raising 2.3x their revenue. Annualized revenue is just a random month * 12 so these companies all pick the month they landed several deals and “annualize” that. The rest of the months are way less.
So if 1b / 12 is 83 million. That’s their best month ever? So maybe they’re at 300m ARR.

I assume that’s how Tom Clancy wrote so many books. He was just supposed to finish one but kept thinking of ideas and tossing them at ghost writers.

What they’ve done is actually unabashedly usher in authoritarian apologia and anti-trans “question-asking” that is unforgivable. Dark patterns are the tacky decor at the death camp.
