  • The Hunt For The Perfect Laptop Continues

    Jump

  • i completely understand. as a Rust developer that uses Neovim, i have some hills like that too. and if i was more of an OS dev and/or had the time i might be interested to help improve the platform. my last attempt was a Thinkpad, but i had to have an external mouse for that thing, the fans were causing me to fail stealth checks, and the battery was basically a UPS.

  • The Hunt For The Perfect Laptop Continues

    Jump

  • i know a laptop that’s amazing in almost every aspect except that it doesn’t run Linux. the Macbook Pro. to me there’s barely any real comparison to be made unless Linux or Windows or the keyboard layout is a hill worth dying on to you.

    i have servers and my gaming PC on Linux, but i wouldn’t trade my Macbook with its unified memory, incredible battery life, best in class touchpad, and top notch screen for anything else. Windows is dying, and chip designers (outside of Apple) seem more interested in cashing in on AI than providing a user experience. i was excited to see what Qualcomm would do, but it doesn’t seem like OEMs or Windows are particularly interested in supporting that platform as a next leap forward, while Intel is bleeding on the side of the road and AMD is constantly side-eyeing Nvidia. i think it would be peak irony for Nvidia to come out of left field with a desktop class ARM processor that’s Linux native, but that’s a pipe dream. what the ecosystem needs is a real competitor to Apple that is more focused on desktop machines than enterprise contracts. maybe RISC-V Frameworks will break out in a meaningful way. but it just seems like anything else these days in a compromise based on some biased preference or moral judgement.

    anyway all that said i’m glad there’s an ecosystem of people who are stubborn enough to work on this platform. i have my own stubbornness, but i just don’t have the motivation to apply it here

  • Patterns for Modeling Overlapping Variant Data in Rust

  • one that i’ve used in the past but isn’t mentioned here is type state based. when developing a file upload service i have a File struct with different states that implement FileState, ie struct File<TState: FileState>. Uploading, Staged, and Committed. Uploading contains a buffer and some block IDs, Staged has no buffer but includes the block IDs, and Committed is just a marker. they can have different methods based on their type state like impl File<Uploading>. this gives us the type safety of, for example, not allowing a partially uploaded file to be committed, while still sharing some state like ID, etc.

  • this is why i moved from Arch to NixOS. now i know what system packages are installed and can even leave comments in the config to remind myself what the heck cyme does, for instance

  • Linus Torvalds and Bill Gates Meet for the First Time Ever

    Jump

  • without checking, Gates’ wealth is probably tied up in a lot of MS stock, and he could probably walk into the office and ask the intern to get him a coffee. but yeah i think mostly retired.

    Linus is still active is maintaining the Linux kernel.

    and yes, this is fluff, not some kind of summit

  • SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data

    Jump

  • ah that makes sense

  • Linus Torvalds & Bill Gates

    Jump

  • eh Bill doesn’t really pull any levers at MS these days, and Linus already got the moral victory of the Linux kernel running on Windows and basically powering their entire cloud business.

  • SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data

    Jump

  • fuckin weird that an extension would inject invalid JSON into an API payload. if you’re gonna make a shady plugin at least test it lol

    anyway, if that’s truly the issue i’d be worried about what my extensions were doing, personally.

  • SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data

    Jump

  • i would start by seeing what the actually API response is. i haven’t used OpenWebUI, but to me this looks like some kind of error response from the server. you could use an API tester like Bruno. also check your Ollama logs to see if it’s getting the request and any other output there.

    Browser Alternatives to Chrome

    Jump

  • if you really want to stick it to Google you have to go for Firefox or something derived from it. Chromium gives Google a ton of leverage to push features to all of their downstreams. not sure what engine these are using, but i also prefer to use Firefox because it’s open source. if these were open source you could easily see which engine they’re using.

  • macOS 26 introduces the Containerization Framework: "enables developers to create, download, or run Linux container images directly on Mac"

    Jump

  • pretty scant on details. what is this doing for me that Podman or Containerd aren’t? “oPtIMizeD fOR aPPlE SiLICon” is fluff

  • Google quietly paused the rollout of its AI-powered ‘Ask Photos’ search feature

    Jump

  • it’s so much worse than the normal search. i would search for “dog” or “pasta” or “house” and get a pretty good result, but this conversational shit is just plain worse. and the “conversational” aspect is useless

  • pretty common misconception about how “AI” works. models aren’t constantly learning. their weights are frozen before deployment. they can infer from context quite a bit, but they won’t meaningfully change without human intervention (for now)

  • is there such a thing as “legitimate criticism” against an entire race of people? this writer is bonkers, and you can tell from the intro. seems like the actual content of the post was buried beneath the first paragraph where a rare few would find it. maybe it was wrong or illegal to fire this guy for being a racist asshole (being a state funded org or something?), but couching it in this narrative of “cancel culture” and “a violation of the first amendment” has fashy vibes to me. institutions should be allowed to control the narrative set by their employees. i understand that as part of my company my words reflect on them, and it’s up to their discretion whether they want to continue to associate with me based on the things i say. you have every right to say racist shit on your favorite fascist-owned platform, but everyone else has the right to tell you to fuck off.

    also big downvote for posting this in a technology community

  • What is the best way to create an android app in 2025?

    Jump

  • it’s just a lot of complexity, especially if you’re targeting only Android. it’s single threaded and not native to the platform. you’ll be behind on platform versions and have to find shims for everything. you’ll run into weird issues for which the fixes are not supported by the native platform. the more layers you put in between you and the native runtime, the more things can go wrong

  • What is the best way to create an android app in 2025?

    Jump

  • Android Studio and Jetpack Compose is going to be the path of least resistance, but i’d need to hear more requirements to make a real recommendation (besides try to avoid React Native unless you have a really good reason)
