How as a shopper would you ever reliably know the price of anything you buy if the price can change between picking it up and taking it to the checkout?
It’s one thing if they change prices daily before the store opens, but mid shopping?
Kinda defeats the purpose of doing it private and local.
I wouldn’t trust any claims a 3rd party service makes with regards to being private.
I tried doing a dual boot to Mint awhile back, I did the mint backup at the start like it suggests, changed some things, broke it, restored from the backup thinking it was great id already made one, and broke the WHOLE pc.
I had to pull the battery on the BIOS to get it to go beyond a black screen when turning on.
It was terrible.
It seem to recall at the time recommendations about not doing dual boot, and if you wanted to dual boot, remove the main OS drive when you install Linux. Then put it back in.
I feel like something like https://www.storj.io/ is on the path to what we would want/need?
There might be some additional requirements for a true CDN to ensure data is closer to where it’s needed and in as many regions as needed though with the right amount of bandwidth. The data gets stored all over the place, but that doesn’t mean its optimal. But they do seem to claim it’s faster on their website…
Edit: For those not wanting to click, TLDR is they use excess storage around the world and make it accessible anywhere, and safe from failures. People with excess storage can join the network if they have enough storage/bandwidth and pass some tests. Their API is S3 compatible.
The best deals you usually only get 2 or 3 toppings as well.
I can make a nice pizza with 3, but 2 often feels lacking.
I don’t see him mentioning low level audio performance is a requirement. And he listed flutter as something he had considered.
Can you not process audio in the JVM?
Edit: targeting JVM he could also use the JNI and do the low level stuff in c++ if needed. I don’t know how that’d cross to iOS but it’d work on all 4 other platforms.
Edit: And he doesn’t need to target mobile either, he can just target the JVM, write it in Kotlin + Compose and if needed write native code if he needs more performance.
You can try Kotlin Compose Multiplatform.
It can target JVM (windows, Linux, Mac) and then work on iOS and Android.
Android and JVM are stable. IOS is alpha and works well. Should be beta this year.
WASM support is coming as well but is experimental.
You can do as much multiplatform as you want and do as much platform specific as you want.
Compose itself is a declarative UI framework. Your UI is code.
Edit: You do require a Windows, Linux, and Mac machine to build the executables for each desktop JVM app, as well as a Mac for an iOS app. Android you can build on any of them.
I’d greatly appreciate a “requires account” on app stores.
Looks like Lifeograph has a 3.0 release candiate which is brand new last month. Maybe they’ve have made things simpler and added a better theme?
Just saw your edit. I think I got a better idea of what you meant now with what PalmOS had. Such a shame about requiring an account to use the apps that are available. I get why they might do it if you want to share data across devices / platforms, but if you only want it locally and you’re okay with that, they should let you make that choice, especially for desktop apps.
So what do you really want when you say journaling your peogess.
Is that something like
Recurring Fitness Run 5k 2 times a week.
As you check it off for number one, it prompts you to leave a note about it? And maybe you can see all your notes by category or chronologically?
Or is the journaling a completely separate thing? I can see how the two might not be done as separate things as you’re really getting into 2 wholly different apps.
How can there not be a good todo app???
Is it just that there’s no Linux one but there is mobile?
Maybe with Kotlin Multiplatform someone will get an existing mobile one running on Linux as that would be useful.
I can’t imagine it’d be too hard given a todo app doesn’t need a lot of Android specific functionality. I’m in the middle of converting my app to target desktop/ios/android and its been going very well and the tooling is improving rapidly.
That or someone might write a nice one as a starter project as Multiplatform from the start to learn it?
What about finding someone like this and then blackmailing them?
That would be cheaper
I imagine that could get pretty dystopian pretty quickly.
Permanently block the CPU from the internet through a shared ISP ban list?
Whaaaaat?!?!?!?!?
I honestly hadn’t looked into it and thought it was some sort of secure key management for any crypto process?
Maybe it is as well, but fuck hardware banning.
Java also made it very accessible to the vast majority of existing Java developers.
Way more Java developers than Objective C developers at the time.
I wasn’t a fan of learning Objective C when I started learning just as swift was coming out but too new to use.
Did they charge you $64.77 for the cup some water came in, and $78.12 for the water itself?
What I can’t accept is the apps trying to say I should tip 15% on the delivery total before discounts, for a delivery not even done by the restaurant, so it’s not like it’s also shared with the cooks.
I’ll tip, but fuck that bullshit. $50 in a bag is the same as $20 in a bag.
Would something like that not be possible as a private company, essentially dissolve and make another? (Not just rename it)
Of course for that to work at all, all the employees would have had to sign new contracts.
And all of this please probably would have had to happen at purchase time (edit)
Probably still not possible even then if everything was done perfectly.
IF you’re correct, then hasbro would just force them to fix it, and it’d become a never ending game of whack a mole, where probably every update has to break existing mods based on the hack to further disuade people.
