Built an Apple Watch app that streams music from Plex. It’s more stable than Spotify and Apple Music and it’s been a blast running to my own music collection!

It would've been nice to credit the original designer and developer of this site. https://henryheffernan.com/

BMED2013 and it was still the same in my years. The culture has shifted a bit amongst professors though. After sophomore level classes I remember that professors will often just email you their textbook if you asked (a lot of times they’ll offer to “work it out”with you if you can’t afford the textbook).


Plus now you get access to Safari books, and you also have their online library, so virtually any books you may need are accessible for free.

(That's for the CS graduate program; not sure about others)


Even if the clients go closed source and forked, there's still the very serious issue of closed app ecosystems on iOS and Android. It's one thing to self-host a Vaultwarden instance, it's another entirely to pay Google and Apple $100 a year to publish your own app.


You’re probably also looking for that tool to be available unauthed. And yeah agreed. We do this at Diffbot and the test drive is the 2nd highest visited page.


This is a fantastic resource. The author only briefly covers library databases, but there's so much more in structured querying that could be worth covering.

For example, you can use Sparql to perform structured queries on Wikidata (a structured database version of Wikipedia) to get well beyond unstructured documents.

Here's every person in Wikibase that was born in NYC: https://query.wikidata.org/#%23Humans%20born%20in%20New%20Yo...


> You knew. And you signed off anyway. Because the alternative was losing the job, and the job was the mortgage, and the school fees, and the visa, and the version of yourself who'd fix it later once things stabilized.

I felt the pang in my bones reading this. All of us peons are just wading through this brave new world trying to do what we know is right but ultimately having no choice but to give in to life's needs.


This needs to be an Apple TV app!! Way more fun than watching fly by skyscrapers.


Get this man to Apple


I think many developers worth their salt will argue the same. Cloud is and has always been a shortcut to buying your own hardware. Local models will get better and smaller. Qwen3-coder-next runs on a Spark and is as capable as Sonnet 4.5. Bonsai released a 1-bit model yesterday.

I also like the freedom of not having to ration a daily allowance of tokens.


Qwen3-coder-next is way worse than Sonnet 4.5. Also, despite he lack of "coder" in the name Qwen3.5 is much better at coding than Qwen3-coder-next so you might want to check that out.


A Spark is still not cheap hardware though. It is only cost effective for heavy users (i am not one).


The ability to own your workflow is 10x when talking about indterminancy


The dilemma we're battling with here is the morality of avoiding most of your taxes if you can afford to hire the right people to manage your money.

Would it still be justified if we replaced "taxes" with "judgement in the afterlife"?
