LMFAO, you can't even open this so called "web app" on an iPhone. It will just send you to the app. If you uninstall the native app, then open the link, it will send you to the App Store.
Even on Android, you can't install it. Adding to home screen just creates a regular bookmark.
This is not a web app. It's a website.
A website that doesn't run on iOS.

For people asking what is it about, it's about #Python Steering Council (if I'm not mangling the title) suspending a core developer. Search around if you're really interested, but really, don't. It's not a nice story.

Because the normal Internet is dying (for many reasons), I'm getting a lot of information from YouTube these days. It kinda works, but it bears reminding myself once in a while just how inefficient it really is: a video about "my favorite way of focusing Fujifilm cameras" should not be 40 minutes long.

Trying to resist from posting anything about the current shit show in #python land is really hard, given what people are boosting into my stream. The only reason that's holding me back is that nobody is listening to anyone, so it's going to be in vain. I wish there'd be a tag to filter it out.

Should you use CRA? Not even once.
This has always been true, but only in the last couple of years have its creators acknowledged as much. And yet, they're pulling the same shit Facebook pulled when they failed to signpost to the community the scale of infrastructure necessary to keep their baroque JS in check.
Lies by omission are still material.

A point I buried in a footnote last week, but should probably draw out:
We know that frontend is wallowing in irresponsiblity because regretted approaches continue to spread (e.g., CRA, "CSS-in-JS", etc.) *even when their creators disavow them*. Why? Because those "leaders" do not put warning signs on their abandonware. They do not do the right thing and strongly recommend that users avoid those systems.
Don't believe me? Check out CRA's home page:

This tracks: years ago I saw a CS report on the prevalence of programming bugs in Excel spreadsheets that found about the same number of bugs per LoC-equivalent as in Visual BASIC written by low-proficiency programmers. Spreadsheets encourage spaghetti code and opaque variable naming: meanwhile spreadsheet debugging tools are stuck in the stone age (i.e. 1970s). The defect rate goes down in organizations where spreadsheets are developed by the IT department, not MBAs …

Hmm. You’re going to piss off a lot of customers, Starbucks, if this is now a thing.

I maintain an Android app that doesn't get any new features. I still have to keep upgrading it once in a while. The amount of deprecations I have to deal with is crazy. It takes a day each time I touch the app to just get it working with the latest Android Studio. I am not even fixing any bugs or adding features. All this running just to stay in the same place.
Now ask me if I will consider using cloud platform services from the same company that's responsible for Android.

Google adopts @cryspen's formally verified libcrux Rust implementations for ML-KEM and post-quantum algorithms.
“These implementations will be AVX2-optimized, verified in F* and translated into C." for use by Google, and beyond.
Congrats @franziskus & team!
