I usually include a destkop/JVM client in Compose Multiplatform projects I work on as I think faster to iterate on. Just realised that also very useful to have a Kotlin/Wasm based client as Claude is able to drive it faster using following plugin code.claude.com/docs/en/chrome
Use Claude Code with Chrome - Claude Code Docs
Connect Claude Code to your Chrome browser to test web apps, debug with console logs, automate form filling, and extract data from web pages.

We need a law that says DEADLY HEATWAVE stories must be accompanied by a photograph of the toll - e.g. a massive queue at an ER department - not people supposedly enjoying the sun at a park or the beach. (This one not even contemporaneous, but pulled from stock photos!)
I applaud the change to running it twice, but won't the Kenyans struggle on a second consecutive day. Chance for someone else to win on Sunday?

Vibe coding broke people's brains because they had a bad understanding of the software design process. The pop culture model goes something like this: start out with a sketch and then render that same idea in progressively finer detail. So when tools could "skip" to high detail, people went WOW.
i was looking at the map because of the war stuff and was surprised to find Russia is smaller than both of its neighbors, lithuania and poland. for some reason i assumed it was really big
What happens to Square / Block Android OSS projects post layoffs? Let's start with some context OSS at Square is mostly a happy accident. Jack hired Bob, who's job was attracking world class engineers, and he did that through talks & OSS.
