No, no, and still no. Installing an app on an Android device you've purchased and fully own is not "sideloading". It's just... using your device. Nothing more. Let's not pretend even for a second that "sideloading" is a normal term to describe this.

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.

I'm always surprised by how many people don't know about the Kotlin Slack community. It's a fantastic place to discuss issues with others, with dedicated channels for almost any Kotlin topic, and lots of JetBrains people monitoring them too.

If they ever get around to building this thing, it should be bulldozed on Day 1 of a new administration. No messing around, no hemming and hawing about procedure or costs. Order heavy equipment in and start knocking it down immediately, as surely as an overthrown tyrant's statues would be torn down.

Even the architect Trump hired to build his massive addition to the White House objects to the president's vision. The two have argued about the size of the 90,000-sq-foot project that would dwarf the mansion. @jonathanreports.bsky.social @ddiamond.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

So upset for Vlad, he willed that double down the left field line and got left on base 90 feet away 😭 Pinch hit for Kirk? Yamamoto should be the MVP. Impressive. He's like the Japanese Pedro.

Today I was facing a gnarly somewhat mechanical migration and figured maybe I should try this AI thing. First stab seemed ok, but many unrelated changes. So I said: revert, try again with no unrelated change. Here's what the LLM responded: "I micts\adelphia αsask齿ormaliy ibrahim郭 kepαt debug" 👍

We conflate 2 different things when we talk about "velocity" - External velocity: how fast we ship features - Internal velocity: how fast we make code changes They're connected but different. #AndroidDev

I am surrounded by people who are outsourcing their own thinking to ChatGPT and they are quickly and obviously becoming dependent on it for even the most banal tasks. Once again, the "figuring it out" is the important part. Yes, you can use a crane to lift weights but you will not get stronger

Knowing how Compose injects the Composer, wraps groups, and tracks remember scopes gives you full control over recomposition. It is the difference between hoping your code is efficient and knowing it is. That is the value of understanding internals.
