Episode with John Carmack. I've really enjoyed his ideas on running things under debugger at first by default and on collection size assertions. These are probably not always practical in terms of Android dev, but I think they're nice anyway.

A bunch of funny and clever prompts for ChatGPT. I've really enjoyed "Act as ‘Character’ from ‘Movie/Book/Anything’". It doesn't really know all the nuances of a fictional universe, however. "Act as <position> Interviewer" was really boring, on the other hand. I wouldn't like to be interviewed this way.

For fans: the making of Dune II - a legendary game, one of the 1st RTSs. I really enjoy it on Miyoo Mini from time to time :)

I'm a huge fan of BOTW, and in this video my man did a great analysis of how modern rendering and lightning work, and performed a hell of an investigation of a known glitch. Really impressive, highly recommend to check it out!
Let's thank @Istima for the link

Wow, this looks nice! AdbOrc - a tool that allows you to build a virtual device farm of a sort with your fellow devs. Usecase: there's a bug that is only reproducible on QA's device and you can't access it physically, they share access through this thing, you connect and do your little nasty thing.

YAML is a truly broken poor thing. You'll find some of its quirks in this post. Highly recommend to check it out. I'm surprised that all of this still works somehow.

#yaml #json #format

Awesome talk by JSON discoverer. How it all started, who were the competitors, and so on. A bunch of funny stories included. You won't regret watching.

First, they tell you that reading assembly is easy. Then they tell you that
- RAX register is 64 bits
- EAX is lower 32 bits of RAX
- AX is lower 16 bits of RAX
- AL is lower 8 bits of RAX
- AH is higher 8 bits of AX
- Writing to them works as expected, but writing to EAX will zero out the rest of RAX
- There are a bunch of different registers, e.g. RAX, RCX, RDX, RBX. Yep, not ABCD, but ACDB. It's the order they're stored in

Just for the sake of laugh: WTFJS talk about funny JS quirks.

Two nice posts from Lyft on how to track CPU and memory consumption in production.

Old (ancient even) talk by Vitalik Buterin on game theory, value of things and how it all connects with blockchain. No bullshit, so to speak.

I know that many of you do stuff like Advent of Code. Many others (me, for example) are too busy lazy for this stuff. Well, Peter Norvig (Research Director at Google) is not that case, so he has this cool repo full of ipynb's with problems, solutions, nice graphs and illustrations. And you'll find much more than just AoC there!

GitHub has shown their coding-with-voice solution on top of copilot. Check out the video, looks interesting!

App cloning. It seems that this strange yet interesting feature can make its way into Android 14. It allows you to have several profiles in a single app, even if the app itself doesn't allow this.

A high-level overview post from Square about the results of their work on Gradle build performance and developer experience in general.

I needed something weird - to fork and modify TLS lib. During research I stumbled upon this nice site: comprehensive description of all the records for TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 client and server send to each other

I often see copyright year in source code or LICENSE files. I've always wondered, what's the rule for this thing? Should I keep it up-to-date? Can I omit it? Thankfully, the answer's found me all by itself. For code it doesn't really matter. You can safely omit it.

Yet another collection of ChatGPT prompts. There are some pearls in it for sure, but I don't quite get why so many prompts in different categories start with "Write a marketing campaign outline using..."

Usually we don't need stuff like that, but it may be tedious to google it when we do. Awesome macOS Command Line: a bunch of useful commands and scripts to take more control of the system when it's needed.

I believe these posts should be read by those who's being interviewed and by those who is interviewing:
- Tech questions
- Company culture questions
+ Also don't miss HN discussions
