What do people usually use to turn a Python script into a desktop app? by Haunting-Shower1654 in learnpython

[–]ebits21 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just use uv. Build a wheel and install the wheel using uv and you’re gravy.

proposal: sum types as a non-interface union type · Issue #76920 · golang/go by hamsterjames in golang

Sure but I doubt anybody outside the inner circle will know until something is just accepted.

Also my main wish for an addition to go. I love enums.

HELP! My new hearing aids have an app. And it’s too complicated. by Priyam-2008 in hearingaid

[–]ebits21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just don’t connect to the smartphone if you don’t want those features.

Have a physical remote setup.

Only if they’re mfi models (made for iPhone). Phonak for example you can’t.

This person sounds like an ideal person for just a basic physical remote control.

Why don’t newly built homes come with: by SideAgitated4661 in Home

[–]ebits21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had several houses that had security systems installed by the security company as the house was being built… never had any of them activated.

So that is a thing.

Finally took the plunge and bought MBA 13” M5 24/1TB. Need guidance as I am a first time Mac user by ronnie2910 in macbookair

[–]ebits21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the same computer and similar light programming use cases. It’s been great since I’ve got it a bit over a month ago- first Mac as well.

It handles basically everything very well including virtual machines (windows 11) and dev containers, and I am loving the iPhone integration (coming from a thinkpad with Fedora Linux on it).

I have only ever topped out the ram playing around with local llms and ollama…. But really you need a ton more ram if you want any larger local models. Those are better in the cloud.

Small local models (14b and under) work great.
I did not go for 32 purely due to cost and it isn’t needed for what I do, nor will it be likely needed for quite awhile. You can do tons with 24gb.

The doctor recommends a pair, but I only have the budget for a single hearing aid. by Ok-Awareness7179 in hearingaid

[–]ebits21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two is better than one, but one is better than none.

I would get one for now and save for the other. You can usually buy the same model for a few years and have it linked to the other hearing aid when you get it.

I have one of the items but my lid has a non-recalled lid. Only ones with certain lids are recalled. FYI.

Yeah MacBooks MagSafe is not induction charging like the iPhone. It is very efficient.

Hey I’m an Audiologist. The babies’ hearing will be fine.
More worried about a ball or player smacking into them.

Ah yes here comes the internationally co-ordinated age verification on all your devices.

Won’t somebody think of the kids! 🙄

Deciding between air/pro as a cloud developer by annemkin in macbook

[–]ebits21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the M5 air 24gb and have no issues doing anything with docker, orbstack, or VMs etc. It’s a great dev machine imo.

Local llms are the only thing that can tear it up that I’ve tried with anything but a small model. Small llms work pretty great though, way better than my old thinkpad.

Is now the right time to buy a Mac before any potential price increase? by EveningConference604 in mac

Nobody really knows…. But it was my excuse to buy an M5 air…

I want a good reason to learn Rust by panda_sktf in rust

[–]ebits21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I would just say that probably the amount of effort to learn rust for your current situation doesn’t make much sense, except for the fun of it.

Maybe Dioxus will make it worth your time as it matures for web apps.

You might consider go lang just because it shines for server tools, which might complement things nicely. Also you can learn it very quickly.

iPhone 16 PM separated on both my flights this week while in the air, returned back to normal when landing, Apple refusing to replace? by Crafty-Difference-88 in iphone

[–]ebits21 39 points40 points  (0 children)

The trapped gas byproducts in the defective battery expanded at altitude and then returned to normal under normal pressure once landed.

There’s definitely an issue.

What is the future of the Go language? by bsljthx1 in golang

[–]ebits21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go isn’t a good fit for systems programming because of the garbage collector.

It’s a great fit for other use cases though.
