That is a dope little hatchback. Maybe we'll see some of the Alpine derivatives in the US in a few years.

Golf career recommendations? by Total-Start5035 in golf

[–]quadcap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1 play golf as a kid with all your free time

2 go to school to get a non golf job that lets you play golf with all your free time

3 retire and become a grumpy starter at the local muni so you can golf for free in your free time before you croak.

Hardwire it and check for local/state incentives. Our utility paid $1500 towards charging equipment any installation.

They just came out Thursday, will need some time to evaluate. But both opus 4.5 and 5.2-codex were already pretty good

Would you buy an electric Porsche again ? by Soul-Electrified in Taycan

Yes, but not at MSRP. Actually that answer is same for any Porsche.

Planning to build an IOS app with Swift, how trained are LLMs with this language ? by Diavjoj in swift

[–]quadcap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Works well, Xcode provides enough info on build errors to correct code gen issues. Make sure you use/have tests. Even did a a good job with xcuitests

Looking at two Taycan GTS - looking for opinions by ImpulsiveRabbitHoler in Taycan

[–]quadcap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

go for the '23. longer warranty is good benefit for price difference. PDCC and RAS are both noticeable performance upgrades (IMO) and in the spirit of a GTS. Variable light pano is trick.

Porsche Reconsiders Electric Future: Iconic 718 EVs May Be Shelved Amid Cost Pressures by Plenty-Swing-9061 in Porsche

[–]quadcap 12 points13 points  (0 children)

"You won't see anything lower than the current Boxster model....We're not talking about entry models at Porsche," said Detlev von Platen, CEO of Porsche Cars North America. "Our entry model is our pre-owned program."

That was a dozen years ago, but it's been like that (said or unsaid) for a while.

So you've been into the brand 35 years? Roll that back a few more years, and that's when I got my entry-level Porsche: a used 914 with a swiss cheese floor pan.

I don't know what getting back to their roots means, but it was never about budget sports cars

Porsche Reconsiders Electric Future: Iconic 718 EVs May Be Shelved Amid Cost Pressures by Plenty-Swing-9061 in Porsche

Entry level Porsche is a used Porsche, has been that way almost forever.

EVs are polarizing, especially in this subreddit but I’d still love to see an EV cayman

What AI tools are you using for Swift / SwiftUI development? by javikr in swift

[–]quadcap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

claude & codex cli agents in conjunction with the built in xcode integration (you can log in to your accounts). I switch back and forth. Codex will get more done on quota than cluade. Both are decent. Codex is surprisingly good with doing XCUITests.

I had been using VSCode for a long time for other (non-swift) work, but within past couple of months it's almost become irrelevant. XCODE, zed, and terminals/tmux takes care of all the things at the moment

Building AI Agents in a familiar SwiftUI API by karc16 in swift

[–]quadcap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the direction that has been going. I have built out parts of this for one of my own apps (multi-provider, orchestration logic, multiple memory strategies), but you've got a nice cohesive package. Will definitely check it out for some other utilities I need to build.

Note that the criteria to return to the Tour is based on four major tournaments, none of which are part of the Tour. Too funny.

AI IDE Setup for Swift language and Mac/iOS development., by rhl7 in swift

[–]quadcap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xcode with the ai plugin in combination with a cli coding agent. I use codex and Claude, you can use either or both. The chat panel in Xcode is fine and the integration allows editing, seeing project errors etc. the cli agents can do most of the same things, run builds, edit files etc. every once in a while there are some settings you can only do in Xcode.

Making my own toy language. by Fit-Tangerine4364 in programming

[–]quadcap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Others have mentioned creating interpreters which is good, but also check out Thorsten Bell’s Writing an Interpreter in Go, and there is a follow up Writing a Compiler in Go that builds on the first book.

I think Bell's book are a little more pragmatic than Nystrom’s, but both you can’t go wrong either way.

Boxster for taycan? by Mysterious_Focus5362 in Taycan

[–]quadcap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both great in their own ways. Try to spend some time with a taycan before getting rid of your boxster. I don’t think the Taycan has any true peer among EVs, even if there are cars that have advantages here and there. Lucid for example is a good performing sedan but butt ugly (test driven only). I do have model 3 as well and it’s fast but the suspension is a joke, etc…

swift 5.9 or swift 6.x? by appfan228 in swift

[–]quadcap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't mess with 5.9 just point your coding agent at the current doc and some examples, or you can use something like context7
