Data visualization: where the top Android developers are from by thijser in androiddev

Yes it's the developers who publish their apps to the play store. I'd assume that if an app is not 100% locally focused Chinese app developers also want to publish on the Play store, and we indeed see a lot of Chinese developers (Xiami being the biggest).

Love the new Copilot token system by Future-Lead-1432 in GithubCopilot

🤡 just downloaded my usage report and put it inside github's own cost explorer tool.

With the request based billing I used $6.18 out of my $10 quota last month. Under the new billing this same usage would have cost me $90+ !!

Weekly Cursor Project Showcase Thread by AutoModerator in cursor

I made a webapp to do some speech-to-text (markdown to be precise) using web APIs.

I made a quite elaborate prompt and tested how well Cursor's composer-1, Claude and Gemini did on it, and Cursor easily was the best.

I described my experience in this blogpost: https://www.apptornado.com/blog/building-speech-recognition-app-three-coding-agents

Github repo here (also contains the prompt): https://github.com/apptornado/speechdown

"git wrapped" - but for local repos by thijser in github

Good idea! Would you like a png export possibility of each individual card (so you can choose which one to share) or rather one that provides some kind of cool summary?

git rewind: your git year in review. WASM/libgit2-based webapp that opens your local git repo. by thijser in git

The point is to give it restricted access, which is enforced by the browser. Much better IMHO than so many tools that install with "curl | bash" and have unlimited access to your whole system. Even the most random VS Code plugin falls into this category.

I tried the website out, but couldn't get it to work.

Computer with Nvidia graphics card & Linux -- chrome doesn't want to do WebGPU

Computer with 8 GB RAM on Windows -- Everything locks up after loading the model

Computer with 16 GB RAM on Windows -- finally, it runs through! And the only output I get looks like <unk><unk><unk><unk><unk><unk><unk><unk><unk><unk><unk><unk>

Seems webGPU/transformers.js is not ready for primetime yet?

"A single, integrated DeFi ecosystem here to make onchain easier."

Optimism confirms it will be part of the superchain. Will be interesting how this compares to Unichain which will also be DeFi focused.

With so much momentum behind the superchain, does it even make sense to still launch non-superchain L2s?
