Did you try this course? https://www.hackingwithswift.com/ It has a lot of free content. I remember reading the parts "100 days of Swift/SwiftUI" in the past and it was good.
For me, once a year and I have to use the reflog. But using a GUI is so much faster and safer that I won't change. Mercurial and Jujutsu have good command-lines, why can't git do the same?
I expect readers of HN to know the acronym PRNG, and that random must be seeded all the time and must NOT be used for secure things. But we're living in the age of LLMs that create perfect code while programmers know nothing anymore.
I wonder how all those European companies are doing it. They ship everything all the time, avoid the $billions fines, yet make mistakes like everybody else.
> how much the EU slowed down innovation
You say this all the time, yet we're doing fine. How come?

Carefully crafted/gerrymandered laws that only rent seek from American big tech.

You're not doing fine. I don't know how you can look back at the stagnation of the past two decades in the EU and think you're "doing fine." One of our companies is worth more than your entire tech industry. Your engineers get paid a fifth of what they could make here, so they often move here. In tech, you've fallen so far behind others superpowers that it's not even funny, and you're gleefully positioning yourself to fall even further behind. Your relative share of the global GDP is dropping.
You think you're doing fine, but if the EU doesn't plan on amending the regulatory-industrial complex that has caused its undeniable stagnation, it will eventually fall into irrelevancy, and be on the losing side of the rising global wealth inequality.

Alright then; who else should have been covered with the DMA in your opinion? Which other companies created unfair tax arrangements that have avoided scrutiny for decades?
Oh, nobody as large as Apple? Huh. Sounds like they're not targeting American companies at all, but instead prioritizing the biggest violators.
I'm in the same camp since I subscribed. I became a 10x developer because my search results are way more accurate and I don't waste time anymore when filtering spam. I would estimate that I used to waste 1 hour per day while looking for what I wanted. It's not a cheap tool, but $10 for gaining 20 hours a month is something that I can live with.
An AI equivalent would be the JetBrains AI for the same price which seems to be integrated to CLion but I'm still not completely sold about it.
I have worked with juniors. Those who use AI copy bad code without learning anything. Those who learn and will become seniors are not using AI. We will have a massive reduction in the amount of seniors (good for me, not good for programming in general).
At least the bread making machine is predictable. But you now have shitty bread, and a technician that has no knowledge of whether or not the bread is acceptable or not. Exactly like LLMs, we're throwing away the past and forget why it was this way.
I just happen to live in Singapore at the moment. German supermarket (factory produced) bread is also better than most of what you can get in the UK.
It's just that German consumers demand a certain level of quality in their sourdough, and the market is big enough for people to build machines to deliver that quality at a good price.
Yes, bread here in Singapore is a bit sad. (But we got lots of other great food options to make up for that.)
