Apple News+ subscription growth blows away major media sites

Jump

  • What I’ve noticed that happened in Brazil is that most major news channels have 2 websites: a subscription one with quality articles and a free one with very summarized AI lazily written news with no details or context.

    There’s really not much to it, quality content needs money and ads don’t pay off for all of it (besides the fact nowadays people just blocks them).

    • 25 Reasons Why Java is Still Around in 2023

    Jump

  • The whole article seems a bit forced with many topics that are present in most other languages too. I don’t think “Faster release cycle” is one reason Java got where it is today.

    • I've lately been making my git commit messages with AI

  • The problem is people are lazy and most places I’ve been, peoeple make bad commit messages and often very non informative.

    • The Top Programming Languages 2023

    Jump

  • Just as an example, I worked as a contractor with the biggest bank in Latin America before and basically all their server code is Java (with new code in Kotlin nowadays).

    • [Discussion] Nim Programming language - thoughts?

    Jump

  • it’s a great language if you need to develop fast like Python

    I think what’s more relevant question here is what about the ecosystem? The language itself can be good, but can you create some category of software in it that is better/easier than alternatives? I suppose it would take a long time for it to have a framework as complete or well documented like Python’s Django or PHP’s Laravel etc.

    When blogs or people in forums promote some less used language they often focus on some specific good thing and leave out the inconveniences and the big picture, so these are questions I’d ask before adopting a different programming language.

    • Outverse wants to build a full-stack community platform for software companies

    Jump

  • That seems like it’s trying to be everything.

    I might be wrong — who knows — but from that text I don’t think that is being made by passionate individuals trying to create a good product for the software community because they believe in it. It feels like some VC money grab that throws LLMs at the problem and already expects to be the next Facebook.

    • Is anyone migrating from Java to Kotlin at work?

    Jump

  • I have friends who work at the biggest bank in Latin America, where most backend stuff used to be Java. Nowadays all new code is written in Kotlin.

    • No. Greek Semicolons hold no power here.

    Jump

  • That’s a well designed compiler.

    • Microservice architecture, they said. It will be fun, they said.

    Jump

  • I like how monorepo is at the bottom.
