I think you are operating from the bias of big programming departments where hiring for a specific language is a thing. Some companies don't assume that you need to know their specific stack before hiring. And some programmers program

It's an optimization they aren't using, React Native is only being used for Android.
213.
by Touche 7y ago
Right, but it doesn't really optimize for their engineering team either since the only reason to use something like React Native is the ability to do both platforms at once.

You understand rent would also go down too right?

He held the door open for a lot of people. Some people spit at him as they walked through. He doesn't want to hold the door open any more, he's done it enough. He didn't sign up to be a doorman for life.

You can retract it. He just did it. You can take down any webpage under your control. I could delete this comment later if I like. You could delete yours. etc.

You only have a right to complain about the amateur bullshit you paid for, though.

Strangely no one has brought up cleaning, that place must accumulate a lot of dust. I would assume they hire cleaners but I have no idea what that would cost.

Yeah but this isn't a home. Most people don't want to buy a 20k masonic template and live it in. Given what the upkeep must be, your most likely buyers probably want to rent out the space to businesses. So it's priced accordi

From the article it seems that they are now disputing the reporting and blame Twitter for her having stepped down. So from her perspective the lesson to learn here is to keep the company's dirty laundry out of the media. I suspect the

This controversy wasn't started by Twitter, it came from good ole fashion investigative reporting. The fact that we are discussing the role of Twitter shows that the grandparent is right, it's a new fake enemy to put blame on and

To be honest I don't know what this means. I was expected a yes or no answer. Does the Linux Foundation have final say over the organization or does its members?

Does this mean that Linux Foundation has ultimate control of the foundation?

Just for clarity for anyone reading, the Zig author does not claim that Zig is safe and has in fact said that is unsafe. Could change in the future, but there's no denial about what it is today.

Does the standard library use malloc/free or does it depend on the GC? This is the part that's puzzling to me, if the stdlib depends on GC then it's harder to say that GC is optional. Technically optional but not super practi
227.
by Touche 7y ago
How can it be optional if there is lots of code that assumes you are using GC? For example, as far as I can tell the stdlib doesn't do its own allocations. Does this mean you can't use the stdlib with GC disabled? Or am I missing

by Touche 7y ago
Are you saying that the GC is optional? If you don't use it how do you allocate/free memory?

Our industry didn't forget, a generation of developers have come up who never developed web pages that way at all.

I'm not sure languages like Pascal and Basic are better options...

I'm pretty sure invisible UI started very much while Jobs was in power. Hiding the scrollbar, for example. I think it's quite a myth that Jobs knew good design. Jobs had a fetish for minimalism. For simple, single use, UIs that&#x

C is basically your only option for embedded systems.

> C is basically it for embedded development though. This is the entire reason for me. With the way IoT is blowing up C actually might be gaining market share. I've done my research and things like TinyGo exist, and you can sort-o

100kb is the max amount of JavaScript. There's a number for all resources but I don't know what it is offhand. Using more than 100kb of CSS is a red flag and probably means you are using a framework like Bootstrap and not just imp

by Touche 7y ago
Just for anyone reading, 100kb is the max you want for initial load if targeting mode. This means that Ember is a bad choice for most web apps today. React isn't a great choice either because the lack of features and relative large siz

I think you're being a bit too literal here. Did AWS merely fork the infrastructure that Amazon.com runs on and start selling it, no. But are you telling me that it wasn't built on the lessons learned of amazon.com and that it d

I'm confused because on the one hand you say that their needs are very different and then on the other hand you say that they are using AWS. Another commenter also pointed out that they are using AWS. I think the only needs that are li

by Touche 7y ago
I don't doubt that Amazon.com runs on its own dedicated "installation" of AWS, but are you saying that it doesn't run on AWS at all? That doesn't jive with the infamous "API mandate" email that Bezos wrote

Wait, what? GCP isn't just the productization of their internal infrastructure?
