I interviewed with one of the flutter engineers. After a casual talk with him on how they were doing the rendering, while interesting, I had a feeling that fluter will fail. It reminded me a bit of all the HTML 5.0 on mobile efforts back

The sad point is that in the current state, you get two leetcode style questions for round interview, and that's it. Good luck with that; There is 0 interest in companies to improve the quality of the interview process. 0. They'd

Swift has turned into a hot garbage of a language, that is starting making Enterprise Java from 2001 look good. The sheer complexity (especially with v5.5) of it has just become unmanageable and just looking something more like a mashup of

These off the cuff remark are the typical 'armchair commentary' we get in HN and somehow they get a lot of votes, but they are really low grade 'feel good' efforts. While FB/Meta is in a vulnerable position, they st

In theory you can fuse up to Iron.... the last stage of stars. You are not limited to just Hydrogen.

Dyson spheres are just inane.... sorry but they don't make sense. Any advanced form of civilization that can build one, probably figured how to do fusion efficiently locally and doesn't have to build these insanely inefficient en

autocomplete is a memory multiplier.... it allows developers to be able to use vast/larger array of languages without having to remember every detail of the syntax. As long as you know the concepts, autocomplete helps fills the detail

Microsoft doesn't pay their devs. that well, that's why. With second rate engineers and designers, you are going to get second rate products.

Absolutely not. There are actually human costs to it. My parents are old (in their 70s), and they are lucky to have a CVS near by where they can walk and get their medicine and basic needs. Pharmacies and grocery stores being forced to c

Albania doesn’t have either. Scams or thefts are rare. It is a very tourist friendly country as it gets almost 2.5x tourists a year compared to its population. People are very welcoming.

Albania is the safest country in Europe when it comes to robberies https://landgeistdotcom.files.wordpress.com/2021/10/europe-r... This is surprising to most americans, but the Western EU countries are the least s

Move to NYC or a different large city. (I am assuming you perhaps live in the Bay Area). SF is intersting, but the rest of the Bay Area is a giant suburb. It is nice to live as a family (but expensive), but it is not the right place for

Yep, in Albanian: Rrobe, means "Cloth". Same origin. It means that 'rober' came from the meaning of 'cloth taker'.

I agree. People find it normal to get an IDE for free, but when Apple released XCode for free, it was an innovation. (VB Basic/Pro, Borland, and all cost money when they started). The only competitors were Eclipse, and VI/VIM an

I agree, this movie was a huge hit back in the day and it is still a great watch. I also think Pinot is superior (both the white or the red variety). Chardonay and Merlo are every day staple, but Pino is just a tad better. I think once mor

Staff is really in a different level. You don't have local/team level technical challenges anymore, but more changes that run across teams and that affect multiple teams. You need to be both technically adept, and people adept, a

You can be a lot picker on what you work though, and know better to avoid pitfalls and wasting time. When you are young, you are running like a headless chicken, trying to learn/do everything you can, and usually not have the right fil

I heard they are humanized 'pigs'. Ie. engineered so their organs don't trigger our immune system. Not sure how true is this, or it is just a myth.

Yes, it makes sense that Lions roamed the area. It was a warmer period, and humans were still not that numerous. Today, the Balkan Lynx, is the last large cat that lives in the Albania and N. Macedonia area. It is a beautiful animal. Mos

Peter Thiel is actually German. Not sure what he wants to do into Austrian politics, but Kurtz probably has enough connections and know hows to navigate the whole EU apparatus.

There is Somerville Ma, a town near Boston as well. Not sure the names are a connected though.

Absolutely yes. The apollo's feat, of landing a lander in a different body, with people in it, and making sure that lander lifted off the moon, and got back home safe was astonishing accomplishment. Especially with the rudimentary com

It is both..... so both the author and you are correct. Modern concrete has rebar, which eventually gets rusted, and corroded, and fails (in 150-200 years). Also, roman concrete was just thicker/used more material. Also simple stone s

The fact that Swift is not being used in anything than apple's econsystem, tells you that is a mediocre language. Java, JDK 1.1. was released in 97. It was the first fully featured version of the language. Java was not initially meant

Java 1.1 was released in 97, and by 2001 java was a defacto language for web services. (php and python where the other two). Then by 2002 starting taking over mobile (J2ME). It even forced MSFT to create .NET. That's the hallmarks of

Java 1.1. (JDK 1.1) (the first true full featured java) was released in 97. It was meant for applications such as midlets, but it was such a good language that took over in the web, and forced the hand of MSFT to create .Net. By 2001, in j

This was a great write up. My hunch is that older binaries will stay Objective-C forever, until the app is completely replaced. It will linger around, similar to C and C++. There is no major win to just write something in a different langua
