Then it suits your use case. I've basically made a living from re-writting cross platforms apps back to native. Company creates cross platform app. They get some traction. They try to scale but it becomes harder every day. They hire me

User review: "Tried using the app- no listeners were available. Cheaply made." Users know. That's why most of these apps die within 1-2 years. Have you used any airline app? Have you used any "cross platform" bank a

Can you give me an example of a good mobile app built with Qt/QML? I feel like only big corps can justify such apps where users have no choice but to use it because their boss forced them to.

I've built both native and cross platform apps. People and especially managers think that cross platform apps will save them money/time. However, they don't realisize that cross platform solves one problem and creates ten. Th

You might want to include a "new releases" section. Sometimes they release good stuff that is not rated yet.

I really hate when companies hide behind chatbots. Like, NOOOO, your "AI" chatbot didn't help me - get me an actual person.

I think people like to complain for the sake of complaining. If you bothered to look, eSIM would suit you perfectly. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209044

I feel like this is a "cars can't replace horses" kind of debate.

Realistically when was the last time you switched your SIM card? I only change it when i change phones.

A loss is a loss but it matters in terms of exposure for the individual. If they took a loan or put all of their life savings into it then it feels a bit different than turning $50 into $500000.

Add a mysterious global virus to the mix and you have a movie. Oh wait, that's reality.

At my previous company, Monday was filled with meetings with 40-60min of spare time in between. I mostly did small bug fixes or read articles because there was no way to do anything productive. I need the mental space to properly plan and e

Very common. It's hard to quantify the mental work done, so we only measure kilos of code written. I do think though that anyone that has written code should be able to understand that it's not as simple as sitting down and typing

Exactly, it doesn't have to be one or the other. So far, i've been using a monolith for core functionality and microservices for independent processing tasks. That way, i can attach as much functionality as i want without bloating

Social media is a medium, not the source. Following the work of independent journalists, in whatever medium you choose to consume, is the best approach atm.

> media cover current politics objectively Any person with half a brain knows that corporate media are just propaganda machines with political agendas at this point.

We've lost the community aspect. Previously, communities were essential for survival but nowadays it's easier than ever to be independent. Work remote from your computer. Buy food, water, sex and get dopamine hits from social medi

> But that these shadow organizations are maintaining power by surveiling and blackmailing congress people is a whole other ballgame and seems highly unlikely to me. Why is it so hard to believe that a few powerful indivisuals at the top

Such a relief to live in Sweden. No one is pretending to wear masks and we're doing just fine. If i wasn't reading the news i wouldn't even know there was a pandemic. As opposed to the rest of EU where everyone is pretending

I pretty much hate "personalized" search recommendations. If i'm looking for something it's usually not in relation to me but in relation to the world. If i wanted something more relevant to me, then i would specify what

What if we didn't try to replicate google. Smaller and niche search engines would probably work better in this new world of vast information.

I love the idea of a remote IDE, especially when i'm compiling heavy apps in xCode/Android Studio but i have to agree. We are losing control and open ourselves to the mercy of whatever company. Google is a great example. Many busi

Main issue in the EU is still compensation. They are pretty stingy with equity and salary. And risk wise, yes, US tends to swing for the fences more often which produces unicorns. EU tends to go more traditional and safe routes (aka boring)

Since we're ranting about shuffle... I have a favorites playlist with over 3k songs and if i just press shuffle to start playing - it keeps playing the same freaking songs. It's a mix of most recently added + 20 of my most played

And from my experience, one meeting with the PM asking how long will it take... is not going to cut it either. Until i really dig into the requirements and dependencies i will probably fall out of the estimate. The biggest bottleneck for me
