I've been a big fan of Ente and their work and am a paying customer but, man, this comment in a long-standing GitHub feature request is ringing truer every day: > Ente is becoming like Proton: too many products and a lack of focus,

Compared to what? I mean, what's the alternative for an interactive app?

What makes React fundamentally worse than Vue or Svelte? In my experience, there are also plenty of crappy Vue-based sites and applications and I'm sure the same is true for Svelte. > Today, you open facebook, the creators of React

Isn't React pretty much a model-view-viewmodel architecture?

Or just make side effects explicit in the type system through monads or algebraic effects.

> UI elements automatically reacting to data changes (as oppposed to components updating themselves by listening to events) Is there really a difference? Angular uses RxJS in a pub-sub scheme. (At least it did when I last used it.)

> So in `foldr (+) 0 . map (const 1)`, the author gives `f = foldr (+) 0` and `g = map (const 1)` but doesn't supply `x`. That's a partial application. It's not, and the authors doesn't have to. Using your definitions

Do you have to figure this out? Sure, it's nice and "pure" if everything is configured through Nix but there is something to be said about being pragmatic. Personally, I just enabled nix-ld[0] and use uv to install and hand

https://spectrum-os.org/ is trying to marry QubesOS (everything runs inside a VM) with Nix. It's still very much in development, though.

Man, I still remember what a pain the migration from PulseAudio to Pipewire was. Sure, it's only a couple packages, disabling a few services, enabling a couple others. But I had to do this almost on the daily, while bugs in Pipewire&#x

What features would you expect from a good word processor? What features should it leave out, i.e. features make MS Office / OpenOffice / LibreOffice a bloated mess?

I've long been thinking the same thing. In many fields of mathematics the placeholder $ from the OP is often written •, i.e. partial function application is written as f(a, b, •). I've always found it weird that most functional la

If you need to reinstall Windows so frequently, have you considered giving Linux a shot? I switched 16 years ago and haven't looked back. Until recently, I used Ubuntu and I think I had to reinstall twice in 15 years, one of which was

by codethief 7mo ago
I don't know, man. For the past year I've been having the "pleasure" of using Windows again for the first time in 16 years. My coworkers recommended I try the WSL since in their eyes I'm a "Linux guy". Wel

https://developer.android.com/developer-verification Note that the OP is about side loading, i.e. installing apps from non-Play Store sources and thereby circumventing developer verification.
263.
by codethief 7mo ago
This. Side loading being restricted is only one part of the problem; the other is mandatory developer verification for apps distributed through the Play Store.

Agreed. IMO your comment should be at the top. (Would it make sense to post it at the top level, so that it can be voted up independently?)

To me, "Where does engineering go?" is a much more opaque title than "The future of software engineering", the latter of which immediately tells me what this is about.
