Flutter is a Google project so everything is always a bit better on the Android side. Lots of libraries that only exist for Android because most devs come from the Android side, lots of features and widgets that lag on iOS.

That would be the way to get the JS ecosystem out of the mud. But it would be great if there was a way to ensure nil and type safety on the level of Kotlin, Swift, Rust etcetera and build from there. TS is more like Java in that aspect.

TS has a bit of Java feel to me. Forces me to follow all kinds of hard compiler requirements that take some time to implement, like generics, but then there's still all of these edge cases like null-pointers that make it feel like you&

Redoing the same code feature does not lead to exactly the same machine code

Yeah there's an SDK and a Kit, so the SDK just gives you the basic building blocks in terms of data and the Kit gives you some of the screens. But at least on iOS it all looks a bit outdated so I'm only using the data layer. BTW a

Well it's based upon the previous architecture transitions they had as well as the average official support you get on most machines. Also the support is for current and last version so you can stick around at least another year on a f

Probably 5 years, since it's still an Intel version at the moment which will be phased out for Mx based Mac. If you would buy the latest MBP 13" M1 I think at least 8 years.

I liked the rawness of their first record. After that their sound became more pumpy and digital and I just lost interest.

I need some downtime from people in order to recharge my social battery. I really enjoy being around people but I just can't do it 24/7. Having your whole family around all of the time is really stressing since my social battery i

For a second I thought the title was about a developer that bought an M1 MacBook Air and realised he or she liked the Touch Bar after all.

It would be nice if you can move your existing C codebase piecemeal towards a more safe standard using linters and compiler checks. Because projects with a lot of legacy (mostly C) code (which means all popular operating systems) cannot be

Hopefully I can avoid stacks tainted by this kind of unnecessary “flexibility” until the end of my programming career. Typescript was considered the “fix all problems with JavaScript” language but I poked in its type system within the first

I've done WebRTC cross-platform between iOS, Android and web browsers (in the end only Chrome...wasn't the web developer though, perhaps it was fixable) and I can tell you even while you're using Chrome, an OS built by the cr

You weren't naive. Objective-C is so much better suited to do GUI applications than Java. Plus you could dip into the performance of C where it mattered most. Also while Objective-C (when used idiomatically) was slower than Java, it wa

Contracting salaries are much more similar. Not the same, but in the same ballpark. The ability to fire people easily, less holidays and less perks leads to higher salaries in the US but contracting jobs pay relatively bad.

I think the golden age of the US lasted between the beginning of the 30's until the end of the 70's and especially that period was a time of higher taxes for the rich and a rapidly growing middle class. With the current lack of we

The compile time guarantees could have been much better, especially around null pointers. Now they're hacking in non-nullability the same broken way they did it in Java. Same goes for a lot of things like switch / case statements

So far dealing with stuff like PayKit SwiftUI integration still feels really bad. There's just tons of stuff expecting UIKit and it will take a while before all of that stuff is ported. SwiftUI is really great, Combine can be hard to g
