I don't see why it would take years to learn to write an app in Swift or Kotlin (or React Native or Flutter), even starting from zero. I'm not trying to be cute here. There are probably 50 high quality end to end tutorial for buil

This is so pessimistic! What is the basis for thinking there are large barriers to most people becoming software makers? I was in high school 12 years ago, when iphones just hit the market at like 800 bucks each and there was no firebase

Also after the Redhat and then IBM acquisition I wonder if you came out in a better position in the end anyway.

Thats interesting, I worked at a Forever 21 in the US ten years ago. They policy was that they would "look" (really just glance into) bags, but never actually touch people.

Why can't this be on the scale of 3 or 5 years? I'm reminded of the Maya Angelou quote: "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them

That's a very helpful illustration, thanks. I guess it seems...funny to me that the one level of abstraction (paper money representing the power to exchange goods and services) is so much more preferred to the other (digital representa

I was rejected with no explanation from a Twitter API key, despite it being for a real account that must appear very normal in every respect. I think it's kind of funny that they are so draconian with hobbyists and people making toys,

Why do they need paper money anyway? Is there something more legitimate about a piece of paper with many 0s on it vs redundant electronic storage of record?

Can anyone give me examples of what trivializing the correspondence between the program and the process looks like?

Wow those margins are shockingly thin. I guess the logistics of increasingly approaching 1 day shipping are no joke.

Yes it seems kind of comical that a simple offline cache wouldn't be included as an easy to tick off thing to include in this huge undertaking.

I don't meant to be whiny but it's interesting how ineffective this would be for certain groups of people. Imagine a woman showing up in sweatpants and no makeup or a black guy wearing basketball shorts, white socks and Nike slide

I don't think FB or Apple can win a bidding war with state actors, and especially not a wealthy monarch. I think the problem is these 0 days are worth more to bad actors than the bad press costs companies.

Many of the areas that were governed to 8mph were very popular boardwalks, after many people were injured and an older guy was hit and died. The convention center is more nuanced, because lots of it is heavy traffic street. But there is

Wow is the ban thing a real risk that anyone can substantiate? That's horrifying and I had the same thought that everyone else did about using a burner email, which is apparently impossible. Personally I don't think I can go strai

Even the most pointed to example and seemingly saturated space, social media, had three major players emerge last decade: Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok.

that makes a lot more sense, thank you

thank you OP and everyone. I have that shaky initial understanding but makes much more sense.

Hey OP, im not much of a math guy, I'm getting hung up on this part: SHA1(P1+C1+X) = SHA1(P2+C2+X) for any X. The example above seems like SHA1(GOOD_DRIVER) == SHA1(BAD_DRIVER+C2+X) somehow. How does the C1 and X get appended to the si

Can you give a specific example of the danger here? I understand the principle behind the attack (kinda). I just don't understand what danger being able to pad two documents to make them collide poses? edit: My guess is that it can be

Can you explain more about that? I've worked with both and I feel like monorepo is kinda a pain, but I dont understand where Git fits in to either directly. Seems like it just snapshots files.

Did you do it?

That's neat, im just not much of a .NET person myself and I guess that using a language/framework that is enjoyable is more valuable to me than the portability aspect. I came into React Native for those portability reasons, and it

How much real world experience does any new grad have? Unless they happen to have internships, I suspect even most top CS school grads would struggle a good deal with that. Mind you, the college grads have had 4 years to tinker with side pr

I discovered Flutter recently and love it! I want to buy in all the way. Could you go more into your experiences, especially with backend and tooling? I'm pretty sold on it for web dev, as I spent a ton of time trying to get into react

Please, please try Flutter. I had literally the same issues with React Native and gave Flutter a test run late last year. I will never go back. Flutter is so stable and honestly my frustrations with Flex made consider giving up on mobile

I really like Flutter, infact it's the first language I've been really excited about since Python back in college, but I worry about learning something like Aqueduct.io. I feel like the biggest con with Flutter is that there are n
