Thanks for the reply. One thing I love about Flutter is that it's doing tremendous job under the hood to decide what parts of the widget tree is actually need rerendering. I might be wrong, but that's probably the major aspect of

Can someone provide explanation why SwiftUI is slow? My intuition was that it should be extremely fast, especially on the modern MacBooks. I write quite a lot of desktop apps in Flutter (or run mobile apps as MacOS builds, because it's

Yes, you can both run apps and open documents. What I'm saying is that "tabbed interface" makes tons of sense for documents, and not so much for the apps. But browsers keep pretending that all apps are documents and deserve t

Wikipedia is definitely a good example of interlinked documents, indeed. Blog is probably too (editing blog is entirely different process, though, and needs an app — you wouldn’t call Adobe Acrobat “a document” ) What I’m trying to say that

Thank you, but I have to disagree here. Yes, it's true that sometimes the line between document and app is blurred. But I would argue it's blurred exactly because we use things designed for document to make apps. Take "link

I mean "tabs" is just one of many forms of hanlding multiple windows. They make a lot of sense for document viewers and alike. My claim is that browsers are so much bloa..^Wbigger that that. There is no reason to limit web apps to

Why people still buying the concept of tabs? Tabs make sense for document viewers. Web browsers are not hypertext documents viewers anymore. They are full-fledged virtual machines for apps (only those that can be written in JS and use types

That's what I like about this approach in Go - by having no choice you accept that "error path" as "actual functionality". Phrases like "noise created by error handling" start sound like "the incoveni

Exactly. So much magic and complexity just to perform the nil check behind the scenes. Also it has a bit of educational component. It's like a seatbelt. In some societies people consider seatbealts annoying and irritating thing that re

Cognitive load never "feels" like cognitive load. Back then in C++ times, I also felt like 10+ min compilation times were non-issue. Until I experienced subsecond compilation times, of course.

I like the second snippet (The actual CopyFile function). It's verbose at the right level – from the single glance I know what will happen in all possible execution paths. No additional cognitive load on figuring out what's going

I typically store it in the DB along with the image ID (or URL). It's being displayed even before network request to the actual image has started. Works like a charm on slow networks.

By cold start I mean, I haven't launched the app in the last days, so it's not in any sort of cache or memory pages. No, I don't have any antivirus, and generally very concerned about what's running in the background (

On my Apple M1 it takes ~33 seconds for cold-start. I use only vim and flutter extention. That said, my biggest complaint is that on this extremely fast computer, the lag between a keypress and a symbol is too big. I'm typing faster
