Got it, thanks! It's just struck me that my project about visual programming have stallen exactly due to the lack of vision how to find time/money for it, and I've never thought about grants possibility.

Lame question: how do you find such grants?

Is it just me or his answers are super vague and uncertain? I've expected some irrefutable arguments and unshakable confidence, but it's mostly "I think", "I [don't] believe" and "hard to know".

Another option might be to read Wikipedia’s “Current events” page for pandemics situation in your country. It’s relatively concise, factual and up to date. It’s useful also for non-pandemic times.

I feel like few people even know about static site generators, and use general purpose solutions what anything that includes word "site" in it, whether it's dynamic social portal or single page static content. Like, from the

I've been using Anki for more than a decade, and while SuperMemo-based spaced repetition definitely works for me, I've been frustrated by the implementation itself - UX is far from being good and tons of possible use cases across

All those solve the "two codebases" problem by piling levels of complexity one on top of another. It's fire-sure way to make developers unhappy and code unmaintainable in the long run. React Native was the best shot in this m

Flutter is the best thing that happened to the UI development in the last decade or even two. Before Flutter, if I needed to build a simple app (couple of screens and network requests), there were no real option except of outsource it to th

I'm so on the opposite side of this opinion. To my view, the better tech aligned with the problem domain, the better off are developers and end users. Using typesetting format for rich UI apps is so far from what UI toolkits need and h

Looks great, and probably works best for selecting dates close to some defined date (today, start date, etc). Is there similar datepicker for Flutter?

It really depends on the type of the project. You generally use `cmd` package if you have more than 2 binaries in your project. Or, in rare case, where you ship a library and a binary (so you still can import a library by root package pat

I might be biased, as I had to read every Go rant back then when writing a "How to complain about Go" article, and this is clearly the same narrative. Author did a good job to hide it, but if you look closer you'll see indire

There is a lot of noise in the article (like mentioning Rob Pike's take on syntax highlighting), but mostly it seems to be a "I like Rust and Haskell, and don't like Go" type of articles. Could've been a single twee

Any particular reason of downvoting without explaining what's wrong with my point of view? This approach (no warning from compiler) is successfully used in Go, for example, and, I believe, the reasoning is similar.

I know post is about C/C++ compilers, but in general, I find it useful to treat compiler messages just as a normal log of a program – which, in this case happened to be a parser/compiler/linker. Logging, in a nutshell, is a c
