In the context of Gnome/GTK development, there's almost nothing more stable and comprehensive than Vala, as it's been around a very long time and was created specifically to occupy that space. Can't speak for OP about wh

If I had a nickel for every time I got excited about something with experimental multiplatform support... The Kotlin platform looks good and I've kept an eye on it, but the problem is, if I have to start working on an app now , it&#x2

It doesn't have to be 100%, but nobody wants to invest a ton of time/energy into a project just to hit a wall a little ways down the road when something at the very core of it breaks or becomes unmaintained. Of course it would be

This. Over the years I've seen so many cool projects aiming to ease native desktop UI development, but most became unmaintained at some point, for what I am guessing is due to the difficulty and complexity associated with actually maki

I remember a few years ago, a few really cool cross-platform UI libraries were starting to emerge such as libui [0] that got me excited. I've kind of lost track of them since then (libui itself went dormant for a while before this fork

This is a good point, and transferring of trust is a very interesting concept. But while I agree that these things shouldn’t necessarily be silently transferable, I also think there should be an easy way to onboard users to the new owner&#x

It’s a shame! I’m probably the least of a gamer of anyone I know (a bit of FIFA on PS4 is the only game I’ve played all year), but I played the shit out of RTS games back in the day. There was something wonderful about opening up StarCraft,

Interestingly, despite the burden of uninsured/unpaid medical costs, many in America view universal health coverage as antithetical to "forcing people to take responsibility." Given how many people are provided insurance by h

I've seen and experienced this as well, but not to the point where calling the same doctor for an appointment would get me in earlier or later. More typically I have access to different doctors altogether, or need approval for certain

In my view, a big part of problem the here is how individuals view the costs/quality relative only to themselves and not to those of a different socioeconomic status.

I wish there were a quick/easy answer here (we all prefer would to read those) but the truth is that it's not that simple. Even among the nations with excellent universal healthcare systems, most differ from each other in pretty s

This. You see this effect to some extent in Switzerland as well. Switzerland, many seem to feel, is "similar enough" to the United States that the existence of its universal healthcare system "seems" like a goal should b

How is this? All other things equal, certain companies simply get to jump the line over others?
140.
by dkh 3y ago
There’s a lot of people who want to make the jump but haven’t yet because the configuration seems complicated/unapproachable and they’ll lose too much productivity trying to figure it out or using it with a blank slate. These are great

Yeah but the demand for talent was such that, for at least a long time, the benefits and perks at startups usually exceeded those of the bigger companies. This may not be the case now, but I still think what you describe is not true often e

I was diagnosed and treated young (around 12-13). I was not very well controlled at all at the time, and wouldn't be until my 20s, but I at least was aware of the problem and seeing a doctor regularly from that point on. Everyone is di

What you describe is how I was when I was younger, too. I read everything, I read pretty fast, and I could read for hours on end. That is no longer the case at all, and I'm uncertain when or why it changed so drastically. (The "wh

The existence of colored syntax is too broad for a conclusion here. It's the specific highlights/colors/contrast ratios/etc. that determine whether a particular theme is working for or against you individually. Still hav
