Ah cool, I'm playing some now, pretty nifty! The puzzles I knew back in the 90s were very contrived.

The vast majority of apps are UI, CRUD, business logic and other things where native code (as in compiled C/C++) is just overkill and makes things more complicated. The few exceptions seem to be the fields you listed.

I just came to Hackers News because I suspect there's way less mobile dev jobs than any others and found this post on algolia search. It's exactly what I wanted! Great little site. And just as I thought, Kotlin and Swift are near

I never plan to be on a ship so I don't need this advice. But I've watched countless videos on how to escape a sinking car.

I love RIF as well. It's so simple and straightforward but with all the features of the website. It seems be well down the list of Android app in popularity though, I don't know why.

JIRA is the slowest website I use in current year. If it was a consumer site like Youtube or Twitter, I'd long stop visiting. You can feel the gears slowly turning whenever you click something. When I click the wrong button I get that

Usually after Googling with the letters and some context I can figure out most acronyms but I've failed on this one. What's TFA?

I used to cheat on chess.com. It started as a small bit of cheating here and there, just checking every now and then if the move I was going to make was the best. Of course, the computer always had a better move and then I examine the line

I'd guess it's a fake oauth screen as well. I coded one of the first (I think) Tinder auto likers for Android back in 2013, and the only way I could do it was get the real facebook username and password and log into Tinder on the

See it's all a matter of opinion. I personally don't really care about online privacy and GDPR just gets in my way. I know that's not a very popular opinion on this site but it's the way I feel.
