Use Swift. Go native or go home. I've prototyped apps with React Native, and it was a dependency nightmare. More time was spent researching and hacking in fixes and dealing with upgrading the app to the latest version than actually bui

Would you use a pair of scissors for lawn maintenance? Sure, if my lawn was 1 square inch! It depends on your specific use case! What are you building? Is this the best tool for the job? Seriously these empty questions about using a tool fo

Ughhh, you do realize that there are software systems out there probably just as complex as rockets, as they are, well, used in rockets themselves to control the physical parameters. You do know what the end-state is. It's called the m

Even on web I keep using old.reddit.com, as the new layout is just a waste of screen real-estate and looks more like dig. I loved reddit's original UI, similar to HN, you can quickly scan the headlines, not stare at empty space into th

Rake is just a task runner, it sounds like maybe you had some rake tasks that were constantly ran to fix bad data or take care of recurring problems. This is the wrong approach. I've seen this done by DBAs who had stored procs to fix i

"Elon Musk, SpaceX’s founder and CEO, told reporters last year that the fairing costs around $6 million." Pretty good if they can recover them and refurbish them. Could save a few million dollars per launch, even more if they can

Hope that plant gets built, but I mean just look at Bulgaria, where corruption is rampant. We haven't been able to complete the Belene Nuclear Power Plant for 30 years now. Doubt the Rwandan plant will get built any time soon. https:&

Overhead cranes. They move everything in the supply chain. From raw material and resource extraction, to ports, to manufacturing facilities and paper plants, and even standing up rockets for NASA and SpaceX. Every time I tell people I work

Wonder if the physics bugs exist on this web port of CS for maps like ka_roadwars_v2 That was an epic map where you could glitch into the wall with a vehicle and shoot yourself off in the air and go into the hidden gun room. Fun times.

Yup... as if somehow there's a magic answer for some of the most general questions and it's hiding in the YC crowdsourced brain. If you had to ask that question, you need to take 5 steps back and watch YC's startup videos, re

Open office plans for software developers is like the worst thing ever, unless your culture is one where people are quiet and put their headphones in and get to work. I had that experience at one company, but others were a total mess. A sof

There's a good write up of how Cardano, the blockchain project, uses Nix. Not surprising, given that Nix was a academic research project, and Cardano has a good network of academic researchers working to solve hard blockchain problems.

Just give us a mass produced anti-body test we can take already. This is ridiculous. If people can just take an anti-body test to show they are immune to covid-19, they can safely return to work.

Maybe it got flagged because it's an abomination of an article. Did you even read the damn thing? The author has no authority to speak on the subject seeing as he does not even recognize the work many crypto projects are doing to help
