All those stats look great on paper, but a few months ago I checked job postings for different mobile frameworks, and Flutter listings were 2-3 times fewer than RN. Go on Indeed and see for yourself. For a "28% of new iOS apps", t

Classic HN comment with unapologetic statements. If Flutter were that good, it wouldn't have flatlined so fast after the initial hype a few years ago. I tried it last year, only to see rendering glitches in the sample project.

It simply can't use it because it does not use native UIs, but instead mimics them with its own rendering engine. This approach worked to some extent during the flat minimalist era, but now that Apple has added so many new animations a

Aside from using an esoteric language and being a Google product with a risk of shutting down just because, Flutter's game-like UI rendering on a canvas was confirmed to be quite a questionable approach with the whole Liquid Glass tran

I highly recommend using MvvmCross with native UIs instead of MAUI: you get your model and view model 100% cross-platform, and then build native UIs twice (with UIKit and Android SDK), binding them to the shared VM. It also works with AppKi

Yes, HN discussions of LLMs are quite tiresome. I make indie apps, but it has been getting worse and worse over the years, as the API surfaces and UI variety of iOS and Android have grown. Claude Code and ChatGPT brought me back to the earl

From my recent experience, blackberry can be quickly eliminated with a small amount of triclopyr applied to a fresh cut with a brush. It gets to the root without harming anything around.

I'm not familiar enough with their definitions to argue about them, but meditations techniques predate Buddhism. In fact, the Buddha himself learned them from two teachers before developing his own path. Also, the style of meditation t

None of them are practicing Buddhist meditation though, same for the "personal growth" oriented meditation styles. Buddhist meditation exists only in the context of the Four Noble Truths and the rest of the Buddha's Dhamma.

One option would be using C# + AppKit on Mac and then WinUI on Windows, while sharing the view model and model layers between platforms with something like MvvmCross. Here's my attempt from 2021: https://github.com/Qoto

I've been programming since 2009 and lately I've been also learning a ton from LLM output. When they review my code or architecture ideas, they sometimes suggest approaches I outright didn't know because my day-to-day "r

Yes, for example that's why https://learnxinyminutes.com/ exists. Like, I don't remember the particulars of JavaScript syntax or the core library after a year of not touching it, so before I had to reconstruct it

600-750ppm is fine for a closed space, even Aranet4 (the best home sensor) goes yellow only after 1000ppm. I maintain it under 800ppm in winter because that's roughly the value from where serious cognitive decline starts: https:/

Humans are remarkably skilled at extending-reducing the range of their empathy, often deep compassion is reserved only for the carefully selected in-group members. It’s even easier to withhold it when it comes to other beings.

Yup, I've been writing in C# for Apple platforms since 2018. The tooling is a bit clunky, but great experience otherwise.

This is my new favorite, thank you. Not just animation quality, the writing is incredible.

That's human problem, not the teaching's problem. Some monks managed to behave badly even during the times of the Buddha. The problem of the discussion here is that some participants are claiming that Buddhism is not anti-violen

Yes, it goes as far as some Theravada traditions not giving much attention to Theravada's own commentary corpus, which was added centuries after the Buddha's life. The "let's go back to origins" approach is not a We

This is false because you're painting with overly broad strokes in the attempt to prove the point that "Westerners" don't get the reality on the ground in Buddhist countries (many don't, some do). Technically, Buddh

Unlike some other teachings, the Dhamma is not open to "interpretations": it's pretty explicit and not metaphorical at all. People twisting it for their ends simply produce counterfeit Dhamma that has nothing to do with the B

When discussing religion, it’s important to not mix up three rather different things: 1. The teaching itself 2. The clerical institution, often fused with and distorted by state power 3. The practice as understood and lived by ordinary peop
