It's state-owned (the federal government is the majority shareholder) but it's not really state-run as far as I understand. It has a lot of autonomy and is responsible for its own failures in my opinion.

Maybe? Or the bar will just be a lot higher for them since there will be less work at the entry level. Either way I think previous generations of SWEs will be at an advantage going forward.

Sorry, shouldn't have engaged there.

> It makes me immensely sad that people have so many misconceptions about Catholics. I’d like to know if anything else about Catholics and the Catholic church makes you sad? And what do you believe are “misconceptions”?

Well, I feel like we probably won't agree here, but we do agree on the environmental sustainability topic and I can't personally advocate for car-centric city planning with that in mind. I think efficiency as it's defined by

Thanks, I'll give it another chance when the impeller stuff settles more.

That would be one of the least efficient ways to move people at scale around a city, which just enforces the original point.

How's scrolling on iOS? Are you using the new rendering engine?

The fact that they’re still vastly less efficient than mass public transport, bikes or just walking.

Although I haven't used it, Jetpack Compose exists now, so that and SwiftUI are pretty similar. On a previous project I was contracting on, the CTO managed to bash out a basic Android version of the iOS app I was working on without any

I guess I'm struggling to see how there's any difference here, can you give an example?
348.
by jamil7 3y ago
Yes, but this can already happen for an app in the App Store.

Couple of things. iOS is sandboxed so they can’t do anything outside of the context of that app. To use any APIs that would require a permission dialogue you have to make a request to get a handle on them which only happens after a user gra

I've been using Zed for a while, alongside Xcode and nvim. It's really snappy and the vi bindings are decent, support for Rust and TS is pretty great out of the box but not so great for the other languages I use (Swift). I'm

As others have said, tools like linters and formatters would be the first step. Vale is a great one for catching spelling and grammar mistakes in comments and code. If you can't get buy in, then just have the linter/formatter conf

I think people know they’re paying a premium on hardware. The point of PaaS isn’t to get the best deal on specs it’s for small teams to iterate quickly and focus on product. If they’re successful they’ll outgrow it and hire people to manage

No, but this is the way it goes, new software will be written that will push current phone hardware to its limits, and then we'll start the cycle over again.

This is a weird take. It’s similar to saying workers pre unionisation and labour movements were complicit in enabling poor working conditions.

Which is fine but they didn’t merge any PRs either. I might have a go at a fork of this but I don’t take a phone with me running or track them these days.
