Some countries don’t have the space for landfill and need the energy. If we’re moving towards renewables and less plastic/plastic alternatives then I think this is an acceptable intermediate use of plastic waste.

In countries like Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands it’s kind of done indirectly through waste to energy systems where plastic waste is burnt. I think there’s a few systems in place to mitigate the environmental impact.

I’m aware, I’m an immigrant. The thread is discussing outsourcing to lower COL areas not immigration (at least that’s how I interpreted it).

by jamil7 3y ago
Because if people can compete on wages due to lower COL, they will, and some companies will reward that.

I'm also a freelance developer living in Germany. I've been lucky enough to be on a fairly large, ongoing project for the last year, so I haven't been affected. But new project inquiries/leads have basically dropped to z

It's just poorly governed at every level by geriatric politicians/managers and has an enormous older population keeping them there.

I changed in Barcelona on my way to Madrid and went through this too, it seems like it's specific to Spain/Barcelona, at least for now.

Because PWAs on mobile remain kind of underwhelming still. Native APIs are missing, navigation stacks are not there and performance is still quite bad even on higher end phones, although the last one is probably implementation specific. The

I guess the more interesting data point is not how many queries it served but a what the cost was for serving them.

Is Fuschia meant to be anything more than an R&D project where some ideas get moved back to Android?

OP's question wasn't comparing price though, rather resource usage. Generally, an Android phone with the same specs as an iOS device will require more resources to perform the same tasks.
373.
by jamil7 3y ago
iOS is generally more efficient than Android due to ARC, AOT compilation and the way it aggressively manages apps.

Yeah, I’m also quite conflicted on this. I don’t like the way the industry expects this to some extent. At the same time most of my learning comes from tinkering outside of work and some larger initiatives have started from me hacking aroun

I probably spend around 80% of my time coding in a senior role with around 12 years experience. I think it depends highly on where and what you work on.

Is anyone using this in production? I played around with it a year or two ago, and it was a little rough. I recently built something internal using Rust and UniFFI for a similar purpose. I much prefer Rust's tooling, but it would be ni

GetSafe apparently has runway for another year, right now (a friend of mine interviewed, and the recruiter let on). I've used them for a couple of years, but probably wouldn't open an account with them now. They're generally

A lot resonates with this, particularly factoring code and carving out barriers later on when the project has settled. I believe there are some antipatterns like singletons and globals that on the surface look grug-brained but are actually

For some things, like JSON decoding and anything to do with dates and times, performance should be quite a lot better.

If what you're building on top of leaks into other parts of your codebase, can't be isolated and can't easily be swapped out, I'd say avoid building a product on top of it.

I don't live in either of those countries. Plenty of apps aren't localised for every region, and plenty of people speak English as a second language. I can decide for myself whether I want to use your app or not, the App Store alr

A lot of implementations would favour something like a lamport clock or counter instead of a timestamp for a few different reasons. You can tamper with it, and it will increment predictably. You don't really need to worry about timesta

The US is incapable of regulating them and foists that responsibility onto the rest of the world.

Thanks, sounds like your initial approach would be easier, a blocking API is fine for me. I'll look into it a little further.

I think I've seen you mention this before here, and it led me to writing a note about this topic in some documentation at work. So, thanks for the heads-up. Do you have any idea what would be required to write a URLSession backend for
