In my experience React Native is wonderful for iOS and nowhere near as good for Android.

This is probably a stupid question, but I couldn't find an answer. Does this mean Google keeps all of its different products in all their different languages and environments in one repo? So like, Android lives in the same repo as Gmai

This is much more common in London than in the rest of the country. Thankfully.

How much amnesia are we talking about? Google's core feature of being the best web search engine fits into your "advertise a bit and rebuild the customer base" criterion imo.

If true, this is fine, as long as you are an engineer and talk only to other engineers. People from different backgrounds don't use email this way, though.

The UK doesn't have one either.

I'm surprised I had to scroll this far down to find mention of AppCode. The ESP edition is even free.

In London Uber is far cheaper than black cabs as well as having much, much better service. The better service probably guaranteed them some sort of market share there, but the price has given them a shot at permanent market dominance there

It's a means to an end for them in that it gets more people using their ecosystem, which means more personal data for them to harvest, which means ever-better targeted ads for people to click on, and ever-more-varied platforms on which

It's not at all, it's a rant on the massive disparity between server-side and client-side development.

I think you have the CIA and NSA's jurisdictions mixed up there.

In the UK we can do all that with debit cards, only there's no monthly bill to occasionally forget to pay.

Mobile web developers should already be used to testing their work on multiple different devices anyway. The deployed versions of WebKit differ quite significantly across the myriad of mobile devices on the market, and WebKit is just the la

Why does it have to be apps? The web experience on mobile devices is improving all the time. With all major smartphone platforms now sporting WebKit browsers, CSS3 media queries and HTML5 are widely supported in the mobile space. That enabl
