Agreed, but I'd also argue that 99% of people don't care about what the processor is. It seems even the basic GUI of Android can't do things that iPhone was doing in 2007. (Live resizing of app windows, realtime view blurring

Thanks but no thanks. Contract work overwhelming benefits the employer. Also, spam.

Crazy how far ahead the iPhone is over every single Android phone. I moved over years ago because of the horrible hardware, lower-quality apps, and lack of support. Seems like this trend will continue.

Such a conceited, inaccurate comment. It's quite obvious the various topics are open-ended and I fail to see how things like alternative energy generation or waste management are myopic "white guy" problems.

One could argue that these progressive "affordable" housing initiative actually make the problem worse. This is a supply problem, plain and simple. Every major city has huge zoning roadblocks and "affordable" regulations

Your base argument is hugely flawed. Take a second look.

What state has the most people and largest economy? Ok.

Yeah for sure. Because you still have to deal with the native things like Xcode/gradle/swift/etc I'd actually prefer a super simple declarative UI framework that lies on top of whatever native solution you pick. Writing

Seems fair. What ended up pushing me back to 100% native was the lack of a robust navigation solution for RN. Every community library had its own compromises that, in the end, were not worth it. That and most libraries are still in javascri

Metro cost a small, small fraction of what highways cost. It transformed a dying, dangerous city into the one we have now. There is no subsidy that isn't comparable to roads or bridges. I don't own a car, yet my taxes go to highwa

Sorry I don't think you're correct here. There is a ton of wasted space here. https://imgur.com/a/COfKBYM Definitely room for an actual menu there. Either way, a hidden hamburger menu makes 0 sense on a deskt

It seems to trigger even on non-mobile devices. If I shrink my viewport to a normal width (900ish pixels) the entire site is basically unusable. :/

Why do sites continue to use the hamburger menu??? (and also hide the menu if we don't decide to allocate 1200px of real estate to basically empty website!?) Such a bad UX for discoverability. Here's what I see: https:/&#x2F

Seems like it could work. Nonsense local policies to encourage "affordable" housing like inclusionary zoning have been huge failures. In big cities, we just need way more housing. Yet NIMBYs fight it at every step, esp in SF.

Companies have no legal or moral obligation to fix the housing crisis. Gentrification is, as a whole, a good thing. Nobody has a right to live in a specific neighborhood cheaply. Such social planning/engineering is destined to have cou

I would argue that complex tools like this really have no place on the web. The benefits (available anywhere) are greatly outweighed by the cons (slow, no integration with your system, browser crap, ads, etc etc etc)

The future of javascript - decided. Any reasonably large JS project crumbles under its own weight. TS fixes all this. So glad to see it move forward.

Same thing with housing, with no end in sight. :(

The fact that one of those phones exist anymore speaks to how incorrect this statement is.

Ah, the daily "new css/html framework that nobody asked for and nobody needs" post.

Great, another way to create huge, slow, bloated "native" apps. It confuses me that slack, with their hundreds of developers, cannot build a native piece of software that doesn't require 10+ seconds to init.

Uh, what do you think a downpayment is? It's proof you can provide the money promised/you are responsible with money...

Someone finally gets it! This is exactly what I've seen as horrible as a Slack user. Zulip looks great!

Correct. Most popular libraries have them, though. Even if they aren't TS. Speeds up development a lot when you have them, though!

There are two ways to fix a supply/demand curve. Increase supply or decrease demand. Obviously increasing density would require more transit options and infrastructure. Not parking. Last time I checked, NYC was still one of the most di

Senate Bill 827 would have helped a lot of this. Unfortunately it was killed by "affordable" housing advocates and other NIMBYs.

Eliminating the entire keyboard for a touchscreen would also be "clean". Clean != good. These are tools, not pieces of art.

Force real human verification for real accounts, and then create a bot/computer/AI account for the bots that people actually use. Human verification is a solved problem for the most part.

Verifying humans is a solved problem.

Crazy that Twitter still sells ads and soooooo many of the accounts are bots. They have an obvious interest in inflating the total numbers. It's a super, super simple problem. If they really cared, they'd eliminate bots entirely.
