Flutter is very good. Therefore Dart.

Throughout the entire 2008 crisis, the payment networks never stopped functioning. Not for a day, not for a minute.

Iceland is very much at this forefront. The payments infrastructure is operated by the local banks (directly or indirectly), not by Visa/Mastercard.

Sure, you do what you want, no one is stopping you. But I guarantee you'd be amazed of just how quickly you could go from installing the Flutter plugin into VS Code to actually developing a fully hot-reloaded app inside an iOS emulator

Dart is a really efficient language to compile down to native. Javascript/TS will never be that. And in what sense it is hypocrisy to compile?

Dart is fine. Way better than Java. So don't let that stop you, you will pick it up in no time.

Dart + Flutter is for building native iOS and Android apps. Fuchsia will surely be a target in the future, but it is not THE host for Flutter apps.

Dart + Flutter compiles down to native ARM code. Don't know what the memory profile is but could be promising.

Have you actually done it? I have, a team of 10 to 15 programmers building it for over an year (SPA, deployed on web, iOS and Android), and now I lead a team of 5 programmers maintaining it and developing new features. I will gladly pay the

The complexity and maintenance costs of developing a real-world application in standard JS are also real.

Prettier stopped working for me for 2 weeks some months ago. Least productive 2 weeks for me for a long time. The cognitive load it costs to worry and fret about code formatting.... (thank you)

Sadly, the reason PoW works as a way to provide a trustless system that functions as long as 51% of the power is neutral, the solution has to be completely random and unpredictable. Otherwise the operator with the most powerful rig would ou

I get the relationship between the smelters and the power industry in Iceland, but despite that industries problems (I am not a fan) at least there is some economic activity going on there. With mining, essentially we are building damns and

Judging from your comment Im assuming you do not live in Iceland, apologies if Im wrong. The reality is that there are only a handful of energy providers in Iceland capable of providing the energy at this scale, Landsvirkjun being the large

Im already here. And the problems with smelting dont negate the idiocy (imho) of mining.

Clean energy can not grow indefinitely in Iceland, there is only so much water falling so many meters. There may be other methods involving steam and earth warmth that Iceland may be uniquely competitive in, but that is going to require the

You are assuming that mining for crypto is a useful thing to begin with. Not everyone agrees with you. And many here in Iceland are not enamoured with the idea that we should build more damns and loose more waterfalls so some people can get

The crux of the issue isn't mentioned until the very last paragraphs of the article: "One particular concern is cryptocurrency mining—a processor and electricity-intensive computing process for generating currencies such as bitcoi

And is it anymore than other big corporation? That pages lists 24 products, which doesn't seem that much to me. There have been plenty of stories about retired products at FB, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, etc. Im not disputing that Google

This knee-jerk-ism is tiresome. There are plenty of products that Google has retired, and plenty of products that Google has continued to invest in. Just like any other big corporation. (acquisition still running, top of my head: Google Doc

I did listen to the podcast. Galloway's view is IMO pretty much the old media perspective: If only the media had banded together, Google and FB would have been forced to pay for the content and old media would have been saved. He compl

How would the users blacklist the miners using the newer inflationary protocol? Is it even possible? By design, the longest blockchain wins, and that would be the one with the inflation if the majority of miners agreed.

Would you recommend it as an audio book, or are the visuals essential?
