Yes, in 1998 there were full fledged IDEs which allowed for GUI development. Delphi, Visual C++, Visual Basic Powerbuilder, NeXT Objects,.... I would actually say that it was easier to develop apps in 1998 than it is now.

There is a pretty decent framework (Genie) which can be used for building web apps, API backends with database connectivity etc. It is also quite well documented. https://genieframework.github.io/Genie.jl/dev/guide

Well, everything is connected - especially when it comes to injecting things into the blood stream consisting of bits of pieces of viruses and RNA. Is that even up for debate? and how is that fear mongering when it is just the most obvious

The Delphi IDE help was good but the printed Delphi manuals were just outstanding. I have fond memories of learning much through those manuals.

You can already directly draw using framebuffers etc. However, you will likely end up re-implementing widgets in any case, if your app gets more sophisticated. About UI, it is not necessary that it should be heavy and bloated. Lazarus IDE,

This is true. Low interest only helps if someone is buying up assets using cheaper credit or if companies are accessing cheaper credit for expansion, production etc. It does not help the people who are saving up in the bank. The common pers

The total population of brahmins is less than 6% in India. People from other castes - especially the tribals and the dalits (more than 40%), experience caste oppression regularly.

It is still very common in the cities. A survey from 2018 points to how prevalent it is in the urban regions - including in Delhi - even untouchability is practised in the cities. https://indianexpress.com/article/india

I am sorry but non-brahmins typically do not wear the thread. The thread ceremonies will not be held if you are not a brahmin.

This is blatantly untrue. The British only acknowledged the existing systems and codified it in parts of India. The brutal nature of the caste system has existed for millennia before this and is well documented. For instance, Buddha spoke a

Some of the drawbacks I have noticed with flutter: 1. One of the biggest problems with flutter is the IDE integration for the design aspects. In my opinion, the development experience is much worse than Xamarin, .NET/Mono, Delphi, Laza

EDIT: Removed the reference to SimpleJdbcTemplate. A good alternative (if you are using Java) is to use something like Spring's JDBCTemplate. This provides the following benefits over using Hibernate/JPA: 1. You craft the queries
