This may be a lot more viable today than it would have been in the past when there were huge compatibility issues between browsers (e.g. which IE version does the user have on their system?). Especially with the Chromium-based Edge in the f

As far as I know, Dart still has all types nullable by default, which makes it easy to run into problems with things like initialization (not realizing that a thing may still be uninitialized at some point / only loaded later) or just

Flutter itself seems nice, but Dart as a language is a pretty big downgrade from TypeScript. For mobile right now, the easiest, most headache-free solution may actually be to forget about cross-platform and just do separate Android and iOS

I just ran that. It took a long time, and the progress bar showed fetching 1381 packages. Definitely https://i.redd.it/i428f2ki0ho01.jpg . However, the resulting `package.json` only shows 3 dependencies: react, react-dom and

Why would create react app add more run-time dependencies? Isn't that just Babel and stuff used for building? Also, with TypeScript, Babel becomes completely unnecessary. I haven't used it in any of my React projects for years. Ma

You can buy a cheap sensor, like the MH-Z19B, connect it to a Raspberry Pi Zero W (or just about anything else), and set a reminder to open the windows once the value rises above some threshold. Or just buy a finished product for this somew

One difference is that you can just use data directly as it comes from the net (or combine it with any other data in your application). You don't have to wrap it in models like this https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtquick-m

My point is that in environments like old-school Delphi or VB, or even with frameworks like Qt, those things take way more effort and boilerplate code than they should. For exapmle in Qt you have to either subclass QAbstractListModel or use

None of that matters when once you need to display a list of items (where every item has its own group of UI widgets), you have to start dealing with a whole bunch of clunky model wrappers, and even basic features like sorting and filtering

Right, but doesn't it also provide some very basic level of abstraction that things like network stack implementations can target? And then many projects also come with their "standard" (not bundled, just designed for) set of

"Code completion" can mean many different things, from very basic features to more advanced ones. Many "lightweight" tools I've seen lack the more useful parts and offer only really basic completion. For example if

Windows does have its flaws (e.g. the useless built-in search), but its window management and taskbar UI is the best of any OS I've ever seen - the live previews on hover, the way it interacts with middle click just like browser tabs&#

On a custom ROM, sure. That's why games like Pokemon Go blocked them. Using it as a daily driver is not advisable though.

The same can be said about just about any software (plus again, AS is an exception, a typical IDE doesn't use anywhere near that much RAM - only few hundred MB to low GBs). Everything is bigger these days - web browsers show bigger web

Plenty of games used to be written like this, where you basically had a C (or C++) OpenGL ES platform independent code base, and then a bunch of small platform-specific parts for the different OSes. They did usually have tiny pieces of code
