I work in this field and this is exactly true

Yeah I agree. I used to try and be good at all three but dropped android and now just focus on web and iOS (for both day job and hobby stuff). Keeping up with android wasn’t fun for me anymore

Wait the base price of the Macbook Pro isnt for M1 Pro? That is confusing as hell. EDIT: The base $2000 new Macbook pro does come with a M1 Pro on the US apple Store....

You’re missing the part where apple only allows users to install apps through that App Store

by rhodysurf 5y ago
I’m in the US. iOS is wayyyyy more important or else I’d have 50 users of my app instead of over 2000. Android has a lot of documentation but there are so many more layers to Android development than iOS. On top of that, the best practices

Yea for sure, it’s a lot like swift being protocol oriented too. It’s a major paradigm shift I have to enforce in my head manually still at this point tho

I like rust a lot, but coming from C++ and python there are times inheritance saves so much time enabling quickly creating small variations in classes. In rust you have to duplicate all the base logic, or abstract it to another common type

I very much disagree that Android is easier to learn and iOS. The iOS SDK is incredibly simple to get started with compared to android. Dealing with extensions on iOS is really hard, but creating apps involves so much less boilerplate than

I’ll give two reasons. First, code bloat, expo bundles allllll their default libraries along with your app when packaged for release. Second, is flexibility. The most powerful part of react native is that it displays native views and with e

Nail on the head with the mixing of standards. Every FORTRAN codebase Ive had to use at work always has a mix of 77, 90, and even pre 77 code mixed all together

Whistle is pretty good tho and I have been really happy with the functionality for the price.

Second this, reading her work is how I was able to build some really cool things using those ideas. Once you get it, it really unlocks the potential to create some unique things

Counterpoint. If you set string routines and boundaries, your first point is no longer valid. The only reason your sleep schedule drifts is due to having no hard routine, which you can create for yourself. For instance, I have always walked

You can just use D3 for the layout work and render with an SVG in react and it works really well.

Exactly this. You can produce software that is compatible with a RHEL version without paying for RHEL if you’re not even using it

I worked in defense for a while. Every DoD contractor is locked to RHEL version that their DoD targets use as end users. But they don’t need to pay for RHEL support currently because they all just use CentOS instead. This forces all of thos

Some small DoD S&T/R&D contractors have similar culture, but they can be hard to find.

Yeah I expected a segfault too... but it didnt happen for me and printed fine so I was confused.

by rhodysurf 6y ago
So thats what I initially thought but then I ran it and it works so IDK anything anymore.

OK i'll bite. What's wrong with this? It functions as expected or am I missing something. Edit: NVM, for those wondering the std::string constructor copies the string when it doesnt have to. But the solution here is to just initia

Counter point, chromebooks are now fully capable Linux machines through containers and it’s fully supported by google

Yeah I’m passively searching for jobs, and being 1.5 hours from Boston without wanting to commute, I have found way more opportunities now because company’s are way more open to full remote or partial remote cuz I’m only an hour away. At th

On top of that... you have to use proc macros to do any kind of annoying repetitive implementation of traits. But to do that, you have to add another crate, then you have to possibly make another crate if you want to share any code with the

It allows you to be generic over things that arent types is my very dumbed down description of what it means for most people. One of the biggest missing features for me from C++ doing scientific computing.

Sadly, It does not. I have thought about how to do it and its a lot of work and time I don't currently have unfortunately. Part of the reason I hope this project continues to make something like this easier

I created an extension for GNOME a while ago to add custom multitouch gesture actions on a workspace scale which seems a while off for this project: https://github.com/mpiannucci/gnome-shell-extended-gestures I would l

It definitely is old, but a lot of the points still stand with respect to swift syntax. Anyway I was trying to use swift for things outside of iOS work to share code and it wasnt worth it, is what I'm really getting at. So agreed on yo

For a while I was looking aggressively at using swift everywhere, but then I tried rust and read this https://v4.chriskrycho.com/rust-and-swift.html and gained a new respect for Rust and have been using it whenever I can si
