Disagree. There's various web standards that export to webp: web recording, video conferencing etc. [1] Apple have effectively veto'd a web standard, pushing developers and users into their ecosystem yet again. [1] https:/&#

I loved the Elm architecture even though I left it behind a couple of years ago because it developed into an explosion of files with a fairly large project. I hardly interacted with the community (although I think I remember that slack bot

All moves of Apple's towards privacy are tempered with the knowledge that smooth, successful webapps hurt the iPhone's business proposition. Apple want to move you closer into their walled garden with the prospect of enhanced priv

Re social distancing: Italians and Spanish kiss when they greet each other. They’re the worst hit in Europe.

You can hide that in a smaller widget called SomethingWidget(param:...) to make it more readable. From my experience, using the above style with its data binding is nicer than hunting through XML or whatever GUI you use and seeing how that

Please stop downvoting arguments you disagree with. There are a few bad posts, simply calling someone an idiot, etc. Good: downvote. But a lot are being downvoted because they express arguments that are disagreed with.

They have to accept the patch. Currently if you want a website that records audio, and you want an iphone user to use it, you have to make a native app, just what Apple would prefer.

And they control the web browser engines on iPhones. And keep those with fewer capabilities than native apps. See the HTML audio recording API for an example. Apple have a massive financial incentive to ensure PWAs aren’t as good as native

I tried Flutter a year or two ago after coding Android and iOS apps (to a lesser extent) for years and years. The dev experience was lightyears ahead of Android. Dart was nice fit. I came upon some edge-cases where Flutter's API seemed

Times are hard. Lie about your background. Say you worked in a cafe for many years, then learnt programming, then show them some projects you’ve done (simple websites etc) and attempt to get an entry level job. I know many people who found

It's symptoms are pneumonia-like and it mainly kills the elderly. Is this is a new strain of pneumonia? If so, this seems like an overreaction? Edit: Not sure what the downvotes are about. I asked a question. So you can't fight it

Constructive feedback useful. There are a few posts on here which are constructive. Point out some code you dislike? Okay, good. Comment on the general structure of the code. Okay, good. I know software devs, myself included, are often too

The thread is a case study in why not to open source your code: belittling feedback that serves little purpose other than to make the commenter feel good about themselves.

The internet offers superficial social interactions. It gives reasons to ignore the people in our surroundings. And them, us. We physically socialise with fewer people. Our social skills decline. We can choose to completely ignore those of

The link doesn’t say that though. And if it has happened, how would 'systems not working well' make it a paradox?

It's not much of a paradox surely. Those countries introduced equality systems because the imbalance. Now of course those same countries with the imbalance have those introduced systems.
