My knowledge of SQLite features kind of got frozen in time when I stopped doing python work as frequently as I used to a few years ago. I recall lamenting that I couldn't use their fancy new features because I was more or less constrai

I'm hardly the Dart Defense Force, so I'm not about to justify all their choices, and I share a lot of your annoyances, especially re: threads, data classes, and tagged unions, but what does people using List<int> have to do

You and me both. I've spent the past few years rewriting a UWP app into Flutter, and really enjoy the experience. I desperately, desperately don't want to have to go back to web development. I hate the DOM so much.

The slander in this thread against Top 40 is depressing if not unexpected. The music sounds good, what's the problem? Musical elitism is one of the oldest of the modern tropes, and deserves no attention paid to it.
