The funny part about this is that even with all this technology the USSR would still have fallen, because Russia is a poor country geographically. Conformance enforcement only gets you more of the same behaviour. It denies access to variati

We are about to be called on to automate everything, because we are short workers. And we will be for a decade. That's what you get for replacing the worlds largest generation, the Boomers, with the worlds smallest generation, the Zoom

I'm curious which operating systems people are still waiting for. We have delivered Windows, macOS and Linux on stable as of Flutter 3. We don't have plans to add more, but people in the community are working on things like embedd

Fwiw, there is a viable work around. Android (and iOS) usage of the Google Maps APIs remain free. See the Mobile Native Dynamic Maps line on our pricing sheet: https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/pricing/sheet&#

This is a question of perception. Faced with something that doesn't make sense, a geek will see it as a challenge, a puzzle, a worthy adversary. Geeks love challenges. A lot of people don't. I have many people who have me on speed dial for

It was stupidly tl;dr. About the only audience this made it accessable to are the bored and those who like reading romance fiction.

I love that you call the whole operational transform library of wave "just the ajax parts." I almost fell off my chair laughing.

Work inside a large corporate and check the budgets for projects vs budget for IT maintenance. Upgrading browsers, as a project, has no board approvable ROI. This will change when there are applications on the internet that corporates need,

The thing that is bothering me about the Fake Steve Jobs piece is that Google aren't creating a new operating system. It's Linux, tuned for the tablet environment. If anyone knows about tuning Linux, it's the Google engineers, they tune Lin
