This article doesn’t cover depreciation. Much harder to model but I’d assume quite important to consider.

I didn't go that far (every permission) but had the same experience.

I tried this and doesn't seem to work; though unclear what permissions I should be granting it, so possibly that is the issue.

There is an article about this based on a Chris Lattner talk/links to previous HN discussions: https://danielchasehooper.com/posts/why-swift-is-slow/

I assume RAM will also be a major constraint for on device ML; most Macs still default to 8GB (with absurd bumps in price to upgrade) so I'd guess some very high percentage of Macs sold in last 2 years are going to be quite bad for any

Releasing the (more) mainstream model “as early as the end of 2025” or about two and a half years from now seems pretty depressing if accurate. Allowing another year for some kind of volume of sales that might justify the development of app

Is there really a minimum of 3? It seems to offer a "Just me" option. I also noticed it seems to include something equivalent to a standard zoom subscription so this whole thing might save me money! PS A lot of the comparison tabl

The economic theory would be something like given lack of (senior) engineers, salaries should rise to expected marginal revenue. Conflating actual outcomes in real markets with economic theory is typically unhelpful.

As I’d guess most people spend most of their time in Chromium browsers and electron apps probably a case to make that ‘native’ in the sense you imply is Chromium!

Stateful hot reload is pretty awesome when doing UI work. On desktop that is pretty hard to find. Also, as a TypeScript/Swift/Kotlin person, Dart is fine; sure I’d like algebraic data types but overall it is good. The tooling (aut

Pretty misleading headline, as fourth paragraph: "But overall, the country is actually using less energy because of businesses being closed."

Today is a weird time to get into mobile app dev. The standard 'native' UI frameworks are pretty terrible in terms of how they cope with complexity and their ability to change over time with their dated OOP APIs. Though on both pl

I was addressing the comment and in no way claimed Android doesn’t have a hot reload solution.

For static layouts this can work pretty well. I think it is still typically a bit slower/more awkward. And often harder to change. (I actually have most experience with native Android.)

Please try out one of Flutter or React Native. I think you’ll be surprised how much nicer they are for anything like this. The code is certainly not cumbersome when compared to the equivalent XML. Also, in Flutter and React Native you don’t

This is exactly the kind of thing that is unnecessarily hard in non-React-like UI frameworks. XML definitely does not do this well! In React Native or Flutter I can just declaratively go from an array to rows of UI. It will be a few lines o

But a lot harder to address (probably effectively impossible). This is actually one of the best comparisons I’ve seen.

I’m not a huge fan of Dart (too OOP for my tastes), but if you know JavaScript or Java it is really easy to pick up. The only thing I struggled with are the required semi colons! I have spoken to people who have used it for backend code, th

"better tools for mocking in tests, ways to build custom lint rules": thanks to Elm being pure functional you don't really need mocking. And the amazing DX/tooling would make linting in style of JS completely unnecessary

Dart is designed to be uninteresting! But certainly Kotlin deserves a mention if Elixir makes it onto the list.

One other option not considered for employees: become contractors. Most mid to senior level people in London on 'standard' salaries could probably double their income.

A scaled resolution is now default on most MacBooks. I haven't noticed battery problems but certainly seen RAM usage at least double that of Chrome and considerably above Safari.

Dart is strongly typed and pre-compiled, at least when packaged. It can run in interpreted mode in development for live/hot reload: a major advantage over Swift. Flutter also provides a first class Reactive UI story: something sorely l

Yeah, as a developer I do find iOS and Android compelling: there are such low barriers to entry I can (and have) released games for both.

Does anyone else find the overwhelmingly positive coverage of Switch and its games a little puzzling? From a consumer's perspective I just don't get it. The Switch costs more than a vastly more powerful PS4 or Xbox One S. It (part

They should probably just remove it. Long press would almost always achieve same thing. And is slightly more intuitive.
