I've built apps with millions of users using flutter. Quicker, faster and easier for building cross-platform apps if you know what you are doing. This is coming from a native framework evangelist for many years, and then just tried flu

Ending USAID is the exact reason hundreds of thousands suffer more today than they did a few years ago. It is the reason mass migration takes place from developing to developed. The total ignorance and outright stupidity of comments like th

Who say's I haven't read it? Yet, Elgin still stole the marbles. Justified it by claiming the barbarism of the Ottoman's was to blame and he was only doing good, despite this being disputed. And hilarious as his removal cause

I judge people exactly how my moral's and principles determine they should be judged. People love to use "of the time" type quotes to excuse slavery for example, when in actual fact it was well known at the time to be despica

That's if you get caught. YOU won't get caught because you're smarter than that and you know what a plan is.

This is such an hilarious answer. For most of the non-Western world, we don't distrust China because they have created benefits for the developing world. Whereas the USA has been outright imperialist for the past 60-70 years, undermini

Your life doesn't end. Your perception of your life along this current trajectory and within this current system could end, but it could start you on another much more powerful path. I don't just mean this in relation to flock cam

Crap quotes like this is what people use to justify slavery, fascism, genocide, apartheid.

Or move to Europe/China/insert lovely tax haven here. They don't have to base their operations in the USA, they CHOOSE to. I will cancel my subscription because of this, and happily use DeepSeek/mimo or whatever else com

Ah this is great. One of my all-time favourite games, and I have coincidentally been making a hobby updated version lately to try out flutter web. Here it is if anyone is interested: https://dopewars-flutter.web.app/ Essent

You say I'm not even close to the facts when I can substantiate everything I have said based off released data. Let's go through your points - You make the claim that "official numbers on connection to water, electricity etc.

Literally no one said there isn't a problem. No one said that. But disagreeing about a 'state of decline' when the facts of the quality of improvement of the lives of the entire population has increased over a 30 year period

So you don't have links to back up your claims. What is also hilarious is ad hominem trying to call me a communist (which I am not), and shouldn't matter either way. But what is funny is how you decry the state of things currently

- Please share which communities rely on water trucks? - Loadshedding is no more. - The tax issue is precisely the problem that needs redressing and is primarily because of past injustices. You're almost there. - I have been treated in

In your example, because many businesses (majority white owned) have riparian rights and those who live on the land need equal access despite being historically disadvantaged from gaining access to said water rights.

I am white. I am surrounded by white people. The standard of living of just about every white person I know has increased in the past 25 years. It's really simple, we as white people have been given - historically and now - just about

Fascinating you say "a country that is in steady decline" when all the data of the past 29 years since the start of democracy seems to go against that statement. I hate the ANC for their corruption and other stances, but I don&#x2

Couldn't agree more! Not only is the studio kept so well, but the entire museum is a testament to the magnificence of art and architecture. The Miró Foundation in Barcelona is even bigger, equally exquisite and the sheer size is a monu

This is such an ignorant First World perspective - for reasons I've stated in other comments. It's mind-boggling there are people like yourself who see's the world in such a narrow vision. As if the Third World doesn't e

My problem with this is that it show's almost no forethought by those creating the app. If your goal is first an iOS app that you will develop into an Android app. Then why go this route? It doesn't solve any of the bigger cross p

Edit: I see you work for Skip, which I think you should state upfront. But I do understand your bias or blinders in assessing the tool. I get the benefit of being able to share business logic. That's not the issue at stake here. If it

In terms of forethought, I can't imagine anyone outside of the US/EU developing an app solely for an iOS user base other than creating an MVP. And then even still, once you have proof it can work why build something that intention

I'm not sure I see the point, other than this being aimed at first world (see US/EU) businesses who solely have iOS application's and want to convert those to Android. So if you only have Swift developers and didn't have

That's interesting, because I have had exactly the opposite experience testing GPT vs Bard with coding questions. Bard/Gemini far outperformed GPT on coding, especially with newer languages or libraries. Whereas GPT was better wit

Of course, I believe the climate crisis is the most important problem in the world. However I don't think former colonial powers have any right to say or rather lecture former colonised countries on their obligations, when the colonial
