Mobile market is gigantic, Apple & Samsung make like 10x the money, they have much bigger teams. People don't buy a new phone every year. A lot of people buy $300 Android or previous generation iPhones. A lot of people still do mul

Used Vapor/Swift in production for a good 2 years. While Swift is really one of the best languages out there, unfortunately it didn't work out. The problem was being strongly tied to macOS & XCode, and every update may or may

In my experience: Sleep as much as you can. Most probably don't have the luxury, but best is to not use alarm clocks. Your body knows exactly how much sleep it wants and needs, and your thinking brain has no business coming up with arb

sure people will flood YouTube with their creations, that no-one will ever watch, but isn't that already happening kinda? Early with Stable Diffusion every creation was just "wow", now it's hard to even get someone to lo

It's pretty fast on a RTX 3070 (8GB), a few seconds per image. My first impression is it seems a lot more useful then DALL-E, because you can quickly iterate on prompts, and also generate many batches, picking the best ones. To get som

> As someone who bought a Steam Deck almost entirely for the purpose of handheld emulation And you seriously can't see the problem? The Steam Deck is direct competitor to the Switch, that also just happens to be the best Nintendo

Lots of Anti-DRM sentiment here, understandably. However, I think the big issue is the Steamdeck becoming a popular platform for Switch emulation. That's simply not ok. It's wild Valve can get away with this. I would think Nintend

Well there's a reason all the WYSIWYG UI editors died out. They are a quick way to whip up a passable UI, but usually turns out to be quite ugly under the hood, hard to reuse, and a pain to maintain. Delphi is really from a different a

Vegan delusions? Meat eating is overrated, most people have never even tried to stop eating meat for just a month. Most dairy things are pretty gross. You can easily live of a 90% plant based diet and eat as little as 12/kg meat a year

The problem is not people being tricked, but vegan food simply needs proper names. "Vegan steak" is not meat, so what it? What is vegan cheese? Could be anything. It's not very descriptive. When you see seitan or tofu, you kn

Yeah can't live without it anymore. It's already muscle memory to intuitively pausing typing, just waiting for Copilot to complete my line. Pretty good sense on what it should get right too. Knew this was gonna be a $10/month

I used to think so, it just sounds like it would be "the future", right? But realistically, what exactly is the appeal of it? The Metaverse? I mean, if no one can figure out how to make a fun MMORPG these days, what makes you thin

Because we humans have a lot of idle time. We feel like we're wasting it, and we feel we should instead spend time archiving goals, to better ourselves, to do something more meaningful. But that is not how life works. You are just un

It seems to be the other way around though. Modern scientists getting upset for schools teaching creation myths. To be honest I think it's a bit arrogant to say there's no value in these myth and dismiss them as nothing but fairy

To each their own I guess. But I'm with you, I got rid of my TV in the living room and put some house plants on the table instead. Now I just sit there in chill, no entertainment necessary. Sounds boring, but idk, I can just drink tea

I was on the same vein, but the petroleum and fish exports doesn't really fit so I was thinking UK first. In retrospect though I wasn't considering the total trade value, it narrows possible countries quite a bit, could make it a

It should be 0%. Catch up to what - for what? So we can go do some drone bombing in Africa like a proper western nation? Is that the plan? I guess it's easier to give the guys with the big guns what the want, instead of actually stayin

I don't think it's fair to blanket blame Flutter though. What you are noticing are poorly made apps. What you are not noticing are well made Flutter apps, that are almost indistinguishable from native apps. I guarantee you we al

A few years ago I would have agreed that the native subtleties must be a top priority for user experience, but these days I don't think it matters that much anymore. Flutter's UI can't match native components exactly, but the

not sure myself, but could be useful to make some quick visualization of some database. often I just want to know some random stuff, so I'll use a SQL query, this looks like a neat way to do that, get some graphs too.

Well Microsoft just released Age of Empires 4, which turned out surprisingly well, best RTS since Starcraft 2. I'd say chances we're going to see anything SC3 or WC4 related only went up by this. Maybe there will even be a WoW2 fi

This is just my subjective experience, but when I was first getting into node 6 years or so ago, it was pretty wild. Libraries would constantly make breaking changes, you couldn't count on things working for more then a month. JS is ve

Electron is huge. Wouldn't use anything else anymore these days, unless it absolutely needs to be native. JavaScript in 2021 also somehow turns out to be surprisingly usable. The ecosystem has really matured and people aren't chas
