The omission of Swift here tells you all you need to know I think.

Edit: I misread this, but my point stands regarding Swift, it has a pretty big usage-reputation gap.

What about ftp? 🤔

Yesterday, for capturing URLs.

Look the issues with java.util.UUID and Postgres.

I found the if-blocks more concerning than the lack of parentheses. Although I would’ve preferred parentheses for better parity with Kotlin for the if-else blocks (instead of then).

Frontend for AOL that looks like regular desktop AOL but without all the ads and popups. If only because it’s something I doubt anyone would make before the EOL of Windows 10.

What if the suggestions have warnings like “experimental” or “unstable”?

What I mean to say is that Google isn’t invested in native android either. It’s been repeatedly strip mined by first-timers looking for a quick promotion and left to burn.

Things got so bad that Google gave up on native Views and created Jetpack Compose, which has been a source of many complaints related to performance.

In 2024 Flutter has instant hot-reload, and the “native” (but 100% bundled) solution still requires a complete reinstall on the device. In fact, Dart can compile to native code (or JIT) without an issue, yet Kotlin Native is barely in GA in the new compiler support has been lagging while the new compiler isn’t out of beta and is still poorly supported by tooling.

Consider the absurdity: React Native is the only true native framework out of RN, Jetpack Compose, and Flutter. And all of this barely scratches the surface of the tooling problems that Flutter 99% avoids by allowing development on desktop, web or iOS simulator.

I won’t be recommending that anyone use Dart or Flutter on new projects.

You seem to think Google cares at all. Android has been languishing and Flutter is lightyears ahead. KMP is junk compared to what Flutter has accomplished with a fraction of the bells and whistles.

I just hate reading it. I wish it looked more like Kotlin and less like JavaScript 😭

It’s weird, we tried having a small group of people control the flow of capital and it was unpopular each time. Let’s try it again but call it something different or say it was something else when we tried it before.

Microsoft Word for my resume. I’m not sure what I can do to change that, I don’t want to risk a(n accidentally) badly formatted resume losing me an opportunity…

You can also use Intellij Ultimate, the only big missing features are project config if you have mismatched versions of Gradle/AGP/Kotlin as well as the profiler.

It can depend. Sometimes sprawl is car-centric because it’s heavily developed with no alternative, but sometimes there’a a lot of undeveloped land in between things.

I usually visit my closest city for one of two reasons: 1) I have some kind of appointment or 2) I know some who lives there. Right now I’m able to drive there and park on the street. What should my alternative be once the city is “hostile” to cars? Remember, I live 30+ minutes away by car and take a highway to get there.

No they didn’t. They tore up railroad lines and got rid of reliable public transportation. You claim to support the environment, but you’re talking about replacing undeveloped land or farmland with a train. There isn’t enough traffic here to saturate a normal 2-lane road, much less a damn train.

I live somewhere that never had anything but car infrastructure. Should I ride my bike across a 5 line intersection to go to the mall? And before you suggest my local government install a light rail from my house to the mall, I’m surrounded by farmland.

Some of us live in places that used to be country and are slowly turning to sprawl. Public transport will work when you bulldoze an area the size of a small country and start over.

I think there’s this misconception that the US is basically NYC or dirt-road farmland, and the reality is that there’s a lot of in-between. I live <20 minutes from the closest mall by car, yet even transportation or food delivery apps (e.g. uber, uber eats) essentially don’t serve my area, so forget public transportation.

I’m curious why you believe one needs to be a multimillionaire to enjoy Niagara Falls?
