    For apps that run exclusively on brand new iPhone pro max's, sure. ...but seeing as that isn't the case.

    I think $5 is _beyond_ fair, considering every user will have dropped >$3k on hardware.

    I'm in the same situation as you (or was, until about a week ago). I'd been looking for a new contract for a couple of months and also had lots of enthusiastic calls with recruiter…

    I was hoping/expecting it would flag descriptions that don't mention a salary range, location or worthless perks. Maybe I'm jaded.

    I (sadly) don't play any mobile games for this reason. _Every_ game seems to revolve around engineering you to buy to speed up progress. It's just one step worse (maybe two) than e…

    Love the story. My first exposure to programming was through automating RSC. All I was doing though was writing scripts for SCAR. I think maybe in… pascal? I remember trying to lea…

    I have a 16" 2021 Macbook Pro M1. 1. It's great. I'm not sure I've ever heard the fans spin up. I've had very occasional glitches with sound when switching workspaces. 2. The only …

    I don’t think the demise of classic forums/self-hosted communities is a technical problem. There is no shortage of modern communities - as you say, Discourse is one of the most pop…

    I think they’re saying only backing up _data_ is not enough (S3, GCS). You need to be able to roll out infrastructure elsewhere to, in order to have somewhere to restore said data.…

    It's not a stupid question at all. They will most likely be rendering the page in full server-side. This is how things were done in the beginning, but also what a lot of websites a…

    I wouldn't say totally irrelevant. I've worked on many line-of-business applications and websites where the database is the bottleneck. People love to obsess over "what language?",…

    Sure you can. Look into 'load testing'.

    YNAB. I've used it for a few years (since YNAB 4). The automated import and categorization of transactions, combined with envelope budgeting is all I need. About as frictionless as…

    If they're going to make the leap of switching the render layer, I'm surprised the leap isn't to flutter (which is supposedly stable/ready for production web apps?).

    I've enjoyed using https://github.com/kyleconroy/sqlc on a couple of projects. Give it your schema and queries, get type-safe interfaces in return. It's a happy medium for me betwe…

    Sounds nice in theory, but won't you always be playing catch-up? Or will development(/bugfixes) halt on the existing python version? Would it ever be acceptable to the business to …
