    SwiftData is just a framework that you can choose to ignore and not use at all. Even CoreData. You can go straight to the source, and use some small layer on top of SQLite, and ign…

    Just use manual layout / frames dude, like a caveman. (ps. Many successful large apps do just that, including Instagram, and some of Spotify, where I worked).

    Dude, you didn't describe MVC at all, but MMVC. MVC, the controller is the intermediary between the services/data models, and the views. That still one of the best / simplest way t…

    You are applying a one way arrow to events where in real life events do change state and can completely change UI (and functions) itself. Which makes imperative always the superior…

    I agree with you. Swift should have been a modernized Objective-C. It should have kept the best parts of it, which made it a joy to use, and leave the archaic and the weird things …

    Maybe for you. But SwiftUI promise was to make coding UI easier for the programmer similar to ReactN, but with AI coding that is not necessary anymore, you can go straight to UIKit…

    SwiftUI it is the type of framework that makes the easy things easier to accomplish but the harder things harder. It is a newbie trap. It is great at producing simple apps, or thin…

    They also got so greedy that even EA couldn't deal with them anymore and they ended up destroying the Fifa videogame franchise

    They are racist, and unfortunately hard core israel supporter, which makes anybody that doesn't go with that agenda as a target. The moment that Mandani said he will stay home and …

    French foreign services said they discovered this, but they haven't made all material they know public. They say the contacted the NY/US authorities with what they know. Do you thi…

    Number 1 problem is battery weight though. Not electric motors. I have a 84 w123 300D, and would love to add some more power to it. Lightweight hub motors would be great, but any d…

    AI Coding is great helper but not a substitutue for producing decent looking apps. Anytime I let lose AI (Both Codex and Claude), they end up producing slop that is overcomplicated…

    LMAO, this thing is so ugly. It looks like a generic Chinese EV. Interior looks good, but the exterior is just a boat. 5.05m long, 2m wide, 5000lbs heavy. Looks like a mix of the J…

    I worked at Instagram during this (not at the EeE, but saw enough of it, to see that it was a mess). I think the reason for dropping it, is more of a technical issue and user exper…

    You are not getting it. There are plenty of cars that have 600+ hp and are manual. The Ferrari Roma, or Amalfi, are within that 600hp - 800hp range. Simply, the new leadership thin…

    I wish Ferrari would bring their manuals back. Their gated manual was such a joy to use. There is probably enough demand (look at the used prices, where manuals sell 40% more), but…

    It is basically a Mustang body on a tesla chasis... which misses the point of having a classic car. While there is nothing wrong with converting your classic car to electric, if th…

    Whoever designed the modern version of it, did an awesome job. Modern porsches (past 2000) have gotten a bit too boring, and it needs to be bring some more color in their line up.

    I left Meta a while ago... but these layoffs (multiple rounds every year) have been very demoralizing to the folks there. I survived all three rounds of layoffs, but I saw multiple…

    Agreed on your points. This conflict, just validated the North Korea style of strategy to all regimes out there. It does the opposite of what it is intended. I hope things do get d…

    What are you talking about? The strait was open, and tankers were not paying tolls as they do now. They held the threat of closing it, as a deterrent of an attack, and once attacke…
