The alternative is a custom DSL for templating which I find much worse. Even CSS has a DSL for conditional and programmatic logic which I only use because of the immense performanc…

There is no purely fun way to build a production app. If there were everyone would do it. The hard part of building an app is the slog through the tedious parts. If you just want t…

Fair point! I've tried to learn and failed c++ 4 times (I knew C, python, typescript, java), I learned rust in a month after reading a 700 page book.

> Right and wrong isn’t defined by how copyright law is written right now It's a good thing I never mentioned right or wrong.

It's their engineering blog... This is what engineering blogs talk about and you are on hacker news where things like this are of interest.

It's completely different. The customizable fonts did not violate copyright.

What do Solid, Svelte and Vue bring to the table exactly? None of those frameworks solve the dataflow problem and the performance benefits they bring do not make a dent. Also why w…

> Not accounting for luck as a factor of success is one of my pet peeves. Why do you model life as a single bet where you have a 1 or 2% chance of winning? In reality you are makin…

No, if it was actually like monopoly there is 0 chance of succeeding once people have established themselves. You have a finite number of bets you can make in your life, if you was…

Ah yeah, you should have told that to my immigrant parents who came here with nothing.

One single platform for cross platform development is enough motivation and react native has improved a lot in the past year. The entire concept of developing the same app multiple…

It's going to take white collar jobs. The cost of batteries, motors, and steel makes replacing humans with robots not cost effective.

Can you prove the results are cherry picked? Android app quality being worse than iOS is my personal experience as well. There are many reasons for this too. Show us well known con…
