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).

scenario that the new working paper, yet to be peer-reviewed, states will come with an enormous economic cost. A 3C temperature increase will cause “precipitous declines in output, capital and consumption that exceed 50% by 2100” the paper states.

Is this journalism?

This is a stupid answer, but you could buy a cheap android phone. The carrier-locked phones are very inexpensive.

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.

I’d still prefer code over a DSL. In fact, I just like Flutter. Hot reload and no fighting XML-as-a-DSL.

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

Well, forgiving a bunch of debt without fixing the problem isn’t going to stop the leak. You can fully expect that bailing out debtors will result in lenders offering riskier loans they expect to be forgiven. With schools turning into a debt-selling industry, buying that debt from private lenders using public money would be robbing not only the tax payer, but also the next generation of the opportunity for an education. You can’t buy your way out of problem that isn’t caused by cost (hint: greed).

All that to say, there should be debt caps on education before any kind of broad forgiveness. Or just federally subsidize up to a certain amount and then no one will go to pricier schools except those who can afford to without hardship.

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.

Not to be that person, but in the USA, companies are people.

It’s really neat how many no_std I’ve seen popping up lately. I’m hoping stuff like Hermit takes off and we can finally stop worrying about Log4Shell or cURL.

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 😭

I like the approach Jetbrains has taken with extension libs to add functionality that could’ve been in a bloated standard library.

I just don’t see the point in spreading misinformation. I have had almost entirely bad experiences with HP, but that doesn’t mean I go around spreading lies.

I’m not glad that I keep seeing it. They were using managed printing i.e. pay-per-page. HP may make garbage and overcharge for ink, but I’m sick of people tapping the up arrow on low effort posts like this.

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…

As someone who switched from another domain to tech, I suggest trying to reason through your hesitation to switch away. Do you want to stay in tech because you like tech or because you’re afraid of “giving up”?

In my other domain, I worked hard and did OK, but not stellar. In tech however, it’s a completely different story. The other domain was “cool”, and I don’t regret what I learned along the way, but tech clearly comes easier to me compared to someone doing well in the other domain.

You need to be honest with yourself before you make the decision to switch. Are you running away from tech or towards something else?

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.

Wow this is awful on mobile lol

How do you feel about Kotlin?
