Well, I'm aware of the "expense" part and have no issue with it. It's one more thing to think about.

I'm more puzzled with the day to day differences...

In software it's - just software: code quality, making new features, fixing bugs, deployments, etc. Here it's much less software, more hardware and mostly it's organization-wide processes involving IT. Is this doable for someone who's been dealing with 99% of software related issues? Can transition happen?

I can't remember I have ever visited LRB site and I got pay-walled: "You have reached your free article limit".

Yeah, I get it re. the Lottie just the stats do not match my personal experience with Flutter animations. Still, kudos for the work; there's some really interesting data there.

> Developers did a great work btw.

Almost... They should have used native animations support for Flutter, not Flare, but nevertheless they did great job in general.

Yeah, but wouldn't the higher resolution mean a worse battery life at the same time? For such a dimension I wouldn't trade battery for resolution.

The Jelly 2 phone seems much more compelling than the Palm phone. Better in all areas.

Yesterday I wouldn't have said Apple, but now I'm almost certain it will be.

So, they'd be building their own integrated GPU. That was one of the biggest questions last few days, how they'd gap the graphics, but they are taking control over that as well. Good luck to them! Looking forward to see some comparison charts with Intel integrated graphics...

Yes, I have just figured that out. My experience was for the goods/services delivered outside the app.

That was the case in all the apps I've been involved with ("the service being paid for is delivered outside of the app"), so I probably did not pay much attention to the small letters.

Oh, I do. I don't like it at all as any payment through Apple costs way too much.

I was just opposing the statement that you cannot offer another way of payment in an iOS app, that part is just not true.

This is not totally true.

If you're using, say, Stripe for your payment processing then you can offer the user a choice if they'd pay through Stripe or Apple pay. If you do not have your own payment processor for mobile payments, then you use only Apple pay. If you do, then you have to include Apple as an option.

I've been releasing apps with this in the past few years, it's been a requirement all along.

Yes, I have posted that exact title but haven't noticed the cut until now. I hope the mods will be able to fix this.

Have heard praises about OCaml, but never tried myself.

Good luck!

Kudos for the work!

Out of curiosity: what is the inspiration for this and what's the goal?

Haven't heard that quote earlier, but it fits perfectly!

In theory, you can write another language frontend for the Dart VM, but it isn't being utilized a lot as I can tell.

Here's a year and a half old page describing the Dart VM's internals: https://mrale.ph/dartvm/

Also, here are two examples of different frontend add-ons for the Dart VM, although outdated: https://github.com/thosakwe/bullseye and https://github.com/jvasileff/ceylon-dart

I'm practicing with Dart for the past year and have just started trying to do some desktop programming, that's how I stumbled upon the link above. Desktop is still immature with Flutter, but is being worked on and I hope it will get a faster track from the team than web support.

I was managing several remote teams in the past and considering these days to do it again for a startup I'm working on.

Hiring process was always hard for me to predict the future cultural fit. People are basically "selling themselves" during the hiring process, willingly or not. Their behavior is not "as usual" during that time. I came upon just a handful of people who were the same during the hiring process and later on.

So, although I do pay attention to potential cultural fit (and get rid of the extremes), it is not mandatory. I try to understand how the person think regarding the position I'm hiring, how they do the work; to see if what they need in order to do their job can be provided by others and if their delivery satisfies the organisation they'll be joining. And that's it.

What is understood as the cultural fit shows up along the way and can be altered, like communication with the team members or clients/customers, commenting the code, attitude towards making mistakes, etc. If a person does valuable work, these are the things worth spending time about - it will pay off during the first crisis of whatever type.

What is also more important than culture to me is - trust. This is something that new hires need to work on themselves for the first couple of months, but they are aware of it since the day one. And once they do build trust by their team and the larger organization, the "culture fit" is natural.

So, tldr: pay attention more if the person will bring value to your organization. Recognition of that value would help fit better those who don't fit immediately. Before culture - build trust.

Not mine, I've got the URL over IM few minutes before posting it here

When both you and others around you agree on your seniority.

For you it usually happens when you start seeing fresh engineers around you going through issues you've past beyond long time ago. For others, when you start helping them with those same issues.

I wrote this on the duplicate topic here, copying as I believe it matters:

I know it is "never too late" for things like this to happen, but it's definitely late.

One of the main reasons for bad things to happen is the lack of education (which, in turn, leads to resist to change) and, therefore makes people prone to believe to unbelievable things.

Social platforms like Twitter should have long had things like "fact checking" ANY statements and should have restricting not only violence glorifying posts, but also the ones with racial or sexual discrimination and all the others .

It is late, but I like seeing it happen at least for the person with the most "glorifying" record in dividing a society.

I'm not saying every single opinion should be redacted (opinions should not be redacted - they are simply statements of who you are and what are your values), but (false) fact statements and clear/open calls for racial and sexual discrimination, etc.

I believe the person in question has crossed the line long time ago.

And Twitter should improve their fact-checking and restricting algorithms and apply it all the time.

Well, start should happen somewhere, no matter what those 80% consist of, then improve

Yeah, I agree, but they used main stream media which was also heavily polarized, offering one point of the view only.

Yeah, there's a difference between educated and knowledgeable. But I don;t agree on the reason of existence of the public education system - its not about the voter base, it's about improving not only yourself, but the society as well (as improving society secures in a way improvement of you and your offspring).

I don't find social media companies responsible for the user generated content, but I do find them responsible for making it damn too easy to spread fear and then doing nothing about it. Or, as in case of some, promoting the division.

I'm not saying it's easy, but effort should be made as it is important. If you see the real-time voice recognition on the new Pixel phone, the technology for this type of action might not be that far away.
