    My frustrations with Rust. Why is this the most loved language?

    Jump

  • If your primary exposure to programming is only typescript or JavaScript maybe you shouldn’t be jumping straight into something like rust. JS is a high level language and rust is aimed at the lower levels where things can’t be as automatic. There are many languages out there like C#, Kotlin and Swift that will help you get used to the idea of strong types and immutability.

  • A second edition of clean code is being written

    Jump

  • Such a polarizing book. I like it but I tell everyone that I recommend it to, to not go to the depths that the book recommends. Never go full Clean Code.

  • Quantum Lock suspends sales due to developers losing access to source code

    Jump

  • The reflog is your friend in situations like that.

  • Is there a sentence case modifier for the text component in Swift?

    Jump

  • I think there might be something to do that in Foundation. You would have to cast to an NSString to access it though. I might be mistaken and there’s only a title case method. Sentence case is easy minus the not converting proper names to lower case problem.

  • Trump says he is open to restrictions on contraception before backing away from the statement

    Jump

  • I would argue that Biden can say and do plenty of crazy things as long as he never goes full Trump.

  • Google lays off staff from Flutter, Dart and Python teams weeks before its developer conference | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • It was originally meant as a better JavaScript and it was. It failed when none of the other browsers expressed interest in supporting it. It languished for a while and then was taken up by the Flutter team. At the time Flutter took it up it was somewhere around the level of Java 8 in features but not quite on par. Since then it’s seen some massive improvements to the type system and language. It’s completely null sound, not just null safe like Kotlin. It recently got records/tuples and one of the more capable pattern matching syntaxes I’ve ever seen in a functional imperative hybrid language. The next stable version of dart will introduce a compiler macro system that is very promising. The syntax isn’t always the prettiest due to it trying to not totally break old code. I do think that it offers a wide range of modern language features that competes heavily with Swift and Kotlin in the mobile space.

  • Why is Matrix mentioned more often than XMPP in self hosted forums?

    Jump

  • The only things JSON has over xml is that it’s easier to write a parser for it and the format is less verbose and less complicated. There are extensions to JSON that can add features that xml has and the JSON spec doesn’t have. Overall the xml spec is bigger and has more features but that also makes it overkill for many of the cases that it would be used in.

  • He’s not going to jail yet. Those are other criminal cases.

  • Should I iOS…

    Jump

  • I’m going to sound very negative here and it isn’t because I don’t like open source software. I use it and contribute to it. The problem with OSS apps is that they get cloned by people who don’t care about the license and repackaged with predatory subscriptions or with malware. In the case of malware these lowlifes go out on sites like Fiver and offer to pay unsuspecting developers to distribute the app. If the app is downloaded even once, that developer now faces a lifetime ban from distributing Android apps. I suspect similar things happen on the App Store. It’s just more visible in the Android forums I follow than it is in the iOS ones.

    I have seen stories of oss apps being cloned and then Apple mistakenly not letting the original dev upload updates because the app has been flagged in their system as being a spam app or built from a template. This is usually correctable with enough email to support.

    My recommendation is to keep your app closed source on both platforms. If you want to contribute to the communities, release a library or contribute to one. If you want to show How to write an app, make something minimal and trivial like a todo list. You can also create a blog.

  • The GOP Is Too Scared to Let South Dakota Vote on Abortion

    Jump

  • They tried like hell to keep it off of the ballot in Ohio because they were afraid of what did happen. I can’t say if all of the dirty politics influenced people who were unsure how to vote in the opposite direction the GOP intended. Statistically speaking the final vote wasn’t even close. That is what they fear.

  • Samsung does an Apple with its first Snapdragon X Elite laptop, suggesting the new Arm-based Windows machines aren't going to be a cheap alternative to x86

    Jump

  • Or it is just corporate greed. Samsung would love to position something that is just okay into a premium price tier and not have to pay Intel. Sure they’re going to pay Qualcomm instead but you can bet that Qualcomm is giving some great introductory prices to their early partners.

    Jump

  • Any program written for the .net clr ought to just run out of the box. There’s also an x64 to ARM translation layer that works much like Apple’s Rosetta. It will run the binary through a translation and execute that. I have one of the windows arm dev units. It works relatively well except on some games from my limited experience.

  • The NYPD Spent $150 Million to Catch Farebeaters Who Cost the MTA $104,000

  • Have you ever driven through a small town and seen a police car sitting right where the speed limit drops? Those tickets and the kangaroo mayor’s courts are the only reason some of those towns are still alive.

  • Microsoft is ending support for the Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA)!

  • I would guess that it has more to do with the Amazon App Store. The catalog is not very big and just a fraction of what the Play Store is.

  • Windows 11 to Drop Android App Support in March 2025

    Jump

  • Recently I made an app using Flutter that I tried to distribute over the Windows Store. I was unable to get past the company verification process despite having whatever I needed. Their backend management site is pretty bad. Eventually I got stuck in some loop where the page would just keep refreshing endlessly. The tax form site which is separate wraps another site in an iframe. I decided to set it aside for a while because the app is also in the Amazon store. If I can conjure up the energy I’ll fight that beast again.

  • Frozen embryos shouldn't be considered people, two-thirds of Americans say

  • I’m all for it as long as the federal tax credit for fourteen children outweighs the storage costs. It’ll be nice to still claim that one when I’m in my nineties. /s in case it wasn’t clear.
