This is such a shame. I was pissed enough when they killed the desktop app. Why not just make the iPad version available on Mac? Continued enshittification at Meta. I don't care about privacy/encryption for my group…
I agree it's MUCH better than it used to be (and huge credit to Jen Simmons and her team for making this possible). However Safari APIs are still WAY behind Chrome/Android and I think this is probably intentional to…
While I'm a huge Svelte fan, this project hasn't really gotten very much care and attention over the last few years. Which is honestly fine. React and React Native I think do a much better job of filling the niche of…
It is. This is mostly a Svelte wrapper around NativeScript so it's really not equivalent
Classic! I remember convincing friends and family members that this was real when I was young. There was something incredibly fun and powerful being a child and able to fool adults who would believe anything they read…
I think exceptions are fine and that is what you could use inline or scopes styles for. Exceptions everywhere is problematic but having this sort of pattern could encourage better design
We get so much power from just setting global scoped styles like this it's so strange to me that more of these patterns aren't common or included in minimal css frameworks. With all the recent criticism of tailwind,…
I spent about half my year in Japan and half my year in Sweden and I speak both languages. It's always shocked me how many expats feel it's not necessary to speak the language but the justifications are totally…
I'm sorry but this is blatantly false also. The Commonwealth of Nations is a political association as stated in that article you posted but the member nations are not vassals and the queen does not serve as head of…
I had the absolute pleasure of studying both Theory of Computation and Ethics in the Age of Technology under Professor Rogaway during my time at UC Davis and no other professor in the department challenged me both in…
Certainly up there. It's impossible to say at this point. We will only know with the benefit of years of hindsight
This is impossible to know. Just because months after the outbreak China has managed to contain it, doesn't mean that there can't be a second wave of reinfection
Because unlike Google, Apple is a California and especially Cupertino centric company so most of their employees have probably never used mapping outside the confines of their car. Transit and walking directions are…
This is because US Cards have a Chip but no PIN. So the signature is the only "security measure". I've all but stopped using my US Cards for this reason unless the terminal supports contactless through apple pay
I live in Göteborg but there are other things than relative salary that make Sweden attractive. I think it depends a lot on what you want out of life. The US or Canada might be good for some people. If you want to…
It's a very different pace of work. I really loved working at a startup but there were some months where I was working 60-70 hours a week to get something shipped because runway was short. I learned a lot and had a lot…
Pretty much this but there are some gripes I have with Toronto as I posted above
It's all right but the housing market is absolutely insane. I was paying 1600 CAD for a 50 sq ft apartment. The public transportation was also awful. TTC is a joke. I also wasn't a big fan of the culture of the city.…
Left the states a few years ago. After a 2 years stint in Toronto at a startup I now work for a Swedish development agency in Gothenburg. 6 weeks of paid vacation, great public transit, and affordable housing all mean…
Yeah the Toronto tech job market is really hot right now. Moved there from Silicon Valley for almost two years but I wouldn't recommend it. Pay is much lower and cost of living is still relatively high. If you are…
