why are you posting

I don't think it's exclusively due to rust but it's a very cool change

can only imagine how much wailing and consternation it must be causing in some areas

we had a poster here a while back that had an experience (a friend of theirs did a low-effort "happy birthday" prompt to send to them), but it looks like the thread is gone because they're moving their account

extremely fucking oof that it's a one-click button next to the input

Man, I didn’t even know how to react to this nonsense

same way as other nazis - boop 'em on the nose

I'd be willing to wager a guess that this fragile little flower has never had a "physical altercation" in their life and would walk away with fucking ~ptsd from a single "hey that shit is not okay" boop

this hints at is that these people are dumb and fundamentally incurious

if you're talking about eigenrowboat, I don't think I agree. they're quite curious, but they "just" go in with a particular viewpoint and a desire to "prove their point" in the most prevaricating way possible. it's no accident that the entire sphere of "how do we make scientific racism and nazism more socially palatable" gravitates around these fuckers. if you're instead talking about them making these comments in a "see the poor are dumb and useless and thus deserve what they get", well, see aforementioned shitty opinions

aww, is the poor baby missing that maybe there's people who don't want to talk to them because of how much of a piece of shit they are? how sad

lefty approach of using generational insolvency as a pretextual cudgel to install socialism

this dipshit continues to make the most astounding not-even-wrong posts. guess they're angling for a job as the next Noahpinion or Yglesias

yep yep - didn’t mean to argue with your post inasmuch as to fill in details to the fork, but I guess I could’ve been clearer about that

that android project of some months was a venture into flutter (and haven’t touched it before)

I had similar impressions on some things, and mixed on other

dart’s a moderately good language with some nice primitive, tooling overall is pretty mature, broad strokes works well for variant targeting and shit

libraries though holy shit the current situation (then) was a mess. one minor flutter sdk upgrade and a whole bunch of things just exploded (serialisation things in nosql-type libraries I tried to use for the ostensible desired magic factor (just went back to sqlite stuff again after)). this can’t have been due to sdk drift alone, and felt like an iceberg problem

and then the documentation: fucking awful, for starting. excellent as technical documentation once you grok shit but before that all the examples and things are terrible. lots of extremely important details hidden in single mentions in offhand sentences in places that if you don’t happen to be looking at that exact page good luck finding it. this, too, felt like inadequate care and attention by el goog

I imagine if one is working with this every day you know the lay of the land and where to avoid stepping into holes, but wow was I surprised at how much it was possible to rapidly rakestep, given what the language pitches as

I know a bit about qgis + wfs (and surroundings)? enough to be dangerous tho

that’d be an interesting experiment but also that’s $2400 you could spend on more useful things, like bootstrapping your whiskey collection

classic warning case of someone getting high on their own supply

didn't you know? kids exist in perfect social isolation taking social cues only from their parents and no other information or humans they have contact with! and it's not like parents have issues either, right? I mean who'd have issues and then go pop out some kids?! madness

(utter and complete /s ofc. the aforeposter in question is the intended recipient)

mm I wonder what kind of content they'll want to use that for
