In that case it would probably make more sense to just use NativeScript instead of React Native. https://www.nativescript.org/ …

I usually only upgrade to a major OSX version when the next version comes out. I broke that rule with El Capitan because Yosemite was so fucking broken.

> why isn't Allo just Hangouts 3? From what I've read Allo will become the casual messaging app, and Hangouts for work. Google probably wants to compete with Slack and similar offers. I w…

I'm also seriously considering moving away from macOS after a decade. The hardware situation is ridiculous and macOS isn't as stable and streamlined as it used to be.
comment
Yes it is, but automatic indentation is awful. I switched back to Atom just because of that.
comment
They? Atom is a collaborative effort, you can fix that yourself.
comment
Could you expand on that? Is it a matter of efficiency like running graphics calculations on a CPU?
comment
I meant laptops, mobile devices, etc. Sure, these things are huge today, but we have now in our pockets more power than was available in a Cray super computer from the 80s.

How long until quantum computing will be available in consumer equipment?

Why is React performance slowing?

Cycle doesn't look so good from those benchmarks tbh

So this is how magic happens

Anyone (probably) with a few tools and some wood can build a dog house. But you need real pros to build a skyscraper.

I know this is purely anecdotal, but nobody around me with an iOS device uses Messages. Everyone is using Whatsapp, or Telegram.

Yep. Macbook + Android here.

It's not about quantity, but quality. People are complaining because these new features are (mostly) unsubstantial gimmicks.

Nailed it. Any app or service that isn't cross platform has no real future.
comment
Couldn't agree more. We are building a product that runs on iOS, Android, Web, Desktop (using Electron) and Chrome OS, with Firebase, React, and React Native. A lot of code is shared among all pl…

The idea is great for many reasons (value, environment, etc) but god, that phone is ugly.
comment
Thanks for the clarification. I was hoping to use Firebase on a React Native app but I do need persistence. Do you have or plan to make some wrapper of the native iOS/Android SDKs for React Nativ…

Um... what about this? https://firebase.google.com/docs/database/web/offline-capabi... …
comment
From what I've seen, all backend duties are implemented in a server acting as another client to Firebase. Usually a Node server since Firebase has provided a JS SDK from the start, but I've …
comment
So how would one address server side logic? Like for example doing something with the data before sending it to the client?
comment
Are you sure? They seem to advertise offline persistence for both mobile and web. https://firebase.google.com/docs/database/#key_functions …
comment
Yeah why not? Let's reinvent the wheel every fucking time. I'm sure your clients and your family will love that.

Isn't Core M a tablet chip?
comment
I found that too a few weeks ago. I ditched Xamarin and moved to Java.
comment
I recently spent a few weeks with it and decided to not use it for a cross platform mobile app I'm working on. 1) The documentation seems good at first, but some parts are outdated and I did find…
