other than hiring, everything you said are reasons I'm staying away from react native. Dart has improved a lot and is much better

The software is what kept me away from iphones even though I hate android hardware

does this mean we will finally get more games on it instead of sitting on the dreamlist for years with no change?

> Perhaps it gets worse over time. But right now, they’ve just made it free.

they always do

yes. and the way companies hire is driving it.

easy to understand and use for everyone. you no longer need to spend tons of time teaching junior devs how to use git. By default mercurial also doesn't let you change history. There's no staging area or indexing before the commit. The gui and commands make total sense to the layman.

Git is definitely more powerful but causes more damage than good and wastes more time in most workplaces who are just looking for some simple version control and branching/merging features.

I always go back to using mercurial for personal projects. Better than both

Picking a book getting approached by the teacher then writing a book report has been how I was taught to read since 1st grade. After moving to the US for high school, being forced to read through the American classics was what killed any urges I had for reading fiction outside of school work

This mindset is why literacy rate is so low in America. I enjoyed reading so much when I grew up abroad and got to pick the books i have to read and write a book report about. Though it has to be approved. After moving back to the US, being forced to read many of these boring classics just taught me to avoid reading in my free time

cause they don't have DRM and don't have ads

just buy games from GOG instead.

yes, and cheating in tournaments get you thrown in jail

SK has it under control but people would never implement the same measures in the US and EU

How unfortunate

Keepass2android and proton drive along with the keepass windows app

Proton drive and keepassx, keepass2android and keepass

Sqllite

What you got wrong is meta

So... Samsung dex

> Consistency of user experience.

like how the back gesture works on iphones across generation and apps?

> Reliable security updates for old devices that still function

7 years of update isn't long enough?

> Heavy integration with the Google spyware ecosystem

last I checked iOS is closed source. Run your own OS or just don't use google apps. I bet most people are using gmail and google maps on their iphones too.

> Poor CPU performance and battery life.

compared to which android phone? and is this before or after apple throttles your iphone?

> Low-quality peripherals such as cameras

flag ship androids consistently have better camera hardware compared to iphones, iphone just makes it up with better camera software. You could go the sony route if you don't live in the U.S. to get a better overall camera focused phone.

> Manufacturer defects in Google-branded device

good thing you have options in android ecosystem.

Probably cause it doesn't have an apple logo on it

gym membership, certain ride share bike rentals in some cities. just few things I tried to do during my last trip.

Yes, its called mercurial

yes

I would not go to college and spend all that time and money on actually working on projects and getting real world working experience. I actually had a job offer out of high school but my parents convinced me to go to college.

yeah I just learned from the other comment they changed this. But the tour model is another trade off they are asking for now.

so what happens at the end of the tour? you get interviewed again? or are you barred from rejoining unless you do the lengthy government hiring process?

I actually considered applying for the US Digital Services, I was okay with the salary decrease as long as I could continue to work fully remote, but they require you to work in DC. Telling ppl to take a huge pay cut AND to have to show up to the office is a huge ask.

I've decided to start my own business next year cause I don't want to go through all the leetcode bs too.

Scrum, JIRA and typescript summarizes all frustrations at work

typescript has wasted more of my time than anything else. But at least I can bill clients for it.
