If this is the what the richest economy in the world looks like, imagine the rest of the world.

Even if google kills flutter, I think the project has reached the point where it can live on without them. The framework and ecosystem has been around for years by now and in the time its been around, its been maintained by some seriously smart people. It can live on with a smaller team, new features will just take a little longer.

Obviously its still sad when people get layed off though.

taxation reform won't be necessary. Its just straight up unobtainable by most countries.

I mean any set of resources that after studying it will make you confident in reading material in law. It doesn't necessarily have to be a specific law system, or is that not how things work?

Does anyone know of good online resources to teach yourself law. CS and engineering have great courses online, surely there are some hidden law gems.

On another HN post someone made a really interesting comment about why the US government attacks its own strategic assets. Both Microsoft and Apple do business world wide and funnel cash into the US and these DOJ lawsuits impact how these companies operate globally. The anticompetitive behaviour involved is usually very intricate and it takes a good understanding of these businesses to spot when they cross the line. Most governments will never understand this and won't regulate these companies, so its weird that the US government does it for them.

On the other hand, Apple has shown that it is willing to differentiate product lines over geographic boundaries, so maybe this lawsuit will make apple offer 3 lines of products, for Europe, the US and the rest of the world.

30x is the type of number that when you see it in a generational improvement, you should ignore it as marketing fluff.

Definitely a fun read, but the author has an axe to grind with the references to "who gets bitches" and the unnecessary footnotes. Take what you will from it.

Thats great for you I guess. When I work, I want vscode with all the fancy linting and language server bells and whistles. I want to be able to have a ton of chrome tabs for browsing and docs and I want a local version of whatever I am building to run. Im gonna make the bold assumption that this is quite common in the dev community. Given that, 8gb is pushing it, no matter how you spin the "but my memory is fast" or "but native apps"

If you only use it for occasional ios dev, rather get a mac mini. As a bonus, when your done with it, put asahi linux on it and itd be a great home server.

Memory bandwidth doesn't matter for these types of devices, it is memory latency that matters. But best of all is actually having your application in memory and not having to do disk reads.
