If I'm a company and want to bring something to production quickly, what should i choose:

  1. A relatively new tool that has seen barely any production use and thus could have a bunch of unanticipated problems. Also nobody uses it so every new engineer you bring onto the project has to learn something entirely new before they can start really contributing. You also have no idea how long it will be supported by its developers into the long term future.

  2. A battle hardened, production tested tool that has a huge community, has been around for a long time, and that a lot more developers already know how to use.

Sure #2 might be slower by a few fractions of a second, but if I'm in charge of the business i know which option I'm going to choose 100% of the time.

Same thing happens to me if I were to open each of those apps as chrome tabs.

The apps you listed provide a web version also. Adding choice to the customer experience is a good thing!

Because many users often enjoy using a dedicated application than a website. Plus it gives developers access to even more customization than browsers normally provide.

If they customers didn't like using it, companies wouldn't keep making these apps.

Personally, I'm a techie guy but I get exhausted with the number of tabs i have open at any time. I don't need to have more dedicated to just slack, Spotify, discord etc

Genuine question, why does it matter? Why shouldn't a project choose a production ready method of creating cross platform compatible code to avoid duplication of efforts and cost?

The issue isnt really the color, it's that all images and video are degraded in quality. That means android users are excluded from iphone group chats. This is a bug deal in America where iphones are incredibly popular.

I think it's fair to be excited that people are working on ways to bridge the divide. Especially when the technical aspects of the reverse engineering is pretty cool. Not to mention the proof of concept was originally made by a high school student!

Just because they've done some things wrong doesn't mean they have done everything that's wrong. I would rather base my criticism on companies (or people or ideas) on true facts.

That means sometimes there's an uncomfortable situation where an otherwise evil organization isn't always evil in every situation, and that is ok.

This is a real genuine question. Can you link me to some peer reviewed studies from a reputable source? I can't find any that say trans women have zero advantage over cis women in physical sports.

Probably my greatest fear is my mind going and shutting down like that. I wish him the best and hope he gets the support needed.

It's totally fair game to discuss what is in official promotional material from months ago in a diacussion thread about the game.

It's also fair to try to avoid spoilers about the game, but if you are so spoiler averse that you don't even want to know what was in the games advertisements, you should avoid all discussion threads about the game.

But the rich are the ones buying a lot of the art! Who will pay the artists if you eat the people with the money?

Has the hacker group given any proof that they actually have anything? All of the articles I've read only say the hackers have claimed to have 80GB of data.
