matchbok··on Five Oregon counties vote to leave state, create 'Greater Idaho'
Even the worst parts of LA are miles ahead of the poor rural suburbs. There is just more visibility in LA due to the concentration of people.

In reality, the facts don't back up anything you said. :/

matchbok··on Airbnb CEO: 24% of bookings are for longer than 28 days
And yet, they refuse to divulge exactly how many corporate entities are operating on the platform - gobbling up rentals and pushing housing prices up for everyone else.
matchbok··on Beyond Meat’s Beyond Burger life cycle assessment (2018)
Simply false. Cats, for example, will die without animal protein.
matchbok··on Compose for Web
I guess, but most people don't care about that stuff. Which is why Flutter is dying :/
matchbok··on Android Studio 4.2
Ha, I wish. 10 years, and Android still doesn't have a good way to accomplish navigation, view models, state retention, or anything. 10 different support libraries, everything deprecated once a year, etc. The entire platform is a mess.

Please stop submitting this trash on here dude. Reported.
matchbok··on Changes at Basecamp
Gender and disability ratios at companies already match that of most CS program graduates every year. There isn't a hidden pool of people that are being ignored.
matchbok··on The joys of creating Xcode project files
It's such trash. For my personal projects, XcodeGen is a lifesaver.

How Apple thinks that a single god file is a good idea is crazy to me. No other build tool needs this.

matchbok··on Just Be Rich
...and this would be ameliorated with more housing. Real estate is only a good investment if there is tons of demand.
matchbok··on Did you know you can put a whole game inside of a push notification
Huh? We use silent pushes all the time to sync stuff. Works great.
matchbok··on Where have all the kindergartners gone?
Vouchers don't solve the problem, they move it around. Take the kids in the "worst" school in your city and swap them with the school in the "best". Do you honestly think the outcomes would be dramatically different?

Poverty is the main driver here. Not some "school choice" nonsense.

Odd. Absolutely everything, and I do mean everything, that Project Veritas has "uncovered" has later been shown to be a lie. 100%.

Their job is to get pro GOP, pro QAnon headlines.

matchbok··on Hermes, a JavaScript engine optimized for React Native
Don't use FB made tools, please. The company is cancer.
matchbok··on Gmail app on Android is down
Anyone who develops for Android shouldn't be surprised with this webview nonense. Android is built like a deck of cards, with tons of super old code that nobody understands.
matchbok··on We created a fake language to root out resume liars
Why is this a FB group? For software developers. Don't support Zuck and his shit companies.
matchbok··on Tim Wu Explains Why He Thinks Facebook Should Be Broken Up (2019)
FB is no different or better than big oil or big telco. Hopefully the people who work there begin to realize the damage they are doing to this country.
matchbok··on Flutter 2
Translation: No. and flutter sucks.
matchbok··on An update on Android's audio latency
5 years of work, and still bad compared to what iOS had 10 years ago. Impressive.
matchbok··on Flutter 2
What a mess - just make Android better please. Nobody uses this or wants to learn a new way of building apps. Swift and Kotlin are 100x better.
matchbok··on Flutter 2
Why can't y'all just fix Android development instead of this flutter stuff that will be deprecated and killed off in 2 years because nobody uses it?
matchbok··on React Cosmos – Build UIs at Scale
Neat idea, but the website is very overwhelming with all the weird transitions and fades. Just show the content.
matchbok··on Getting Started with AWS Amplify Flutter
Don't use Flutter lol.
matchbok··on Falling sperm counts, declining egg quality, and endocrine disruptors
Being offended about someone saying obesity is bad for you is nonsense. Fine, someone is offended. Oh well.

And it is true - most issues are related to weight.

matchbok··on Android 12 developer preview is available now with many under-the-hood updates
Really sad how many of the changes are just improvements to a poorly designed API in the last version. Or redesigning things for the sake of a redesign.

Fix the important things, Google. Android dev is still a joke compared to iOS - Fragments, activities, lifecycle nonsense, support libraries, etc. Huge waste of developer time, and it's been this way for 10 years.

matchbok··on SVG: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Unrelated. But why does this site need a sticky header? Such a waste of space on a small monitor. Stop designing for 30" screens people!
matchbok··on Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index
I think you misspelled remarkably. It's actually spelled "terribly".
matchbok··on Ask HN: Is it a bad idea to join Facebook as engineer?
This is the answer.
matchbok··on Adults who name Fox News or MSNBC as their main news source are equally partisan
HN really isn't the spot for this stuff.
matchbok··on Vue Native (2018)
10%? Try at least 50%. If you wanna do anything complicated you have to drop down to native, which is made more confusing because of the layers of abstraction.

RN, never again.

matchbok··on Discord Community for Product Founders, Startups and Early Adopters
Really dislike how places like this are now chat rooms. Not searchable, horrible to browse later on, messy interface. Terrible for documentation-style discussion.
