They're still washed, otherwise they would have all kinds of crap on them (literally, chickens only have one hole), they just aren't subjected to chemicals and scrubbing etc.
Having very low salmonella rates in the flock makes it really unnecessary
Rich people can invest relatively small amounts in hundreds, if not thousands of startups through preferentially treated retirement funds and pay no (or little) tax on the ones that make it big.
This is what has made it so easy to secure funding in the US.
Should Europe do the same? There's definitely an ethical dilemma in making the rich, richer for the sake of innovation.
We must be buying different things if you think Amazon is cheap in the EU.
I find almost everything can be had cheaper elsewhere these days, except the Chinese junk like you find on Temu, the enshitification has well and truly sunk in.
I always paste products I find right back into Google and more often than not find them cheaper elsewhere
It's probably within an order of magnitude but it's really just hobbyists, casuals and indies using it.
If you compare it to React Native there probably are more Flutter apps published but if you drill down into the top 1000 on each app store you would be lucky to find more than a few in most countries using Flutter whereas React Native definitely makes up more than 10%, maybe as high as 30% of non-game apps. I know on my phone I have zero Flutter based apps installed and almost 20% use React Native in some way.
Source: I'm an app developer so I keep an eye on these things.
No. Read the simple form of my response, the first part.
What you said was an example of one factor as to why it's more complex than the simple form for people who really want to dig down deep but on its own it's not an answer
This old myth is as old as the RN vs Flutter debate itself and I'm willing to help bust it again.
The simple answer is that when people have a problem or question about Flutter they simply key in Flutter. With RN they can ask about React, JavaScript, typescript, RN itself or one of the many components you use to make an app as it's the sum of a lot more parts.
So if Flutter didn't get more searches here I would be surprised and concerned.
The longer answer I'll just tease but suffice to say it's more complex than above.
It can come down to lots of things including the competency/experience of developers and maturity. As an experienced developer I might need to search for or ask about what I'm doing maybe 2 times a week. For someone getting started that might be that many times an hour. If you just looked at the two of us as a blob it might seem that whatever the other is using is more popular despite it being 50/50.
So yeah, number of searches or stack overflow questions or Reddit posts or whatever it is does not equal popularity.
Since when was Flutter the "go-to solution for cross-platform development"?
Maybe for hobbyists but in the corporate space it's still React Native.
The problem with Flutter, and this extends even further with KMP is that the scope of your skills is limited to making mobile apps whereas with React Native you are learning and using skills that can apply to a complete stack.
KMP is even worse in this regard as they expect you to build two frontends (yes I'm aware of compose multi platform but it's a separate product entirely) so unless you have some crazy business logic that Dart or JavaScript can't handle you're sacrificing the largest benefit in cross platform app development for the smallest.
As for whether Google are replacing Flutter I think they made a massive PR goof with the launch and have introduced a lot of uncertainty. Possibly it's their long term plan but currently it's just a tiny niche product.
It gets harder if you want to retrofit it to an older app using older third party libraries that have no or limited support. You have to pick through everything to work out what's playing up.
> There is also no practical way to build on React Native without using a metric ton of third party libraries
As an author of a few quite large React Native apps I have to disagree. There's a few key ones and apart from that it's down to maturity. Immature developers will always reach for whatever crutch they can find first. Doesn't matter what language.
The same immaturity shows up in their attempt to recreate (a not so great) wheel with their Phonegap/Cordova clone.
I would seriously be embarrassed about an article like this if it was my business.
Snap is trying to generate headlines in a desperate attempt to stay relevant.
This has nothing to do with WFH. Just a sorry attempt at trying to piggyback on Musk's just as desperate attempt to get attention with his 996 proclamation.
I'm an older engineer too and I am very aware of how frustrating this can be for techs of all ages so I made our screening test less fizzbuzz, do my work for me and gotcha questions and more real world, challenging, engaging and most of all interesting.
Examples include: How would you solve this at a high level, here's some code we know is broken, how would you both fix and improve it etc.
After all, both parties are being screened.
The other upside is that we also get to gauge communication and analytical skills not just production line coding.
Even after doing this, over the years I have seen a good 30% refuse to do it or just ghost at this point for whatever reason. Afterall, I've done it myself a number of times.
