@augustradjoe @AvaneeshKSingh @arpit_bhayani @Sarthaksavvy @tapasadhikary True, the tech industry here is still learning to use frameworks and technologies, there's no understanding of how they work from the ground up.

I've worked with superconductors for the better part of a decade now in different contexts, from STM condensed matter labs, to particle accelerators, and now fusion.

Time for a deep dive on what exactly this miracle-technology unlocks for us a species: 🧵

@FlutterNFriends @mraleph Will this be livestreamed as well?

@CFDevelop Open source is not just about a particular project.
What's more important is the ecosystem that benefits everyone, I'm sure you've used thousands of open source packages/tools till date.
So I thank you on behalf of everyone for keeping that ecosystem alive

@BenSimsTech @cmuratori Exactly, OP is trying to equate "clean code" to a set of practices written somewhere. Not actual code which is clean and maintainable.
Then again most debates on twitter (and perhaps anywhere) are because people have different definitions for a term/concept.

Since the early-1990s, PepsiCo has sold $1B+ of Doritos a year.

Why is the chip so addictive? From the ingredients to cooking method to texture, its engineered to pull all the psychological levers to make you crave the snack.

I’m so pleased to share that The Climate Book is now available in the USA and Canada! I have gathered the wisdom of over one hundred contributors to highlight the many different crises we face and equip us with the knowledge we need to avoid a climate disaster. 1/2

@almodovarj2 @ania_kubow Me too! I used C for this, created a game loop using kbhit()

I made an asteroids-ish game for my watch using the Flame engine and Flutter.

Running on a WearOS 3 the player can use the rotating bezel to control the player.

I challenged myself to start and finish a game in a week, and here is the result: Watchsteroids.

Yep, terrible name.

@scrumtuous Try something without much focus on lyrics. Classical or Instrumental is my go to.

@DevForero @BatsouElef Well that's not entirely true. Adding types would increase the payload that needs to be downloaded. JS would still be preferable, at least on mobile.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

The problem is not simply that capitalism produces too much, but that it produces the wrong stuff: SUVs, fast fashion and planned obsolescence instead of public transit, affordable housing and universal healthcare. It overuses resources and still fails to meet even basic needs.

Ever wondered how a QR code works?
No, me neither but it's low-key fascinating.

@kevmoo These are fine, but only if it's a stepping stone to better PRs in the future.
