The best user experience is undeniably native: performance will be better, the app will feel more at home and embrace platform-specific conventions. But it's unfortunately unsustainable: you're essentially multiplying the number of apps and the amount of code by the number of platforms you support, and you have to have skills and culture in all the platforms. So as much as I'd love to have great looking libadwaita apps on GNOME and awesome native Mac apps on my Mac, I'd have to say realistically cross-platform is the way to go.

Native or Cross-platform? i.e. Kotlin/Swft vs Flutter/React-Native/Xamarin

#TOTD This is a question that a colleague asked me a couple years ago, and it just keeps coming back to me. If one becomes informed about the damage that our meat consumption is causing on the planet, does it become immoral for one to consume meat? Say, if you watch a couple documentaries on Netflix and continue consuming meat, does that make you a bad person? I don't really have an answer. I think about it every time I eat a burger.

I used to think that listening to audio books was "cheating" somehow; I don't really know why. But I am currently listening to a non-fiction book and I am really enjoying it. How do you feel about audio books?

Not so fun bed mites fact: your bed pillow might be home to 40k microscopic bed mites that come out at night to feast on your skin residues. (chapter 23, A Short History of Nearly Everything). Let me know if you want another!

"I need to add a pull request for this function" -- that already exists. -- "oh, I didn't read it very closely" -- .. yes I see that

Subreply is built with Falcon using app = API(media_type=MEDIA_HTML) to initialize the app. API and MEDIA_HTML are imported from falcon library. I like the provided router and the fact you can design around HTTP methods: GET, POST, etc.

flask or falcon? I know flask to some extent but I think what appeals to me about it in small apps falls apart in larger apps. I'm planning to try out falcon for the next little project. curious on opinions
