Basically because a UI framework's usability is directly related to how idiomatic it feels. So if you write a UI framework in C for C, it will feel nicer than a UI framework in Python for C, or in C for Python. This directly translates into how productive developers can be using the framework, which is one of our top priorities.

When we started, about 3 years ago now, we looked at many languages (dozens of them) and, objectively, Dart was the best fit for what we wanted to build.

At the time, "we" was a few people from the Chrome team, and me (HTML spec editor at the time). We were all Web people, whose only impression of Dart was somewhat like negative comments in the thread here. When we studied each language, though, we found that impression was really not relevant to Dart as a language for mobile, and in fact it fared better in our comparisons than the other languages we looked at.

I think it would make a lot of sense for people to create other projects very similar to Flutter where Skia is combined not with the Dart VM but with other languages, and for the Flutter framework to be ported -- in a language-idiomatic manner -- to those other languages. I can totally imagine, for instance, a TypeScript-based UI framework like Flutter, or a Kotlin-based UI framework like Flutter, or a Swift-based UI framework like Flutter. After all, in many ways, Flutter is just an evolution of previous UI frameworks like React, DOM/CSS, UIKit, and Android views.

Let a thousand flowers bloom. One day I hope I can write my mobile apps in FreePascal using a reactive framework with a design evolved from Flutter. :-)
Sorry, but you're comparing apples with oranges.

Germany is "exporting" energy because its ecological agenda is forcing energy companies to buy all green energy that is produced all the time, leading to severe instabilities for the grid. So to keep the German grid from collapsing Germany is dumping its energy into foreign grids, for negative prices even. It has caused the neighbouring countries so much trouble, that most of them installed phase-shifters to block out the German dumping.
Would like to read more on this subject if anyone knows any resources.

The US has been an instrumental part of a system where we all benefit when others are successful, it is not a zero-sum game. China's economic success is good for America. What is not good for an America is a new xenophobic super power that doesn't share our values.

A stable, prosperous, democratic China is ideal. An easy way for an authoritarian government to keep internal dissent down is to make an external enemy. Think of all the examples you mentioned. So this is probably bad news for the U.S. and the whole world.

Only if the people want better infrastructure. They do not. People want lower prices, which means less investment.

And then there's Singapore. Ruled by an authoritarian, gum hating despot who provides nice civic infrastructure for the populace.
> I mean, sure, if you define "right" in that way, then you can say you have the "right" to literally anything.

If? No, that is how rights are defined in the US. As long as a right doesn't violate the right of another person. This is what makes the US unique. The US government doesn't give us rights, we already have them. The constitution grants limited powers to the government. That is why it wouldn't matter of the 2nd amendment disappeared, we already have the right to self-defense. The 2nd just called out that the fact government doesn't have the power to remove that right.

If the government moves to take guns away and kills people to do it. In other words, if they try to warp the meaning of our rights, then that is the another reason to be armed.

I don't know all the economic reasons for a 2% inflation rate. But one of them is to disincentivize the hoarding of currencies and making investments in assets like bonds, treasuries or equities more appealing. So you probably want some amount of inflation to always remain.

This looks like a neat feature. Reading up on it briefly, it looks like it changes the mount namespace / chroots when running the binary in order to accomplish this. Unfortunately that defeats the purpose of crashcart, since the whole idea is to have access to the container file system while running your sideloaded binaries.

Unless there is some magic that I'm missing, I don't think this option helps for our use case.

Dart had a lot of problems, most notably that GC between JS and Dart was never handled well, because the Dart VM and V8 used separate garbage collectors.

Besides, I'd much rather have the effort go into one new VM (or VM "mode"), so we can solve the problem once and for all. That is, let's have Web Assembly.
A CPAP doubles as an ideal monster snorkel.

A sheet over the head also protects against killer robots, as it interferes with face recognition. It also protects against alien abductors, as their paralysis-ray guns can't penetrate fabric with sufficiently high thread counts.

Thunderbolt wasn't really an extension to DisplayPort, it just initially re-used the mini-DP connector and has provisions to carry a DisplayPort data stream alongside the PCI Express data stream. When attaching something like a storage device, none of the DisplayPort-related stuff is active.
I implemented a messaging system for doctors with end-to-end encryption a long ago. Tried to have some of them but didn't work out.

It failed for a couple reasons: doctors don't know how to evaluate security features, want some official authority to endorse it, want something that already has wide adoption.

The technology for something like this is not overly complex, it already exists and is well documented. What makes it difficult is to get adoption.
According to the link sent by eppp TVA doesn’t allow net metering.

Edit: I got the terminology wrong. I agree that expecting net metering (“free” time-shifting) is not reasonable. And it seems that in addition to the “sell all, buy all” solution it is also possible to sell (or buy) only what remains after (or is required for) local consumption.

That's one of the reasons I bought the specific dock offered by Dell for my XPS 15. The laptop and dock support thunderbolt, but it's carried across USB-C. Getting this all right and knowing it will work as expected was enough for me to pay an extra $30-$40 to make sure I got a well tested docking system.

The article I just read to make sure I had my facts straight before posting[1] said it best I think. USB-C is a connector, which support many protocols (including USB 3.0/3.1 and Thunderbolt 3).

In other words, it's the equivalent to the Ethernet in your network, over which you run a protocol like TCP/IP, or IPX/SPX (not that I think anyone actually runs this much anymore). It's confusing because for USB 1.0 and USB 2.0 the protocol and the connectors were fairly closely linked (although they did downgrade as needed).

But if you get to any Chinese over 60, they still remember the chaotic cultural revolution very clearly, they definitely don’t want a return to strongman cult of personality Maoism where Xi seems to be going.

Xi is the last vestige of Maoism, the last president who grew up under Mao’s shadow. The next generation of leadership is surely going to be much more modern than any before it. That they are delaying it for something in china’s past is a travesty.

As always, great work from Patrick.

An excellent question! Net on net, removing the CC required upfront decreases conversions in the early life of startup,
until you’re sophisticated with regards to onboarding, in-app messaging, lifecycle email, and reachout by a customer
success team. I would not suggest you remove the CC required from this free trial.

This was exactly our experience as a pretty unsophisticated team with Cronitor. Our 3 month experience in 2015 with no-card-up-front free trials was a total failure, dropping conversion and arpu in that cohort.

Makes sense.

I've stated this a few times, but one of Microsoft's biggest misteps in the 90's, and there weren't that many, was its absolute lack of any political lobbying.

There are alot of very politically connected people who pointed out that if Microsoft had of "played the game" that the chances of their anti trust trial actually happening would have been alot less.

Google and Facebook learned this lesson well and now spend on lobbying at a rate that would make wall street blush and is on par with the heaviest lobbyist out there. it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to say that the new tech elite are the real Washington insiders.

Just look at what Uber and AirBnb spend on lobbing.

Given this, it makes sense that if you were in a new industry with the rules being created all around you, you'd want to control the narrative as much as possible.

I'd argue that Silicon Valley now dominates even wall street in terms of buying political influence in the US nowadays.

To bring an example back to my Canadian roots, The Toronto Maple Leafs hired the man who wrote the NHL's Collective Bargining Agreement with the players to better have an advantage when writing player contracts.
That's right - and I alluded to that in my comment.

My point is that startups hire SME in all of those areas - people are actually dog walkers, teachers, artists, etc.

It may not be the focus - but the people and jobs are there even if not the primary focus.
Yeah, the demand for parking will collapse, which would bring down the value of parking lots, that's going to be a far bigger trend than space for charging.
What a strange website experience.

The original headline, both on the article and HN, was
"Crypto’s Hottest Hires Aren’t Millennials. They’re Banking Cops".

I have no idea what the term "Banking Cops" means. I press `CMD-F` to find "cop" on the page. The first result is the instance in the headline.

I press enter to find the next occurrence of "cop", the one in the story that will surely explain the title, and I'm immediately shown an all-black website with the headlines of the day:

https://i.imgur.com/ttNHeDM.jpg

This is seemingly an entirely different website from the article I was just reading. The URL has changed from the HN-linked story URL to instead now read `https://www.bloomberg.com/crypto`.

I still have no idea what a Banking Cop is, or why they are interested in Crypto.
Yeah they're keeping their old products running, hoping to be a full service bank for crypto. The OTC desk is where the money is.

Totally agree. Thanks for pointing that out.
I'm not sure why you say this. Germany and Italy didn't collapse-- they were conquered. The Soviet Union did collapse, it's true, but it collapsed because of external pressures and sclerotic bureaucracy causing an inability to adjust to internal problems. In all three cases there was an external force contributing to the problem. However, there's no reason to assume that China's authoritarian rule will collapse as well. Indeed, in several Soviet successor states (including Russia), authoritarianism has reasserted itself.

Authoritarianism is easy to impose and democracy is fragile; the civic discourse required for a strong and stable democracy relies upon a considerable amount of mutual respect and rhetorical restraint.

By "NYC" do you mean "Manhattan between 14th St and the park"? Queens is the most ethnically diverse urban area in the world. SF is seeing its diversity dwindle.

If you think specific types of industry are an indicator of an area's superficiality, I'd like to remind you of a media company in SF called Lucasfilm, an ad company in nearby Mountain View called Google (a client of SF's Epsilon) and a fashion company called Gap Inc.
Flutter originally used JavaScript, we ended up switching to Dart after studying dozens of languages. Our choice of Dart very much did not come from wanting to support Dart, in fact, originally, I think the Dart team was a bit confused about what we were doing. :-) You can see this a bit in how, for example, we started with out own style guide and only over time have slowly converged it to match Dart's style guide (it still isn't 100% merged).
> Customers are not sending all their generated power out their meter, then putting load on the "grid" on another meter back in. That would indeed be absurd.

That is exactly what the linked article claims is happening to TVA customers: "Thus, any grid-tied solar system within the TVA region must have dual metering, one to measure power coming off the grid, another to measure power going to the grid. The arrangement with TVA is likewise “buy all, sell all” in that you have no choice but to sell all the power you generate to TVA, then you buy back whatever you actually consume."

Let me get it straight: if your global revenue is €10 million, you won't pay 4%(€400k) penalty, you'll pay €20 million, because it's greater of the two? It seems like this will be especially harmful to small companies.
It'll take too much time to talk in details. Democracy in general in better than totalitarian in general, i don't disagree with that. However, establishing American democracy in China at this moment, most likely won't bring anything good or solve any problems China is facing now. And it's dangerous: If a presidential candidate say "Elect me and we'll take Taiwan back by force", the most likely outcome is that he'll get a shit ton of votes for that stance.
Yes, I know that, but I think this inaccuracy is a price worth paying to achieve an initial intuitive understanding. As a student reflects more deeply on what it can possibly mean to "move more slowly through time" the negative sign on the time dimension can be introduced. But as an initial intuitive picture to get a student out the the Galilean rut I think the circular rotation works well.
I feel like you didnt read it.

That is exactly what TVA does.

That is what "buy all, sell all" means.

I encourage you to read the book before taking a side that you read an article about.
Sure - but caveating this with "Don't take medical advice from strangers on the internet" (Which was kind of my point).

I've had lower back pain on and off my entire adult life. When I started investigating how to fix it, I came to the (same) conclusion that strengthening my core muscles would help - as someone who trained quite heavily I was confident in my ability to perform basic core exercises without injuring myself [0]. These only exacerbated the problem, and after 2 weeks of doing them I was bed ridden, and in agony.

I had been to a GP who referred me to a neurosurgeon that I was able to get temporary relief from by multiple epidurals, and some severe pain relief medication. Got better again after a few weeks, and I ignored it for 18 months until it came back. Took an experimental procedure that bought me another 18 months. I then saw a physiotherapist who walked me through some of the basic exercises that they give to people who are recovering from spinal fusion (which I had been referred for but held off on). I still get waves of lower back pain every few months, but I'm aware of the early symptoms, and can begin with the PT exercises for a few weeks at a time, until they subside (which they have done every time so far).

Overall, it was about finding what worked for me, as you said, but I definitely wouldn't recommend making that journey on your own.

[0] offhand, cannot remember exactly what I did, but would have been some basic version of some of the exercises from https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/fitness/multime...

> Anybody who does business in Europe or even has users in Europe is subject to this law.

Anybody? Sure technically in the same way that going 58 in a 55mph zone is speeding and could get you a ticket. So the question remains assessing the probability of enforcement of a hypothetically a small US based organization who has European customers. As I read the replies on this page it seems to be a mix of people who have a great deal of theory and not a large amount of practical experience assessing the probability of something actually happening given breaking a European law.
I’m curious if the average Model 3 buyer is the same as the average electric car buyer. The Model 3 isn’t just an electric car the same way a GM Bolt EV is, the Tesla has all the self-driving features that are still relatively unmatched by other offerings in the market. The Autonomous Bolt EV doesn’t go into production until next year.

I do appear to have misinterpreted what your point was. Sorry about that. Although I assume the idea was limiting how much is cached at any point on their part. Not sure it really matters though its not that much data.
There are some certifications that do appear to provide real value: the Red Hat certifications and the PMP certifications come to mind. I've also heard that the Microsoft certifications provide value as well. These are typically certifications that you do need to study for and probably spend some time learning new subject material. I do agree that many if not most certifications don't provide much value.
