> how else would you define multiplication?

With my six year old I told them to say "groups of" instead of "times". So 3 X 2 isn't read as "three times two" it is "three groups of two" which I think has been helpful.
I have to agree, I wouldn't use Flutter only for web. There are better web-only frameworks out there (not to mention the vanilla approach based on HTML+CSS+JavaScript).

In my opinion, it's a nice "add-on" feature for teams who already have an app running on iOS and Android. For simple apps, these teams are one command away from running things in the browser, for more complicated apps, it's a bit more complicated, but I believe with clean code it shouldn't be too difficult to tweak the app so that it runs on the web.

Also, I believe that the web and desktop is not yet labelled "stable", but they are available on the stable branch (if I understand things correctly, though I could be wrong, it's slightly confusing).

The accessibility is not great yet, in fact, I believe that's one of the main reason why it's not yet stable. The "tabbing" could probably be fixed, though, so maybe it's just the demo app that didn't take care of that. Here is a resource on how an agency made a Flutter project to test Flutter's abilities on desktop (which has similar challenges to web) https://blog.gskinner.com/archives/2020/09/flokk-how-we-buil...
To me, there is a moral distinction between two kinds of infringement, and I think most of the community will broadly feel the same way.

On the one hand, you have filesharing-esque infringement. This is typically indicative either of social norms that are prohibited by DRM (e.g., loaning things you own to other people), or of demand in a market segment that the copyright owner is uninterested in providing (e.g., digital downloads, demo software). In either case, it is pretty strictly a matter of personal consumption and it often doesn't reflect a lost sale (and in many cases, it can create more sales later on).

The other kind is reflected in bootleg copies, or even outright plagiarism. In this case, the people making these copies are seeking to directly profit off of it (note that this isn't restricted to monetary profit), and they are doing so without any recompense or sometimes even acknowledgement to the original owner. It's fundamentally dishonest.

I see no issue with not calling the first kind of piracy theft but referring to the second kind as such.
What kind of marketing? Google cloud is a highly complex B2B product. Do you know what salesforce or oracle sells? As both a developer and consumer, I have no idea.
> If America had proper workers rights and labor laws, suddenly these “superstars” would disappear.

Whatever the rights and laws you consider are "proper", if that resulted in the death of all large corporations, I would argue such rights and laws are "improper".

I like corporations. When the pandemic occurred, basically the only thing that still worked like normal was my internet, Netflix, and Amazon. The Postal service was a piece of shit. So there's one data point!

> Is it be possible to disable?

"A site should be able to declare that it does not want to be included in the user's list of sites for cohort calculation. This can be accomplished via a new interest-cohort permissions policy." For a per-user opt out, a browser extension could easily block it.

> Will they be releasing the datasets for how these ML models are constructed?

"The browser uses machine learning algorithms to develop a cohort based on the sites that an individual visits. The algorithms might be based on the URLs of the visited sites, on the content of those pages, or other factors. The central idea is that these input features to the algorithm, including the web history, are kept local on the browser and are not uploaded elsewhere — the browser only exposes the generated cohort."

This code will be in the browser, which is open source.

> Do sites in "incogito mode" contribute to analysis?

"All sites with publicly routable IP addresses that the user visits when not in incognito mode will be included in the POC cohort calculation."

BTC supply is not flexible. It means it will never be usable as currency. Settlement layer, first layer, tenth layer. It can't work because by the nature of it it will go up when more people want to use it and thus rewarding rent seeking behavior of holding it.

If the value of houses keeps going up and up at some point it becomes profitable to build more houses. It's just a matter of getting rid of stupid laws that prevent economic actors from doing so.

If the value of houses goes down over time then people will stop building houses. Housing can easily last decades or centuries if done properly. By the time the problem grows to become unsurmountable you might find that all the construction workers and companies are gone. That's what happened with the nuclear industry. You run a plant for 50 years until people retire all at once then you suddenly have to train thousands of new workers since you failed to maintain the industry.

This is a fundamental problem with providing food. Most food has to be eaten within weeks after the harvest. This means that you must ensure that at all times there are people farming for food. It's not possible to save it for decades or at least people don't want to eat 10 year old food (there are companies that specialize in prepper food). So ultimately, you need to keep the farms going all the time. How can you tell them to keep going if the price of food is going down... forever?
Even still, that's not a fix for the machines that are broken. I'm more disturbed by the fact that my Macbook would become a unibody paperweight, the data is the easiest part to replace.
This.

In the UK you can file electronically with the HMRC using their website. It guides you through several forms, tells you what numbers to input from your P60 (end of year notice from employer of salary and tax paid) P11D (end of year notice of taxable benefits) and a few other sources then produces a downloadable PDF copy, and submits them electronically.

It's not for everyone, e.g. Lloyds Names can't use it, but for 99% of people it's fine.

Why is it better in the UK? I don't think we have quite the level of regulatory capture, and still somewhat believe in public services, and spending money to make things better for everyone.
I find the attitude here from many people interesting. When I look at a bunch of rust communities, like the rust reddit or the rust discord, they are all cheering about this. But there seems to be so much hatred for AWS here that people would rather just use this as another chance to take swipes at AWS.

Ignoring the fact AWS contributes code/development to the project, they are also helping fund/finance parts of it and basically offer a bunch of free hosting to the Rust team.

While that's a reasonable explanation, the top result from private.sh (the opengl.org homepage) also does not include "python" anywhere on the page. I would expect the top result to at least be something relevant to glclipplane. I think this is both an issue of retrieval but also of ranking - the opengl homepage is a very generic result which is unlikely to have much salience to a query with other specific search terms.

Check out Flutter Folio [1], built in partnership with Google. Right-click is actually disabled, so you can't even open the "Create account" link in a new tab, nor can I right click an input to autofill with my password manager. You can't inspect any image rendered to the canvas element. Furthermore, you also can't blur the form input (although that's probably application specific rather than Flutter's fault).

I'll look into it, is it capable of driving 1440p@144hz?
That's technically true.

But. A 50% attack has the problem that an attacker with enough hash power to do it has enough hash power to simply mine on chain legitimately and create blocks and get 50% of the block reward and make tons of money that way, while actually doing the attack decreases confidence in the chain and might end up with massive losses in price.
They were pretty clear about the intention here: make the web available as a platform for running mobile and desktop-style apps.

If you're trying to create a classical website, it's not the right tool. Use html and css. If you're trying to make a rich app, I'd bet on Flutter.

I'd be interested in seeing it become easier to make a combination of the two -- flutter apps embedded in classical websites.
We actually have two distinct approaches: the CanvasKit/WebAssembly approach you mention for high-intensity graphics, and an HTML-based renderer for other apps. This article has more details: https://medium.com/flutter/flutter-web-support-hits-the-stab...

You're right -- we do render the controls, so that existing Flutter code (that might itself include custom styling or matrix transforms) just runs without change or surprise, but we integrate with the underlying browser support for things like text autofill and accessibility.
That's an interesting question. Looking at the documentation the NPN card (CHWW) and the PNP card (CGWW) have different switching characteristics (NPN is faster on and slower off). But I haven't noticed any difference in usage patterns.

Tremendously helpful understanding the various personalities/characters that you will run into throughout life.
My perspective is that Flutter is positioned dead on against Qt's QML. I develop mobile and desktop QML applications and this seems to be trying to be very competitive with it.

Qt also has a WebAssembly build for QML apps on the web but in my experience it has suffered from some of the same issues reported here about the Flutter WebAssembly runtime.

Edit: One key difference is Flutter seems to do everything with procedural code. QML is based on a declarative DSL plus Javascript.

I replied above as well. My team has also not been satisfied with the performance of the GPay app on all devices. We've been working with the GPay team since release and made many improvements in both Flutter and the GPay app. I expect there will be an updated GPay app soon, with still more performance improvements in the pipeline.
It's still not easier than netlfix or any major video store.
No response is a response.
> Something that's gaining popularity and what I'm trying lately is using JS + jsdoc annotations more thoroughly, which gives the niceties of TS (when using vscode) without the downsides and heavy compilation step

I'm a big fan of this as well. Webstorm also supports it.

It feels like the right balance to me, as it gives me a heads up when things don't match, but doesn't require that I go through the tedium that TS imposes once it touches a project.

Yes, that was the most glaring mistake in the article, in my eyes. The runner up strange argument was the one about multiplication and addition having different identities and inverses. But why would the operations "Addition" and "Repeated Addition" have exactly the same properties? The operations are not the same.

I think the real issue is about how to interpret the adjective "Repeated" when we turn to more general domains than the natural numbers. But that's not a huge issue, it's mostly a matter of terminology.
Flutter team member here. Valid nitpick, and I can confirm that we scrub any personally identifiable information (PII) from our telemetry, so while the IP is sent over HTTP, it's not stored in our system. We even go so far as to scrub the exception message, since it may contain PII.

More information about our crash reports can be found at https://github.com/flutter/flutter/wiki/Flutter-CLI-crash-re...
But did your analysis class define addition on the naturals? Then that's an operator for the naturals. And then for integers, rationals, etc.
Didn't they do that by developing ALSA OSS emulation? That is effectively another implementation of the same API.

If the accessibility story isn't rock-solid, frankly this is a non-starter for a lot of applications. Web apps suck in a lot of ways but regular HTML has pretty great accessibility properties.

It's unlikely you will get a representative set of answers form this site, which skews towards what you might call "upper-class" individuals.

That being said, if you're very, very poor it's not terrible to be a US citizen.

- Community college is free via a Pell grant.

- Housing is expensive, but you will qualify for Section 8 (welfare) and will eventually get housing for free.

- Hospital costs are irrelevant if you're very poor (5th percentile or so)

- Life-saving medicine is in the same boat. You would likely qualify for Medicaid if you're dirt poor

- You would likely work multiple jobs if you're dirt poor.

- You likely wouldn't have vacation if you're dirt poor.

- Same thing with maternal and paternal leave.

That being said your life in the USA depends very much on where you live. If you lived in Massachusetts, for example, you get maternal and paternal leave.

The real struggle in the USA is if you're between the 25th and 50th percentile. Where you're rich enough to not qualify for the things I mentioned above, but not so rich that you're on a more or less guaranteed path to financial independence.
What strikes me the most about this email is that Bill Gates seems to actually care about the user experience of finding, downloading and using Movie Maker. Positively surprised.
Ah fuck me. This is awful. You have to be precisely on the text to select it. I frequently offset my mouse a little to the left of the element to ensure I select the whole text. Even a little bit off to the left and nothing.

I love the idea, but this sounds like it's going to be unpleasant for me. Hopefully they figure out these UX things.

> I can't reproduce these issues now

dstaley just said that those issues happen now. " I just tried a few samples, and ..."

I just tried the demos over at https://flutter.github.io/samples/#?platform=web and I concur, Flutter is utterly horrible for everything the web stands for. So not amazing and seems to actively make everything worse.

The complete lack of understanding of anything financial postulated by the crypto crowd is really painful.

The notion of 'crypto' is actually interesting, and large swaths of the financial world would actually buy into it, but most of it makes no sense unfortunately.
Mine sends me a tax planner every year. Yes, there are a bunch of questions up front but that's mostly to discover if I've had a change of status, some large transaction, a deduction I'm due, etc. Yes, I still have to round up my info but I don't need to figure out the right schedules, where to put the various data, etc. I get a pretty big sheaf of paper back.

To take one of your points, America doesn't need high speed rail. There are barely any high speed rail on earth that are break-even let alone profitable[0]. They are a huge suck of government funds, avenue for corruption, and ultimately are boondoggles that are not as efficient or needed as planes and busses. Especially in a country like the USA that is so spread out, very few places make sense for rail lines.

The major cloud providers REALLY need to focus on fixing years old bugs in their widely used offerings instead of launching new ones. I guess the incentives are out of whack tho, since a working and widely used but slightly broken offering will be used by their existing customers. But if a competitor beats them to the next major thing, they will lose customers as they migrate over to use it. So they're in a kind of arms race against each other to roll out new seemingly obscure offerings in case one of them becomes the next thing and sees widespread adoption.
