Annoyingly yes. If flutter web behaved like a true web(whether that be through building html elements or through canvas), it would have been a breath of fresh air and for once not a cluttered codebase of 8000 npm modules, html templates and a ditch full of css and no idea of figuring out which is which and which comes from where. I can kind of see a market for it in a sense that I don't want to install a separate app to track my shipment from a specific courier and have a web which is easily accessible on my phone but those are very narrow niches and honestly I can't think of a business that would invest into something like that for nothing more than accessibility. Aside from that I strongly stand by the statement that flutter is the best option for cross-platform mobile apps by a very long shot.
The government really doesn't have the data. Do they have cameras in your home detecting whether or not you paid for more than 50% of your child's living expenses?
But you can define multiplication based on abstracting repeated addition. That how we did it my analysis class, although I forget some of the details. So if you say multiplication is repeated addition, it really isn't a lie.

>The idea that when purchasing power increases people spend absolutely nothing is the basis if this rationalization for inflation, and it isn’t supported by logic or experience.

That's not necessary. Simply reducing spending to the bare minimum possible is enough. Humans don't need that much to survive.

>They actually spend more and more productively, because instead of barely getting by they are able to accumulate capital and start businesses.

Well, first of all, why would you start a business if your money works for you? It would be a waste of money. Secondly, if everyone is starting their businesses instead of buying things then who is going to buy the things those businesses provide? Nobody? Isn't an oversupply of goods just going to drive prices even lower, causing companies to close down? Would you really risk starting a company when you know that in the future your potential income will be even lower than today?
What's DEFL - Diode Emitter Follower Logic, suppose it's IBM's name for ECL? Do we have examples of these circuits being used in critical circuits in mainframes of the 60s?

I can't imagine a logic circuit of that era that was technically capable of being clocked at 100Mhz, 30 years before these frequencies became the norm.

Cash on the internet. I want to be able to send money to someone else on the internet without trusting a third party, and I want it to settle quickly / in a way that is "cash-like" (no reversibility). It isn't going to solve all problems, but as far as I know there is no other global payment system that solves for what I described.
If you want to defend against inflation buy stocks of major companies, land, real estate. Things that you know, are building blocks of our society wealth.

Buying into a token pool hoping you will be able to resell it for a bigger piece to people who want to enter as well is not something people should do in general.

BTC is terrible as currency fit many reasons. It has an advantage of skipping over regulations transactions in other currencies are subject to. How long it lasts is a speculation game. You can win at it but it's anything but "stopping central banks from eroding savings".
As a non-US resident, and by judging all the comments here plus the article's point about how hard it is to joust TurboTax from the top, what is the main benefit for a consumer to actually make the change?
It seems like TurboTax actually does your taxes quite well and that it's pretty hard for competitors to catch up to the functionality. But was is the argument for competing with it?

This is how it is done in Sweden. And after having lived in 2 other countries it is clearly the way to go.

The tax authority sends you a summary and you just approve it.
> If you aren't taking advantage of deductions, sophisticated tax-deferred vehicles for retirement or tax-advantaged accounts for other investment, you're giving the IRS more than you have to.

I do take advantage and do not lift a finger to achieve it, because the tax man knows about this already.

> However, you're over-simplifying things and ignoring the complicated parts.

IMHO, you are overcomplicating things. If tax laws are as complex as you wish them to be, if the tax-man cannot know what you owe to it - then it's just a very good environment for the wealthy not to pay anything, while screwing over other 99% with over complicating things.

I do not pay taxes in the US and unless you have a company, I guess 99% of individuals do not need to do any taxes at all, i.e. just confirm what the tax agency already knows about them.
They probably don't, but when something looks suspicious enough, in comes the audit.
I don’t dispute that you can get real money out the far end but even if you ignore the problematic aspects of crypto as a technology you still have to deal with the problematic aspects of it as a currency including rapid fluctuations in value and the time it takes to settle a transaction.
Isn’t it generally accepted that increased diversity in a decision group leads to better decisions? Splitting the state up would draw territory lines where there are only cultural lines currently.

Eliminating unions and splitting the state don’t seem to be feasible options. What else can we do, is there something less radical that can chip away to close this gap?
Well, to give counterpoint, just tested on Chrome / Windows (ok-ish CPU, decent GPU) all demos are buttery smooth no lag or jank whatsoever.
So it seems like to me you are saying that PoW has energy issues but that's not a problem because of PoS, but at the same time PoW (BTC) will continue to exist and consume at least the same amount of energy as it currently does.

It's concerning to me that there's not even a "light at the end of the tunnel" as far as BTC's energy usage goes.

I don’t understand the argument. You go from stating that in some cases, the ziRS can’t prefill your taxes correctly - sure, we all agree here, that’s the same in every other country. And then you go on to say that’s why you need TurboTax. Huh? Why not just have the same input boxes as TurboTax, but on irs.gov? That’s what pretty much every other developed country has
Well you definitely have the wrong idea. About 20% of Americans do live in extreme economic precarity. But things are not out of a horror movie. That’s in fact why there hasn’t been a violent revolution, things aren’t bad enough here (yet?).
For most of the history of AI research the vast majority of AI applications consisted of hand-crafted programs. For example automated theorem proves, planners, SAT-solvers, game-playing algorithms, expert systems, search algorithms etc, are all hand-crafted, rather than learned from data.

What you say, that it's AI if it's learned from data, that applies to machine learning, but machine learning is only one branch of AI. Of course it's the branch that most people know today, but go maybe a few years back and have a look at e.g. the classes on AI taught at places like Stanford or MIT etc, and you'll find that they're all about probabilities and logic, and machine learning does not feature very prominently. You can see the same thing in the staple AI textbook, "AI- A Modern Approach", which is pretty much all hand-crafted approaches.
Pretty sure I'm the only person on this thread who loves flutter. We use flutter web and Firebase for our hobbyist project, and the results have been simply amazing.

Dart makes Typescript look like a joke. The build system alone makes flutter better than React Native !

I'm confident in being able to build any CRUD app in dart

Edit, in fact how many of you have actually built a project in flutter .I can't believe anyone would want to go back to react native after trying it

Similar situation. Learned Photoshop in high school for an art class, got really good with it in college because my school gave it to us for extremely cheap. But now I don't have it, it's too expensive to pay for, I'm unwilling to pirate, so I've been getting pretty good with Gimp.

Things changed a lot, I observed the same symptoms as late as late 2020, I can't reproduce these issues now

In general Flutter for Web is _amazing_ if you want to deploy an app.

after seeing this thread, pretty clear to me its almost a perfect nerdsnipe - makes perfect sense if you're already building a Flutter codebase, sounds bonkers if you build web apps.
Robinhood is, for many people, the only name they know in this space. Therefore, it must be their fault.

As the Internet grew, it raised the bar higher and higher on the "baseline" level of things one needed to reasonably know about before participating in any given conversation intelligently (bear with me). As a result, it became growingly acceptable to declare something one doesn't understand as morally "bad" for being complex, and since the experience of encountering something one didn't understand was widely shared, many folks pounced on that complexity as the problem, not their failure to grasp it.

It's infinitely easier to declare a system as "bad" than to spend time to understand why it's built the way it is. Robinhood just happens to be what many people think of as "the system", rather than the actual financial system Robinhood is built on top of.

I believe this could apply across a number of problems we're seeing online right now. Groups of people who band together (right or wrong) to rail against a system that exists for reasons they do not understand. Sometimes it's justified, sometimes it's not, but every time you get that same whiff of populist anger such as what Robinhood is experiencing right now.

Why does every basic income experiment get touted as an amazing success when said experiments only capture one side of the equation? Of course giving people no strings attached money makes them happier: "Finally, the cash recipients were healthier, happier, and less anxious than their counterparts in the control group."

But you're not raising prices, increasing taxes, or taking away their other social benefits. So how are basic income experiments takeaways even valid?

Somebody already made a comment, which seems to be getting ignored:

Basically, Intel goofed back when SSE was first introduced, and some compilers (including both gcc and llvm) got tripped up. Intel made two instructions for loading SSE registers, a normal one and one that would take alignment faults. There was the suggestion that the one with alignment faults would perform better, so people used it. In later processors, the tiny difference went away. So now you have a useless instruction supported by the hardware, and it is getting emitted by LLVM.

All the other instructions that could be emitted by llvm, and all the instructions that should be emitted by llvm, do not take alignment faults.
This is DOA..... fine for some generic/basic app, but I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole if you are building a serious app.

This is another attempt from javascript/web front end developers trying to unseat native apps.... with the naive promise that is truly build once, run everywhere...

It hasn't worked since 1995.... as these frameworks get decent, native apps push the envelope and user expectations just increase over time, and apps created by these framework just look outdated or as toys.
There is a big gap between what tax software companies charge $$$ for and what is actually complex and subjective. Like, if you have an HSA, that instantly boots you into the Deluxe Edition of H&R Block (about $100 federal+state), even if your HSA situation is very straightforward.

Tax prep software is worth every penny IMO, but they do nickel-and-dime you for many pretty simple situations.
One question that's been in the back of everyone's mind with Flutter is "will Google toy with Flutter and then drop it? Or will they stick with it and make it the real deal?"

I take this post as partial evidence that they're making this the real deal. It's already surprisingly good, and there's reason to believe that it will get a whole lot better.
Even Microsoft realize that Xamarin is not a tool for serious mobile or desktop development. Sure, you can get apps that work but they are 2.5x larger than if you had written them in Java or Kotlin and offer no more features than if you had done a hybrid mobile app with Ionic instead. Everyone thought Microsoft acquired Xamarin for the mobile dev tooling? No: it was the only way they could get the brain trust and the core Mono team at Xamarin to come work for them.
Sure, my counterpoint was just that the same reasoning technically applies to addition as well, but as you note "matrix multiplication" is taught in high school, while my example wouldn't come up.

I agree not calling it multiplication would probably help, perhaps something like "linear transformation composition" might encourage students to keep it separated from real multiplication, I jsut found the argument in the original article kind of ridiculous to be honest.

> Go actually look at the internal of a PHEV. They have literally every single part of a BEV but also have many, many additional parts.

Yeah, every hydrogen car, including Toyota's, still needs a big battery because the motor is still an electric motor and fuel cells still can't on demand produce the sort of electricity needed to drive the electric motor at high torque. (Plus to be similarly efficient to a BEV they need the battery storage for regenerative braking, they can't just add hydrogen to the tank.)

Hydrogen cars are still just worse battery electric cars in practice from a "fender bender" standpoint and even other consumer viewpoints. (The refueling experience is faster sure, but it is overall worse.)

Toyota is lucky that all the money they are throwing at hydrogen cars still is keeping them somewhat competitive in BEV experience, because the hydrogen vehicles are just worse BEVs. Eventually when they get past the sunk cost hurdle and cut their losses they might be in a place to use all the experience building bad BEVs into building good ones.
I'm proud that my country has a system that enables entrepreneurs to build new enterprises that rise to such heights without being torn down by outside forces.

Ask HN: Is “technical writer and CS degree” good enough for hiring managers?
My biggest fear as soon as college ends (an impending threat) is that I won't immediately be relevant to hiring managers as a programmer. Is it a viable strategy to become a technical writer, develop a personal project for a while (How short is too short? Is it measured on the order of years or months? I don't want to be a not-programmer for too long, accruing irrelevancy, but it doesn't look good to be in a job very shortly), then come out looking for a job in my relevant domain?
[Flutter Eng. Dir here]

The initial GPay Flutter release definitely had some performance rough spots. We've learned a lot from working with that team since release and have made resulting changes in both Flutter and the app code.

GPay hasn't released since December last I checked, but I expect the next release should perform better on both iOS and Android and we will be continuing to work with them closely over the coming months.
No. Accusing somebody expressing an ethical concern as "virtue signalling" it's often used to signal cynicism.

No, it was a bug, the refcode was supposed to go only on keywords (as all browsers do).

Yep, that was particularly disappointing to me. My 1440p panel supports up to 144hz, but MacOS only acknowledged 50hz and 60hz for the panel. Not that it made much of a difference in the first place, a flashing panel at 60hz is just as unusable as a flashing panel at 144hz.

But the post is titled "How our AWS Rust team will contribute to Rust’s future successes", but doesn't actually say anything - at all. It's all just empty words without content.

Apparently the mods agree, since the submission was downranked and blocked from the front page. Or maybe the algorithm picked up the odd upvote count and critical comment downvoting that is quite common for AWS submissions.

I don't mind a decent content marketing post that is supportive of Rust, but this one just rubs me the wrong way.
This is HUGE, an absolute game changer in the cross platform space and in competing with electron, my congrats to the flutter team on this release.

I had wondered what had happened to this app to make it so slow. It takes around 10 seconds to get past the loading screen and show me anything useful on an S9.

Those seconds are excruciating when I'm at a checkout trying to actually use the app, with a large line behind me and a checkout person staring at me.
Libraries buy copies (and the creators get paid). And the copies (on average) circulate a lot less often than you'd think.

High volume authors would probably opt out of the library system if they could, but the average author probably gains from libraries (since they buy a bunch of copies that otherwise wouldn't be bought).
>without investing the time/effort to learn about how to do it better with other setups

I do not believe that this is a good thing at all.
I don't think these two agree? The go suggests keeping a separation between who's doing the researching and who's checking its ethics. Like, the ethics researchers should not be accountable to people who are incentivized to ignore them.

Instead, the quote suggests that the separation is unnecessary, and that elevating some people to specifically look at ethics is bad since it's everyone's job

Apple is "Premium" computing products company, and further advertises in the content creation space for artists, etc.

Not properly driving monitors is a major fail, if that's true. It also ignores the fact early adopters will be technical and have a "basic" technical need like that.

Apple almost always supports the highest-bandwidth ports, precisely to drive large high-resolution monitors.

I've been thinking about M1, but this comment just nixed it. Maybe when it's out of beta.

At various complexity levels, there are subsets of problems that yield easily, like unsafe primes in RSA, or trivially, how I can instantly get one factor of an even composite.
