Although it may render faster, it comes at a cost, as it completely circumvents what browsers are good at.

Flutter is basically just painting pixels on a canvas manually, meaning no CSS, no text selection, no text wrapping, no responsive elements, no elements without JS enabled. Many accessibility tools rely on CSS and text in HTML in order to work too.

It's a huge trade-off to make, and something to be aware of.
Not to mention a little bit of humbling.

Mike Tyson had a very famous quote "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth."

Yeah I get that, I also am pretty OCD about taking good care of my LP collection. It just seems silly to prioritize that over accurate reading of the groove. Though it does make a lot of sense for archiving where media is already really damaged and you'd probably be doing digital cleanup on it anyway.

Also once you go beyond a certain price range in audiophilia, it's diminishing returns and a slow descent into madness.

I want to say I read something once about some kind of filament stylus, that still made contact with the grooves but with less friction and force than a normal stylus. I can't seem to find it now but that seems like a better solution than this.
> Very quick solutions that at least drive politics towards the middle vs extremes

This is a very good goal if you want to replace duopoly which alienates a large number of people with monopoly which alienates a larger number of people.

What we need is almost the opposite: a system that, to the extent possible without compromising things like manageable legislature size and personal electoral accountability, provides proportional representation so that governing compromises are forced out in the open between parties in government, rather than done behind the scenes within parties so as to attempt to attain a minimal winning coalition leveraging limited substantive choices in the general election.

(Using Single Transferrable Vote, or a similar system, in small multimember districts, say 5 members per district, would do this quite well.)
I'm not sure how this is relevant to my point, please explain.
You think it is because you agree with the average HN visitor and the mods.

There are people who sometimes complain that HN doesn't tolerate dissent or certain topics.

I will say that the anti-spam measures work unusually well though. I believe it's because of a lot of software tuning by the mods and aggressive community moderation.
My favorite win: ally with the Darlok, the reprehensible race. Share all technology with them profligately. They grow with you to be the top 2 races in the galaxy. Upon the first election nobody will vote for the Darlok (a racial characteristic - everybody hates them) so they all vote for you. Win!

So Apple's snooping initiative produced exactly the result that was predicted? The article doesn't quite expand on this, but it sounds like the lawmakers and the agency are jolly happy to push their own variant of client-side scanning on everyone.

The whole story with client-side scanning resembles Snowden's description of NSA's workday: people are so used to the idea of surveillance day in and day out that it doesn't occur to them for a second that it might not be appropriate.

The problem is that out of this concern, some martial arts disallowed head blows in competition, only to fall out of grace due to how "unrealistic" they are in terms of self defence.

A large number of people who start practising martial arts, does that out of a self defence concern, maybe they have been bullied at school etc.

I don't have a solution to this problem (possibly head gear, but recent studies seem to indicate that it's not effective and might even make things worse)[1].

Of course one possible solution would be to mainly promote grappling-based martial arts, like BJJ or amateur wrestling, but then in a self defence optic you would still need some striking practice, at least in order to learn striking defence.

I'm not aware of any planned/possible way to do copy exactly as you would an HTML page with HTML tags, but there's a big project to make selection and copying much simpler and more powerful (design doc [1], in progress PR[2]).

With that PR it should be easy to just add one SelectionArea to the root of your app in order to make everything selectable, like it would be on a web page. You don't need SelectableText widgets. There's an example of this in the PR [3]. No built-in support for multimedia or rich text copying yet though.

Text input fields should already do copy/paste pretty much the same as native.

If this is your impression of internal tooling, then your internal tooling team is terrible.

The places I've worked with good internal tooling teams provided a dramatic decrease in time to delivery. Automated failovers? Don't have to write it, it's in internal tooling. Automatically rebalancing traffic across datacenters? Already in the framework. Service discovery? You already know.

I could go down the list, but with a good internal tooling team, the only thing I've ever had to worry about was my app's business purpose. I don't have to muck with configuring monitoring, or load balancers, or getting authentication to talk to another app, or how to get a database, or etc.

The difference in time to delivery is dramatic.

Places I've worked without internal tooling take like 2 weeks just to get infra for a static HTML site.

The places I've worked with bad internal tooling take 3 weeks to do the same thing, because you'll spend a week arguing about whether the tooling works.

The places I've worked with good internal tooling take like 15 minutes to do it. I spend longer reviewing an MR than I do deploying infra.

Tooling is a huge part of the reason companies throw fistfuls of money at clouds. They could get compute on-demand cheaper from Leaseweb or OVH or hundreds of other companies, but they don't. They pay the premium for AWS or Azure or GCP, and it's because of the tooling.
Yeah, that seems reasonable. I'm all for giving more power to people to pick the candidates they want instead of having political parties handpick the last ones.
What if I told you FiveThirtyEight’s ongoing investigation into gerrymandering is finding that the Democratic Party is gerrymandering much more than the Republican Party? 538 is a left-leaning site too.

Cutting edge cell phone camera performance is absolutely mad.

I did a side-by-side comparison of a Micro Four Thirds camera (4/3" sensor) and an iPhone SE (1/3" sensor) and the performance was... pretty much the same.

And I'm not talking about some ML interpolation wizardry or automatic face beautification; I was photographing barcodes and testing how many were readable in the resulting images - hardly something Apple would have specially optimised for.

The iPhone has a much smaller sensor, a much smaller lens, costs less, and manages to pack in a bunch of non-camera features. To be competitive in the modern cell phone market your camera has to be straight up magic.

If that is what GP meant, then they used the wrong term. The term usually used is "Blanket Primary" or "Jungle Primary" (Jungle Primary is a specific type of blanket primary) for what you describe. An open primary allows people to vote regardless of party affiliation; the states which have these may not even ask you for party affiliation when you register to vote (Virginia, where I first voted does not, for example).

It does make an aggregate difference because few people vote in primaries anyways, and even fewer will change their party affiliation every year, making raiding much harder.
> There is a "What it's like to work at Google."

That's true, but blog posts written solely by people who left are unlikely to capture it well. There is an implicit selection bias in play. People tend to write most about transitions, but if you want to know what it's like to work somewhere, the people you really want to ask are those right in the middle of it, because that's where you spend the most time.
Any plans to make it possible to embed Flutter in existing desktop applications?

Especially for use in plugins to existing said that do not control the main event loop?
The cat-people are the hardest. They have no significant racial traits.
This 100%. Also, Flutter Web is still pretty much an abomination (right now), IMO. Sure, it "works". So did Flash. (edit: Just wanted to add, I love Flutter for mobile, even think desktop might work. Just don't think it's for web. Maybe for very specific app types.)
The crux of this is that the majority/plurality system is a winner-takes-all outcome. I would like to propose a completely fair (and totally unacceptable) Voting system:

Blues and Violets each get a single vote. On election day, everyone puts their vote into a big hat, and one of the ballots is pulled out. Whoever is on that ballot, gets a unilateral victory. This system has numerous good properties:

1. Power never falls into a state where the majority party can stay in control. Gerrymandering is a non-issue.

2. Every vote counts. Instead of a single, tie breaking vote changing the outcome of the election, each additional vote increases the odds. If there are 40% violets and 60% blues, the likelihood of a violet leader is still 40%.

3. Extreme minority votes still matter. If 99% of the population is blue, and 1% of the population is violet, violet supporters still feel their voice can be heard.

4. (edit) Political spending is massively reduced, since there is a diminishing return to spending ever more money trying to tip the 49% into being 51%.

IMO we should just drop this notation altogether and just let angry people get angry, and ignore 'em. Sarcasm is better when it doesn't have to be labeled.
Does cooking with vegetable oils increase the risk of chronic diseases?
"Derivate" I think here is red herring. The biggest problem is that the combination of kernel + nvidia modules could never be redistributed, which means that technically no distro should have been able to ship these drivers by default.
So people find non-chronological feeds and suggested content appealing?

I thought people were always saying they hated these features.

Interesting, I didn't know that. I looked it up, and I really liked this Madison quote:

> I prefer to rely on a localhost proxy to perform TLS instead of the browser.

I also would want to do this (it would be more efficient than needing to decrypt and encrypt it twice), but unfortunately the options for the proxy configuration does not seem to allow that.
Well, sure, _for now_.

To assert that that will be true for the future is just a failure of imagination.

It's like the assertion that "640k should be enough for anyone".

> don't depend on any special Linux behaviour.

This is the key point, and it is nearly impossible for firmware blobs to depend on any OS behavior, let alone "special Linux behavior". The only way they could do so is via the open-source part, so it should be easy enough to check that.
It's local lingo.

From Wikipedia:

> A distinct set of definitions of the term "republic" evolved in the United States, where the term is often equated with "representative democracy."

The term "representative democracy" is typical in poli-sci circles and basically everywhere that's not the US, but I don't think that's actually the distinction the poster was looking for—some kind of constitution or other super-law that's relatively hard to change, plus strong rule of law (which is more about practices and norms than about what's written on some paper), seem much more important for preserving minority interests.
Don’t some European counties like Germany have the number of delegates forced to roughly equal the total vote totals for a party? So if you have “60% violet party and 40% teal party” but the seats are split 50/50 10 closest seats move over to violet?

Theres no perfect way to solve it but the ultimate problem is social: one party is willing to gerrymander to win and the other doesn’t because they don’t have to but would if they actually saw any gain in it.
The sequel to MOO, and most 4X games made since then, have always felt inferior to me. MOO was like a game of chess. The rules were relatively simple, but complex enough to give you the "box of chocolates" games this article talks about.

MOO2 bogged you down in micromanaging colony buildings, etc. and other 4X games made since have added far more complex systems. The results feels like chess where each piece now has bolted-on RPG stats that have to be individually micromanaged. The game becomes more complex, but not in an elegant way. I don't want to manage maces and chain-mail and morale. I just want to play chess!

I haven't really kept up with 4X games. Are there any that have tried to get back to the basic chess of MOO instead of bolting on complications that bog you down in micromanagement?
Given what Red Hat and the CentOS project did to CentOS 8 I have no desire to use RHEL ever again. Right now it's just Ubuntu LTS and Debian for my needs. Working on eliminating RHEL at work as well, wherever I can.
When and why did progressives become authoritarian?
Redhat is my favorite Linux distro for my workstation. It just works and is rock solid. I wish they had a node locked license option like windows pro workstation,https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/windows-10-pro-for-worksta..., for $300-500 for a major version instead of always having to manage subscriptions.
That's a California-style jungle primary, not an open primary, and it's very dubious that it promotes centrism.
But I believe Android does care about the domain an Eduroam user said their user is in. So, if your user says I'm example@mit.edu I think it will expect the certificate from the 802.1X server (at MIT) to have a certificate for mit.edu, which is what will happen in Eduroam.

The certificates used are PKIX certificates, they say they're for TLS Server Authentication (which they technically are) and the subjects are DNS server names (these are, after all, servers on the Internet) and so realistically the only PKI exercising any oversight over such certificates so that it could Just Work™ which is what your users want, is the Web PKI.

So this actually makes sense?

I agree (that’s what I meant under the more expressive part), though it is a bit more complex with identity in the way. Java’s enums are also the singleton pattern.

Java recently got ADTs as well in the form of sealed classes and records, here an enum would look like this:

sealed interface Color permits Red, Blue, Green {

}

record Red() {}
record Blue() {}
record Green() {}

You can now create as many Red instance as you want, they will be “equals” only under equals(), not under ==, while the latter is also true for the enum case.
That was part of the release today I believe.

I don't want the browser to enforce TLS configuration; the proxy could be configurable to set it how I want it to accept or not accept broken TLS configurations.

It is perhaps a reference to a libertarian themed science fiction novel published in 1966, called "The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress". In it, inhabitants of the Moon were called Lunatics or Loonies.
I certainly lied about my age to get my Hotmail account (which dates me fairly well).

I'm sure there are plenty enough kids who accurately represented their age between 13-18 to make this quite enforceable. I probably said I was 13 when I was 12, or something close enough.

Do a PSA campaign telling parents to make sure their kids' social media apps correctly represent their age to keep them safe. Would work well enough.

Probably true. But I would hope that argument could be deflated easily, since it was the senate that was supposed to give smaller states a disproportionate amount of influence.

The audience is also able to detect professional speakers like yourself, with calculated hand movements and inauthentic voice pitch calibration and is equally turned off -- its just that professional speakers so rarely admit that since they make money off saying otherwise. The problem here is just that the topics aren't compelling enough. And you rarely get a good speaker who also knows the topic well so as to be perceived as authentic.

Look at Elon's keynotes, they are TERRIBLE from a public speaking perspective, but excellent content that generally is interesting. Also no one perceives them as inauthentic, just off-hand-ish. It works.

In principle, I want to agree. In practice, I think the vast majority of martial arts schools are nothing more than glorified day care facilities with a side of calisthenics.

They don't constructively do anything to actually teach those issues of control and discipline to the students. It's not enough to give people the skills and then expect them to learn from experience the restraint necessary to not use it. They don't do anything at all to prepare their students for the realities of what it means to use violence against another human being. It is an emotionally traumatizing experience.

Nothing like that was ever mentioned in any of the schools across multiple styles that I attended. All that was discussed was the potential of an "unfair" legal ruling if your attacker decided to press battery chargers against you. There was always an implication of "be careful when looking for a place to use these skills", not "avoid it completely, except on completely unavoidable threat to life and limb."
He stills gets 12 months of salary? What?!
Exactly. I was in an interview with a data engineering consultancy, and the CEO goes on a weird rant about "there's givers and takers in a company, which are you?" and then proudly told me about firing a couple of people that week.

Was a very useful interview for me, and I've told a few old colleagues who were approached by the company also about it, so it saved them time too.
Good idea, but he stuff I work on it just for fun, and not as important as I made it sound. My point was that I'm competent and motivated, but stress from work encroaches on that and ruins it.
