> todo examples being submitted [...]

Oh I'm sure plenty of that happens, but that's true of all SDKs. Plenty of people do that with Android Views, plenty of people do that with Swift UI, etc. I have no reason to believe that Flutter is particularly different from the others in terms of the proportion of apps of this kind.

> Totally agree, it seemed more to me people were hired for this vs expanding elsewhere.

Ah, no. We've hired more engineers for iOS work in the past few months, but the games toolkit was mostly devrel and a contractor, if I recall correctly. Similarly for things like the pinball demo or the Wonderous app, those are primarily done by contracting an agency rather than people on the Flutter team, with the agency's feedback directly feeding into the engineering team's priorities. So for example, Wonderous was great because during its development it helped us find a whole bunch of issues we needed to fix.

> after I wrote this I was sent links to other people on twitter lamenting the same growth into other sectors while mobile was not polished

Again, the various areas aren't comparable or exchangeable. For example, Canonical is contributing to the Linux port, but it's not like Canonical would ever contribute to the iOS port, after all, their interest is in using Flutter on Ubuntu. Similarly, people Google hires to work on the iOS port are typically not the kind of people who want to work on Android or Windows, and so on. There's lots of areas of specialization, and if you task people to work on areas they're not experts on and not interested in, you're just going to burn them out and get low-quality work.

Even if people were commodities and interchangeable, though, I don't think it makes sense to focus on one area at the exclusion of another. There is more value in Flutter being able to target seven platforms (Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, Linux, web, and Fuchsia) well, than there would be in targeting just one platform completely perfectly. Especially because the effort to get from zero to excellent is much less than the effort required to get from excellent to perfect. Flutter is not unique in this. Kotlin isn't perfect on Android, but that doesn't mean JetBrains should avoid working on web support. C++ isn't perfect on AT&T Unix, but that doesn't mean people shouldn't implement it on other platforms. HTML isn't perfect for documents, but that doesn't mean we should not have extended it to applications. My house's kitchen isn't perfect, but I still want a bedroom.

> I have my opinion that the base is people who deal with the language / framework on a nearly weekly basis

By that definition, I am not a programmer, because there's literally no language that I use every week. Indeed, there are entire weeks where I don't write any code at all!

> https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/110431

Looks like Chris is working on that one. (By the way, that issue was filed by a Flutter team member, so presumably that answers your question about whether the Flutter team notices iOS issues.) (Also, that issue is a good example of the tools that we use to test this stuff.)

Another issue is host environment interop.

All the tooling seems geared to outputting "glue code" as typescript or javascript, and I've yet to find any real documentation on if it's even possible to do so for other languages without massive amounts of manual work.

So my initial elation at finding a warm extension for php (wasmer-php), which would let us bolt in secure, sandboxed scripting languages for customer projects... Is now on the back burner as while it can run some example wasm, anything made with wasi or emscriptem is unusable.

It only takes a quick glance at sites like Stack Overflow to see that things like character encodings, the difference between the external representation of a string and its actual content, different quoting rules in different contexts (CSV versus XML versus JSON versus ...) is a complete mystery to many people trying to work as developers.

In print, code is often represented in a monospace font, materials intended for beginners sometimes indicate stuff that you are actually supposed to type with little keycap symbols, etc. Have there been any programming languages (with associated IDE:s) where strings were represented by typography (or colour, or whatever) rather than by surrounding them with some sort of quotation marks?

I'm really struggling to follow along. Control theory is nothing but a set of math tools to derive controllers and filters. Just because most people stick to linear systems with gaussian noise doesn't mean you're limited to that. I'm not sure how a quality control methodology has anything to do with control theory in general.
Wasm doesn't get rid of JS in the browsers right away (but long-term I suspect that JS is going to be implemented on top of wasm). Wasm itself is not JS-based tho, as evidenced by all the standalone wasm runtimes.

And it's not any more or less transparent than a minified blob of JS.

No doubt that Paul has an amazing memory, above ordinary but I would put it at freakish level. There's quite a few people who remember events, people and music really well. Anybody whose a frequent writer would def report similar recalled names and events leaking from their subconscious into their work. Probably happens to all of us at some point.

Another issue is that there's an obviously selection bias. The article only picks up the amazing stuff (rightly so). If my friends went through my life and listed all the amazing genius moments I've remembered something obscure, you'd thing I'm a genius too. But what you wouldn't get is the 1000s of times I've forgotten stuff.

I'm not attacking the editor. They are doing what they are paid to do, and the article was fun to read, but bias is just something readers should be aware about.

I skied on weekdays, shopped at Target at 11am with nobody there, and played video games.

About complexity / effort, there are multiple things to take into consideration. In the case of deploying an application, in Wasm the complexity is on the compilation side. However, once you have your app compiled into Wasm, it's a portable binary you can move anywhere. For other apps, you may need to deploy source code, install the required dependencies in the remote environment and configure it.

It's true that Wasm lacks of the tooling and ecosystem than other apps have. You can find infinite tutorials about how to deploy a Python app. You will find a few for publishing a Wasm module.

And about performance, you are right. Currently Wasm introduces a performance penalty, although the different runtimes are working hard on it. The other side of this is that you gain an extra isolation layer that improves the security. By default, an application won't be able to access any resources on the system.

Said this, WebAssembly is still in the early stages. mod_wasm is a way to bring this technology to a well-known web server. However, it is not meant to start moving all your workloads now as it's still not mature enough :)

This is a really exciting development. It's super awesome to see again what the supabase team does. Thanks for your great work.

Here is my use case: We use firestore + PG. PG has a copy of all firestore data. And PG is used for search, aggregation, etc. (Everything firestore can't do).
Sadly, the developer flow breaks during local development. Because each developer would need to have a local PG server running.
My dream is to simply add PG via NPM and use the wasm version during local development. That way, everything simply works via NPM/node

I think an in-memory node only version of PG might even be simpler to achieve than the already developed approach. As it doesn't need the websocket workaround.

But that isn’t quite the question asked by the headline, right? From the article, which tries to address the headline question:

> ...common equity tier one ratio, which reflects its financial resilience, of 13.5 per cent...

Market cap is one map. Supposedly, reported common equity tier one ratio is a map more resembling the territory of the headline question. Except the supposed territory is based upon a high latency read and the market cap is supposed to be a low latency read.

I’ve yet to find a list of the top 80% by valuation coco’s referred to in the article, nor do I see a reckoning of the recent market turmoil in bonds and equities affecting that ratio; it might not be good. Broad market indices are down roughly say 15% since the quarter the ratio was reported, maybe? Surely that wouldn’t linearly shave off that ratio down to 11.3%?

MMOs are still stuck with the concept of permanently undamagable items that can be worth hundreds of in-game hours because of insanely low drop rates.

If items had a finite lifespan and you could replace them quickly like in Minecraft, then the downside of losing your items would be far more acceptable.

This is also the reason why MMO economies tend toward deflation. Players craft thousands of food items that never perish and just pile up in some auction house or automated market place.

If every player sold their items when they quit there would be more items than players.

I used to work in The City, for a time I considered to rent from there at a walking distance from work.

It's truly unique place and I love it but one day I stayed at work till late and noticed that the place turned into a ghost town once the salarymen went home. Then went a few times cycling there in the weekend and I was astonished how empty it was. I actually enjoy solitude but the area is very business oriented and scared me away. Kind of regret not living there for a while, it would have been an experience.

Here are a few photos at the off hours, a bit too empty for a place that is extremely crowded at the day.
