Ah, I should perhaps have clarified. I didn't mean "popular" in the sense of widespread adoption, but. More "for it's domain, is it liked/disliked".

I've used it to build complicated app that interacts with low level C++ code, and I found it exceptionally well put together. High level UI code by flutter was a pleasure to work with, with interactive development and hot reloads.

Low level performant development with all the tools and legacy of C++, and all of it put together and debugged with fairly powerful tools as well.

I cannot think of any stack that could solve the same problem. That is, without having to build separate apps for Android and iOS. And even then, I'd consider it a more productive environment to use flutter even if you target one of the platforms.

And then, the language features themselves. Dart handles null safety in a way no other language and tooling does. It goes beyond null-handling syntax, and can give runtime-guarantees (assuming you check the remote code boundaries) for null safety.

The package management is great. So, if the languages is solely a great development environment for mobile apps, with the potential for desktop/web targets... I would say great job all around.

The only negative/red-flag this has is being managed and driven by google.

---

I've been a developer for the larger part of my life now, and I very much respect the dart language and project. It is well put together, does the right abstractions at the right places. The syntax is great. The standard library is satisfying. The tooling and OS abstractions are great. And I would honestly place it top 3 in terms of enjoyment and productivity. The top three being perhaps rust and kotlin.
Most power generation facilities are natural gas fired, using large aero derivitive gas turbine engines (essentially the same engine that is in the 747 - LM6000 vs CF6 for example) with a combined cycle steam turbine to capture the energy from excess heat. This arrangement has a thermodynamic efficiency of 60%. Even with electrical transmission losses, the efficiency is still far better (1.7X) than having the power plant located under the hood of the car.
>Lack of storage? No.

Why no? Not every machine is your 32GB RAM machine… If it has to run on a slower machine… say a raspberry pi with a slow flash drive and a slow external drive accessed over USB… being much smaller means speed.

> Lack of computing power or RAM? No.

Why no? Yes.

We have had multitasking operating systems for a while now. Electron apps are tolerable because they are few. If every single application was done with electron, it'd be worse than windows95 on a 486.

They still sell lots of computers with 8GB of RAM, although I'm sure your one has at least 2x, probably 4x as much.

Then, with incorrect assumptions you can reach any result that you desire, but it is meaningless.

That's only true of plug-in hybrids. "Hybrid" just means a car with an electric and ICE drive train. Most hybrids aren't plug-in hybrids. They have no ability to charge their battery except from the engine.
> the main wiring loom was cut and Mercedes wanted an absurd amount of money for replacing it

Modern cars can contain over a mile of wire and some of the important wires are all laid out during early stages of manufacturing, making it difficult to get at them for maintenance. Some cars have better access than others, but if they were carelessly tearing the car down, there's a good chance you need to take off, rewire, and test every ECU in the car.

As far as I can find online, most repair shops ask for about $1700-$2500 just to replace the main wiring harness, including the cost of parts and labour. A luxury Mercedes will have more wires and more automated systems, so you'll easily end up in the higher end of that range.

With a car in such bad shape, I wouldn't want my company to try to repair that car either, not without a "this is a bad idea" surcharge anyway. You just know it'll never run as well as it used to and if you make it a standard practice, you know at least a portion of your customers will blame you for it because you put the "repaired" sticker on that car.

The profitability of the second hand used components market is a real problem. I don't want a future where you can't reuse the parts in a broken down car because of some hard-coded encryption key, but the theft situation is seriously out of hand. Sadly, I think the Volvo approach will be the norm in the future.

Only if you did it at a company like Google where it's being talked about and you've got that large a user base. Inside most of corporate America internal infrastructure / modernization efforts get little recognition.

I wrote an entire (Torch-like - pre PyTorch) C++-based NN framework myself, just as a hobbyist effort. Ran on CPU as well as GPU (CUDA). For sure it didn't compete with TensorFlow in terms of features, but was complete enough to build and train things like ResNet. A lot of work to be sure, but hardly legendary.
As to whether those hybrids have a 'huge effect' on 'global warming' depends on many factors but assuming the narrative around climate change - the term 'global warming' has been swapped for the latter since the average global temperature has gone down for a number of years after an earlier steady rise - in relation to the CO₂ hypothesis holds truth the main factor of importance is the source of the carbon used in the fuel. Fossil fuels add carbon to the atmosphere while synthetic fuels made from 'renewable' sources - biomass and direct carbon capture being the most likely ones - do not. Especially the latter - captured atmospheric carbon in combination with hydrogen from ocean-based wind and solar sources - would be a clearly carbon-neutral synthetic fuel source. If such a process could be made economically viable it could also solve the problem with storing hydrogen produced by those ocean-based sources:

CO₂ -> C + O₂
2 H₂O -> 2 H₂ + O₂
C + 2 H₂ -> CH₄ (methane)

Theoretically it is simple. Building an economically viable installation, not so. With the amount of attention the 'climate crisis' gets this should not be a barrier given that untold billions of euros are being spent. Take some of that money which currently goes to nonsensical political vanity projects and redirect it into a Manhattan-project style research and development project with the aim of not just finding some theoretical process but actually creating working systems which can be installed and used. The advantage of creating methane is clear since it enables existing infrastructure to be used for transport and power production - including ICE-equipped vehicles. Either create heavier liquid hydrocarbons using the Fisher-Tropsch [1] process or convert diesel engines to use methane.

It's not just about runway length. Noise reduction would also make it easier to use smaller local airports. Electric aircraft are already more quiet, but there's probably room for even more reduction by using ducted fans or toroidal propellers.

We may also see a return to more of a hub-and-spoke model. Fly from a smaller, local airport close to you. Fly to some hub near the half-way point, switch to a plane that takes you to a small airport close to your destination. If planes are smaller maybe security can be relaxed too. Total time spent travelling could be comparable to taking a direct flight with a large international airport further from your origin and destination. Then the aircraft doesn't need to be very long range.
I've given plenty of evidence as to why it's a reasonable assumption. But doesn't seem like you have much access to nuance in your thinking.
Wow, this is fantastic. Love the 'guess' game mode.
As another side note, using ChatGPT as a search engine is not so great.

Recently, I was trying to find golang libraries for managing authorization. The first one was a well known library (I was incidentally trying to avoid).

But the others 4 were complete were completely fantasy projects. ChatGPT simply invented complete projects with descriptions and github urls.

Interestingly, looking at the urls, it seemed to actually be a composition of authors working on the subject and similar project in other languages.

I also observed the same behavior when I tried to find community resale/recycling centers (ressourcerie in French) in my neighborhood, and sure enough it generated a bunch of fake addresses.

It's logical in hindsight, ChatGPT is a generative AI after all. But these results left me scratching my head at first.
It isn't precisely "wrapped", but this is essentially how all natural gas fired generation facilities work.

This is a brief guide to the various papers and books that William Benzon and David Hays have written about the long-term evolution of culture. Much of the work is descriptive in that it characterizes a variety of cultural phenomena at four different cultural Ranks as characterized by the conceptual mechanisms available to the culture but does not attempt to describe the causal process by which these mechanism have evolved in human history. The ranks have numerical designations that align with widely recognized historical epochs: Rank 1, preliterate; Rank 2, literacy; Rank 3, post-Renaissance West, industrialism; and Rank 4, 20th century. Ranges of phenomena considered: basic cognition and thinking, narrative, music, expressive culture, technology, forms of governance and economic organization. The approach is briefly contrasted with work by Robert Wright, Richard Dawkins, Boyd and Richerson, and others.

Do you have a more coherent and substantial reply or are you just looking to call me absurd?
True, hence the horrible BPTR/BSTR types (requiring shifting the pointer two bits). Most of the rest of the OS was written in C, but I think the point was that for a whole lot of us mere users of AmigaOS, writing in C felt horribly inefficient. E.g. the C compilers didn't know about the OS guarantees of which registers would not get clobbered by calls into system libraries, and so would unnecessarily reload the library base address all the time, for example, before considering the lack of all kinds of optimisations in the C compilers most of us had access to.
Generics are awesome. They allow you to do partial typing. You don't specify the exact type but you constrain the output type based on the input type. So you have functions that can operate on many types but still have strong typing.

Wantarray is not a generic implementation. It's closer to reflection. You can detect the type of variable the caller is putting your functions result in. Then you can branch your program based on the variable type that the caller wants. I guess this is similar to type inference but not exactly as it's not part of the type system. For example, if they want an array return the amounts of each transaction in an array if not return the sum of the transaction amounts.

> in Amsterdam where mushrooms are legal, the shops are quite careful to ensure they are giving you the rundown on what to prepare for, dosages, finding a comfortable and reliable setting, safety, etc.

Last time I was in Amsterdam was quite a few years ago but... magic mushrooms were illegal. Instead they sell psilocybin truffles so roughly the same thing. When I've bought them, from a few different popular shops, no words of caution or safety were exchanged.
Well said. This is the way, unless you work for yourself or with something you're passionate about. Sometimes, just meeting the bare minimum is all that's required or should be done. Anyone can be let go at anytime; we’re expendable.
Using dart and flutter every day for the last 3 years, I strongly disagree with you.
Dart/Flutter is a lower level framework than something like vue, so yes it is more verbose. But there are standars, what you are referring to are just libraries builded on top of them. There are two ways to navigate, a legacy one and a new one, but this is normal in a young framework. State management? You are covered by the framework, wants something different? Just pick your poison between the available flavors.
The base is sane and stable as a young growing framework can be and so is the ecosystem. Can’t say the same about JS

Maybe two weeks are not enough to understand something like Flutter and Dart…

My two cents

What you are forgetting is that diesel engines only work with diesel and gasoline ones only work with gasoline. This creates a natural incentive for the customers to not mix this up.

In the e-fuel vs trad-fuel story you do not have that incentive.

What you DO have, is an incentive to actually do the switch. Projections put e-fuel production costs at a 1500% premium over fossil fuels and wide spread availability is actually a hard scientific problem as even the announced global production capacity* of e-fuels is only enough for a few thousand vehicles.

* Apparently, to date, the biggest portion of announced e-fuel production misses either an energy provider or financial backing or both.

Acme is a large East coast supermarket chain.

"Acme" as a brand name was very common in a number of industries and predates Looney Tunes.
Got laid off (as a CTO) in January from a subsidiary of a big famous multinational. Had a few interviews since, made the last 2 on one occasion, but the 1 who got it then had to lay off ~50 engineers as his first project. Dodged a bullet?

Another place made an offer, but then failed to raise what they hoped on Series B, and pulled the offer.

Applied to lots of other places, lowered expectations, etc, mainly just getting ghosted now. Even the personal network has dried up, everyone is circling wagons. I can't really put my finger on what's gone so wrong.

My self-confidence has definitely taken a hit. Some days I'm pretty low.
But I'm turning a side hustle into a proper bootstrap startup and enjoying that. MVP done and I have my first customer! I have a few months cash left before I start having to sell things... :( fingers crossed.

I've definitely become more cynical about the industry than before. One thing that I'm really cynical about is big tech companies, especially but not only in the consulting space, that show off their social justice credentials, e.g. International Womens Day, diverse hiring, etc. That's all a big fat lie.

I survived 2001 quite well, I had a PE-backed startup then, and made it to late 2002 before it got shut down by the PE guys. By that time the market was picking up again and I've never had trouble getting good, well-paid work ... until now.
Not sure if there's a full user space runtime for BPF progs, but there are lots of user space tools which are useful for working with BPF progs. For example, you can use veristat (https://github.com/libbpf/veristat) to easily see whether a BPF prog would be verified, and collect statistics, etc.

I hope this makes the GTK developers realize how detrimental API change can be. I get that some things need to change, but how many other open source projects are going to have some level of trouble keeping up?
Hopefully not. GTK4 deliberately removed support for subpixel font antialiasing, making fonts noticeably more blurry/ugly on non-HiDPI screens. There's a ton of FHD (1920x1080) or 1920x1200 screens out there that are perfectly fine for most usecases, but GTK4 turns them into landfill. :-(

Inkscape needs to decide whether it wants to be just an SVG editor or a full vector editor.

It dumps tons of junk in the SVG and has pretty poor tools for managing the SVG hierarchy (resorting to text editing for some things), but at the same time they've used the excuse of being an SVG editor to avoid implementing things like path thickness and mesh gradients for years (yes, there's a path effect extension now but it's hugely buggy).

The fix for this doesn't need any cryptography. Nothing more than the key receiver and the main ECU agreeing on a randomized number in the "unlock" code. Allow unrandomized unlock once, agree on and store random number on both sides, from here on insist on this number. Sure this is insecure in the sense that a device listening to the bus can capture the fixed unlock code for that car, but who cares, it completely disables this attack (generic device can unlock ANY car of that model/series with no prior knowledge).

Of course some sort of override is needed to reset the pairing in case one or the other side is replaced in a repair. But this can be made cumbersome enough for a thief not to bother.

I'm sure this is well in scope for a field firmware upgrade, so hopefully this attack vector doesn't last long.
Then the package should just not exist in apt and you can go install it with snap instead? I'm just learning about this idea that I might use apt and somehow end up with a snap from this thread :(.

The thought of a return to more of a hub-and-spoke model sounds like a total nightmare. It'd take a huge price difference before I'd consider that, personally (EDIT: As in, I usually check "direct flights only" or equivalent and only relent if the cost is ridiculously much higher). Then again my perspective is being near multiple large international airports, so maybe that might appeal to some.
