I think they're referring to the extra frame of latency when scrolling on Android. But then again, I've literally never heard anyone complain about that, I honestly don't think anyone notices, I believe the GitHub issue had to use a slow motion camera to even capture the issue.

Imagine how obvious the problem would be if they allowed that to show up to the average customer.

God, no. AI represents the antithesis of quality.

> That's 50 people serving the needs of 1,000,000. Doing a little bit of division, that means that every single member of the Flutter team is responsible for the needs of 20,000 Flutter developers!

Given that you could probably make a similar assertion about any popular framework, this doesn't strike me as particularly relevant.

I also found myself feeling a bit dumb after using Copilot for some time. It felt like I didn’t have to know the API, and it just auto-completed for me. Then I realized I was starting to forget everything and disabled Copilot. Now, when I need something, I ask ChatGPT (like searching on Stack Overflow).
> It is what makes the concept of "retirement" possible.

Sorry, I disagree. What makes retirement possible in highly advanced economies is a national pension. In the US and many other rich countries, a huge portion of elderly, retired people only live from national pension. It is scary how many poor, elderly people exist when you look closely. The vast majority of Americans will retire with zero or "peanuts" in their 401K, or spend it down very quickly, then become 100% dependent upon national pension ("Social Security") or their family/children/charity.

On a personal note, each time one of my co-workers shares about their retirement savings, I am shocked by the tiny amounts. They will retire into "virtual" poverty compared to their current compensation. They are living for today, not tomorrow.
Growflyer – Stop Guessing and Start Growing
I’m Kaizar, and I built Growflyer after getting tired of guessing why visitors leave websites without engaging. Growflyer is an all-in-one tool designed to give instant insights and help you convert those visitors before they bounce.

Here’s what makes Growflyer different from standard analytics tools:

Watch Users in Action: Our Session Replay feature lets you see exactly where visitors drop off or get frustrated. Imagine watching live feedback on your site, like having a user test session 24/7.

Smart Exit-Intent Popups & Notifications: We trigger the right messages right before users bounce—think personalized offers or reminders that grab attention at the exact moment they’re leaving.

Custom User Segments, Made Simple: Tired of broad, generic analytics? Our segmentation lets you create targeted groups (e.g., returning visitors, “just browsing”) and hit them with content that matches their behavior.

Real-Time Data, Real-Time Reactions: See who’s on your site and what they’re doing right now. Our live analytics let you track campaigns, engagement, and drop-off points as they happen.

Boost Credibility with Social Proof: Show your site’s activity live with notifications like “500 people are checking this out.” It’s a simple nudge that builds trust and urgency.

Our Story
We started Growflyer after noticing these gaps while developing various web projects. Instead of cobbling together analytics tools, exit-intent plugins, and engagement software, we decided to build a single, cohesive platform that makes it easy to get useful insights and act on them in real-time. We recently launched on Product Hunt and are eager to bring Growflyer to a wider audience.
I think people might be talking past each other on this issue. If you are on one platform only, then yes having apps behave the same is nice for muscle memory. However, if you're using multiple devices and platforms, then I want Slack to work the same regardless of device, I don't want iOS native navigation on the iPhone and Windows native navigation on the laptop.
There are many non-UTF-8/16/32 character encoding used in the wild which use these value in multi-byte character encoding. These values are used in the wild.

I think the decision forbidding newline in pathname is also wrong. It may break tons of existing code.
Disagree.

I still spend a good amount of time on boilerplate. Stuff that's not thinking hard about the problem I'm trying to solve. Stuff like units tests, error logging, naming classes, methods and variables. Claude is really pretty good at this, not as good as the best code I've read in my career but definitely better than average.

When I review sonnets code the code is more likely to be correct than if I review my own. If I make a mistake I'll read what I intended to write, and not what I actually wrote. Where as when I review sonnets there's 2 passes so the chance an error slips through is smaller.

if there are no interiors (maybe edges but no faces nor volumes) then the vertices on the diagonals are truly independent: eg QM on small scales, GR on large ones.

[I'm currently pondering how the "main diagonal" of a transition matrix provides objects, while all the off-diagonal elements are the arrows. This implies that by rotating into an eigenframe (diagonalising), we're reducing the diversion to -∞ (generalised eigenvectors have nothing to lose but their Jordan chains) and hence back in the world of classical boolean logic?]

> There are many "untested" substances.

I don't see your point.

Lots of substances may not need to be tested if they occur frequently in nature as we can assume that life has already mitigated the problems that they may or not cause. If we start to widely distribute these naturally occurring substances, then we need to re-examine what effects they may have (e.g. lead occurs naturally, but putting it into the air produced a very harmful effect on human development).

If it's a new substance that doesn't already occur in meaningful quantities, then we need to be very careful before we start putting it into water supplies as that has the potential to disrupt a wide variety of life and habitats. To merely consider it not harmful due to lack of testing is really foolish.
Also I would be surprised if people buy a soda instead of ice cream. I believe most either get an ice cream in addition to the menu or specifically because they came for an ice cream.

Flutter Web is for web apps, not web sites, so much of those concerns don't necessarily apply. And it's not "impossible" simply because Chrome itself runs on Skia which until recently Flutter did too, so clearly they were able to implement scrolling at least one time correctly.

They like to entertain crazy theories, but there’s a cost, as has been observed multiple times in the past. I do still like to listen to Steven.

I think the whole problem is how he presents the podcast as being very factual, data driven and scientific and on the other end he just lack rigour in some cases - like this one.

Basic research has become rare in journalism, but they either should stop pretending to be data driven or should do their homework.

The best way to get useful answers was (and for me still is) to ask Goggle for "How do I blah site:stackoverflow.com". Without the site filter, Google results suck or are just a mess, and stackoverflow's own search is crap.
When I said Scando I meant Finland. So, mountains are out of the question! Also tidal races.

OTOH there's mines, but oddly enough I've seen no discussion in the media of using them.

So.. there's no simple land/geographic features worth exploiting. OTOH some storable liquid/gas is more realistic. There's also sand batteries - Helsinki city has one - but they're maybe not so easy to do residentially/DIY, I would expect the neighbors to complain.
I'm glad you like raku and I won't split hairs over small vs. tiny.

Since you mention it, I would say that raku is yet to find its killer app. I think for general purpose languages in general, it is hard to predict this zeitgeist - you know Ruby was around for 10+ years before the famous 15 mins Rails video. Another effective strategy for breaking into the mainstream is to have the weight of a big/influential corporation behind you - Java(Sun), JS(Netscape), Go(oogle), Rust(AWS), F#(MS), Swift(Apple) ... that doesn't apply to raku either. I for one would be happy to have a strategy for this - and would welcome your thoughts on what this should contain.

In the meantime, I guess the hope for breaking into the mainstream is to do a solid job with language development. Recently the focus has been on Raku AST (which is a forerunner to Macros). The number of passing test-files with the new RakuAST grammar are now 142/153 (make test) and 1158/1355 (make spectest).

In addition to this, the community has actively taken over support for the raku IDE which was kindly donated by Edument ... Comma Plugin 2.0 is now available (IntelliJ IDEA plugin) along with several other tooling options.

Yes, there have been some (too many!) historic missteps - but the rakudo compiler / moarvm (runtime) combination has been the settled path since 2015.

I'm sorry to hear that `.assuming` was 1000x slower codepath for you and that issue was not fixed in a timely way. I choose to use raku in my business for small projects and throw away scripts, data munging and notebook work where the power of the language and ease of quickly getting to working code saves time. While I think a medium-large deployment to make a productised service is viable, it may still have to watch for and step around some gotchas like this.

I do contend that the raku community is sufficiently large and committed to deliver continuous improvement overall despite the high ambition and large surface area of the codebase ... perhaps latest GH stats would be a fairer metric (and I have not compared to LISP EMACS ;-) )...

The AI's are to a large degree trained on tutorial code, quick examples, howto's and so on from the net. Code that really should come with a disclamer note: "Dont use in production, only example code.".

This leads to your code being littered with problematic edge-cases that you still have to learn how to fix. Or in worst case you don't even notice that there are edge cases because you just copy-pasted the code and it works for you. The edge cases your users will find with time.
It's not so biased as that: the process makes some assumptions (mainly, that the image structure is relatively simple) but it is agnostic to whether it's looking at a black hole or some other image (it's not like an image generation AI where they fed it in a bunch of existing images of what they thought black holes might look like). The techniques they used are used in other areas of astronomy.

The criticism in this paper seems to be focused on how one of those assumptions could lead to the ring structure, not because they biased it with presupposed images, but due to the mathematics of how the techniques attempt to determine the image from the raw data. It makes some sense to me that this could happen, but I'm not really equipped to evaluate who seems to have the better points.
Since we're on an engineering website here, I would like to be pedantic and point out that it's kWh. If you write KWH that would mean Kelvin Watt henry, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of_Units. kWh means kilo Watt hours.
Boilerplate comes up all the time when writing Erlang with OTP behaviors though, and sometimes you have no idea if it really is the right way or not. There are Emacs skeletons for that (through tempo), but feels like they are sometimes out of date.
It is already giving you one, but it's not along the normal directions you can feel: you are not moving at your normal free-fall speed that you "should" have in the Earth's curved spacetime. It's like a friction force, it's not moving you, it's actively stopping you from moving.
Verbosity is a huge problem there
No it's a terrible deal for the end users which is why manufacturers are pushing hard as are iFixit. Manufacturers want to ship a 1 year warranty on stuff and then kick it over the fence to the end user to fix. iFixit etc want to maintain a repair business and culture.

The majority of goods on the market have zero support and are considered disposable. That needs to end. Better consumer protection law and mandatory warranties on devices should be the goal. Repair should be end of life extension only and routine maintenance (consumables like batteries).

Repair should be an exceptional situation on consumer electronics, not normalised!

And it should apply to crap like kids toys as well.
It's been ongoing for several years but you might have missed it. Vast reductions in cost. Continuous improvements in energy density. New chemistries. All very real and on the roads right now. Compared to 2008 which is when Tesla started producing cars and now (16 years), there been a massive progress on this. Even in the last few years, prices have come down a lot.

This article is talking about the next wave of improvements that are already out of the labs and in early test production. For example Quantumscape has been delivering on the roadmap they talked about years ago with regular updates. A few weeks ago, they announced that they are shipping so-called B Samples, to VW and other partners for testing. Right on time.

A B Sample is a pre-production quality but more or less feature complete battery cell. The next step is A samples, which are the more or less finished product. Those are supposed to be ready end of next year. From there they go to production; probably starting around the late 26/27/28 timeframe. That last step will be conditional on massive investments needed to build factories.

There will be a lot of new cells getting to production around the same time from companies like CATL, Factorial, BYD, Toyota, etc. CATL has announced 500wh/kg cells two years ago.

I know it's popular to be dismissive about any talk of battery improvements here. But this is not the same as some new hypothetical thing but companies that are in the final steps of bringing proven & working technology to market. They've all gone through many years of testing and iterating already. This stuff is coming to market. The only question is when and for how much.

People have unrealistic expectations. This won't be high volume, low cost production from day 1. Rather the opposite with cost gradually coming down and volume gradually going up. We'll be driving very cheap versions of existing chemistries for years to come. They're not going anywhere. Production for those cells is measured in multiple twh/year now. The revolution there has been the scale and cost.
My point is that admiring someone, someone being financially successful, etc. is not grounds for real trust. Having a high public profile and an excess of media impressions doesn't mean they've actually earned trust.

These might all be general signals for someone who is trustworthy, but proxies are not the real thing.

Trust that is not earned, is not trust at all.

Traditionally, quality broadsheets, even where owned by a person or company rather than a trust (the latter model is often preferred) have editorial independence. “Owner controls editorial policy” is more of a tabloid thing, so consumers looking for a quality broadsheet will likely go elsewhere.
There's a direct cost in money, time and lives that has come from the US's adherence to their US Customary Units (which are often different to the old imperial units). People have literally died because of the confusion caused by having multiple systems of units in common use with ambiguous names (degrees, gallons, etc). Each year industry worldwide spends an enormous amount of money indirectly precisely because of this problem and it's still incredibly unlikely to be fixed within my lifetime.

Bash-alternatives that are not completely compatible frankly just don't have a chance.

Or, what has already happened through the massive technological advances of the past thousand years, AI and robots replace human labor, and humans spend their time doing something else, whether being the person in charge of the robots, or breaking into an entirely new area of work that never existed before.

I don't know if this is true. The way psychosis manifests is influenced heavily by culture. In some places, hallucinations from psychosis are largely positive rather than threatening. https://news.stanford.edu/stories/2014/07/voices-culture-luh...
To further follow up... outside of the cities, Finland has a LOT of lightly populated land, and since EU entry, farming is not exactly going great guns. Land is cleared.

So AFAICT mass PV is a distinct possibility, and if it can be leveraged to reduce the cost of wintertime energy usage, it will find a firm foothold.

Never do anything to confirm a paranoid person's psychosis unless you have total control of the situation and a psychiatrist supervision. Never try to peace them by saying unrealistic things, you never know what's going on in their head that you just confirmed.

A mysterious new image generation model has appeared
> What does c17 add exactly, more C++-ish bullshit or not?

Multithreading support and such (atomics, thread-local storage and a guarantee that `errno` is in TLS), explicitly aligned types and allocations, dedicated types for strings known to be Unicode, _Noreturn, _Generic, _Static_assert, anonymous structs and unions in the nested position, quick_exit, timespec, exclusive mode ("x") in f[re]open, CMPLX macros.

I'm not even sure which one can be C++-ish bullshit possibly except for about two points:

- Multithreading does seem farfetched for causal users. In fact, I do think it could have been minimized without any actual harm, but multithreading itself needed to be specified because it greatly affects a memory model. (Before C11, C had no thread-aware memory model and different threading implementations were subtly different beyond what the standard stated.) Even JavaScript, originally without no notion of threads, eventually got a thread-aware memory model due to shared web workers. But that never meant JS itself need multithreading support in its standard library, and C could have done the same.

- `_Generic` is even more debatable, though I believe it was the only way forward when we accept <tgmath.h>, which is known to be a response to Fortran (other responses include `restrict`) and was impossible to implement in the portable manner before C11. As long as it retains its scary underline and title case, I guess it's fine.
I don't think US is genuinely interested in uncoupling with totalitarian regimes. There are many countries like Saudi Arab, UAE, Morocco that have way worse human rights record than China, and the US have no problem with selling even tanks and fighter jets to them. What's in US's real interest is staying more competitive over China and the support for democracy is only a cover story.

It's even worse when looking back in history, Taiwan was totalitarianly ruled before the 90s but US has been backing it ever since world war II.
First, I love this story. I'm on your side. For me personally, the most charming detail is that he paid in cash. I guess it was a while ago! Your story makes me think of the scene from the film "Casino" when the mafia guys spit into the "free" sandwiches that they give to the police. (Ref: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPufB6oaJFE)

It is weird to me that a guy like that even bothers to pick up his own daily black iced tea. Once you are making a few million dollars per year (and you have a net worth > 1B USD), I would assume that everything would be brought to you. Literally, have an assistant who does all of this stuff and brings it to your office. The most highly paid people that I have ever observed up close were in non-stop meetings all day long -- talkin' money! They had no time to buy their own daily coffee or lunch. There was an assistant who would bring everything to their office. That said, maybe he did it to "feel normal". For any human being, having a net worth > 1B USD must really screw with your world view.
