Working with #flutter and #dart, and an annoyance is the linter complaining that some things should be marked const.
Yes, linter, you're absolutely correct about that. But if you can figure that out, why the hell doesn't the compiler do it automagically as an optimisation step?
If there is a good reason why the compiler can't do that, I'd love to hear it.
When NASA crashed its DART spacecraft into the asteroid Dimorphos, the goal was to shorten the space rock's orbit around its parent asteroid. The mission succeeded - but Dimorphos' orbit has continued to shrink and it isn't clear why
The NASA DART spacecraft that rammed into asteroid Didymos's moonlet Dimorphos on Sep 26, 2022, not only created a long tail of fine particles, it also ejected dozens of large boulders from its surface.
The Hubble space telescope imaged 37 such boulders in Dec 2022, ranging in size from 1 m to 6.7 m, which are drifting away from Dimorphos at ~1 km per hour. The total mass in these boulders is about 0.1% that of Dimorphos.
I’ve had the itch to create an app that addresses a very specific hobby need I have.
While it definitely could be a PWA app — I’ve got zero interest in paying for hosting, domains, etc.
I own only an iPhone and iPad, but I’ve decided to use #Flutter. My initial impression is that it and #Dart borrow heavily from other popular programming languages and app platforms. I don’t mind that at all. It feels familiar and fresh. #Wpf, #ReactJs, #Swift, #SwiftUI, #TypeScript
One year ago today the #DARTMission crashed into asteroid Dimorphos. This image was taken by the accompanying #LICIACube spacecraft and shows ejecta streaming out after the impact.
Stelle mir bei #Dart immer vor, dass es aus einer Jagdmethode eines Steinzeitstammes entstanden ist.
Männer stehen mit kleinen #Pfeilen da, während ein Bison oder ein Mammut auf sie zustürmt, um ihnen im letzten Moment einen Pfeil ins Auge zu werfen.
Der Stamm war matriarchalisch organisiert und die Frauen wählten die Jäger aus. Der Stamm war auch relativ schnell ausgestorben.
I'll be honest, after years of using #Kotlin working with #Dart and #Flutter in the year 2023 feels reminiscent of how it was using Java 7 for Android development more than a decade ago.
Thinking about submitting a talk or two to Fluttercon USA. Company would like me to talk about mobile observability, but I kinda also want to talk about Dart embedding. Curious if Fluttercon is a good fit for that....
It occurred to my today that I have been coding for 40 years, starting with ZX Spectrum BASIC and currently enjoying #dart and #flutter. I still love #coding, it still excites me and I am always learning. I can't image a time when I don't code.
I'm a slightly autistic introvert, interested in a lot of things like surfing, design, technologies and computer science. Russian (native), English (foreign). 35+ yrs old.
I recently posted a lot about using code generation with build_runner for productive #Dart and #Flutter development. Now that I am working on an in-depth article on this topic, I'd like to ask for your input. What questions do you have or what particular aspects do you struggle with? Let me know in the comments!
In the meantime, I thought I’d gather 5️⃣ useful resources I previously shared about code generation in a single thread below.
everyone’s talking about the python layoffs but the #flutter and #dart layoffs seem to have flown under the radar. from a mobile dev perspective they are more concerning regarding google’s commitment to its supposedly first class cross platform development ecosystem
