Early #Perl luminary and author (#OReilly camel and llama books, many magazine articles, etc.) Randal Schwartz, a/k/a merlyn, is in dire financial straits.
He needs gainful #employment NOW of any kind, and although his #programming language of choice now is #Dart and the #Flutter framework, he’s willing to fall back on his @Perl chops.
Experienced "jack of all" developer in #php, #c++, #c#, #java, #js, #dart, etc looking for full-time or long-term project work.
Experience in large websites, webapps (small/med biz), mobile apps, dashboards/dataviz, audio/video processing/streaming, APIs, #as400, automation, etc.
Has worked Fortune 500, much prefer non-profit.
Would love to work on a team, and would be happy to maintain a legacy project.
Woah. #DART massively deformed Dimorphous! The a/b ratio (longest axis to second longest axis) before impact was 1.02 (like a hamburger patty), but is now 1.3 (more sausage-ish) from multiple lines of evidence. That's huge, and a huge motivation for the ESA #Hera mission.
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.
🛰️☄️ #HeraMission prend forme : le module de propulsion et le module principal ont été couplés.
A venir : l'installation du plateau des instruments scientifiques.
La sonde européenne #ESA doit aller voir sur place les dégâts engendrés par la mission #Dart sur l'astéroïde Didymos. Décollage en 2024. Arrivée en 2026.
Today’s #SpacetoberChallenge is #Future! VOYAGE TO THE TWO ASTEROIDS is a whimsical #watercolor#painting of the #DART mission about to redirect #asteroid Dimorphos. In my view, this mission demonstrating asteroid redirection is the future of planetary protection, and an incredible feat!
It explains the performance and interop benefits. And how targetting WasmGC is like targetting a new VM, with existing LLVM-based implementations not currently compatible.
Languages that have working WasmGC implementations: #Kotlin, #Dart, #Java, #OCaml (wasm_of_ocaml) 😍
NASA-Sonde Dart: Hubble findet neue Objekte nach Kollision mit Asteorid
Als die NASA-Sonde Dart in den Asteroiden Dimorphos gerast ist, hat sie Gesteinsbrocken weggeschleudert. Einige hat Hubble trotz der immensen Distanz entdeckt.
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
Mein kurzer Trip in #Dublin ist leider schon zu ende und ich bin nun bereits am HB.
Leider konnte ich nicht mit #DART fahren. Aber mit den Bussen und Trams konnten wir heute noch viel sehen. Und dank der Visitor Leap Card sind die #ÖV auch ganz günstig (16 Euro für 3 Tage). Kann man sich nach Hause liefern oder am Flughafen kaufen.
Für den direkten Transport von und zum Hotel kann ich https://aircoach.ie empfehlen, sollte euer Hotel direkt an der Linie 700 sein.
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.
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.
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....
