Tip about Dart : Don't use initState for stuff that doesn't directly concern UI (setting the hint of a text field, for example). Most of my Flutter pages rely either on having very few things to do, or having a MyPageController ob

As with anything, it's in the middle ground that the best solution is often found. I'm working on a piece of software that's so unfragmented that one of the exe it produces, which by all accounts ought to be around 10MB, ends

This issue blows it way out of proportions. The code is still freely available, Github just doesn't want to give away resources for free because it's a for-profit company. If you're mad at a for-profit company for not giving

This is the difference between the law and the spirit of the law. Copyright is there to incentivize creation and innovation, and the large-scale use of AI might reasonably go against this incentive. The law doesn't exist in a vacuum wh
