I think for a package versioning system to work, the ecosystem has to adhere to its principles. This is true for any package system. I think this post is an example of a package not adhereing to its principle; a major revision implies bre

You might be misinformed; according to https://medium.com/flutter/hummingbird-building-flutter-for-... Flutter for Web uses HTML & CSS where it can, and falls back to Canvas where it can't. Flutter for Web is

Even at ~$360k/year using Spanner, I wonder if Spanner is cheaper than the amortized cost of dedicating engineers to develop and maintain a custom MySQL sharding solution, on top of the AWS bill.

Ad-hoc basis. Usually comes out of studying the most common classes of computation and optimizing for it. For example, the "summing a series" probably falls out of loop optimizations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

Presumably because Chromium and related technologies (e.g. V8) have far more investment by the community than Gecko and SpiderMonkey. MS already uses Chromium/v8 in some of their products like VS Code.

I feel they entered the business because they AWS showed the industry that it actually has pretty good margins. However, I think the sentiment is probably true that selling VPS is low-margin over the long-term, but i think the margins come

Only one team needs to sync with another in this scenario. It's also assuming that the Flutter team wouldn't consider do that considering they have that kind of information available to them -- it's in their best interest, af
