Flutter does not use JavaScript, although it can compile to JavaScript. It also does not use chromium. I'm not sure why ente is 300MB but that is not standard for a Flutter app.

This doesn't make sense because Wikipedia is a collection of sources, most of which are on the internet. If would be surprising if Wikipedia was a good thing but the online sources it uses are bad.

I use en dash with two spaces and have done so before AI. But my comments here are from after GPT 4 released, so I guess I can't prove I didn't use AI to write them, although I don't think any AIs use that style. Here is one

It's not being dishonest. Software needs to be maintained. And google isn't the only web browser, nor should it be. It makes sense to re-evaluate which features make sense for the web. Flash and Java applets were both removed from

I kind of agree that little used,[0] non-web-like features is fair to be considered for removal. However I wish they didn't hide behind security vulnerabilities as the reason as that clearly wasn't it. The author didn't even

For non-browser runtimes, react native is actually working on an AOT TS/Flow engine. But they ship a bytecode binary rather than what I'm proposing, although what I'm proposing might also be infeasible.

Agreed, but I do think all major libraries would be rewritten in any soundly typed version of JS pretty quickly, especially if it was faster (assuming that is the case). >runtime-level APIs like the Document APIs?

I want JS with sound types. It's interesting how sound types can't be added to JS because runtime checks would be too expensive, but then so much of what makes JS slow is having to check types all the time anyway, and the only way

This was a big reason for dart canceling its previous macros attempt (as I understand it). Fast compilation is integral for Flutter development - which accounts for a late percentage of dart usage - so after IIRC more than two years of deve

It doesn't look bland to me at all. Most of the examples look like a failed Linux rice.

Agreed that technical specs cannot easily be crowdsourced. And even comprehensive reviews quickly get outdated when new products release. I remember there used to be a Google engineer who would review USB-C cables on Amazon for compliance.[

Loved the interactive part of this article. I agree that AI tagging could be a huge benefit if it is accurate enough. Not just for emails but for general text, images and videos. I believe social media sites are already doing this to great

It seems that the original spec had a more explicit intention: >The pretty value is intended for body text, where the last line is expected to be a bit shorter than the average line.[0] which seems to mainly be about avoiding short last

They dunk on it because the author didn't see the the benefit of the product over using FTP. And it's hard to say the usage of "quite trivially" isn't "belittling" in some form, although I don't think

I tired that originally and it did not work. The issue was that I pressed shift before clicking. After testing, MS paint and Photopea both support clicking shift before starting the selection to create a circle. Krita does nothing if you ho

You also need to check "Fixed aspect ratio" in the Ellipse select options, otherwise you will get an ellipse instead of a circle.

I made a similar mistake when upgrading my SSD. There was some token that was stored in there that I needed, and IIRC I had lost the password needed to generate a new token. I only realized that I was even missing it a few weeks later when
