We can start with social networks and then move on to search engines. Interoperability for social networks is already solved so it's a matter of getting the politicians on the same page to force Facebook/Meta and Twitter to suppor

Great, then we're all in agreement but it might be worthwhile for the rest of the folks in this thread to read a few wiki pages about the immune system and how vaccines work. It would reduce a lot of confusion for them.

I guess it doesn't hurt. I personally don't follow gossip about billionaires so seems like a waste of money if that's why they do it.

They must not have heard about Composer. I'm currently migrating from Playwright to Composer. Will write a blog post about it soon but I can say that Composer is much nicer than either Puppeteer or Playwright.

I've tried js, ts, and dart and dart is a much more pleasant language with simpler tooling than the current js/ts web stack. We can continue going back and forth on this but I don't think we're getting anywhere. My sugge

My point is the frontend web stack is already very complicated for no good reason so using Flutter/Dart instead of dealing with webpack or whatever the latest build tool is for frontend web projects isn't that big of a difference.

The point is no one uses plain javascript anymore so if you're going to use some domain specific language with its own build pipeline to generate compiled assets for the browser then Dart/Flutter is no worse than any other javascr

It reduces the effort of learning different frameworks for the frontend and the backend. You use one language that includes simple interoperatbility between the frontend and the backend. It will still obviously need to be compiled into a fo

Not sure. Last time I was close to any HR software it seemed like all you needed to do was make sure to capture some identifiers like location and IP address before storing the signature. So presumably the regulatory barrier is very low, yo

I looked at the flutter gallery and it looks like they just compile everything to js files and paint the widgets on a canvas element. Would be interesting to know if they're investing any effort in different backends like WASM. Would p

I personally prefer keybase but to each their own. UX matters to most people and there is no obvious solution here that I could recommend to people that are less technically savvy than the typical HN commenter.

What's missing?

Because the internet has no real infrastructure for identity. If everyone could create a public/private key pair then signatures on the internet would be a non-issue. So these companies are filling a gap in the web stack. Do we need so

The framing here is off. This has nothing to do with racism and all to do with profits. Political pundits don't understand that class and material conditions are primary and the rest is just window dressing to cover up the widening gap

Frontend is what will get you. The kids have decided everything now needs to be compiled and transpiled so you won't be able to avoid the hassle of frontend development. If you want to avoid all of that then Flutter/Dart might be

The difference is now there are more grifters on social media profiting from fear and paranoia.

That's very ambitious. Hopefully they make real progress towards that goal but there is no way they're gonna put a nuclear power plant on the moon within a decade.

That's news to me. I didn't know D had actors but I like it's meta-programming features because it cuts down on all sorts of boilerplate. I haven't used it that much, I just looked into it briefly for some low-level prog
