Subscripts are pretty common. This article is basically a Swift tutorial, I'm not sure what was the point of submitting it to HN.

Current state of sharing code between platforms is quite terrible. Most languages support only C FFI, so if you write shared code in C++, will require bridge from C++ to C and then bridges from C to native platforms. For CRUD core, this kin

It depends. If you want to write nice looking material design app, then yes, it works really well. As iOS developer I can say that flutter is much more pleasant than storyboards & UIKit (which is probably why Apple is working on SwiftUI

I worked on Xamarin app and saw how things worked there. I also think that it's a logical conclusion from these conditions: 1. You want to support N native platforms. 2. Each of these platforms has it's own way of doing this, bugs

How can you be interested in RN if Flutter is too abstract?

The strength of Flutter is it's architecture. Nothing comes close. Web is too slow. Xamarin/React Native is too restricted by native layer. Qt is C++. Popularity of Flutter increases steadily: https://trends.google.pl

> underlying framework/runtime can generate the appropriate UI for the exact target platform This may seem like a good idea, but it's not. What you will get is a leaky, lowest common denominator API that will break on each new

I like Flutter very much. In some aspects it is much better than native iOS development. But it's far from perfect, so perhaps this post will prompt Google to hire more people to handle issues. But, it's not like other companies a

I'm not an expert, but I imagine that astronomers are pretty good at determining brightness of objects. And space stuff moves in orbits anyway.

I wonder if we could genetically modify the trees to be more construction friendly. It would be neat if you could plant a seed and it would automatically grow into a house.

Same here. I don't see how adding some kind of XML layer on top of Dart would help with anything.

Probably the most important usage of C are shared libraries. How well it will work if I have D library with it's own GC, another Go library with second GC and app written in C# with yet another GC?

This will probably happen in Africa.

Something seems off here, the google AI was probably trained on these designed forms, to be able to fill them. If designers then stop creating these forms, then what will the AI use? Seems like some kind of API would be needed, but typical

It takes a lot of energy to heat/cool stuff. How much cooling could such battery powered device provide? Is it even better than a cheap usb fan?

Google seems to be commited to Dart, since they already developed linting, formatting, package manager, support for multiple IDEs... As a native iOS developer, I can say that I'm very impressed because Apple did none of that for iOS. D

They may create dedicated shell in future. Proper desktop support in flutter is in very early stages currently.

Flutter for desktop is in early stages currently, but in theory it could deliver apps that look & feel like Electron apps but with much better performance.

It's interesting that such company culture can achieve pretty amazing things, yet fail at very simple and obvious stuff. This reminds me of a cool analogy: big companies behave like artifical general intelligence, very smart, but very

I'm sure for many people this cost is reversed and they are wasting time in dynamic language for looking up methods or fixing bugs that would not exist in typed code.

No, because you can write async functions without using async/await. Using callback for example: Future<int> foo() { return Future.delayed(Duration(seconds: 1)).then((x) => 1); } In this case there is no compile

Exercise is good, but you need to have your diet it check first. Otherwise you will explode as soon as something prevents you from training. It's also easier to not eat 1000 kcal that to burn 1000 kcal.

It works like in every other language that supports async/await. Compiler will convert code inside async method into a state machine to prevent it from locking thread during await calls. If you don't uses async you have to do comp

Bad advice. You want big heavy chunk of metal to retain temperature while pizza is cooking.
