It seems like the overwhelming majority of people here are positive to WFH. I can't stand it. To me, a "remote first" workplace sounds abysmal. I like to have a physical workplace where our company can gather and focus on our

Flutter is used in an increasing number of production apps. I'm getting frequent recruitment offers for Flutter roles. So regardless of any skepticism you might have for the longevity of the project, saying that it's only relevant

What? Ubuntu Touch is an OS. Flutter is just a GUI framework, like Qt. Not sure what you're trying to say.

I mean, yeah. But rolling it out to millions of users wouldn't really pass as dogfooding, though?

I'm glad it worked out! It's a nice framework to work with, and Dart is a pleasant language. How big is your bundle size atm, if I might ask?

Desktop. Don't know about Touch, but one would assume it carries over at some point.

I don't think that's true. Flutter is having a shitload of momentum right now. Just recently Canonical embraced Flutter as a first class option for building Wayland apps. Flutter is running on Google hardware such as smart speaker

I've been coding Flutter mobile apps for a couple of years, but have only toyed around with the web target. In my experience it seemed kinda off . Scrolling lists ignored my native scroll speed and janked, text manipulation felt laggy

I'm a Flutter dev and last time I checked out the web target it resulted in massive bundle sizes and bad performance. This was a couple of months or so ago, but still after their "official" 2.0 release which took web from bet

I want to say that Flutter would be a good candidate, but I don't think it's ready for this. Or is it?

Most of the upfront cost for hardware is usually setting up tooling and assembly lines for manufacture. In this case, I'd assume most if not all parts already exists and can be sourced. That negates a lot of it.

Agreed! Once in a century is disturbingly frequent when it comes to disasters like this. If it's even higher than that, then you start approaching a point where it's almost certain to be experienced during any given lifetime.

Aren't those cases mitigated by receiving support/supplies from elsewhere though? The thing about a massive solar flare is that this "elsewhere" would be facing the same issues.

In OSS you offer something for free with no guarantees and few strings attached and in return hopefully get public contributions. You might get something on top of that in the form of donations, but trying to project growth, incomes and hir

$2k is a part time salary, for an unknown amount of hours. The full time salary that they are going to get going forward is $6k. Still not close to competitive, but enough to make a decent living.

Yeah, this sort of behavior should make anyone cringe. I understand that you want to encourage team spirit and build cohesion, but jfc pump the brakes. Reminds of the Noogler hats[0] that screams "I'm New Resource no. 348, bear wi

You could reverse the statement and say that someone with overly high confidence, an inflated ego and an affinity for preaching is more likely to climb the ladder to C-level. That tracks.

"Giving up" seems to imply unfulfilled ambition, though. It only feels like giving up because we project our own ambitions onto him. If his ambition always was to lead a simple, predictable life close to nature, he's achieved

If I were the PR guy for China and I could choose what the origin was, I'd go for wet market without a doubt. The "ancient food culture" argument is much more complex, easier to defend and easier to empathize with. Lab neglig

You could use the same defense for drug dealers. "Why don't you just read a book instead of smoking crack?"

That measurement came from a radar cluster for which an update was being tested the same day. The radar data that was quickly grabbed from the strike group (tinfoil explanation: coverup), was actually retrieved for diagnostics and post-mort

Oh! Good find. Wasn't quite as graphic as I recall, but I remember that photo of the dying, seemingly terrified child on the sidewalk very well. Glancing through it now I gotta say I'm quite impressed by it. Interesting that they

The problem is that these clips of condensed malevolence has such a disproportionate effect on your outlook on life. I'm almost certain it has made me much more cynical and less trusting in general. In my day to day life in a safe west

Thinking about it, v4 addresses and oil have a lot in common. The exhaustion/depletion is coming, but we keep finding ways to circumvent it. For oil you got fracking and sand. For v4 you see wider adoption of wide/carrier-grade NA

If that's true that is real scummy. Someone should investigate with a VPN.

Very off topic, but does this mean that wrecks from warships lost during, say, WWII are still owned by their respective navies?
