Why not let consumers decide if Apple's 30% uplift is worth it? Clearly for yourself that is the case, but others may come to a different conclusion. Most markets offer a variety of tradeoffs in price vs. quality. Consumers rarely pic

Dart produces surprisingly small docker images for server code. I recently created small Cloud Run web service with Dart - the docker image is 5.2MB compressed, 12.9 MB as reported by docker. I'm not even sure Go would do better on ima

I didn't like the underscores for private variables at first, but it kinda grows on you. Visually they really stand out when reading code, which is a good thing.

Kudos to the Dart team. I'm sure this feature was a super heavy lift. "The soundness of Dart’s null safety has another welcome implication: it means your programs can be smaller and faster. "

> I'm also paying Apple to curate my experience. Which is totally fine. But why not allow customers to make that decision? If the Apple App store truly delivers an experience that warrants a 30% uplift, consumers will pay for it.

The dart formatter is awesome - kudos to Bob. All languages should come with a highly opinionated formatter. It puts an end to useless style arguments.

I think the risk of Flutter getting cancelled is very remote. Google knows they have a winner on their hands. Flutter is the UI framework for Fuschia. It is picking up huge momentum [1]. The support for native apps and web[2] is still immat

We have $300 cell phones that can work with offline maps and run basic ML code. Betting against autonomous drones seems short sighted. It's almost certain to happen in the near future.

So better to use ext4 and let it silently corrupt your data? ZFS does indeed catch memory errors. If you are running without ECC, most filesystems will happily write that corrupt data to disk. Unless the corruption is in the metadata, you w

I agree with most of what you have written, but this: > doesn't mean I want Google getting a free pass to mine and sell my data. AFAIK, they don't do that with gmail. Do you have any evidence to the contrary? We need to hold G

If it was easy, advertisers would be doing it already. Google is highly motivated to keep your data fire-walled from advertisers.

That seem premature and unfair. KNative has representation from Google, IBM and Redhat, and the steering committee is working on a more inclusive governance structure. (I have no inside knowledge of this - just what I have gleaned from sla

AFAIK, Knative is aimed at stateless applications. Think of it as an open source lambda that runs on top of Kubernetes. I like Google's strategy here: Cloud run is (essentially) hosted Knative for those that want to pay someone else to
