Did you know you could submit your app's tests to the Flutter project, so that we would run them with every change to Flutter's APIs, and that we commit to not breaking you if you do this? .

every day i refresh hoping that there'll be some indication of when the 24h access days will be, and every day i am again disappointed.

I just spent multiple hours trying to debug a new certificate setup only to realise that I'd just used the wrong Common Name. Why do crypto systems have such terrible developer experiences? A simple "CN doesn't match" message would have saved me so much effort.

How to say "no": "I'd like to learn more, can you recommend some peer-reviewed meta studies I could read?".

my new mission in life is to replace "scientifically proven" with "scientifically demonstrated a 95% chance of being better than placebo in a double-blind controlled trial wait what no we didn't do that sorry".(this mission will be short-lived i expect).

I think it's a real lost opportunity that as an industry we haven't standardised on "bobbin" as the name for a group of strings, especially as in a localization file.

Windows is no better, q.v.:

The problem with cross-platform frameworks, I'm told, is that they can never perfectly match the system widgets.

One of the reasons I care so much about our API docs is that I use them literally ALL THE TIME.

At the end of a 45 minute phone call with @citi to fix a transaction that keeps getting incorrectly declined, they literally told me they don't know what's wrong and to try using another vendor's credit card instead. 😧.

has so much historical video of trains being great.

If I had a quarter for every good musical I'd seen from Google-affiliated folks I'd have ¢50 which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's not zero (the other one being .

Every few years I watch Primer (runtime 1h17m) and then spend 3 hours examining the various conflicting explanations people have written and diagrams people have drawn trying to understand it.

PSA: renaming issues on GitHub is buggy. Contrast and (we renamed "severe: new feature" to "new feature" years ago).

I'm doing some analysis of activity on Flutter's GitHub repo. Shout out to our most intense participant, who in 2021 added five emoji reactions in one second and never returned. 👍😕❤️🚀👀.

RT @chelscore: It's wild that several people have claimed to know which company/meeting/person this was, and none have been right: meaning….

There are two kinds of SDK developers: those who wish they could find a way to support shared-memory multithreading, and those who regret adding support for shared-memory multithreading.

The thing this proposal is missing, though, is a catchy name. "Wasm ABIs for WebGPU, WebHID, and ARIA" doesn't really roll off the tongue. Anyone got any suggestions for a name and fancy logo for people to rally around? :-).

It's been almost 20 years since we started HTML5, back in 2003. At the time there really was no standard cross-architecture cross-platform binary target like Wasm. Now that there is, it's time to rethink how we should extend the Web.

It's been almost ten years since the Extensible Web Manifesto was published, back in 2013, and we still can't actually explain Web APIs by referencing simpler primitives. (.
