Re:What's New in Flutter 3.47 on Thursday August 13, 2026 @09:39PM (#49293847)
I’m currently using it for small projects (under 100 users each), it’s definitely a niche choice, but it’s super easy to hand-roll from scratch. I’ve been running an app stack that’s pure dart, top to bottom, and it’s great being able to share code between my flutter app, web app, and backend.
Re:What's New in Flutter 3.47 on Thursday August 13, 2026 @09:22PM (#49293753)
I love this framework! It offers all the benefits of Dart and the Flutter widget paradigm on the web, while still providing access to the DOM. I'm using Jaspr for all of my marketing sites. It's beautiful, and I can ship in minutes.

Re:Ask HN: How To: Store and share passwords in a company? on Sunday September 01, 2024 @10:54PM (#41422243)
It's Okta's key feature... Once a user logs in and reaches their 'Apps Dashboard,' they can click on any SaaS app to open it in an already authenticated session without needing to know the passwords. This makes it possible for multiple users to access a single license.
Re:How Meta trains large language models at scale on Wednesday June 12, 2024 @10:29PM (#40665353)
How will Meta leverage LLMs at scale to drive revenue? It's not clear.
Re:Apple Intelligence for iPhone, iPad, and Mac on Monday June 10, 2024 @06:00PM (#40639683)
I see the goal as a setup to pit LLM providers against each other to pay 10B a year to be the 2nd tap default.
Re:Time for TikTok to cut its ties to China on Wednesday March 13, 2024 @02:04PM (#39695059)
How long until.......

"TikTok in talks to acquire steak in TruthSocial."

It's somewhat understandable considering the rising minimum wages for restaurant staff and the additional fees restaurants impose for employee benefits, which have been implemented in several major cities.
Interesting when you consider that <search term> reddit is the a top 5 autocomplete on google search.
Re:Tucker Carlson bringing show to Twitter on Tuesday May 09, 2023 @07:41PM (#35881785)
Twitter seems ill-suited for long-form video content. It's optimized more for bite-sized interactions, not prolonged viewing.

The lagging, buffering, and poor video resolution reflect this. Platforms like YouTube or Vimeo have honed their infrastructure for stable, high-quality video streaming and created an interface that promotes sustained engagement.

For Twitter to compete in this space, it needs to fundamentally rethink its approach to video content, from infrastructure and compression algorithms to user interface design and balancing social interaction with content consumption.

The one safeguard I've yet to get around is the required phone number to try this thing.
Re:Google, please do something with your ads and SEO-spam on Friday November 25, 2022 @07:41PM (#33748628)
They had a personal block list at one point... but removed it.
Does geolocation need to be spoofed if I'm on a VPN? Is't geolocation detected using IP address?

You still have to "sign up" for Apple Cash though, which is a process that involves uploading your government identification.

Re:If Google sucks then why is everyone still using it? on Sunday March 20, 2022 @09:05PM (#30748813)
A domain block list would solve most of the search quality and spam problems, I don't understand why Google removed it.
Re:Why trucking can’t deliver the goods on Saturday March 05, 2022 @06:27PM (#30573062)
I'm not sure I believe this article, if you are a truck driver an aren't making $2,500 per week in todays market you are not paying attention. Truck drivers with 2 years of experience are getting 10k+ sign on bonuses now. And if you own your own truck your walking away with 7k - 10k+ per week, per mile rates are the highest they've been in years.
This definitely gives off iGoggle vibes, would love to experience this with an A/R headset.

When they removed the domain blacklist feature search went down hill fast.

Dart, and Flutter plugin aren't supported.
Flutter for desktop solves this.
Re:SwiftUI Defaults Considered Harmful on Wednesday February 26, 2020 @10:39AM (#22423910)
Interesting how most of his points are exactly how Flutter is implemented. For example the trailing commas, and no assumed defaults.
Re:What Exactly is Docker? on Saturday February 01, 2020 @05:01PM (#22213550)
Can anyone speak to why deploying your application as a container is more expensive than deploying on an VM instance?
