We are so lucky that state of the art programming languages and frameworks were invented before AI took the thinking over.

If you are a curious being, interested in science and technology, I recommend this channel. Awesome content. It gives me the vibes of the early discovery channel (not that real life soap it has turned into). www.youtube.com/@veritasium

@rydmike.com, this one is for you: Apple also says Macs will do a better job of remembering how windows were positioned on multi-monitor displays, useful for laptop owners who regularly dock and undock their systems to one or more external displays. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026...

Several things I like about macOS 27 Golden Gate that have nothing to do with AI

AI aside, Golden Gate includes a bunch of subtle-but-helpful improvements.

I really appreciated the last few weeks without much disturbing news. Lesson learned, when it's quiet they are up to something. How is it going with Greenland?

I have this weird case with my Mac where #chrome displays a box or band in a slightly different shade, on an homogeneous coloured page, but only when hardware acceleration is enabled and only on external screens. Taking a screenshot does not show the box or band. Taking a picture with a phone does.

I still stand by my decision to leave X, because of the political tool it became by it’s owner. But it’s soooo quiet here on Bluesky. Are there any other social platforms where #Flutter is a thing? LinkedIn maybe?

I'm running in circles for a second day 😫. I need some android permissions granted before the integration_tests start. This does not seem to be supported. I've found some flaky workarounds with "flutter drive" (deprecated) and adb, or using a completely separate test package 'patrol'.

@flutter.dev, is it possible to use AdoptOpenJDK for building apps with Flutter and to ditch Java 8 and Java 11 entirely on the dev machines? A corporate policy might inhibit the use of Java 8/11 due to licensing concerns and I’m not sure about the implications. I’m using Android Studio.

I saw some serious font kerning problems running on Android 13 and impeller. The issues weren’t there when using Skia. I know that rendering fonts is seriously complicated, but it is a foundational part of a framework and should work reliably. 😢 I will report an issue next week. #Flutterdev

We're thinking of adding a new lint to package:lints - dart.dev/tools/linter.... The lint warns about omitted types that can't be inferred and default to dynamic. Try it out and provide feedback to github.com/dart-lang/sd.... Thanks! #dartlang #flutterdev
