Thinking about submitting a talk or two to Fluttercon USA. Company would like me to talk about mobile observability, but I kinda also want to talk about Dart embedding. Curious if Fluttercon is a good fit for that....
I've been in a bit of a developer rut. It's not lack of projects I want to do and can work on. It's more like analysis paralysis on some, death by a thousand cuts aversion on others. So I piss away time on social media. I decided to try to get some dev momentum by picking up something I first tried back in 2020 the last time I got dev writers block: The Ray Tracing Challenge. Back then it was Kotlin and I only got as far as basic ray projection before wrestling with the Cucumber test system and "real work" derailed me. This time I'm going to be trying it in Dart and Flutter. My progress, or lack thereof, will be in this repository with a corresponding plain text developer log. #programming#DartLang#flutter
everyone’s talking about the python layoffs but the #flutter and #dart layoffs seem to have flown under the radar. from a mobile dev perspective they are more concerning regarding google’s commitment to its supposedly first class cross platform development ecosystem
Puh heute bischen am Caching der #kifferkarte gearbeitet. Wenn irgendjemand weiß wie das mit Drift im #web funktioniert bei #flutter wäre ich sehr dankbar für Hilfe. Aktuell hab ich das nur mit Memory Caching hinbekommen.

It occurred to my today that I have been coding for 40 years, starting with ZX Spectrum BASIC and currently enjoying #dart and #flutter. I still love #coding, it still excites me and I am always learning. I can't image a time when I don't code.
Turns out there's pkg:flutter_soloud, which already does most of the things we need. I spent the last few weeks helping Marco, the author of the package, to make the API more Dart-isan.
After sinking into the world of #flutter vs. #SwiftUI I must say I'm starting to enjoy flutter more than Apple's stuff. Pssst, they have documentation! And examples! and tons of code freely available without being deprecated or extinct, and no secret cabal.
I have a single-node #Proxmox setup with various services in containers and a #HomeAssistant VM. For example, https://blog.randomplace.online/ is hosted there. I needed a #Widnows build machine to build a work project, so I decided to spin up a new VM.
I got 10 minutes of build time and my server didn't die during the build. You can see the CPU load of two builds. There is plenty compute power left to serve my blog for that one visitor per month. Also, the Home Assistant VM was not affected.
Need to mention that the node is an #ASUS PN41 with 4-core Celeron N5100 and 16GB of RAM.
Hiya everyone! We're on the Fediverse! #introduction
Date Calculator is a Flutter app to calculate date related things, it is still in alpha/pre-alpha so it is not feature complete, but the bare minimum is already here.
It is developed by @winsdominoes at the request of @AmyIsCoolz :3
I had trouble getting a VerticalDivider to show up in a #flutter toolbar. It's because the Row didn't have any explicit height. There are two solutions: wrap it in a SizedBox, or wrap the row in an IntrinsicHeight. The latter can have performance penalties deep in the widget tree.
I recently posted a lot about using code generation with build_runner for productive #Dart and #Flutter development. Now that I am working on an in-depth article on this topic, I'd like to ask for your input. What questions do you have or what particular aspects do you struggle with? Let me know in the comments!
In the meantime, I thought I’d gather 5️⃣ useful resources I previously shared about code generation in a single thread below.
