This is actually mentioned very deep into the thread: https://twitter.com/Foone/status/1058928459462787072?s=20

I use Dart/Flutter LSP (lsp-dart) in Emacs all the time very successfully. “All hell breaks loose” sounds like maybe you have a project cloned or created but not yet `flutter pub get`’d, in which case I have seen it act like practically every token is an error.

UTF-8 can represent any Unicode code point. If there is a character that it can’t represent, then that’s because that character is not encoded in Unicode; it has nothing to do with UTF-8 itself.

It seems a lot of people have the same idea of implementing Snake where it has no business being

Kana are not alphabets; they are syllabaries.

I use Emacs professionally for Ruby development and LSP (Solargraph) is a huge part of what makes it work smoothly.

I also do a lot of hobby Flutter/Dart development and the same is true there.

Languages that I’ve tried to work with this way but failed include Java, Kotlin, Swift, and C#. But I could see any of them working great if the LSP implementation was robust enough.

The currently linked SVG view is not plausibly readable, in my opinion.

Would this not be a better link?

The upper left of the SVG is empty (blank or white) so if your viewport is relatively small then you will be looking at a white page.

Did you try scrolling? It's a comment thread rendered as a graph; the root comment is in the top center.

When is this from? I just tried the supplied "Original" image in Tesseract 4.1.1 (installed from MacPorts) and it worked flawlessly:

I can’t find a publishing date on TFA but

Launch4j had a release just the other day.

Residential neighborhoods in the Tokyo metro area are generally walkable but have very few sidewalks.

Yes, my point was that that is a very narrow view of “normal”.

They’re clearly not “normal” if most fonts don’t have them (as default glyphs; many fonts have them as alternates).

More than one: 𓂸 𓂹 𓂺

Here's a modern font that really stretches the limits of packing hanzi into a tiny number of pixels: https://3type.cn/fonts/dinkie_bitmap/index.html

There are plenty of reasonable commutes to be had well outside the Yamanote loop.

“Can” cost being the operative word.

There is plenty of housing much more reasonably priced than that. Just don’t live in central Minato-ku.

I’ve written about it here: https://twitter.com/amadlonkay/status/1260924102161821698?s=...

The choice of `ch` is clearly inspired by English, but the other common alternatives (Nihonshiki, Kunreishiki) are not self-consistent in that they paper over differences in pronunciation. To be consistent you need to represent ち as something other than `ti`, so then why not `chi`?

At this point anything other than Hepburn and Nihonshiki/Kunreishiki is a non-starter due to lack of familiarity, so I would be happy if everyone would just get on board with Hepburn.

As has been pointed out, Kotlin is not really controlled by Google the way that Flutter is.

Also Kotlin Multiplatform and Flutter are very, very different use cases.

For anyone who isn't aware:

Kotlin Multiplatform lets you share business logic. Think "make a library that can be used on iOS and Android". You still need to write the UI and platform-specific plumbing separately for each.

Flutter includes the UI and can give you apps running on both platforms (and web and desktop, too!) with 100% shared code†.

†In practice, though, you may need to get your hands dirty with platform-native code for functionality not already covered by the plugin ecosystem, though that need diminishes over time.

That package is incredibly immature. It couldn’t actually render almost anything the last time I tried it.

I was looking for a LaTeX rendering solution for a Flutter and ended up wrapping KaTeX: I use a platform-side web view to render with KaTeX and then send the rendered PNG bytes back to the Dart world.

It’s hacky but it’s been working incredibly well.

I've had a merge request open to add an app to F-Droid for 4 months now.

It's gotten some attention, and I've addressed all the requests for changes I've gotten. But still, no resolution after 4 months.

In contrast it took me a few days at most to publish to Google Play and the App Store, which I did at the same time as I submitted to F-Droid. And I've shipped numerous updates to both since then.

So "Switch to F-Droid!" rings a little hollow for me.

Wow I had no idea. I assumed it was Japanese: 書こうね ("let's write")

Unlike the Boomers, who most definitely haven't been brainwashed by right-wing propaganda on Facebook and Fox News?

I had to re-bytecode-compile lsp-mode to get it to pick up the faster JSON support (`M-x package-reinstall lsp-mode`). See `lsp-diagnose` for a quick way to check if you're good to go.
