What's the battery life like on the stealth?

Thanks for conducting the survey, interested to see the results.

I find it strange (and possibly not very pragmatic) that not long ago at all, rails was almost a no brainer, and now it's the opposite, even though there must be many thousands of live applications.

In Australia, Squarespace is running ads maybe 5 times a night with Keanu Reeves. And that's on one channel I've noticed. Must be a huge budget.

> I am talking about full-scale replacements for Google’s entire Android development stack. Microsoft has Xamarin, Adobe has Cordova, Facebook has React Native, I mean it’s crazy town. [...]

> It’s like everyone who’s ever tried to do Android programming gave up and declared: “This is so bad that I will do my own startup to make it better.”

> And Google, not to be outdone by their competitors, responded by saying, “Oh yeah? Well you can’t compete with us, because we’re going to compete with us!” and they launched Flutter, which is — I am not making this up — a 100% serious Android development stack that competes with native Android, and whose existence the actual Android team simply refuses to acknowledge.

This is incorrect. Every one of these I've heard of (all the big ones) and probably the rest don't exist because Android development is so terrible, they exist mostly to facilitate one codebase for both iOS and Android, or to allow the use of a different language.

I mean, that's incredibly obvious, so I don't know why he's got this here.

I'm currently using a home-baked graph database built on top of PostgreSQL for https://unlikekinds.com

It stores information as triples (Bob -> Married to -> Gary) and with properties (Bob.last_name = Stamper)

I've been finding that the benefits keep on paying off. I can arbitrary relate any thing to any other thing (and query those relationships) without changing code or database schema at all.

And the fact that it's a literal, intuitive, representation of reality makes things much easier to reason about.

When viewing something and seeing all the related info, the data nerd in me loves it: https://unlikekinds.com/t/unlike-kinds (meta)

Why the slashes? It's throwing it the mobile layout in HN :)

Does Google realise that the core of the resistance from the so-called vocal minority isn't about the language itself, but the (perception, at least) that Google was being too self-serving in its promotion and use?

Obviously every company will be self-serving in its technology choices. But it seems to me that people got the feeling that Google was doing themselves a favour, more than doing everyone a favour.

It looks like there's custom UI going on there, how did you all find that on Flutter?

I do wonder why Google doesn't take a more open, community approach to Dart. I mean, what do they have to lose?

As a Googler said earlier, they've built the fundamentals quasi-privately already, do it seems they can only win by making it a community project.

Is it any less community driven than Swift though?
