Sounds like #DART is having #GoPass problems. Which is great since #DART provides fare collection and bus tracking (via their homegrown GoPass infrastructure) to other systems, like #TulsaTransit.

This feels like a long way around just using GTFS and not charging a fare like we live in a society.

(The other day I took a nose-dive into #Flutter and #Dart for writing code. Not fully convinced as far as the language itself is concerned, but the tooling isn't that bad at first sight and cross-platform support also is a sweet spot. Not sure whether this is worth being explored further.
And all along the way I learnt to probably give up on posting anything but public content to social networks, including the Fediverse. Maybe this really isn't the right place for this anymore and maybe it's all "public" over here anyway.)

OpenStreetMap в Flutter-проекте: что такое flutter_map, как его внедрить и чем дополнить

Всем привет! Меня зовут Анна Ахлёстова, я Flutter-разработчик в Friflex . Ранее мы обсудили, как использовать инструменты yandex_mapkit в Flutter-проекте. В этой статье рассмотрим еще один плагин для работы с картографическими сервисами – flutter_map, изучим его возможности, преимущества перед аналогами и реализуем простой проект в качестве примера. Если вы начнете искать удобный, адаптированный под Flutter картографический сервис, основными результатами поиска будут GoogleMaps API и Yandex Mapkit SDK. Их популярность в целом оправдана – они предоставляют обширный список функций: начиная от простого отображения самой карты и объектов на ней и заканчивая функциями геокодирования и навигации. Помимо этого сами карты достаточно точны и детализированы, что немаловажно для конечного пользователя. Их главный недостаток – стоимость коммерческих тарифов. Если заказчики обладают достаточным бюджетом для систематической оплаты сервиса карт, проблема автоматически решается. Однако когда разработка ПО осуществляется для небольших организаций или даже стартапов, заказчик может не иметь возможности тратить на это деньги. В этом случае возможное решение проблемы – использовать бесплатные функции у вышеперечисленных сервисов. При этом придется постоянно следить за соблюдением всех условий бесплатного тарифа, а также не допускать превышения максимального лимита запросов/пользователей. Для Flutter-проектов есть еще одно решение – применять OpenStreetMap. Этот картографический сервис является абсолютно бесплатным для всех пользователей. Создатели заявляют, что все загруженные в него данные доступны каждому пользователю. Подробнее о политике и самом сервисе вы можете почитать здесь .

Great article introducing #WasmGC, shipping in #Chrome 119 and #Firefox 120.

It explains the performance and interop benefits. And how targetting WasmGC is like targetting a new VM, with existing LLVM-based implementations not currently compatible.

https://v8.dev/blog/wasm-gc-porting

I thought doing full-stack development was probably the worst it could get in terms of initial setup and on-boarding, getting all your tooling going, IDE configuration, etc.

But then at work I needed to set up #Dart :dartlang: and #Flutter SDKs, #Android Studio + emulators, and tie it all into Visual Studio Code. It was truly like going through all nine circles of Hell to get working.

✅ Wasted time with Android Studio flatpak and the apparently lack of a Flutter SDK flatpak runtime. Eventually just grabbed the Android Studio tarball, but ya know be sure to read the Install txt file in the tarball before doing anything else with it.
✅ Butchering my PATH with several different directories for various SDKs and tools, as well as having to add a different JAVA_HOME to point to the Android Studio / JetBrains-specific Java otherwise sdkmanager wouldn't work.
✅ Installing several extensions in Visual Studio Code for Dart, Flutter, bloc, etc.
✅ At that point, finally being able to launch the emulators, assuming you have already written a custom launch.json

And I gotta do it all over again on my work laptop 💀

A new ESA mission is heading back to the asteroid NASA’s DART spacecraft nudged off course when it crashed onto its surface last year.

Now, the European Space Agency (ESA) is undergoing preparations for a follow-up mission that will return to the asteroid to conduct surveys of the impact.

The HERA mission, named for the Greek goddess of marriage is slated for an October 2024 launch.

Something missing from #Dart's recent pattern matching feature is the ability to match whether a list contains an item. It's very strict. (Also, being able to match strings against regular expressions or substrings would be nice too.) I lose out on the value extraction and the easy reading of patterns if I do it any other way.

It would also be nice to have "if-case" style statements available for assignments, so I can use it in asserts, for example. Basically shorthand for the pattern I use now for that:

assert(switch (value) {
  "isThisThing" => true;
  _ => false
}, "Assertion failed");
// ... should become... //
assert(value case "isThisThing", "Assertion failed");

I was gearing up to write a #Lisp engine in #Dart but then I realized that the sample implementation in petitparser is already better than what I would have come up with 😅

(And it’s MIT licensed!)

The world if #flutter used #go instead of #dart

Futuristic planet, red sky; its futuristic but still kind of eshittified, smoggy, and wracked by climate change. But still somehow better than what we got...

@vruz @zardoz03

totally, minimalism at the language level enables innovation at the compiler level, and thus a rock solid infrastructure that does "one thing and does it well" ((cross)compiles a sufficiently expressive imperative language to lean fast static binaries). but if thats the reason to its success, then why isn't #chez just as successful? the obvious answer is that #go is backed by google, but so is #dart, which is successful soley due to flutter, and doesn't seem to really be adored anywhere, so it seems unsuccessful at the fandom level.

because like, what the hell is even going on there. it's a feature pile that most of its users seem to find annoying (including me, as I'm currently using it at work), but it has a powerful compiler infrastructure with native rendering capabilities that you can't find anywhere else. for this reason, I imagine projects targetting dart like #ClojureDart will start to take off, and dart will increasingly be a platform to target, similar to other successful JVM languages like clj & #kotlin (which is Google's official "first order" recommendation for Android dev today).

so I do think that go's success, as a language that its community really loves using, isnt just the solid infrastucture. I think its that it holistically captures a refined vision of the #unix philosophy that has includes insight from the longue duree of the innovations of plan9

@isaaclyman as someone who's published a number of #Dart packages, I can say I have no interest in working on code that runs in Dart but not in #Flutter.

As much as I like reflection (and I used it a lot in my Java days) I'm not ready to pay the price Dart is asking for it.

They say metaprogramming will solve these issues and then some. I'll wait and see.

I understand the value of tree-shaking, fwiw. The compiled size of Flutter apps is pretty awesome. What I dislike here is the implication that Dart is only supported insofar as it serves Flutter. It’s a great language on its own! It’s the first thing I turn to for a small console app or toy project.

Even if reflection is never supported in Flutter or web, it should be table stakes for #Dart. Reflection is an important way to let your API drive your code, rather than the opposite.

Isaac Lyman
2 months ago

The way the #Dart compiler is designed, runtime reflection in, say, a Flutter app has never been supported. It’s not that it’s impossible on any given platform, it’s that it makes tree-shaking impossible and thus increases the size of the compiler binary. It’s a performance issue.

What’s a little unhinged is that the Dart’s team response to “I need reflection” is “we can’t think of anything you can do with reflection that you couldn’t do without it.”

Isaac Lyman

I’ve encountered my first *major* shortcoming in #Dart—not a tradeoff or a design decision, an actual “this is 100% bad” caveat—and that is reflection.

Yes, the SDK has a reflection library. Yes, it’s ergonomic and well-designed, like most of Dart’s first-party tools.

BUT it hasn’t been updated for years (it has no understanding of nullability, for example), and the Dart team has decided to leave it in hiatus indefinitely until they come up with something better. https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/44489

'Swarm of boulders' in space shows the gory aftermath of #NASA's #asteroid-smashing #DART mission

The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) has left a vast field of rubble strewn around asteroid Dimorphos, Hubble images show.

By Ben Turner, July 22, 2023

"The Hubble Space Telescope has spotted the gory aftermath of the first-ever intentional collision between a spacecraft and an asteroid, revealing a debris field of at least 37 'boulders"' flung thousands of miles into space.

"On Sept. 26, NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft disintegrated as it smashed into the asteroid #Dimorphos, which is 7 million miles (11 million kilometers) from Earth, successfully changing the asteroid's trajectory.

"Now, by using Hubble to study the impact, astronomers have found that DART's roughly 14,540 mph (23,400 km/h) impact on the asteroid produced a 'swarm of boulders.' The rocks, which range from 3 to 22 feet (0.9 to 6.7 meters) in diameter, were most likely shaken loose from the asteroid's surface during the impact. The researchers published their findings July 20 in The Astrophysical Journal Letters."

I have quite a lot more followers than I did when I first wrote my introduction, so it’s only fair that I’m writing a new one, bump up the major version.

#introduction #intro #introductions

Hi! o/

I am Ștefan (ș as sh, I also accept Stephan or the equivalent in your language). I’m 21 years old, ♑, he/him, proud #leftist and soon to graduate CS @ UVABc. Sort of proudly living in #romania. My native language is Romanian, fairly proficient at English, slowly learning #finnish (and #italian).

Tried a lot of programming languages in my childhood up until now, a non-chronological list of ones that stuck with me for one reason or another being: VB6 (that’s what I started on at 8 years old), #pascal (+ #freepascal and #delphi), #perl (+ #raku), #tcl #tcltk, #lisp (usually #scheme, on a good day #elisp #emacslisp and #commonlisp), #elixir, #php, #forth, #lua, #oberon, #modula-2, #cpp #c++, #ocaml, #fsharp, #smalltalk (+ #squeak #pharo #self), #ada, #powershell, #dart, #matlab, #rlang, #zig, #nim, #cobol and #julia. I don’t claim full proficiency in all of these, but I’m familiar enough with these (+ some others not mentioned here) that I could get along just fine with 2 weeks at most of studying and looking through cookbooks and examples). I’m flexible in learning new languages and technologies if needed.

I also do #sudoku and #math for fun (especially functional equations and number theory problems, sometimes calculus and geometric algebra). I am interested in #linguists, #conlangs (#lojban and #esperanto) and #nlp, contemporary (post-‘45, usually post-‘89 for me) history, #balkan history, lower-level stuff (I like to learn about how tools around me work, I’m most interested in #compilers, #emulators and #microcontrollers), #typography and #latex, #linux + #bsd, #msdos, #amiga, #oberon, #plan9, #philosophy, #astronomy (especially in a worldbuilding context) and #philosophy, along with other less notable interests.

I engage in #politics relatively often irl, although I’m not inserting it in absolutely every scenario in my life. As I mentioned, I’m a #leftist and #progressive (or… um… #woke) (Nazis and fascists can have a merry fuck off, DNI with me). I am also a spiritual person, a #deist (if you really want to put it that way, an agnostic, although it’s not quite true) and I find #astrology and #tarot interesting (I’ll let you guess my moon and ascendant, let’s see how close you are).

With that being said, I hope I’m welcome here, you can pick your subset of things that interest you from this list, you have plenty of options. :P Quite a bit longer than last time, but oh well…

Who can forget the NASA DART mission, where the spacecraft rammed into asteroid Didymos's moonlet Dimorphos on Sep 26, 2022, to demonstrate the kinetic impactor technique for changing the trajectory of an asteroid.

You might look into #Flutter next time: https://flutter.dev/multi-platform/desktop

That framework is certainly getting a lot of traction in the industry. Also, it uses the #Dart programming language, which IMHO is vastly superior to JavaScript for application development.

This is really very cool!

The DART mission was wildly successful at changing the trajectory of an asteroid.

It didn't split the asteroid. It didn't produce an ineffectual "puff" of light debris.

It blew away a nice ejecta stream of small particles that acted as reaction mass, converting impact energy to additional momentum. Just about optimal.

This is a big deal: it could be used to save civilization on Earth, someday.

Is there a language that handles dependencies well?

Python's virtual environments are a bit awkward but everything mostly works, I haven't played with Java build tools much, Javascript is a trainwreck. I've been happy with Dart, but haven't gotten into the weeds much. Same with rust, cargo seems nice, but I haven't played with it enough to know the pitfalls yet.
