Skylled

For what little it's worth, Stadia is opening to play through Safari (on iOS) soon.

Until just this week, Chrome OS's Instant Tethering was exclusive to Google's Pixel and Nexus phones, and was clearly advertised as such. Even now, the feature is only available for a small selection of phones (relative to the vast number of Androids in the wild).

Just use your phone's hotspot feature. The amount of time saving between using your native tethering vs Instant Tethering is negligible.

Can't say as I have. My expertise centers around Flutter and Fuchsia, for now.

You can write software for Fuchsia without using Flutter, but Flutter is the most friendly way at present.

In a basic sense, Flutter is based in Dart, but if you want to call into another language like Swift, there is a way to do so, called FIDL. I'm not sure if Swift has FIDL bindings yet, but I'm sure that it and many other languages will, in time.

Even today Flutter has support for Swift code on iOS the same way it supports ObjC, via MethodChannels. (This is also true for Java and Kotlin code on Android.)

Thanks for your support.

I'll trust code over an anonymous comment any day. But maybe I'm biased. If you see speculation in a Fuchsia Friday article that you disagree with, I'm always open to intelligent discussion.

I started on this path recently with email by using the Astro app, and only getting notifications for "Priority Emails" which are intelligently chosen.

My understanding is that Fuchsia will have a stable ABI to avoid the driver issues of Android/Linux. That's not an answer to open source drivers of course. That falls on the OEMs.

I'm not sure why Escher started in a separate repo (possibly to make testing on Linux easier), but it's been moved to its rightful place inside of the Garnet repo.

Great questions. Specifically for #2 it's hard to say at this point. At present (in it's very early state), I believe they just pick the first result. But the resolution process returns a "confidence" value. This is purely my speculation and I need evidence before I publish it in an article, but I believe that confidence here indicates the intent to use ML.

It can probably be assumed that you would be able to set a preference for one module over another, but I haven't found any proof of that yet.

Author here. Manual installation will certainly always be possible. The instant/cloud parts of this feature are designed so that things can "just work" under optimal network conditions. Suboptimal and offline conditions are always to be expected and planned for. This is shown by Ledger's offline-first design.

Which means it's also used in most Fuchsia projects.

The first usage I see of "SIP" after the title is in parenthesis after the full phrase.

Worse is their current policy. I've seen my wife watch Facebook videos and an ad will INTERRUPT THE VIDEO with a video of its own. That's completely unacceptable, to me.

I don't think he's exaggerating. Watch the segment that John Oliver did on Sinclair. The content of the "must run" pieces is definitely alarming.

Their privacy-focused mobile browser, Firefox Focus, defaults to DDG.

You definitely can build Flutter apps for Android without Android Studio. https://ifdevthentalk.com/2017/05/29/flutter-on-windows-with...

There's just something off about products from DG, especially the ones in specially marked DG packaging.

It's the same products I usually buy, but at a subtly lower quality. I always know, by taste, when cookies come from a dollar store.

Duracell batteries just don't seem to last as long.

Things like that.

Newsvoice is another

I don't like this world where every social interaction could have drastic, long-lasting effects on my reputation. Where every employee's word/deed is taken as a company action, unless otherwise specified.

I'm human, and I'm fallible. I will make, or have already made, a bad decision that someone else will be able to hold over me for the rest of my life.

People need to be allowed to make mistakes so they can learn from them. Not be crucified to make an example for others.

Good for him for apologizing. I don't envy his position. It's lonely at the top.

My childhood home was on "Eighth Street Drive." It's a two block long strip that is about ten feet shy of connecting with Eighth Street, so they slapped a different name on it.

"Homestar Brown" and "Pubic Gray" got me.

This seems like a pretty big stink to be dropping on the first day of Google I/O, with it's spotlight on (among other things) Firebase.

I hope this article forces their hand.

I think it's funny when the author compares SQL being most loved with least dreaded. They're the same thing. The percentages all add up to 100.

(Louisiana resident) I remember being taught about this issue in 2nd Grade, 15 years ago. So I agree with everyone's confusion to suddenly calling it an emergency.

I'm sorry, but shouldn't it be the responsibility of the party making the claim to provide evidence of patent infringement before the defendant is ever even affected?

What a sad state of affairs our court system is in if even a known false lawsuit can be devastating.

I'd think there would have to be something fundamentally different. It would have to be hardly recognizable as a "search engine."

There's too many clones on the market right now. Some with good purpose, like DuckDuckGo which can be simplified to "Google but without privacy invasion." Others like Bing could be just "Google but clunkier." (my opinion)

If you've got an idea on your hands that can't be described as "Google but..." then there's definitely room for another.

It makes me sad that I'm only becoming aware of this man and his work through the announcement of his chosen death.

Thank you HN for exposing me to worlds I would never otherwise discover.

On a personal note, I definitely will be using 0MQ in all my future projects. As a matter of fact, I'm glad I found it exactly this moment.
