Does this method let you move instances “under the hood”?

Yes, Flutter is “sponsored” by other money making teams inside Google. It is why resources have been spent on Flutter for Web, which no one asked for - the Ads team essentially bought the feature for their usage. This was also how React Native got its start in Facebook.

So my read of Flutter is it’s a way for talent to “ship and get promoted” inside Google or to support other Google product teams. Everyone else is a secondary priority.

DO App platform

Can you expand this reference please, Google/Github search didn't give me any obvious results.

Very useful in my opinion, given the decline of Google

Edit: Referring to ways of discovering non-mainstream content

Atlassian's Confluence (Cloud). A showcase for the decline in web based software forced by the move to make everything a SPA. A terrible new editor experience. Slow JavaScript heavy page loads. No persisted markup editing.

Yes, a common reaction, until newbies (like myself) find configurations like Doom Emacs and Spacemacs and come to realize the opposite. For myself it's only missing a slightly better "rending experience" like VSCode.

Looks visually pleasing, but I found their more complex diagrams harder to read compared with something more plain.

Some history and downsides to the `io` domain: https://www.thewebmaster.com/hosting/2016/feb/27/io-tld-top-...

I could see both working well when depending on the situation and audience. In my role I'm seeing a need for plain diagrams that need to be kept up-to-date and a "pretty" diagram for showing the bosses for 30 seconds in presentations.

Great to hear your experiences. I've played with the VS Code extension and even run PlantUML server locally in Docker which worked very well.

Do you create actual UML diagrams or just use the shapes and constructs available in PlantUML to create a more ad-hoc diagrams?

waste minutes fiddling with getting the arrows all matched up

I can resonate with this!

I've been looking at draw.io and PlantUML - what has worked well for others? draw.io is much easier to get into, but I can see declarative diagrams making maintenance easier for long-lived docs.

All those eggs from one breeding pair, do insects not need gene diversity for the population to succeed?

I like this approach because it can be applied to any technology stack. It's also very refactor friendly.

Organizing by feature gives you immediate feedback about 'what' the application does, instead of what framework it's written in.

I find this structure much more useful during the application's maintenance lifetime, but it does force you to think more about naming and the division of what a 'feature' is.

Does libsass work 100% with the Bootstrap sass port? Every time I've checked on libsass support it is behind the ruby version in some way.

For simple use cases I still use batch files as the performance is much greater. Powershell feels too heavy when I just want to run a build with some parameters and a couple of other commands.

Is this a spam site? Because it reads like an ehow article.

Mercurial's changeset evolution sounds really powerful and seems to address the 'git rebase and force push' problems that can occur.

The enterprise and business division is turning into a juggernaut at Microsoft that shows no sign of slowing down. Unlike the Windows team, they have a clear focus and vision guiding them.

The key behind this would be strong anti-discrimination EU legislation [1] which means both the airport and the airline are responsible for disabled passengers. [2]

Degrades perfectly down to IE7, great example on how to do this - the design and functionality become less and less polished yet it still does the core tasks accurately.

And the driver was just pushed overboard, yikes.

I'm not sure about how it is in USA but a lot of countries have strict rules around the media reporting suicides, so it is deliberate that the topic is under reported.

Naturally a lot of people disagree with this and there's constantly heated debate on the future of the media's role.

The problem with catering to the market that wants a better looking Windows 98 is there is no growth potential. Sure Microsoft would still make a lot of money, like they have with Windows 7, but the the entire PC market has weak growth forecasts so they cannot rely on x% growth in PCs to grow their sales.

"like a gloss on Windows 7" - From what I've read[1] so far this is not the case. The APIs that 'Metro style' apps use are built deep into Windows. In fact it seems more like the opposite - legacy Windows is treated more like another app that you can switch to, if you're on x86/x64 machine.

"But the really startling bit is the use of non-alphanumeric or characters: Yep, less than 1% of passwords contained a non-alphanumeric character."

This doesn't surprise me at all. Non-alphanumeric characters are hostile for users to type in often. Add other peripherals like phones and a PS3 controller and it's even harder.

I've had good service so far. They're a reseller too though (enom).

Thanks for the port Tomas - been enjoying it for several years. Always leaves a 'mark' when people see it for the first time.

Great to see; loving what AppHarbor offers over other .NET based 'cloud' hosts. Simplicity above all else.

Facebook will have a much easier time attracting top search engineers too.
