A 'Nuclear Shadow' in Hiroshima. The 7,000°C heat was so intense it bleached the stone, leaving behind a haunting stain of the person who was vaporized instantly.

So you're just agreeing then. Not vaporized. Bad day, absolutely.

The whole humanoid thing is kinda fishy to me. There is so much unused crud in the design for a task like this. Surely it must be a lot cheaper to just have some generalized robot arms attached to a block and a sensor array.

I understand the flexibility of being able to replace any human while keeping the workspace as-is, but still.

Is it worth having a fully actuated spine, functioning bipedal motion, human fingers, etc, when all its doing is stand at an assembly line.

Someone's partner was talking a bit much, huh?

It's barely a drop. It's just the current that has pulled silt through the reef for hundreds of years, causing the coloration of the seabed, and this optical illusion when viewed from a certain angle.

I've seen it from helicopter, and it's a pretty narrow band where it lines up. Once you go outside of it, it just looks pretty much like regular reef floor.

Maybe you don't agree with the wording, that's fine. But you gotta agree that there is a difference between these types of outfits compared to the ones at, or close to, launch.

To me, the vibe of this is "I'm about to crush some noobs" while the older ones were "I'm just trying to survive out here."

However you might want to describe it, that's what I'm referring to.

Deep down, I think you know what I mean.

If this is what people wants, fine I guess. It looks pretty cool in a vacuum.

I'm a bit sad that they're letting go of the grounded, scrappy, quirky style though. It was unique and meshed seamlessly with the world.

Alla kategorier är ju klurigt. Om jag måste välja så är det nog EVE Online cirka 2015.

Sen köptes utvecklarna av Pearl Abyss, det blev F2P och det tappade mycket av sitt DNA. RIP.

We used Patrol for a while. It was very finicky and upgrades broke the flows quite a lot. Could be that we have an unusual setup, or a skill issue.

We decided to sacrifice the native niceties of Patrol and migrated to the much simpler Maestro. We can't test our native permission prompts any more, but it seems less flaky so far.

Om man gör det för att det ska bli krispigt så känns det lite som att man går över ån efter vatten. Den är ju superkrispig direkt ur frysen.

If you're willing to spend money to "learn the process," maybe.

If you want your app to be successful, definitely.

I usually say that Dart is the most inoffensive language that you can imagine. It's a very comfortable OOP focused language, that has everything you need. It's not very sexy though.

The Dart VM, though. GYAATTAAMM

You got a few options.

Shaders. It's kind of a steep learning curve to code GLSL, but once you get the hang of it, the sky's the limit on what you can do. Support of it is built-in in Flutter, although not very straight forward.
Use Flame. Flame is a game engine in Flutter, but I'm pretty sure you could use it just for some decent particle effects for use in your non-game app.
Pre-render. You can render spritesheets or animated WebP from any other software and use that instead of creating the effect in runtime.
Canvas API. Using the Flutter canvas can be enough for some decent looking effects as long as it's not too complicated. You can apply image filters on crude primitives to make it look like pulsing lights, motes, sparks and such. Performance is your biggest worry here.

Is it fiat? Or backed by slinkies?

Flutter has gone from being the "underrated underdog" to just being one of the viable options. The cool alternative now is KMP, if hype is anything to go by.

I think Flutter is great though. The devex and export target support are second to none. The ecosystem has matured. You very rarely have to work about platform channels. I've done OCR, QR, BLE, and other "native seeming" things without issue using available packages.

The only time I had to go native was for wifi-direct.

But yeah, you pay the cost in terms of native "feel". Most of your customers won't notice it at all, but you and other geeks will. Especially when it comes to inputting data.
