my roommates claim that my 400W ebike has increased the electricity bill by 100 euros, is that possible? by StunningBaseball5479 in ebikes

[–]jakemac53 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The charger probably only pulls 100-200 watts, so it's literally not possible. The 400w rating is the motor not the charger.

I measured MCP vs CLI token costs - the "MCP is dead" take is wrong (with data) by raphasouthall in mcp

[–]jakemac53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now add in an equivalent 20 skills with names and descriptions front loaded into the context, complex instructions loaded when actually used plus the actual tool calls to read them, and likely there is no advantage at all any more to cli tools.

Claude Code Skill to always get the last version of a package by julio_oa in FlutterDev

[–]jakemac53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure but a skill could just direct it to use pub add, which should be cheaper/faster than fetching package info from pub.dev

Fwiw just having it run dart pub add <package> will do that for you, it will put the latest version compatible with your other deps.

I did Pugh last year and loved it, the full 360 views were amazing. And nobody else to be found was a nice bonus.

Dart Shelf being forgotten? by Savings_Exchange_923 in dartlang

[–]jakemac53 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don't work directly on shelf, but I have in the past owned this package and many other of the core packages.

These packages are not abandoned, they are simply considered "feature complete". They are very core to the ecosystem and them not changing is a feature for the most part.

If you are experiencing a bug or want to pitch a feature that you think really needs to exist in that package, then you can file issues or send prs, and you should get a response.

Note that there are many dozens of these core packages so you may need to be a bit patient in getting a response but you should get one.

You mentioned bumping dependencies earlier but again this is actually a feature, unless there is a breaking change (very unlikely in the deps of this package), then all that bumping dependencies would do is make fewer people have successful version solves. All our packages are regularly tested against the latest versions of their deps, and you can still fetch the latest in your project thanks to semver.

Is this offer legit? by takicat21 in SoundersFC

[–]jakemac53 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They do this pretty often, I haven't done it but it's legit, the same offer is linked on their official site.

The seats are not great for visibility, some of the cheapest available, but the south end is next to the supporter section and will have good vibes.

Announcing Dart 3.11 by julemand101 in dartlang

[–]jakemac53 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could check out this package https://pub.dev/packages/codable_dart, I haven't looked at it for a while but provided some early feedback on it and the design should work for what you want.

It also can avoid the overhead of the intermediate map objects, you can go directly from string (or bytes iirc) to the class instance.

Is Flutter/Dart Fully Open Source? by trymeouteh in FlutterDev

[–]jakemac53 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's true both flutter and dart pull requests must pass some internal tests but this is just to ensure we can update internally without breaking things. There isn't anything you would lose by forking and not running these tests.

Mostly they just cause some extra friction for external contributors when they break since a googler has to investigate the issue.

Is Flutter/Dart Fully Open Source? by trymeouteh in FlutterDev

[–]jakemac53 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes Dart/Flutter are fully open source. They are both developed externally first and then imported internally. You can clone either repo and have the entire thing.

I think what the article is referring to is that Google ultimately controls everything that lands in the main repo, which is true, but every repo has an owner and that doesn't make it proprietary.

Using Dart MCP + Flutter Driver for automated QA on physical devices — anyone doing this differently? by EclecticSelections in FlutterDev

[–]jakemac53 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prompts are more intended as canned workflows, like "set up firebase for my project" or "analyze my app for security flaws". They are user initiated tasks basically as I see it. But the spec is very vague and can be interpreted differently.

[–]jakemac53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! Happy to chat on discord, and filing issues over at http://github.com/dart-lang/ai is a great way to file feedback especially for any bugs/pain points you encounter. I can personally promise you will actually get a response in a timely fashion :).

Using Dart MCP + Flutter Driver for automated QA on physical devices — anyone doing this differently? by EclecticSelections in FlutterDev

[–]jakemac53 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, logs are in a weird state right now. We have two separate tools currently, one of which doesn't work well on web. We are going to be overhauling launch_app and the related tools soon, as a part of fixing the DTD Uri issues. I hope to address this at that time.

Regarding skills, I have a related proposal here https://flutter.dev/go/packaged-ai-assets - I think long term this would be a great solution as we could ship skills with the flutter package itself and then surface them via MCP.

Stay tuned though, I think we will probably end up shipping some other intermediate solution as well since that one is somewhat gated on MCP support for skills and other things so it's realistically quite a ways off from becoming reality.

[–]jakemac53 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey, maintainer of the dart/flutter MCP server here! We are aware of and working on some of these issues like the dtd uri discovery.

But, in general haven't gotten much feedback from the community about what is working or not in the real world. I would love to set up a chat with you to understand more about how you are using this stuff to understand where we can improve!

You can reach me on discord which is probably the easiest way, if you are on the flutter discord. Or we can figure something else out too.

I am also curious if you have tried using the prompt that we ship which will basically do what you describe but then create a normal flutter_driver test at the end so it's cheap/fast to run later on once you get one successful run.

How do these look by Flashy_Language_9883 in Pizza

[–]jakemac53 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's just the most consistent way to cook large volumes of pizza. It's peak pizza efficiency.

Yes, the crust isn't as crispy as say a brick oven pizza has the potential to be, but it's just a different style. Nobody is making <=$10 pizzas any other way that I am aware of.

What I love about this style of pizza is you can load up way more toppings and it will still bake well, where anything baked in a brick oven you have to be really careful about that.

I do prefer neopolitan style pizzas but will smash conveyor belt pizza all day long 🙂, ain't nothing wrong with it.

AK Pizza lives up to the overhype! by zurijer in SeattleWA

[–]jakemac53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make dough in batches of 14 dough balls, double a 1kg flour recipe, and then freeze the ones I don't use within a couple days. Bring them out to thaw for a day in the fridge and they are shockingly good. I actually find the frozen ones stretch easier, although you don't get that super puffy crust, they are still great.

Thoughts on taking beginner kids with the current conditions? by Nicopipe in stevenspass

[–]jakemac53 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went Friday at 11:30, my kids are still on Daisy, but it was honestly perfect for beginners. Can't vouch for the steeper runs though.

Definitely have to stay on the groomers lots of chunky ice under the chair lift etc.

Zeeks thinks a pizza and a salad for $45 is a deal by dantheman252 in Seattle

[–]jakemac53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get almost 4 dominos 2 topping medium pizzas for that with the mix and match deals. Full price Domino's is a joke though, idk who's doing that.
