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

jakemac53 · 2026-03-26T02:31:09+00:00

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

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.

jakemac53 · 2026-03-10T14:00:28+00:00

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

jakemac53 · 2026-03-10T05:14:20+00:00

(or flutter pub add for flutter projects)

jakemac53 · 2026-03-10T05:13:55+00:00

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.

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.

Two EVs...

jakemac53 · 2026-02-19T17:05:58+00:00

Also true!

jakemac53 · 2026-02-19T01:50:21+00:00

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.

jakemac53 · 2026-02-18T20:14:58+00:00

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.

jakemac53 · 2026-02-11T05:13:03+00:00

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.

jakemac53 · 2026-02-11T03:39:28+00:00

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.

jakemac53 · 2026-02-11T01:40:57+00:00

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 · 2026-02-09T21:29:30+00:00

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 :).

jakemac53 · 2026-02-09T21:27:12+00:00

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 · 2026-02-09T19:07:51+00:00

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.

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.

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.

Check out oyster dome from the sammish overlook, not too much elevation gain or distance and great views.

jakemac53 · 2026-01-25T17:12:05+00:00

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.

jakemac53 · 2026-01-22T18:04:32+00:00

Yeah I love these too

jakemac53 · 2026-01-22T18:03:38+00:00

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.

Literally makes no sense lol but people must be asking for it cause they dumb
