6 years ago, I wrote an AES AEAD library in Dart just to go through the motions and learn the encryption. I had CCM and OCB, but never added GCM... Gemini 3 and Antigravity said "hold my beer". NIST and boringssl test vectors passed!

Happy Halloween from the New California Republic!

The new M5 Vision Pro adds 150g to the already overweight M2 Vision Pro. "But they give you a cool new strap to distribute the weight!" some articles read... sorry, its still 800g hanging off your face, torquing your neck.

Meet the Flutter Extension for Gemini CLI 👋 This extension combines the Dart and Flutter MCP Server with additional context and commands, making it easier and more productive to build Flutter apps with Gemini CLI. Get started → goo.gle/46SMYMg

Check out the new #FlutterDev extension for Gemini CLI and throw the repo a star to help other Flutter devs find it :)

I'm still very much in love with Silksong. While I play primarily on my steam deck as its attached to the TV - sometimes you need to just switch back to something with a little less compounded latency to "get gud"... youtu.be/HFPmqUOjqMc

The latest Flutter beta was updated on Aug 1: 3.35.0-0.2.pre We're locking down for the next stable release. We'd love to know if you find any show stoppers as soon as possible. Please file issue with the `flutter --version` info included.

Cat: Laundry Day

This year's unavoidable DLC - an ear that feels like it has water in it and ringing. Fun!

Interesting find while repairing some battery connectors on a headset. There's a ton of connectors out there, and finding images of each (along with some calipers for validation) was hard, till I came across this blog. www.mattmillman.com/info/crimpco...

Gemini in DartPad integration landed! Great work from @jryanio.bsky.social, @csells.bsky.social, and others!

Your Outie comes to a complete stop at the stop sign before proceeding.

Using Flutter on the web? Wish you had hot reload? You can try it out (in beta) today! Details here: www.reddit.com/r/FlutterDev...

Version 0.0.3 appears to work :) ``` lcov_format --lcov coverage/lcov.info --out coverage -f html ``` pub.dev/packages/lco...

How does one reference a file from a `dart pub global active` script? Looks like I'm getting: `~/.pub-cache/global_packages/lcov_format/assets/web.tar.bz2` but I expect: `~/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dev/lcov_format-0.0.1/assets/web.tar.bz2`

LCOV dart-only experiment almost done (I've been sick for days): - melos for juggling multiple packages (A+) - jaspr for web prezzo (B+)* Melos was great; I cribbed a lot from the @flame-engine.bsky.social well setup repo. Jaspr was neat. Fast loading. Debugging on Windows is busted. 🧵

Nothing like volunteering to earn you a gnarly cold. I've been out of commision for the last 2 days :( Super glad my company is good with sick time.

When debugging in jaspr, the browser locks up for a second and then goes crazy. Am I holding this thing wrong? I just want to inspect layout. also: dumb side quest almost fully done.

Trying out something new for #Flutter notable commits... 😜 Buckle up Flutter devs, over 200 changes landed in Flutter in the last 2 weeks! 🌊 Dive into the highlights from this week's report..

Got up early to do ops on the Polaris District Pinewood Derby. It only took about ~4 hours and a few race restarts, but we managed!

Sometimes it's fun to reinvent the wheel. Main Quest: open sourcing some homelab self-host auth0 stuff. SQ1: using melos to break up the packages SQ2: pubspec workspaces (neat) SQ3: lcov parsing and formatting of dart code, in dart code. SQ4: maybe learning some jaspr?

Do you know about sequence control? 🎮 Come to Daria Horlova's session "Sequence Control: Avoiding Chaos in Multiplayer Game Logic" at the #FlutteristasConf2025. She will share insights on implementing scalable game logic with Flutter's state management tools. 🧩 👉 flutteristas.org #flutterdev

My daughter 's. 5th grade science fair project required power tools + microcontrollers. It was a good day for hacking.

Lightsabers were made to be used.

Having deleted twitter from my phone, I've found I've checked out bluesky less. I mean +1 to less social media, but I suspect twitter notifications just reminded me to open the app more.

I'll take those scores. #BeatSaber #Metallica

Can we all come together and agree... the calendar is broken and we should change to the International Fixed Calendar? * Each month has exactly 4 weeks. * Same day every week * 13 months (Sol, between June and July) * Freebee holiday. Same with leap days. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interna...

#Flutter development on a #SteamDeck? Yes. - install distrobox - install your favorite distro `~/bin/distrobox create -i ubuntu:24.04` - jump in `~/bin/distrobox enter ubuntu-24-04` - download from flutter.dev - install packages to make `flutter doctor` happy github.com/89luca89/dis...

Spent far too long trying to figure out why my beast of a machine was power-off rebooting (no blue screen, just blank screens and then the boot screen) when _rendering_ in #blender This video apparently fixed the problem: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHkD... 5950x, 4090, 32GB RAM, CPU Affinity 16

I love it when packages have demo web apps.

Plunder, a pirates life! Had to use a Sharpe to fix one of the double three-pip die.

Are people looking for videos or blog posts more for tutorials? Flutter or Blender related.

For years, I relied on my own bash/zsh aliases for Flutter commands. Today I learned (TIL) that there's an Oh My Zsh plugin that provides built-in Flutter aliases. I'm going to switch to this! github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmy... #FlutterDev

Played a round of Plunder: A Pirate's Life before noticing the sailing die has a misprint, neat! LostBoyGames is sending me a new one.

Look; I didn't say it was going to be easy....

#Flutter merge day 1: pretty successful, with a side of draft PRs. Someday the infrastructure will be simpler and we'll all look back on this and chuckle about the old days.
