Cloud Functions and Admin SDK for Firebase now supports Dart as an experimental feature 🎯 This means Flutter developers can use the same programming language throughout their whole stack and share logic between the frontend and backend.

See you at Cloud Next!

TSA checking IDs at the gate sure isn't ominous...

Leave it to win32 to have "ERROR_MORE_DATA".

As I've slowly migrated some projects to the HSM; I found myself needed a few more features; replace/copyWith: github.com/jtmcdole/hie...

HSM 2.2.1 released... why? While I have "stable" flutter running, I didn't use flutter_test till I started migration and hit the dreaded version pinning >:(

And the gathering and sharing of all the tools in my toolbox continues: core_bus (pronounced corvus) - const Events with type safety, no choke points, callbacks for performance and streams if you need'em. replayable events as well. no deps either. #opensource pub.dev/packages/cor...

Just added serialization to my hsm library. mostly handwritten. Also added plantuml output. I want to support mermaid, but how do you write text inside the state blocks? github.com/jtmcdole/hie...

Proud to be the 131st backer 😎 on @BackerKit Crowdfunding for New Edge Sword & Sorcery 2026! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

HSM 2.0 published - now with nearly all the things I wanted years ago: * Proper event deferral * Deep and Shallow history * Fork, Choice, Terminate, Final pseudo states * Blueprints for composability + validation * Performance: lca and paths precomputed * PSSM tests pub.dev/packages/hie...

How is this the world we live in today? > President Trump posted a blatantly racist video clip portraying former President Barack Obama and the former first lady Michelle Obama as apes

Today I released Portico Auth - A modular, Dart-native authentication and authorization ecosystem designed for self-hosting and experimental applications. For a long time my personal home projects have used this JWT/JWE/Auth0 API, but in a copypasta fashion...

I love working on open source code at Google. This is the account you should be following.

I don't want Greenland. I don't know of anyone real person that wants Greenland.

So proud of Jess for landing in one of this year's issues!

Read this article and I feel like we should tax unrealized gains when they are effectively realized through "buy, borrow, die" strategies. If you sell - great, use it against capital gains. Unfortunately we live in a lottery society, hoping to be the next billionaire.

I like brain candy!

My 2025 reading list in which I just finished The Devils down to the wire.

The buffet we are at has a 25' screen showing Ai holiday images.

Had to do some internal training. Training includes fixing busted python and jupyter notebooks that are quickly outdated. "Fun". There's got to be a much better / effective / intuitive / engaging platform for training.

New laptop, new windows install, already seeing update error 0x800f0991. I hate windows. Time to download 7GB iso images to repair. <grumble>

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!

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

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!
