I have no idea why I have new followers, but just a reminder I am now at https://t.co/h4yaJB6kHg so why not give me a follow over there?

If you ever see this tweet cause this hell hole might just delete it as it mentions a competing site...

@mraleph @PRAGMA Ah, thanks! Should I be transitioning more over to FFI externals or will this continue to be supported?

[Jeff Ward @fuzzybinary]

@mraleph I'm guessing something changed / is changing in Dart 3.0 related to how native "top-level" functions are resolved? Is there a way to set a native resolved for top level functions in dart_api.h at the moment? https://t.co/BLOSPSoX0M

[Jeff Ward @fuzzybinary]

@mraleph Okay, looks like I may have been taking advantage of some lazy JITting which resolved natives late. Starting sometime in Dart 2.19 the code gets JITted earlier... I think? So it doesn't have a native resolver. Maybe a change in the dfe....

[Jeff Ward @fuzzybinary]

@mraleph Must have changed earlier than 2.19... all 'native' functions aren't calling the native function resolver anymore 😓

@konjak The instance can make a pretty big difference. But, I know it's not quite the same.

It's just not terrible, which I think is an improvement?

[Jeff Ward @fuzzybinary]

@kevmoo I've already reserved an Ionic 5.

@perpetualcode Mastodon is so nice. I actually have no idea why I'm back over here...

[Jeff Ward @fuzzybinary]

What the hell @DisneyPlus? Why in GODS NAME do you need to know my GENDER to allow me to keep streaming? WTF does it matter?!

[Jeff Ward @fuzzybinary]

@charlesrandall You know, Mastodon is actually kinda nice....

[Jeff Ward @fuzzybinary]

Hey #Flutter and folks, what are some good Flutter conferences I should look into for 2023?

Looks like I may be at re:Invent this year if anyone wanted to say hi.

@ghost_girl13 That was something that struck me when I was there. So many folks had already been there a long time.

Some people said "what if there was a gamedev twitter, without the rest of twitter bs", and then I spun up this Mastodon instance. https://t.co/jL1oLYUxrS
