    As an OSX user I had problems with VS Code only on 2 occasions: 1. Syntax highlighting gives up on larger files. What can be considered "large" depends on your machine of course. I…

    For people not using CSS a lot, vh is a little tricky on mobile. I guess that's what's behind "kind of" in the parent comment. It has to do with the fact that the viewport size cha…

    Same here. I cannot stand using touch interface to do anything other than lightweight web browsing. I found an XBox One wireless controller worked wonders with my iPad for gaming.

    How long do you keep such cars? Also, 5/6 years old depending on mileage & make is usually the time for some expensive part replacements. Eg. water pump, thermostat & related senso…

    Hey EU, can you please ask BMW to open everything up to its rivals so that I can use Toyota's infotainment system instead of BMW's iDrive. I also want to be able to run PS games on…

    It's an interesting project but the website is full of statements that range from strange to downright false. 1. The comparison to React's ListBox is unfair until you reach feature…

    Hmm I wonder what was so "mindblowing" for them. I went from 6s plus to 13 pro and didn't notice a difference other than battery life & speed.

    The native (future) solution for Apple platforms is SwiftUI [1] + Combine [2]. I use it on a side project and for somebody who works with React 9-5 it feels very natural. In short …

    As a European living close to the crazy Ivan I'm grateful for US presence in the region. Otherwise many of us could be sitting in trenches right now

    What do you use it for? As a web developer I use Github's Copilot and enjoy its assistance the most in unit tests. I haven't found any use case for ChatGPT yet. I get better & quic…

    Translating ideas into code has never been the bottle neck in software development. Well, not in web dev anyways. Developers spend very little time writing code compared to reading…

    I hope I'm not misinterpreting the point 11. As somebody with nearly 20 years in the field I found that the least knowledgeable people will often have the strongest opinions. Later…

    Just a regular day in the EU. Can the EU pass law for all cars to use the same tyre dimensions? A set of EU approved haircuts would also be very welcome! /s
