How does one handle an upgrade to mutators? If a client is running old code then the operation will differ to the server. Obvious answer would be to version them independently: `in…

Has anyone built a mobile app on top of SQLite that can work offline, but then sync to a server when it gets connectivity? It feels like this could be built with a similar approach…

Looks great! I've currently use https://contexts.co/ but might switch over for the thumbnails

This also addresses an issue when you transition from black to transparent to emulate a shadow, and end up with a "cliff" where the gradient abruptly changes. You can see this in t…

Although it technically has cross platform GUI, Flutter has actually reimplemented all the native OS widgets. As soon as the OS changes some look and feel your app will look out of…

Do you know what effect those changes have in the body?

We currently use wasm on the Adobe XD team for rendering shared prototypes in the browser. It allows us to share C++ rendering code across desktop and web and has been a massive su…

You might be interested in a tool I wrote to serve .har files called server-replay: https://github.com/Stuk/server-replay It also allows you to overlay local files, so you can chan…

Thanks for mentioning Arq, that looks really useful. What are the cons you've found?

"atom" probably includes searches for the particle, not just the editor, so not really fair comparison. Also "vs code" trends higher than "visual studio code", so take all of these…

System Preferences > Keyboard > Customize Touch Bar (at bottom). Drag off buttons you don't want, drag on buttons you do. Not 5 seconds, but probably less than a minute.

It's in the article: "These switches to generic medical and psychotropic medications have from time to time caused an increase in reported adverse events, and this is likely to be …

Flutter looked great, until I realised that they were re-implementing all the OS controls themselves. For example: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/1db5d66932b873e17c8c... T…

Citymapper[1] will do that to a certain extent and it’s pretty good, especially with docked bikes. I wish I could tell it I like walking more than catching a connecting bus, so I’m…

Interesting project! Is there a writeup on how you architected the project to share 99% of code? I'd be really interested in reading that! From a skim it looks like React + React N…

Some developers might see this as a good move for them. I don't think it is. It might be a good move for developers in the short term but it’s a bad move for developers and the web…

Lots of interesting bits in here, and some parts very prescient. The more interesting thoughts to me were near the end: “throw-away workers”, and the last quote on “truth”.

There are very few individually maintained OSS projects that would generate enough money from donations. Henry Zhu, who maintains the massively popular Babel transpiler, only gets …

This is great, I love rush hour. Is there an web based version of the game where I can try some of these generated puzzles?

Except that rendering everything to canvas is not accessible to people with certain disabilities. Also mentioned recently here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16347216

Vegetarian means you don't eat animals, not that you don't eat GMOs...

I'm confused, how would the above help with a typosquatting package? The issue here is that `crossenv` is malicious, and `cross-env` isn't. The signatures would all be ok in both c…

The title is slightly misleading. This just looks like an alternative way to run Cucumber, not a complete alternative to Selenium.

Thanks for the mention but I only created JSZip[0], the library that powers the zip/unzip of js-xlsx[1], but not js-xlsx itself! [0] https://github.com/Stuk/jszip [1] https://githu…

Speaking of which, can anyone recommend a good VPN provider?
