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: `increment_v1`, `increment_v2`, but wondering if there is a bet

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 to this distributed SQLite, you'd "just" nee

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 the tool when you transition from black to white wi

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 As soon as the OS changes some look and feel your app will look out of date.

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 success for us. The browser support is good enough for our cus

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 change code while reusing server responses

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 results with a pinch of salt.

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 due to negative attitudes towards generic medicine

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... This is the kind of thing tha

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 occasionally working on a side project to allow custom rout

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 Native.

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 in the long term. We need to keep the web APIs vendor

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”.

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 cases.

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

You run Browserify to bundle your modules offline, and then embed that bundle. With require1k you just embed the script and use one of the API methods to load your main module and everything is downloaded as needed. They are two different a

I can see that this approach might be viewed with a lot of suspicion, but this gels with a lot of problems we saw while building the MontageJS framework. CSS is global, and it is a big problem to manage while building a large web app (whi
