Most people may not buy specific AirPlay speakers, but for example if you have an AppleTV or AirPort-express they can be used for this as well. I use it a lot and I'm glad iTunes can find them!

Try Firefox Nightly. Runs super smooth on my Mac, and I think WebRender is what solves this for many people.

That reason is probably to discover AirPlay speakers on the network, right? Sounds useful to me

As someone maintaining Obj-C libraries, I can see why. Usually the Swift examples are 90% the same thing so maintaining both is just a boilerplatey hassle. And really, I expect all competent iOS developers to be able to use an Objective-C A

Telegram for example supports most of Discords features, is native, and is incredibly fast. I use Discord and like it, but it is incredibly slow at starting, switching rooms, and even just loading new messages. But the most aggravating thin

The issue itself is that Chromium uses a lot of memory. And electron basically just runs Chromium. Except that since each Electron-based app ships its own very isolated copy of Chromium, the following problems occur: - The operating system

Never had this problem. How did you install/how do you launch it? Does it require root access for some reason?

Wow, thanks for reminding me. I totally forgot this game existed. It was fun!

All this sounds very useful! If I ever decide to make a game I will definitely use a spreadsheet as database.

Cool, wasn't aware of that one. Reinventing the wheel once again :) Adding custom CSS/JS to Fastmate would be pretty simple, I might just do that as well. Is there anything that you miss in your fluidapp setup that could be added

Is there a better wording? The wrapper is a native OSX app, adding some native features the web app lacks. Memory usage should be roughly the same as running it in Safari, right now around 23MB on my computer.

This is a small project that I made mostly for my own use. I did learn about Fastmail through HN, so maybe someone else here has use for something like this!

Most universities with computer science have courses in networking, which usually includes programming a router. I’m sure some courses are available online

On my computer, "bare" Chrome with 0 tabs open still uses ~100MB of memory. If Electron would just use 100MB for the base compared to 100 * number of open Electron apps, that's still a pretty big win in my book.

One big problem with Electron apps today IMO is that different apps cannot share memory, even though 90% of them is the same (Chrome/V8 etc). That would be solved if you had one Electron binary that started each app, much like a JVM. T

Since Lua “arrays” are just tables with numerical keys, couldn’t you just start at 0 if that’s your preference?

I think there’s a much simpler example of how code is data: (hello world) That’s a list containing two symbols. So it’s data. However, if I evaluate that list, it will call the function “hello” with the argument “world”. So it’s al

As someone else who have hired developers I agree with the parent post here. Examples include: - totally oblivious to standard library for the language/frameworks, reimplementing the most basic things (poorly) - even after a 3 year CS

I usually don’t use the debugger to debug language features, but rather my own logic. It’s very useful to step and inspect parameters when you can’t really see your own logic errors.

Doesn’t seem like anyone assumes that. I’m interested in this stuff, but having it visual and physical like that would spark my interest even more. Seems like a no brainer that it makes students learn without studying a text book

Guess I’m stupid! I played the 10 hour demo, and then pre-ordered, based on my own experience being that the game is really fun. The reddit complaints are blown way out of proportion.

The way I learned was by figuring it out myself through hacking. I decided to start with a program that could set the color of a single pixel, then tried to figure out how to draw a line from that, and from that to a triangle. After that, t

I’ll join you and show off mine as well! Runs in terminals, and also has a rougelike adventure mode where you navigate the board with a character. https://github.com/accatyyc/terminal-mines

Same applies to IVPN, FWIW.

Agree with this! I love researching and acquiring quality things. Doesn’t mean I have too much stuff. I love throwing stuff away, but will also enjoy spending a lot on stuff I care about. Quality above quantity.
