I've not evaluated either of those two in the past, no. Neither of them existed last time I looked for decent competitors to Ant Design's library. Hmm. When I go to the MUI website right now — e.g. https://mui.com/

This has been my goto React UI framework for a number of years now - and has helped me deliver a number of projects, ranging in size from big to small. It’s consistent, well thought out, and both clients and users like it.

I have Bittle, their Open Source robot dog. Got it when they were doing the kickstarter. It’s pretty cool :)

No need to keep Mojave to run iTunes — iTunes can be run on newer macOS, by using Retroactive [1] to patch it. Regarding running a newer macOS on older hardware, check out OCLP [1] — do make sure you make full backups and have a working rec

Headline here is misleading: it's not a Boston Dynamics' robot dog. It's made by Petoi, and called Bittle. — I own one, after backing the kickstarter for it. It's a cool introduction to microcontrollers, programming and

I'm not sure I understand your comment here? Are you referring to the end of your MacBooks' life, or the beginning? It's somewhat ambiguous. Assuming you are referring to end of life process: Apple's kit sold as refurb i

I'm pretty sure your (repeated) comment here goes against HN guidelines — arguably: it's a shallow dismissal, it's snarky, it doesn't provoke thoughtful conversation, it supports an idealogical battle, etc., etc. Please

Except, with Apple's new kit here, the RAM isn't simply some external chip soldered to the main board, it's actually on-die with the CPU silicon (and everything else in that silicon: GPU, memory controllers, etc). So yes, arg

To some degree, the OP here is more or less just a rewording of, and invocation of, the 'think of the children' argument. And because of this, personally, I don't really buy it — at least: not the additional emotional weight&

I can recommend the Storz & Bickel 'Mighty' (by same makers as the Volcano) — perhaps plus a pack of spare parts / accessories (so one can postpone cleaning of the cooling / top part of the unit). Although, sure, it

Interesting project, thanks for sharing! :) Just as a point of reference (in the past I was a games dev), a game / sim running at 60 frames per second means that one has a budget of ~16ms/frame — a figure that you may want to cons

Indeed... MIT, GPL and Apache are all approved OSI licenses and on the list! [0] — Most well known open source licenses are, of course. Thanks for the citations, appreciated. I was on a mobile device when I made my previous comment, and it

From the headline alone, I guessed this was to do with pointers/references to values vs values themselves. Yep, with values that take a lot of memory, it's faster to pass pointers/references around than it is to pass the valu

According to the README on Github main page for the project, you need to provide the -m flag when working with HTML. — The tool parses XML by default, which is much stricter than HTML. Hence the error you are seeing (in HTML5, one can omit

There is a decoder in golang.org/x/images/webp already [0], I don't know how full-featured it is: I've never used it. The x libs are part of the Go Project but outside the main Go tree — and are fairly well-known to

I have a QuNexus, by Keith McMillen Instruments. It's pretty good for a small-pad portable keyboard — velocity sensitive, with per-key aftertouch in two axis (pressure and tilt). Oh, and the keys light up. Pretty much same size as the

Nah, I know exactly what LN is, and how it works. To be quite frank, based upon the fact you think the layers of OSI and TCP/IP are to help it scale, you clearly appear to have little (or no) understanding as to how that actually works
