Retrokits RK-006 may solve all your problems but its pretty pricy. I assume based on that price that it‘s also not a simple device.

I generally agree but wouldn‘t be so dogmatic on the 5-pin. I know some people consider 3.5mm to be the devil‘s plug, but as a eurorack player I don‘t. I feel like MIDI on 3.5, now that the polarity is standardized, is really helping the go

It may be possible, but it will not be pleasant to use tracing to answer those kinds of questions. Sounds like something you can do with off the shelf product analytics tools like Amplitude or Mixpanel. Do you already have something like th

If I have an if else case, a switch statement or something similar, it can often predict the next branch exactly how I would write it. That‘s probably 80% of the suggestions I accept, the rest is single line autocompletes. I have never acce

http://calca.io is a decent alternative that‘s available on Windows and still maintained on mobile.

There are the "calculator notepad" apps like Soulver, Calca, Numi and I‘m sure some open source options as well. I use Calca on my phone quite a bit, but something with an actual table could be interesting.

I have a library that is a mix of Apple Music, iTunes Match and mp3s from some wild sources. It works nicely in the music app and is provided as an OS-level service to other player frontends. Seems great to me. It‘s a huge issue that you ca

I think the way the docs introduce functional components (destructure the props argument right away) sets you up for success with TypeScript. The main ways to get started that they recommend (CodeSandbox, CRA, next.js) let you add typescrip

Loading Boundary type things do have that issue, but the part where you can delay any update for the 70ms your very fast API response takes, while showing an inline loading indicator, is a real UX win.

I started doing this when the third party apollo-react-hooks package came out with support for it years ago. It was wonderful. I have stopped based on hazy recommendations from the react team about what the future looks like, but I miss it.
221.
by kall 5y ago
That‘s how I think of hooks. They don‘t let you express the lifecycle of things, only the data dependency graph. React moved the level of abstraction a second time, and I think they succeeded.

Yeah safari barely works on it, which is maybe half because its outdated and half because websites have gotten a lot heavier since then. The iPad had a tiny amount of RAM by today‘s standards. Something like 512 MB, or even 255? iOS was agg

Hm, I have an OG iPad that runs a few excellent apps (TouchOSC, Animoog, Samplr) well enough that it‘s still a worthwhile device with just those. TouchOSC in particular should get massive props. As of last year, it was still able to update

That's good to hear. I did not mean to say these are actual problems, since I have never used these tools, only that a new approach needs some care. As long as you don't take over routing most problems fall away. Once you do, it b

It took SPAs something like 5 years of popularity to get to a place where they are basically fine. I‘m thinking of things like routing, open new tab, back button working, back button state/scroll restoration, sane loading indicators, a

I don‘t think it will, since flutter 100% bypasses UIKit and renders directly to pixels with Skia.

Yeah, I don‘t expect a drastic shift, but I would expect some details, like the weird material tap animation, to change for the better. Maybe the youtube app will support all iOS screen sizes with their safe area insets and properly sized t

That‘s great news. I‘m guessing big apps like Maps and Youtube will become a lot nicer while the small ones will be mediocre Flutter versions.

When you start an app trial, and cancel right away, your trial stays active for it‘s duration. When you do the same with an Apple service like Music or Arcade, the service stops right away. This keeps you from pre cancelling a subscription

I‘m a fan of the fledgling CF stack but it‘s arguably more proprietary. You can‘t run containers, you can‘t run a normal database, you have to architect the application exactly for their system.

Pulumi promises same-day support on their "Native" providers like this one, so I think they really don‘t.

I think Apple only considers the end user part of their systems "production". Developer experience is more "best effort".

I hope a flagship feature of the next iOS is an "emergency low power mode". Shut down on the last 5% of battery and make that last for 24h or something in that range. Use only dim white on one part of the OLED, show me the time, s

I‘m pretty sure all Nokia phones did that.

Aren‘t there two types of microphone in the apple world? You have "studio grade microphones" on, I think, the iPad Pro and MacBook Pro, and just plain microphones on anything else. It‘s a marketing term like Retina display but I a

Interestingly, apple at one point made an app just like this called "Music Memos" but dropped it pretty soon. I think it has been partly rolled into garageband.

In the emails from the Epic trial, they had a special acronym just for this: UTB (under the bus) that was used in multiple contexts (so probably not a one off joke).

I've only used the SaaS version, but Sentry can be self hosted for free, can't it? Has anyone done this and is it feasable?

I started doing this because of React but at this point ({}) is my default way of starting a function. The only thing I dislike is that it's not super ergonomic for explicit typescript declarations (but great when using typescript to c

3 happens regularly and I don‘t see how the other two would really be different, since some pulumi providers are using terraform providers under the hood.
