While I'm always excited to see Electron alternatives, they all try to address the same issues and fall short on the exact same areas. Yes, Electron eats a lot of resources and generates big distributables. I would love to give my user

The industry is changing towards more automated testing, I heard of a lot of AAA studios implementing/creating testing frameworks. It was very uncommon back in the days, they just threw a bunch of badly paid and overworked QAs at new b

I feel like news like this shouldn't even be reported on, it gives unnecessary exposure to the developer and game. They breached the ToS of Valve, they rightfully got a ban, let them sink into oblivion and not make a big story out of i

Having stepped on many Legos in my childhood, I would clearly put the classic 2x2 brick, number 6 and 5 from the article in my top 3 most painful ones. Number 4 is soft and deforms when stepping on it, not sure why it made it that high in t

The 5th point in this article is what makes me end up using Electron most of the time. As much as I love Tauri (and Wails), WebView requires to make sure the application renders exactly the same across all platforms. Sure, Electron comes wi

For small JS projects, I use Passport[0] as it is quite simple to implement and has ton of examples (including how to use it with Next). For bigger projects where I need a full-fledged and reliable solution out of the box, I use Ory[1]. [0]

The point of this Tweet is about licensing. When using an MIT licensed library for example, you would have to give attribution. But you can easily rewrite portion of that library yourself using Copilot, which could potentially use code from

I've been in the same boat, twice. It's unfair and frustrating, especially when you feel you contributed a lot to the company and everyone else except these few managers showed appreciation towards you and your work. I also felt t

Off-Topic but Ghost's recruitment process was an instant turn off for me. As much as I love the project and would have liked to work on it, I couldn't commit to spend 5 to 10 hours on a coding task without even talking to a human

The Russian shell company as a proof of involvement of Russian intelligence services puzzles me quite a bit. I thought this could be done remotely without the need of a local branch. It sounds more like it has been established there to sell

Similarly to OwnTracks, there's a NextCloud app called PhoneTrack (together with an Android app that has the same name) that provides location tracking. Been using it for some weeks and the NC integration is pretty neat. It allows sepa

It was quite a roller coaster to move to alternative services, and also giving up on all social media. But after a while you get used to things and find handy alternatives (like MagicEarth for maps, this app is great!). It feels liberating

It's quite ironic how medias use Russian polls when it sticks to their narrative, and bashes them when it doesn't (i.e. Crimean referendum). We should take them all with the same level of skepticism.
