Oh absolutely. I enjoyed that too. I wish MS would also poke fun at Sony's "We believe that PS5 games should take advantage of the new capabilities and features we're bringing to the platform" statement attempting to jus

I'm in the "this thing seems way over engineered" camp. The stand rotates not to hide the screw hole (it's a neat feature, but the screw seems to clip into something to stay put), rather it rotates just to fit the odd sh

Loving the shade MS is throwing Sony's way around things like how to play a game released last gen (you put the disc in your console), or how to put the console in a different orientation (you lay the thing on its side).

I think you will have to tell Babel / TypeScript which import gets magically added (if any), and how to transpile JSX tags.

GloSC[1] will get you steam controller mapping / streaming for UWP apps (and more, but I've never had an issue ie adding UPlay games as non-steam games). Here's Minecraft Dungeons running on iOS via Steam Remote Play that I j

I've always wanted to try a tiling window system, but they just don't seem to gel with how I work at all. Rarely, if ever, do I want a window to take up some common percentage of the screen. My editor is ~100 columns, which will c

Someone has a fork that gets it working with later versions of macOS, but it still has some worts. Very sad cause it's a brilliant little tool. https://github.com/PBMacDev/ControlPlane/tree/mojave https

fb2k always seemed so cool, and I used it for a while during the bad years of winamp, but it definitely had that "useless by default" feel to me. Like it's cool that you can map global hotkeys, can you please default to suppo

Searchable menus should be standard at this point, they're so handy in macOS, and Unity had them while it was around.

Don't forget they already charge $99-$299 USD/year.

The library in question did use that function, but without something set up at the endpoint, it's not very useful: > A remote host is considered reachable when a data packet, sent by an application into the network stack, can leave

> but this kind of bug exists because it’s using React Native Considering how this issue was from a package that isn't included with React Native, this seems like a bit of a stretch.

Part of me wonders if this is Microsoft just trying to align with Epic, in the cast that the courts do side with Epic, who in turn use that ruling against Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo.

We're just in the process of switching to GraphQL for data fetching, pretty shocked people would even consider trying to hack client-side state management into it. Redux still fills that role very well.

For me, most everything is run through Steam. Steam games, games from GoG/EGS/Origin/GamePass, emulators, all that. Big picture mode, controller mapping, remote play, and remote play together are amazing. Not sure what's

Still though, it casts a very wide net. I'm super fond of simplifying things and having fewer dependencies (one reason why I prefer TypeScript over Babel), but I'm not sure why I would want my test runner to ever care about format

> Apple pioneered the 30% cut How so? Wasn't it the standard brick-and-mortar rate, and Steam had already been taking 30% for a few years at that point.

Interesting. We're using apollo-server on top of an existing REST api and to add a single field our process is: - update the graphql schema - implement any resolvers and we're done. More things happen in the background, but a deve

Yep, this stood out to me too. Drives me absolutely nuts when an element you expect to be inline is now suddenly block. Especially because the author's reasoning is "it can cause confusion when trying to position them or add verti

Definitely review multiple, because I find normalize.css to be pretty useless as it doesn't set `box-sizing: border-box;`, or `img { max-width: 100%; }`

When I posted my comment the title simply read "twitter compromised". I'm not sure if the exact nature of the attack is known, but it definitely wasn't at the time.

Luckily this is all in the browser's UI, nothing a webpage can do to block that.

In Safari, you can right-click the speaker icon in the tab or address bar, and there's a PIP option in the menu. Not as accessible as Firefox for sure.
