That's a good point. I'm using one local db in a docker container. And then all db-related integration tests are running in parallel (which is the default in Rust via "cargo test") on this local db. Having much more conf

Yes, appropriate description. This way you can use your mouse to navigate your app instead of switching between mobile device and mouse all the time. I was surprised that there is no noticeable lagging. If you like you can turn the device s

Using it for app development. Better performance than android emulators, and better workflow if you place the copied screen side-to-side to your IDE.

Sounds great. Which tool do you use for pair programming?

I agree that we only have the choice between the devil and the deep blue sea concerning mobile OS. But why is iMessage so great (asking as a non-apple user)? Is it even e2e? Great alternatives which are not locked into a specific OS are Sig

The first time you deal with Google's customer support, you wish you had never dealt with Google in the first place. Their decisions are slow, arbitrary and often inconsistent. Regularly, they are not answering at all. We are fighting

Or alternatively, "timestamp without time zone default (now() at time zone 'utc')" is fine as well and does make the time zone explicit in the type definition.

Currently, there are four (more or less relevant) android app stores as far as I know: - Google Play - Huawei AppGallery - Samsung Galaxy Store - Amazon AppStore But Google Mobile Services (GMS) are so widely spread and often pre-installed

For Huawei this has only been true since the US-china trade wars. There are still a ton of Huawei devices with GMS pre-installed. A service like GMS would be important for Samsung, too, as there are quite some Samsung devices out there. How

by quambene 5y ago
Yes, you are right. The real problem is the ubiquity of Google Mobile Services (GMS) though, rather than the app store itself. For example, GMS are pre-installed on all Samsung devices, but Samsung's equivalent is not installed on all

As much as like F-Droid, it is only for open-source apps, isn't it? However, the majority of apps is still closed source. I would like to see an alternative android app store, which can also serve closed-source apps. Another problem is

A lot of banks are offering photoTan. You get a special device just for generating your photo tan. It's more secure than sms tan and you wouldn't need a mobile phone anymore.

An open sourced AppleQEMU would be great. I would like to build and distribute iOS apps from linux without the need of a MacBook. IMO, Windows 11 is going in the right direction. Android apps and progressive web apps for the windows store c

But it seems this standard is not adopted widely?! To be more accurate, I would have to reformulate my question: Why is there no widely adopted standard for api documentation?

I'm welcoming any competition to the app store duopoly. I'm excited about Ubuntu Touch [1] as well. It's open source and hopefully does integrate well with Ubuntu Desktop. Would like to see a "Ubuntu App Store" as w

I'm a great fan of progressive web apps (PWAs). However, last time developing a PWA, the support by Apple’s Safari browser was not yet sufficient. For example, you couldn't add an app shortcut to the home screen on iOS. So today y

I was quite disappointed as well. I guess the only way to go is to use a strong password, which is NOT "memorizable" and hope that the reminder banner won't show up too often. Very sad ...

And even more importantly, external content should always be a link instead of a button. If it's a button, you can't see where you are going which is a poor user experience and security issue. Other than that, neat idea.

I can relate with you! However, to prevent the time-expensive and often difficult-to-answer question 'Do I really need it in the future?', I'm archiving (more or less) everything. Concerning your archiving method, I am sugges

Your archiving method seems like a waste of time if a) you don't need them, and b) you could just save a bookmark with one click in your browser. I believe bookmarks (or something similar) have still its place in an increasingly digita

I am archiving many links in my desktop browser (about 50 folders with various subfolders and each with a dozen links). The problem is that I would also like to have them available on mobile devices. Sure, most of the time you will not need

Do you know if there is a free trial for pinboard.in? It seems that you can't try it out without providing your credit card information, which is a UX no-go for me.
