Modern React (with functional components and hooks) is actually pretty easy to learn. I picked it up in my mid-30s with minimal JS experience (coming from the PHP world) and became a full-time frontend dev after that. Vite makes the tooling

I love this so much! Even as someone who uses a lot of heavy npm libs, the simple elegance of this approach is beautiful.

I'm a web dev with both a M2 Max (in a Pro) and a M3 (Air). Never heard the fan come on a single time with either machine while developing. Heat has never been an issue. Battery life is superb on both. Pro has better screen but is way

I think I'm just going to fatigue myself back to my old Android phone and ancient iPad (of some sort) from the last decade...

I don't need to replace my laptop, but I would like to learn digital drawing on it. Is there a cheaper non pro version with a big screen and stylus support? Is the Apple Pen (or Pencil?) different between models?

I'm so confused by their lineup. I'm in the market for a new iPad, but I can never remember the difference between an iPad, iPad Pro, and Air. What's the difference between this an a 13" Pro or Non-Air? I wish they'

I just use Google Drive since it's where all my stuff lives anyway. It's free up to 15 GB, or $20/yr for 100 GB. Probably if you're on Mac or Windows, iCloud and whatever the Microsoft one is called now also has free sto

I am not familiar with Pandoc, but it looks like a command-line tool that can do the same things? (Edit: I suspect this is probably one of those situations where different industries/domains end up developing similar tools in different

Sure, blowing something up can be a great teacher. At two previous jobs, I crashed prod on my first day there (and then fixed that bug, and made the sites much more resilient by the time I left). But lol, it would've also been fine if

Why does it have to be either "say nothing and let them break production" OR "suddenly I have an apprentice"... can't it just be a simple comment in the PR, as a peer developer? "Hey, I think this will break if

If I understand you right, I think all the Jetbrains IDEs do this. They actually analyze code (not just syntax) and point out various errors in logic, scope, references, parameters, etc.

Have you explored the AST (abstract syntax tree) tools yet, like Mdast and the related remark and micromark? https://github.com/syntax-tree/mdast-util-from-markdown It might work better if you parse it into an intermed

In its heyday, Netscape actually made a great paid browser. And Opera too. Even Trident derivatives like Netcaptor were excellent paid browsers. It was a good business model for users and devs alike, despite being closed source, because it

Right idea, but it doesn't really seem usable right now. It crashed six times on me in an hour, including twice when I was trying to submit a bug report about the crashes. Multiple other users are reporting similar issues. Growing pain

Most non-profits are accountable to somebody, usually whoever grants them money. In this case Google just pays Mozilla oodles of cash every year as cheap insurance against monopoly regulations and doesn't really care what they do. The

I don't even want that. I just want Chrome with adblock :( If Google would just let me pay for Chrome and Search without ads, the way YouTube does, I'd happily pay for both. They can still have my data as long as they don't s

Does anyone have an estimate how much work it is to make a Webkit-based browser like Kagi's Orion, but open-source? Not the rendering engine, but the browser around it? Is it something a small team could conceivably do if you placed r

by solardev 2y ago
I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that Firefox is worse today than it was 15 years ago, and it's because Mozilla pivoted into some sort of failed think tank rather than a browser maker. It's not pitchforking, it&

Google for now, but trying to switch to Kagi. Between Google.com's SEO and Gemini spam and Manifestv2, I'm really fed up with Google. And ChatGPT is way more useful day to day anyway.

It's in a pre-alpha state and nowhere near ready yet :(

by solardev 2y ago
Actually, I just tried it for a bit, but I can't recommend this right now. It crashed several times in the hour I was using it. Very unstable, along with a host of other bugs. Seems like an early alpha/beta.

by solardev 2y ago
Yes. Webkit-based but closed source for now. And terribly unstable... I tried it for an hour just now and it crashed 5-6 times for me, including while I was filling out a bug report, lol.
