Curious if you have a source on the x64 part I can read up more about? Mainly wondering if I buy an ARM Windows device today, is it just a matter of upgrading Windows somewhere down the line for x64 support? Or will I have to shell out for

That's fine, but FWIW if I had to strictly choose between the two, I too would also optimize for passion over expertise (of course it's never a binary choice in the real world). Though I think it has more to do with the kind of de

Had very similar experience with Cypress here as well. The command queuing API that abstracted away async operations sounded awesome in theory and I totally drank the coolaid. But once I started to write tests with it, I realized the model

I asked this elsewhere in the thread to a different user, but it seems relevant here as well: Curious how your service would handle a app that mandates non-email based MFA like SMS or TOTP. Additionally, what about testing a onboarding flow

That's fair and valid, but shifting your culture from one that's laser-focused on shipping features that work to one that cares about shipping polished features that delights users definitely gets exponentially harder as your comp

It sounds like you're running these tests on a schedule against production? If that's the case, curious how you might build a test that can handle something like a MFA token request on login.

Yes the app itself is closed sourced, but FWIW their MicroG fork is not: https://github.com/YTVanced/VancedMicroG Their stance on why they can't open source it sounds reasonable: https://github.com&#x2F

One thing important to note is for certain use cases of Optimizely like A/B testing, it's actually desirable to block rendering until it's initialized as otherwise you end up with a flash of the default variation that then ge

Yeah, I think a service like this might be very useful for quick prototyping and proving out an MVP thanks to the native es6 modules, but I personally wouldn't rely on it for anything critical. Coincidentally jspm.dev, a similar ES mod

I used to be a huge Valve fanboy, but throughout the years they've managed to burn away all of that goodwill through a combination of not building good games anymore (or at least not releasing them, as I learned in the article), and pi

I would say the biggest JavaScript inflicted pain when working with React is the lack of a notion of value equality in the default mutable collections. Coming from a ClojureScript background, it pains me to have to deal with all the idioms

An apology is a company's best shot at damage control after a PR disaster. A well crafted one has obvious benefits in that it might win some people back, as can be seen from the people defending Triplebyte in this very thread. Just bec
