Of course, I need Synergy to support my workstation multiplexing system described here https://t.co/efWJrzWKv0

I'm in for $75. The developer has Wayland and X11 experience (described in his comment in the issue), and will do the work if at least $2k is collected. If you use Synergy on Linux, contribute! Even if you are happy with X11 now, Wayland is the future.

Anyone waiting for Synergy to support Wayland? There's a bounty to get Wayland support in Barrier, a fork of the open source Synergy code. https://t.co/snfSxrIOrv

I have to admit I never understood the appeal of a “cloud IDE” (‘An IDE with the UX of a browser’ sounds… bad!) but this, this is great

WHOA 🤯 this makes a huge difference https://t.co/z1medjHBqa

Serious productivity boost for reading code on GitHub. 1️⃣. Go to any repo you are interested in on GitHub. 2️⃣. Replace "github" with "github1s" (one + s) in the browser address bar. 3️⃣. Enjoy browsing code like you would in VS Code. This is huge 🔥 https://t.co/FVZhxDIuBC

I follow a LOT of blogs and newsletters and some really smart people writing about really important stuff will just hang out ten thousand words without a single <h2> anywhere to be seen. Many such cases!

You know what would be awesome is an RSS and newsletter reader app that uses one of those summarized AIs to add headings to gigantic posts. Not eliding any content, just breaking it up.

Convincing all my homies to get split keyboards. Think of all the room your hands and arms will have with that keyboard split in two dude. All that space to relax. To chill. You can even put a track ball in the middle. Just something to consider, friend.

@fr_brennan I love this… You can do it for totally private hosts w/o a public web server too via DNS challenges :) e.g. my Synology NAS is https://t.co/FrjrRcosT1, only accessible on my network, and it gets a real Let’s Encrypt cert! Requires a DNS host with an API, I use Amazon route53.

This would work for anything: IRC servers, SMTP servers… Let their generosity be your gain. No need to buy expensive * SSL certificates.

Here's something cool: you can use @letsencrypt to make secure private FTP servers for free! First point the ftp subdomain to any IP you can run a webserver on :80 on. Use their `certbot` tool to get the SSL cert. Point IP back to FTP server. Use cert for FTP server! 🤓🧑‍💻💽

@ledbetterjoshau (To be clear, I'm not trying to denigrate these packages, I think they're doing the best they can without an Xcode/Android Studio API.)

@ledbetterjoshau Getting ionicons is another package installation example. The installation is different for every platform: https://t.co/DnJEeb1WFy And I hit an issue that required me to add them to an Xcode post-build step manually too. Life's tough when your tooling (Xcode) has no API.

@ledbetterjoshau I haven't had package upgrade problems, but keeping them in sync is definitely a problem for me. Stuff like an app icon requires manual work in Xcode/Android Studio, and if you forget, nothing is going to remind you 🙃

Also, my context is specific to me, of course. I'm not experienced writing mobile apps OR with React itself, so I'm learning them all at once. Someone with more React experience would probably roll their eyes, which is fine, I pay my mortgage keeping the backend up 💸

While we're wishing for things, I could just wish for an Xcode with a more programmatic interface that would allow for nicer integration for RN projects. Ok, that would be nice too :) but I kind of think a Catalyst for Android is more likely.

Another reason to wish for Swift over RN is the tooling would be better. Look at these install instructions! I think this has to do with integrating with Xcode, which is difficult. If I could just write cross platform apps in Xcode, I would! https://t.co/ZMq1nQPgsu

And by this, I am not meaning to complain about React Native, but to say that I'd be faster in Swift, which is more like what I'm used to (even though I'm not that familiar with Swift itself). It would be awesome to use Swift to write cross platform apps!

I had to try it out both ways, rewriting code until I determined that no, probably it shouldn't be a hook, but it should be called from hooks which wrap around react-query hooks. You can't call hooks conditionally (!) or from non-hooks. Getting it wrong early means rewriting code

One example of how these two things have impacted my project: I'm using react-native-sqlite-storage and react-query. I had to rewrite calls to my web API as hooks to use react-query. Now I want to add a local cache in SQLite. Should it be a hook?

React Native has been harder for me to build with than I thought. 1) hooks clash with how I’d otherwise do things, which has lead to a lot of rework on my current project. 2) stuff in RN is under-maintained compared to batteries-included ecosystems I’be used before (Python, .NET)

I looked at Xamarin.Forms, and still wonder if that would have been a better solution than RN given my preferences. It seemed like it had some drawbacks on iOS and especially for UI, but it’s possible I didn’t dig enough and would be happier there... maybe for my next project 🙃

In my case, this is because I prefer languages and frameworks that are opinionated and batteries-included. Cross platform mobile development doesn’t have anything very mature that ticks those boxes yet; if Swift - or anything - did, I’d be thrilled.

I'm not the target audience for this poll (only a tiny bit of Apple-native dev experience, years ago), but I can tell you with certainty that if I could use Swift to write cross-platform Android/iOS apps, I'd be learning it rather than React Native right now. https://t.co/jMVpScPYFI

Results! 84% of developers for ‘yes, we’d bring our apps to Android/Windows if you could do it with the iOS SDK’ https://t.co/vZ3oVJaY0S

@Jowjoso good

@mrled also WOW i see part of my room my opsec is ruined

Very happy to have finally fixed it

Another time I was on a Discord video call with @Jowjoso and I looked like abstract art half the time. https://t.co/BKhwzXxudJ

Also video and audio calls had very odd glitches. One time I was in a Discord voice chat with 2 other people, and I kept dropping until I moved to a different machine for Discord. (Fortunately I have a system that lets me do this easily https://t.co/BYmCuPadNi )

Whenever my machine would back up using Time Machine (for local backups) or Arq (for offsite backups to Wasabi), I wouldn't be able to browse the web. Aghhh

The performance problems were especially crazy-making because Activity Monitor/top, pmset -g thermlog, and trolling the logs in Console yielded NOTHING. No indication of what was wrong. I could watch my system sit at 25% CPU and my text editor could not keep up with my typing.

The driver got installed to /Library/Extensions/OWCDockChargingSupport.kext/ If you have an OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock, are having weird performance issues, and that kext isn't on your system, try installing the Dock Ejector. It Worked For Me (tm)

But what I missed was the little asterisk on that download page *For Mac — Includes USB charge support driver. The restart was (I assume) for this driver. Once it was installed it fixed all my problems right away! Omg I'm so relieved.

I talked to OWC support and they recommended the "Drive Ejector". I didn't need something to eject my drives for me, but I installed it. Required a reboot, gross. https://t.co/TtnIwoCJRZ

It wasn't _all the time_, though, which made it harder to figure out. Recently I realized I'd had this OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock for a couple of months. When I disconnected it, even if I was using the battery and switching from wired Ethernet to wifi, everything got much faster!

My machine was intermittently very slow, and I hadn't been able to figure out why. Everything felt slow - mouse stuttering, keyboard not keeping up with typing, web browsers slow, backups taking forever, CLI apps taking long time to respond.

I have an OWS Thunderbolt 3 Dock and a 2020 MacBook Pro (Intel). Discovered this past week a bunch of performance problems I was having were because I didn't have a driver that is installed by the "Dock Ejector" utility.

📊 iOS Developers: if Apple’s iOS SDK could deploy apps to Windows and Android directly, Catalyst-style, with ~all of Apple’s languages and frameworks, would you use it to bring your apps to those platforms?

Vercel would like to remind you that this is not recommended, so I wouldn't recommend this exact approach for something important. https://t.co/QusnXkwlpb

@vercel_support Hi Timothy, yeah I understand -- what I'm doing is not supported. This is just for a couple of little personal projects, so I'm ok with an unsupported hack. (Although if you really want to discourage this, you might want to put a disclaimer on https://t.co/voYvd6DM4m)

@fortysevenfx From the source, it looks like node-html-to-image does use puppeteer behind the scenes. That site looks really nice by the way.

@mrled Hi Micah, we don't recommend using puppeteer in your Serverless Functions. Vercel is perfect for your frontend and small Serverless Functions that help you get data from external services, but that of course doesn't mean it's not possible! -- Timothy

@mrled Not sure about the Vercel fit, but I used node-html-to-image to render my React-based og:images to JPG: https://t.co/KBRUTVOgT3 Result here: https://t.co/99EMuETADt
