I couldn't agree more. Yes there is some utility to things like Electronc and React Native. They are great for small startups that don't have the money to hire a team for each platform. Or they just need to get something that they can demo to investors. But really when it comes down to it, they should take some money and hire some people that can write the app natively.

Yeah they evacuated the entire town from what I heard. So there is no danger to any lives. I'm pretty sure the city has accepted that as long as no one dies, that everything else can burn.

I've been a software engineer for nearly 20 years now, and you know what I do when I hav the time? I blow glass. Honestly I enjoyed writing code much more when I was a teen and in college in my free time, but now that I do it 40 hours a week I need something else. Sure I have some programming projects I do outside of work. But they are needed for something else I help run. Besides now that I'm nearly 40, I have a house and family to look after. I barely have time to take care of those with my full time job.

About 15 years ago I noticed most devs w/ an online presence invariably had a side hobby they were quite passionate about - more often than not it was photography w/ thousands of photos on Flikr, esp. for those who spoke at conferences and traveled a bit.

Found some article discussing the phenomena of those engaged in knowledge work having a hobby like this, acting as a relief valve when things get too intense - whether up-skilling in knowledge or pushing through a slog of a project, or perhaps they're in a somewhat Kafkaesque situation in regards to political structures at work/academia to avoid burnout situations.

Thanks for posting about this. I had no clue it existed and I have to say I agree I really like how elegant it looks.

Been working with it for the last year or so and the looks are alright but I just completely loathe the way tkinter is designed... it just feels so old.

The title on this is very misleading. It tested USB 3.2 not Thunderbolt. While they are the same port, they are not the same standard. My guess Apple doesn't support 10Gbps over USB 3.2, only thunderbolt.

I just tested on M1 Mac Studio with Thunderbolt 3 cable. With an external NVMe SSD in a TB4 enclosure, I got 2.8GBPs read/write.

This is the same title as the link.

My Partner is from Sonoma, and we have driven past this exact spot several times, and I honestly had no clue.

I've used the one on falstad.com many many times to design op-amp circuits quickly so I could see exactly changing each component would do.

Yeah it turns out that convenience and observability is more important than accuracy most of the time. Someone should tell the SPICE software vendors.

Technically I use three: Xcode, VS Code, and Atom

I'm happy to see WP finally supporting a DB other than MySQL. Maybe they'll support PostgreSQL as well.

While I'm glad to see them supporting a DB backend other than MySQL, I would also like to see a PostgreSQL backend get built.
