How does one handle an upgrade to mutators? If a client is running old code then the operation will differ to the server. Obvious answer would be to version them independently: `increment_v1`, `increment_v2`, but wondering if there is a better answer?

Has anyone built a mobile app on top of SQLite that can work offline, but then sync to a server when it gets connectivity? It feels like this could be built with a similar approach to this distributed SQLite, you'd "just" need more robust conflict handling.

Looks great! I've currently use https://contexts.co/ but might switch over for the thumbnails

This also addresses an issue when you transition from black to transparent to emulate a shadow, and end up with a "cliff" where the gradient abruptly changes. You can see this in the tool when you transition from black to white with LRGB. Any of the other color spaces avoid it. Very cool!

Although it technically has cross platform GUI, Flutter has actually reimplemented all the native OS widgets. As soon as the OS changes some look and feel your app will look out of date.

Do you know what effect those changes have in the body?

We currently use wasm on the Adobe XD team for rendering shared prototypes in the browser. It allows us to share C++ rendering code across desktop and web and has been a massive success for us.

The browser support is good enough for our customer base, as it works across all operating systems and mobile devices, and we can fall back for asm.js for IE11.

You might be interested in a tool I wrote to serve .har files called server-replay: https://github.com/Stuk/server-replay

It also allows you to overlay local files, so you can change code while reusing server responses.

Thanks for mentioning Arq, that looks really useful. What are the cons you've found?

"atom" probably includes searches for the particle, not just the editor, so not really fair comparison.

Also "vs code" trends higher than "visual studio code", so take all of these results with a pinch of salt.

System Preferences > Keyboard > Customize Touch Bar (at bottom). Drag off buttons you don't want, drag on buttons you do.

Not 5 seconds, but probably less than a minute.

It's in the article:

"These switches to generic medical and psychotropic medications have from time to time caused an increase in reported adverse events, and this is likely to be due to negative attitudes towards generic medicines rather than pharmacological differences between the branded and generic versions of the medication.

This phenomenon is known as the nocebo effect"

Flutter looked great, until I realised that they were re-implementing all the OS controls themselves. For example: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/1db5d66932b873e17c8c...

This is the kind of thing that leads to an "uncanny valley" app, where things feel slightly off, or they look good until the OS changes something and Flutter doesn't keep up.

Interesting project!

Is there a writeup on how you architected the project to share 99% of code? I'd be really interested in reading that! From a skim it looks like React + React Native.
