One little thing I love about @BNZ is they let you pick what hold music to listen to, and you can select no music

Apple's loss in court is immediately opening up a whole new world for app developers. Entire business models were impossible under the old 30% regime. Look at this beautifully simply flow from Stripe! IAP might still have a place, but for many, taking payments on the web is 👌

why do people do this?

@YannisTzortzis @levelsio Modern ACs (like we have outside of America) have variable speed compressors, so they can scale up or down with load. Typical American ACs cannot, they're either on or off.

@bobbyg603 @theo I have experience with both, it really isn't. Never been rejected by Google, a couple dozen rejections from apple for the stupidest things. Plus you can side load apks on Android really easily.

Public Service Announcement that you should never install deep-equal into your project as it pulls in a whopping 50 dependencies!

@soychotic @TheRealSethDer1 async and concurrent are not really the same thing. waiting for a timeout? async, but not concurrent. spawning a bunch of threads to do some work, and blocking until they all finish? concurrent, but not async

@jambarree @AskYatharth That's not completely true. Electromigration can cause chips to dissipate more heat, leading to thermal or power throttling. That would only really be noticeable running the chip flat out for a while though, so I don't think it would have a noticeable effect on smartphones.

@oswaldspangled @indiranegi @Nuclearjunkie @pronounced_kyle Everything gets harder the higher frequency / smaller wavelength you go. E.g. lenses are opaque to EUV light, so all focusing needs to be done via curved mirrors

@WebReflection @wesbos @JosBraulio you mean to release the underlying buffer resource? the garbage collector will take care of that

@sebastienlorber @rniwa_dev Apple's ports = WebKit on Apple platforms, so Safari, embedded WebViews, etc. CF is CoreFoundation, an Apple OS API

@afonsolfm @hot_doggin_jon @levelsio The bug isn't in the app, it's in macOS itself.

@ryanflorence There's no reason why compilers cannot scale, especially with good caching. The problem is bundlers (and webpack especially) IMO.

Probably the best thing you'll see today.

In 2017, a group of developers hilariously competed for who could create worst volume control interface in the world.

@GergelyOrosz The CSS class being the same is most likely a symptom rather than the cause. Twitter uses React Native for Web, which renders styles using atomic CSS - one class per property. Components that set the same CSS property to the same value will get the same class applied.

@dan_abramov Sounds a bit like the (fantastic) Every Layout https://t.co/oYWFUy1tSP
