@davidgomes @teej_dv Great to hear! This is the end-state for handling permissions. It should become the default, as soon as you have an internal validation suite that says it's "safe enough".

@reactnative Hermes v1 is a big deal. 2x speed improvement in JSON parsing, not to mention the compiler. Huge props to @tmikov and the team for their hard work on this.

@grabbou @mrousavy Nitro Image is D-tier at image display and memory use. The downsampling needs improvement (looks like nearest neighbor?) and it's as bad as RN. But A-tier cleanup! https://t.co/h5ZCC2gUuf

Turns out you can save 75% on memory use in a React Native apps. Expo Image vs React Native Image: https://t.co/ILAWXnDBEL
What other libraries are worth comparing these days?

[Seph Soliman @sephdk]

@quaccauq You got it exactly right! The memory use is just the tip of the iceberg. FPS drops are what triggered this investigation originally.

@lexfridman One of the besties from the All-In podcast and Jon Stewart.

@realGeorgeHotz @striedinger Yes. Stay that way. “how hard can it be” has been some of my best (and worst) decisions as well. It keeps you explorative

Exciting news! Proud to be part of the new Tesla Electric service, helping communities transition to sustainable energy with Powerwall and Solar. Real-time tracking and potential to earn credits on electricity bills.

@MrX51422244 @DeepMind It uses the same model across all tasks, meaning it's "actual" generalized learning. One can argue exactly how generalized it is / how good it is, but it does seem to generalize to some extent

@sama @elonmusk Server reply can be optimized. Replies are getting more than doubled in size. You can effectively move that client side. Should save some in CPU and traffic costs.

@WixEng Wix engineering reminds me of everything that’s good about Facebook engineering: They do hard work to improve the fundamentals. They seem to be guided by the same excellent high standard that the @reactjs engineering team is. I have nothing but respect. Kudos.

[Seph Soliman @sephdk]

💯! Be concise, be helpful.

[Vitaly Friedman 🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈 @vitalyf]

Wow, that’s impressive! The Wix team has edited 7643 error messages to design clear, helpful, respectful and inclusive messaging and error handling. https://t.co/IjlxetDnJg #ux #design

@_pauliusd Congratulations my friend 🤍💚

@elonmusk @Twitter About 3% here but it’s likely to increase with the follower size a person has. Bots will have to target people with high influence to maximize their reach during their potential short life.

@jensimmons Thank you to the team, Jen. I see it was fixed in 15.4!
> WebKit fixed a bug with the interpolation between colors with alpha transparency — improving gradient support

[Seph Soliman @sephdk]

@jensimmons Safari rarely see updates hence the hate. But constructively: rgba gradients: rgb(255, 0, 0, 1) -> rgb(255, 0, 0, 0) behaves weirdly because alpha and color is expected to transition but doesn’t. Google “safari css alpha gradient” and you’ll see examples for Safari vs. others

[Seph Soliman @sephdk]

@jensimmons The address bar suggestions can’t easily be navigated by keyboard because it will randomly reset to the top item as you go down the list. It’s a simple bug but it’s hugely frustrating. The bug has existed for years.

[Seph Soliman @sephdk]

@jensimmons This is a daily occurrence and I have to switch to Chrome for development every time I see it. I don’t know the reason but other browsers with web inspectors don’t have this issue I think. This is from https://t.co/CNecLihQHX

[Seph Soliman @sephdk]

@frankdejonge Agreed, except I’d add a word in there: […] [Disgruntled p]eople don’t often quit companies […]. People often quit for other mundane reasons like compensation and location.

@tbhdkx Selvangivelsen. Jeg bor i USA og hold kæft Danmark er langt foran på IT fronten. Også ting du ikke tænker på: Kørekort, sygesikring, offentlig kommunikation og din identitet. Herovre fungerer disse ting ikke pålideligt.
