Native apps vs web apps. For some things they say, "native app for better security." It depends upon whether you trust the app creators more than the browser creators (I trust #Firefox). It's really all a lark, though; how many banks do you know who insist you use the app over the web thing? Only for mobile deposit with your phone camera, right? Unless there are offline needs, or maybe hardware integration for games, the reasons for a native app can be counted on one hand. My 2¢.

Obscure error with a library when updating an old project. Search it and behold! The exact error! Oh, that was a post by me, 5 years ago. Joy! The solution still works!

That was an unexpected emotional roller-coaster.

Very cool cast! It was fun recognizing people by their voices while I did lunch with the family. "Ah, that's David Nolan . And Lamduh!"

@humanetech@mastodon.social When I have to use Zoom a couple times a week, I strictly use it from within my FireFox to avoid this.

My Dell laptop has a power cord/port, and it can also be charged by the USBC dock. The BIOS doesn't offer me the ability to turn off USB charging, though, so my low-power phone charger barely manages to charge the computer and power the HDMI connections and peripherals. I hoped the BIOS had the option, but basically I want to be able to say, "don't charge from the USBC when you are also charged in to the power port." Is that too much to ask?

I found out about the hardware limit to the number of external screens you can setup. Today I also learned that there is, apparently, a resolution limit too. The TV I was connecting was defaulting to a super-high res and breaking the setup. When I got it to the res I really wanted, everything was better.

To whom it may concern: maybe I am just behind the curve, but if you are getting "reagent/render is deprecated" warnings in your #ClojureScript project, the answer is that the function moved to reflect changes in the React.JS project. Now it's reagent.dom/render

I spent hours doing a bisection to figure out why something failing to build with an obscure error. Finally discovered that it is because of the ORDER of the dependency within my project.clj; it needed to nearer the end of the list of deps. This might be the blow I need to switch to deps.edn.

This was fun. I've never had reason to look in to bit operations in Clojure.

@kelvinmai I came up with this when I discovered the `bit-xor` core function. You can remove 3 or 4 lines if you don't need to take collections, and it can be adapted to any coll you want (eg maps). Fun!
