xenorplxx··on The state of JavaScript at the end of 2020
yeah, it sure is, but jQuery is more than enough anyways xD
xenorplxx··on Setting up a Raspberry Pi 4 home server
Running any server on wifi, even home plex instance, is not a great idea. It's a shame that rPi doesn't support PoE out of the box, that'd mean you could've only 1 cable connected, but it'd manage both network and power.
xenorplxx··on Microsoft's “Love” of Linux
Hm. MS started to support React, especially React Native project lately with their react-native-windows and AppCenter, but I honestly have no idea why would they do that instead of going with something like Electron, since they started to invest in Chromium and V8 anyway.
xenorplxx··on Slack’s new WYSIWYG input box is terrible
Exactly that. There was an interview with Basecamp founder here a few days ago and he highlighted that even now when the current version is Basecamp 3 they still maintain Basecamp 1 for clients who don't want to make the change.

Uhm.. there was this show, Revolution.. Just sayin' :D.
xenorplxx··on Catching bugs early with static analysis
alternative to typescript would be facebook's flow.js, which works with 'normal' JS code
xenorplxx··on To Revive the Mac, Apple Wants to Kill Electron
I did more research and it seems that they indeed have to add some kind of support.

From what I understand (although I didn't do much research) all you have to do is to use a new enough version of Xcode and that's it, so React Native doesn't really have to add any support. Ultimately, you build native apps anyway, all JS things are hidden inside.

Doesn't project Catalyst mean that we'd be able to build react-native iOS apps on macOS? :D That would be great, cause with MS support you can build react-native apps on Windows and even Xbox already, just Linux is still out of reach.

That's what I was looking for! Thanks :).

Yea, Microsoft seems to maintain react-native windows and they've officially announced their support.
xenorplxx··on macOS deprecating scripting language runtimes, including Python, Ruby, and Perl
I am using WSL more and more often nowadays and it's really good now, it works just like you'd expect Ubuntu (or other distro you choose) to work. The only thing I've had to do is turning off anti-virus real-time protection for linux subsystem.

Hell, not only VSC supports WSL. RubyMine can manage rbenv/rvm on WSL and more https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/RUBYDEV/How+to+add+...

xenorplxx··on Choosing Ruby on Rails for web development project in 2019
Oh, I've just noticed there's similar blog post on GitLab's blog now: https://about.gitlab.com/2019/05/28/upgrade-to-rails5/
xenorplxx··on Choosing Ruby on Rails for web development project in 2019
Well - you can visit their blog or even go to GitLab's repos and see the discussion there :). https://about.gitlab.com/blog/

I just realized I've never actually seen on-prem Github. GitLab on the other side is everywhere, especially thanks to the Community Edition. I've never seen really big deployments, but for instances with 100-200 people on board there was never any problem (and DevOps guys sit right next to me, so I would probably hear something).

As for the hosted solutions, IMO both GitLab.com and Github.com are pretty slow. I've just recently started using non-premise solutions of both and Github slowness is really taking it's toll on my patience.

You can definitely check out https://github.blog/2018-09-28-upgrading-github-from-rails-3... and other stories of big Rails upgrade to get a grasp of what has changed. As for new features, I'd just go with googling what's new in Rails 4/5.
