robertwt7··on Java in the Browser
there's a price for this??

I'm not sure what this is by looking at their homepage, is this similar to WASM?

also who would pay to develop something for the web anymore?

robertwt7··on Uno platform: Build single-codebase applications across all platforms
Have a look at this: https://github.com/dotnet/maui/issues/109

if you have been following bugs in xamarin you would have known. It's good that you haven't encounter any that's blocking, but for those who did it's very frustrating

it seems like it's catching up to MAUI as well, look at the number of issues that's growing for the past 4 months...

robertwt7··on Uno platform: Build single-codebase applications across all platforms
MAUI looks promising. I just hope that microsoft address the crazy anount of bugs that xamarin had. To this day I’m still not sure if they’re lack of resource or prioritisation for xamarin.
robertwt7··on Why React Re-Renders
The blog is sooo good! I enjoyed every single paragraph when reading it.

If you're confused about the last part where it mentioned where useMemo and useCallback can help when passing props, I completely understand after reading Kent C Dodds block and Dan Abramov.

Further, I learned a lot by taking interactive course from Dan Abramov in https://justjavascript.com

Highly recommended! good read!!

robertwt7··on Docker Compose best practices for dev and prod
huh weird, I still remember back then reading that docker-compose was not supposed to be used in production somewhere? However upon reading docker-compose official docs now they actually mention how to use in production.. of course because of that I had to learn kubernetes for months (no regret), however if docker-compose is suggested for production back then, I would have used it just for the speed of deployment
robertwt7··on Ask HN: Where to meet people who are interested in building a company together?
I've found one from https://startupschool.org, built a project together (i am the tech one), didn't continue finally because he wanted to continue with his startup and I don't feel like I can code and commit my time further.

Weird experience, I would love to have another co-founder who can code together or even work together in something tbh. I guess having someone who can code with you together makes it more fun? Rather than having a product guy waiting for you to code

robertwt7··on CEO's LinkedIn crying selfie about layoffs met with backlash
So cringe. I don’t understand how people want to post this on LinkedIn
robertwt7··on Astro 1.0 – a web framework for building fast, content-focused websites
I feel you, tbh as someone who has NextJS as my main tools, it's hard enough to choose Remix or Redwood as a starter project, when I needed backend it's either Django or Spring boot from time to time.

Not really sure when to play around with these new frameworks if it's not giving me enough reason to switch, especially since they're not adopted in big tech companies it makes it harder to justify the usage when I want to build somethjing

robertwt7··on Google’s video chat merger begins: Now there are two “Google Meet” apps
I really don't understand the politics inside. as the CEO (Sundar or Larry), don't they see this happening at all? it's now a joke, they should have stopped it and unify the team instead of fighting over whose product is more relevant as the same company lol

maybe they just have too many resources

robertwt7··on Malicious code added to 35k GitHub repos, leaking user environments
how is this affecting people if the clone does not open PRs to the original one?

so this will send data to the hacker's network if we clone and build the wrong repo right?

robertwt7··on I still love PHP and JavaScript
PHP was my first backend language when I deployed my first project on the web. So easy to deploy and easy to enter.

I still love laravel until now, would choose it again sometimes just to have fun with it. However it's just never used in big companies so I always end up with python or java (not even c# around here except MSFT lol)

robertwt7··on Assassin’s Creed Liberation delisted, unplayable even to owners starting Sept 1
can't they be sued for this? don't we all own our rights once we bought it? unless if it is listed somewhere in steam's terms and agreements when we purchase the game.

If so, then this is totally messed up, knowing that I have 300+ games on steam that can be removed one day without my consent. Even after I purchase it with my own money. Insane

robertwt7··on SpaceVim 2.0
SpaceVim has thought me a lot of stuff that I didn’t know it could have been done with vim

it has made me fall in love with vim much more than before. Thanks to the dev for putting so much effort on this.

Amazing project and maintainer. Donated to help the project!

robertwt7··on Pirate Library Mirror: Preserving 7TB of books (that are not in Libgen)
I would love to contribute on seeding the torrents. However what happens when there are new books in z-lib? Is this only 1 time mirror? How do we expand the collection after a certain amount of time.
robertwt7··on SwiftUI in 2022
Looking at the documentation, it’s just scary to jump in and put most of your effort on swiftUI
robertwt7··on Kindle, ePub, and Amazon’s love of reinventing wheels
I just googled Onyx. Seems good! But the price tag is expensive though.. that’s almost as pricey as ipad air for an ebook reader :/
robertwt7··on Kindle, ePub, and Amazon’s love of reinventing wheels
I have kindle, but it's so hard for me to read programming books that I have in PDF (because it's too small). I end up having to read them on the laptop / PC. I'm even thinking to get an iPad because of the amount of programming books I have in pdf and want to read. Anyone is having the same issue?
robertwt7··on Gimp 3 Beta Released
Gimp is amazing, I'm always curious, how does GNU project keep maintaining all of these high quality software for free? do they get a lot of money from donation? where do the fund comes from to feed the developers who maintain all of these?

regardless, congrats for the release! I wish them all the luck and thanks for supporting the software community

robertwt7··on Open Source Calendly Alternative
Thanks for the feedback, I will get it done by this week especially the screenshot.
robertwt7··on Open Source Calendly Alternative
> I would reduce the font-weight of the hero text on the front page ("Meetsy takes two calendars..."). Unnecessarily bold text is a common pet peeve of mine.

No worries, i'll take this into account tonight as well.

I will also update with a screenshot, do you think a screenshot of the invitee's page where they can accept the invite would be good enough? I actually have a video I made (not professionally, just a screen recording) to show google for the OAuth spec but I have to make it better.

> Can I ask if you're trying to monetize this service anywhere? If not, would you mind making it a bit more clear how to run it on the Github page (e.g. with a compose.yml)?

At the moment I'm not trying to monetize it as it is just for fun side project, but if it gain a lot of traction probably I will just to cover the server cost. Either way it will always be open source and you can self host. compose.yml exist in the api/ folder (this is how i deploy it), front end was deployed with vercel so don't need any of that.

robertwt7··on Open Source Calendly Alternative
Which page gives you this error sorry? I think vercel was deploying ytd and it’s okay now for me
robertwt7··on Open Source Calendly Alternative
That’ll be in the next feature I guess. I think the main idea initially was to show people their own events before booking available times and before invitee accept the invite too. It’s a simple feature that I found missing from calendly

However I see the point where people might not have google account (or other services)

robertwt7··on Open Source Calendly Alternative
Hi there! You mean a screenshot at the homepage to show how it looks as the invitee? Or in the github page?

Would love to update it straightaway

robertwt7··on Open Source Calendly Alternative
Hello, I am the dev here!

When you have an open source project, you always know what we do with your data, which is very important nowadays. Also apart from that we have small feature that aim to improve user experience when creating or accepting invite. In this case we show their own events in calendar so they have an overview of what are they doing during the week.

It’s a fun project, also I open sourced the infrastructure part so you can self host too.

I think others has add more good points too

robertwt7··on Open Source Calendly Alternative
Yeah.. the original idea is to show user (both inviter and invitee) their events as well when choosing the time. Which is not possible in calendly. But I guess that’s another drawback!
robertwt7··on PowerToys – open-source Windows utilities
What’s the difference between alfred and spotlight? I always yse spotlight for launcher and app switching and it’s great
robertwt7··on Four Eras of JavaScript Frameworks
There’s a redwoodjs as well for the fullstack which I feel like using laravel / django when using it. Battery included framework
robertwt7··on The best engineering interview question I've ever gotten
did you finally got accepted in the company? curious..
robertwt7··on Automate Public Certificates Lifecycle Management via RFC 8555 (ACME)
so it's only free for GCP customers..
robertwt7··on Switching from pyenv, rbenv, goenv and nvm to asdf
