Moving from average tariffs of less than 2% on trade between the USA and Europe to 15% under todayโ€™s deal will inevitably lead to inflation. Almost everything will become more expensive in both Europe and the USA, and we will all be worse off. The economic illiteracy in the White House is doing serious damage to the West."

In fact I know you do."

Rasmus Jarlov responds: "Of course. I am former minister of trade in Denmark and you are an anonymous Twitter profile. You probably know a lot more than me. For sure."

GitHub - expo/orbit: Accelerate your development workflow with one-click build launches and simulator management from your menu bar Accelerate your development workflow with one-click build launches and simulator management from your menu bar - expo/orbit

we do support web, the experience will be considerably better than if you tried to use it without expo! also on the macos side, the expo modules api is supported, along with certain modules in the sdk, and you can see an example of a macos app here: github.com/expo/orbit

every time i do a support inbox rotation @expo.dev, it still kind of surprises me how many people:
- forget their password, account name, and even what email that they signed up with
- lose their 2fa code
- have the owner of the org leave the company without transitioning it to anyone

LiveStore: Local-first data layer for high-performance appsArrowArrowArrowArrowLiveStore LiveStore is a state management framework based on SQLite and event-sourcing. Itโ€™s designed for demanding applications and based on years of research.

I've been hoping for years that someone would build an event sourcing engine for local-first apps, and now @schickling.dev has done it! Hooray! livestore.dev

Every 10-20 years, a breakthrough technology promises non-developers to finally create software without needing to hire programmers.

So far, every such technology resulted in the need for more devsโ€ฆ expert in this NEW technology (or knowing how to fix it up).

Every. Time.
