Looks nice and clean! Also feels very snappy in two tabs.

However, you're breaking the back button with your redirect to a unique room. Once in a room, pressing back will join a new room. History replace instead of push should be a better choice.

The current beta uses 7 processes with a total RAM of 139MB, so not as bad as some electron apps.

Old TS3 client uses 60MB.

I'm nearing the end of my CS master and I'm currently looking for a summer internship for 2021 (flexible regarding date/duration). I'm mostly interested in backend or embedded work, but in the end I'm very open for interesting projects of other fields as well.

In .NET we have a very similar tool for creating such packed binaries, dotnet-warp. I used it in one of my projects and quite liked it, since it's also quite easy to cross compile (cross-pack?) for the 3 major operating systems.

I like the general idea, your independent of the system wide framework version and it still has this "one-click" install procedure (dropping the binary in your path). However, I guess this is also the negativ Part. Users don't expect that a single binary extracts itself to somewhere --> uninstalling the binary leaves traces on the system.

Definitely looking forward to try it out for elixir, wondering how fast the erlang/elixir startup really is.

So I recently had the opportunity to use the new composition API, which will come in V3, in a project and want to share my two cents. The project had some limitations tho: no webpack and no typescript (so basically inline x-templates and pure browser JS).

Starting of with the composition API was great. No "this", easy reuse of logic via react-like "useXYZ" hooks and a general fast development. But two things really bugged me:

* You need to be really careful when passing around values and how you handle them. Destructure a Proxy object? You instantly lose reactivity. Not using a reference to proxy object in computed? Changes won't trigger the computed function. There is a lot of magic involved and while it may seem that it takes a lot of "thinking" from you, once it doesn't work you will have to rethink and maybe even ditch some of the underlying language's features.

* "ref" vs "reactive", where "ref" is used for primitives which need a proxy object wrapper and "reactive" is used for objects/arrays. Now, my primary problem is that you again have to use specific operations based on whether your using ref or reactive. A "ref" array can be easily set to an empty array via `arr.value = []`. If you try this with a "reactive" array, you will lose reactivity; you would have to use `arr.length = 0`.

TypeScript detects a lot of those pitfalls and, IMO, it is essential when using the composition API. Without it, there is too much invisible magic happening.

While kube-ps1 helps, remember that the context is set session-wide. So even if your last command says "development" in one terminal, another terminal may have modified the context by now.

So make sure to spam the return key before deleting stuff :D

IMO several reasons still exist for windows:

* Corp Policy * Gaming * Professional Tools (Photoshop etc.) * Ease of Use

I tried concepts like dual booting windows & linux, but in the end they often created a mental barrier ("Ugh, I could do some work but I would've to reboot"). With WSL2 and PowerToys I'm 90% happy. The missing 10% is a better window navigation via keyboard concept.

FancyZones is great! Already a huge enhancement to the normal windows snapping.

However, it only solves the window placing problem, not the window navigation problem. I would love to navigate with something like SUPER + LEFT/RIGHT, similar to i3. Currently the only possible way is to (CTRL)+ALT+TAB, which completely lacks window layout context and changes order depending on recent uses.

Does anyone want to share how they use the WSL2 & X-Server combination?

In my case, I'm mostly happy with the VSCode WSL2 integration. I keep all my projects on the linux fs and it is fast to work with. The only thing which annoys me is the window management in Windows. Too much Mouse movement and random ALT-TAB-ing.

I've never got i3 to work with a Windows x server on multiple displays with high dpi. X401 also only supports a single display.

While I generally agree that you should use the best tool for the job, for small and simple scripts I see nothing wrong with picking a language your comfortable with.

I wonder, why do you think python is a better alternative? I would understand bash since it is dependency free, but I don't see any advantage for python vs. nodejs
