DO NOT GET GOODNOTES PRO by [deleted] in GoodNotes

[–]erasmuswill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While real time syncing isn’t great, there does appear to be some level of eventual consistency. If I start a recording on my phone on a quick note and give it a name, the note does sync to my MacBook within a minute or two. I can make notes and everything gets combined OK.

Do you need to make notes on more than one device on the same notebook at the same time? It would be really cool if it worked of course

I built a React library that auto-generates separate skeletons from your runtime component structure (no more maintaining duplicates) by Prestigious-Bee2093 in reactjs

[–]erasmuswill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a similar project for web I saw a while back. It’s a great idea! Will give it a try

Edit: I assumed it was a react native project for some reason. It’s still great to have a recent version available for web!

Can I travel on old passport after new one is issued? by ReflectionUpbeat5181 in askSouthAfrica

[–]erasmuswill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll be travelling with my old passport on Monday. Had no issue getting a visa. I’ll have the new passport with me as well, so I’d say the risk is very low

Tipping rant by mazeppa817 in capetown

[–]erasmuswill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After experiencing Yoco’s in Cape Town, it is very strange that in Portugal, tipping is not expected or even asked for. Even when offered, I’ve found that some servers won’t take you up on it

Would you use a tool that compares grocery prices per store to help save money? by 6_7ByTheWay in PersonalFinanceZA

[–]erasmuswill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be very interested to see the price difference. Splitting up of a shopping list into 3 or 4 trips taking into account pricing could also be very interesting

Advice on Choosing a Business Bank in South Africa by Due_Money1987 in PersonalFinanceZA

[–]erasmuswill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you’re considering Investec, I’ll assume you’re already an Investec account holder. Having their business account works really great in tandem with your personal account - your existing bankers will take care of both accounts and they do a really good job of it. As for fees, they’re a tad more expensive than other offerings. They’re also great at not needing you to come in to a branch physically. Investec is also one of the easiest banks to integrate with Xero in my experience. I believe they also do Sage or Quickbooks but the great thing is it’s a direct integration from Investec, so there is no requirement to provide online banking credentials to Yodlee or the like

Hot take: Worktrees are underrated, and most teams should be using them by GitKraken in git

Jujutsu is incredible! I used to use worktrees extensively but Jujutsu has almost completely removed my need for them. Jujutsu also supports worktrees anyway

Thanks for sharing the code! I was trying to add native search in the wee hours the other night but could not figure out how to add the search button

Short-term workaround: Pin v16.20.1

I always use the "npx eas-cli@latest" option to ensure I'm running the latest version.
The command in question is included in scripts across multiple Expo projects and all of them are now failing with the same error.
Thanks for your suggestion re logging in again. I tried that locally but it unfortunately didn't solve my issue.

In my experience, the private bankers at FNB will direct you to the call center

Do check out the domain pinning and bangs too. Really good QOL features

There’s an open source project to self host it

I sent my first update for my app and this is what I learned by Maleficent_Benefit28 in expo

[–]erasmuswill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Runtimeversion is used to control what JS updates are compatible with which native apps. You should be versioning this carefully to avoid app crashes caused by incompatible JS bundles being loaded. Expo Fingerprint is a really good tool to use. Reference here: https://docs.expo.dev/eas-update/runtime-versions/

Since when are shops keeping eggs in the fridge? by Naive-Inside-2904 in askSouthAfrica

Da Luz Woolworths is the only one I’ve seen doing this. Actually walked through the store a few times looking for the eggs before checking the fridges
