Ask HN: Can I still create iOS apps for iPad Mini 1?

IbJacked — Sat, 31 Dec 2022 13:37:33 +0000

I have several iPad app ideas I want to play with developing, but all I have is a 1st gen iPad Mini. Are modern frameworks like Dioxus or React Native able to target such an old device for simple apps?

Or am I stuck having to find a really fast lightweight web framework and run a web app?

Looks pretty slick, I'll give it try when I get home.

I'll go ahead and ask, since I'm probably not the only one thinking it: will there be a MySQL version? ;)

EDIT: oh, and I guess the name wouldn't be very fitting for a MySQL cli...

And doing so would obviously color how the report is perceived.

That was the exact same thing I thought after reading the title.

There seems to be a lot of love for these things. It's hard to give up the 4-core xeon and the lower price of the TS140, definitely food for thought. Thanks!

Edit: Based on the reviews, it looks like it has previously been on sale for as little as $229 after rebates, which would make it a much easier choice than the current $399.

Thanks! I've seen a few comments that also mention the Proliants, people seem pretty satisfied with them. And it might not be too slow, my current Plex server is my 2010 MacBook Pro.

Thanks, but I was hoping to get a feel for what HN crowd might be using, to see if there are some systems that keep coming up.

Ask HN: What's your favorite small server?

I'm replacing an old system that resembles Frankenstein's monster, one that I have been using as a FreeNAS server off and on for a few years.

I want to modernize the system, and so far my top pick is a Lenovo ThinkServer TS140 70A4001LUX which nets me a system using ECC memory and 4 drive bays (OS would boot off an internal usb connector). The drive bays are not hot-swappable, and a bit awkward, but I can live with that. All for only about $350.

I'm looking for a home FreeNAS box, something with ECC memory, minimum of 4 drive bays (more and hot swappable would be nice-to-haves), quiet operation, enough power to transcode video on demand when using Plex media server.

What are your favorites?

Unfortunately, the RAM on the new models is soldered on. Someone above said the drive is soldered, too, but I can't confirm that.

I wouldn't assume that at all. They say "a list of the applications and programs", not "program listing...". In this case, it reads to me as just that, a list, such as Word xx.xx, Outlook xx.xx, girlfriend 2.0, ms-dos 5.5, etc.

That should be "--only-upgrade", but ya, that's what I did.

Perhaps "confounding". That sounds right to me.

So... a landing page that tells me nothing, with nothing but links to the app store. Going against my usual behavior, I click the link to the app store and I get two useless screenshots and a description of "You’re going to like me."

I think I'm getting old, because I just don't get it.

Also worth checking out is dokku-alt (https://github.com/dokku-alt/dokku-alt), a pretty active fork of dokku with added features.

Which one is "they" to you?

Nowhere near half of all households have a Home Depot card. There were 56M "payment cards" compromised. That would be Visa, Mastercard, and whatever other cards they accept. "Payment card" sounds awkward to me, but with so many people using debit cards, they can't say "56M credit cards."

IbJacked — Wed, 17 Sep 2014 18:19:15 +0000

I also use Ghostery and Adblock Plus, QuickJS (provides a toolbar button + hot-key for toggling JS support), and enabled "click to activate plugins".

I've tried not blocking, but on my 4 yr old MBP (Core 2 Duo) all the beacons, social buttons, flash ads, etc. simply slow my browser down to the point of frustration, particularly when scrolling.

Much of it is Firefox's fault though, as Safari scrolls smoothly on most of the sites that give me trouble in Firefox. I'm just not willing to give up my tagged bookmarks (even though I would like to, as now the bookmark syncing has become slow enough to make scrolling while syncing nearly unbearable... I might have a bookmark addiction;).

It'd be cool if it could store the repo's files in localstorage so I could load it up before I get on a plane, or if I'm saving battery life by disabling the radios. Perhaps a totally different use case than your target audience, I don't know.

There's an iOS App named NapCat that will pull down repos so you can browse the code at your leisure. Doesn't let you view commits and the file diffs, like you can with Disco.

In my mind: Disco for keeping up with what's happening and what files they happened to; NapCat for reading source for those times when the pleasure of a little light reading is in order :)

I can't answer your question specifically, but confreaks.com has an event page for DjangoCon, so hopefully it will pop up on there.
