Vienna will support older MacOS releases for longer. Our development has been slow the past couple of years due to maintainers having big life changes. Things are about to pick up so keep an eye out!

I tried to find a site with more examples than the linked post, and I think https://guis.org/macos/icons/ is a pretty good overview for those who may be interested.

It's probably not quite the same as you describe but have you tried Good Fortune Roast Duck House? It used to be so good and melt in your mouth.

I'll have a go at building it and if I'm successful I'll let you know. I honestly thought a proper fork would have started by now but that is not the case.

Honest question - I've been using Ivory for the past week but it doesn't seem to do anything that Metatext or the Mastodon app didn't already do. What's so fantastic about Ivory? I feel like I'm missing something because everyone speaks so highly of Ivory.

Thanks!

It isn't working for me, and strangely enough the signal Twitter account has no mention of the outage. Their status page also claims everything is operational.

At least there is an in app notification about technical difficulties but it would be nice to see from an official source if it is an isolated incident or not.

I have this exact printer and I love it. Just bought another toner cartridge (non-Genuine) for it.

I'm one of the current Vienna devs and I want to say it makes me happy seeing that people still enjoy using it.

We have some new updates planned over the next few months and hopefully you (and the parent comments) enjoy them!

New comment by josh64 in "From Rust to TypeScript"

josh64 — Sat, 12 Sep 2020 21:51:22 +0000

I think because the return type hasn't been specified for the function, so it is inferring the return type from the return statement (which means it is "correct").

Don't forget JavaScript (and therefore typescript) will let you concatenate a lot of random types together without error.

Not the original commenter but at my place we generally don't clean ours... and they are usually not soiled. Making sure we change out the straw in the nesting box regularly helps a lot.

I also crack the egg on a flat surface so the shell doesnt get pushed inwards.

We're getting the same issue in our RSS reader (Vienna RSS). Not sure how to deal with it currently.

Vienna developer here: Thanks for the suggestion - I’ll work on fixing the website this weekend.

We had some issues with Wordpress a year ago and I haven’t got around to finishing the site.
