  Project mention: Coc completion pop up flickers hard | reddit.com/r/vim | 2021-04-18

  Alright. So I think, just like others have mentioned here, that it is a Windows issue. I would recommend you either keep using Vim with gvim, or you download Neovim and pick one of these front-ends. Neovide would be my personal recommendation.

  Project mention: Micro editor - clipboard xclip(?) issue | reddit.com/r/bashonubuntuonwindows | 2021-04-17

  I've been using the editor micro on ArchWSL. A few months ago I started having issues with micro not starting, or it seems that it may start, but it takes minutes for it to start. If I uninstall xclip it has fixed it, but not everytime. Every few weeks this happens and I will try various fixes and it usually resolves itself mysteriously.

  While reading, I was wondering if you know about or even benchmarked flatbuffers? https://google.github.io/flatbuffers/ I am very happy with it and it is blazing fast, since there is no real decode encode step but only read and write to memory. Here are the benchmarks: https://google.github.io/flatbuffers/flatbuffers_benchmarks....

  Project mention: Corrupt Signal DB issue crashing App and losing data | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-04-16

  There's a hacky way to make a backup of messages sent on IOS, if you sync messages to desktop client, because desktop client stores messages in a SQLite database. While encrypted, encryption key for the database is kept as plaintext in a JSON file. :)

  On Windows:

  1. Download "DB Browser for SQLite" https://sqlitebrowser.org/

  2. Unpack it and run "DB Browser for SQLCipher.exe".

  3. Open database, select "%APPDATA%\Signal\sql\db.sqlite".

  4. In the following dialog, select "Raw key" type and enter the encryption key stored in "%APPDATA%\Signal\config.json" into Password field (prefix it with 0x).

  5. Now you can work with the database, including exporting its contents to unencrypted SQLite, CSV and JSON.

  The process should be similar on other platforms.

• fyne

  16 12,835 9.9 Go

  Cross platform GUI in Go inspired by Material Design

  

  Project mention: Building a Configuration Generator for Mikrotiks Using Wails and React | dev.to | 2021-04-15

  Before attempting to build a solution in "Wails," I created a GUI using Fyne. Fyne was easy to build with, and I could make all of the desktop components using Go. Unfortunately, The legacy laptops I have to support don't have a recent graphics driver that would work with OpenGL, so I had to find another solution. Wails is that solution. Wails is a cross-platform desktop application framework that uses a web-view and web technologies to create a User Interface (UI). Now I can use React, the most popular framework for building UIs, and not rely on Go's fledgling GUI support. The fact that Wails uses mshtml, a win32 API that hasn't seen an update since Internet Explorer version 11 (IE11), was a feature in my case.

  Project mention: Cautionary tale: Nearly lost access to AWS account | reddit.com/r/aws | 2021-04-15

  AWS supports OATH TOTP so you don't even need a hardware authenticator. Specifically KeypassXC (and perhaps other Keypass forks) lets you set up virtual authenticators that generate OTP tokens for you and by copying the key database to the different keypassxc clients you can have many devices set up to generate that OTP. Never lose access to your OTP generator again.
