Hi everyone,

Kenneth here. As a loyal Chrome user, I was frustrated that one of Apple's most loved features from Safari and iOS wasn't available in Chrome. So, I built Faktor—a tool that grabs 2FA security codes from your iPhone and autofills them in Google Chrome on your Mac.

Faktor is a native macOS app with a small Chrome extension, and once you install Faktor its easy to forget that this functionality isn't native to Chrome.

Enjoy!

Very cool usage of LLMs! Are you planning to build a business around this? Open source?

If you are doing web development have a look at http://replay.io
I built http://inspect.dev, a new developer tool for macOS, Linux, and Windows to inspect and debug your mobile web apps and websites on iOS devices.

Crossed $1000+ MRR pretty quickly and it's been growing organically since.

Hi, Kenneth here from Stripe. I'd love to chat with you about the problems you have with webhooks. How can I best reach you? My email is [email protected]
This is a new pure JavaScript implementation. No native dependencies. See more on https://inspect.dev/why
:wave Kenneth here. Linux support is on the roadmap, and can be supported via https://libimobiledevice.org/ but not all functionality might be possible, as libimobiledevice isn't 100% on pair with Apple's own driver that's provided via iTunes on MacOS and Windows.

Would love to get some help testing this as I'm not a Linux user myself. Shoot me an email at [email protected] if you are interested!

Hi! Kenneth, the creator here. Inspect have several advantages over Safari Inspector. I've outlined them here: https://inspect.dev/why

Re:VSCode silently opts you in to data collection on Monday October 15, 2018 @02:57PM (#18222593)
Hi It's Kenneth from VS Code.

We have looked into this, and haven't found an intentional change that should change your opt-out settings. This shouldn't happen.

We have two theories:

1) Your settings file was deleted, which means that you would have lost all of your settings, and not just the telemetry setting. This can happen if the AppData or ~/Library/Application Support was cleaned up.

2) One of your installed extensions updated the settings either accidentally or on purpose. This would require further debugging, and a list of your installed extensions.

To help debug this further, it would be great help if you could open an issue on Github, https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/, with more details about your OS, VS Code version and installed extensions, so we can figure out what happened.

Thanks!

Hi, I'm Kenneth, PM on VS Code. To clarify here: @code is written in TypeScript and is an Electron app. Not React Native. We don't have plans on moving away from Electron in any near future.
Working for Microsoft, and moved to Seattle, WA last year, after having lived in Vancouver, BC for about 1.5 year.

I can confirm this trend for several reasons:

1) The pay gap is real. Many get about a 40% pay increase by moving 3 hours down south. It's significant.

2) Taxes are aprox 10% lower in Seattle. Makes a difference too.

3) Rent-net-pay-ratio is about the same for Vancouver/Seattle

4) For a tech worker the health care is both places privately insured and the same.

Personally, I miss Vancouver. The city is awesome, and life quality is better, but financially it's simply not attractive enough.

With $10.4 billion, that would make it the annual return on his investments.

Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) is a more advanced API, and I've been leading an effort on getting multiple browsers to look at CDP under https://remotedebug.org

I doubt they use Bluetooth Mesh, but more like using BLE - Bluetooth Low Energy.
