Don’t think I’ve ever seen an alternative to ngrok that includes their “Inspection Interface” - that is such a useful feature for debugging.

I'm interested in learning a new language over the summer. Mostly for the fun and challenge of it.To give some context:Most of my time is spent building interesting apps with Ruby on Rails.Over the last few years I've tried a raft of JS-frameworks including Angular, Vue, React and some NodeJS things.I've also experimented with Elixir/Phoenix.Anyway, I'm curious what people here would recommend...
Re:Speed boost achievement unlocked on Docker Desktop 4.6 for Mac
on Thursday March 17, 2022 @05:32PM (#30716118)
This is exactly how we configure our development environments after trying all sorts of different combinations.
We find it significantly faster to do macOS + Linux VM + Docker than macOS + Docker for Mac. We're using the Remote Containers plugin in VSCode.
I just tried Docker for Mac 4.6.0 and it is still slower than the above setup - though I think this might be down to bind vs. volume mounts.

Re:Show HN: PCSS = syntactic sweetener for CSS

Perhaps you could explain what the advantages are of writing CSS using PCSS. I couldn't quite tell from the README how it might improve the workflow - curious to hear more...
