How is your experience with Yabai ? I just read about it but reluctant to try it . How stable is it ? Can we switch spaces with it ?

Hi phreak,

I am a react native developer as well. Can you answer some of my questions ?

* How was your experience in React Native (RN) when it comes to styling the components ? I find it very hard and sometimes confusing to have consistent styling between iOS and Android.

* I have no native iOS or Android experience. Can you suggest me how shall I approach learning native app development ?

* What resources did you selected to learn react native ?

* Do you think one can learn kotlin without learning Java first? Or do you think that Java knowledge is beneficial or necessary for learning kotlin effectively ?

I think learning to touch type is an unofficial prerequisite for learning vim. If you "peck & hunt" type and use vim on top of that, I think you'll get frustrated pretty quickly.

Thanks for the reply sir. I have one more question. I was very excited to use quantum, so ended up using developer edition. I am using it on my macOS High Sierra.

The battery usage and Energy impact that I observed from Activity Monitor application in macOS was very surprising.

Both parameters were quite high and the battery was draining very quickly. I don't have the screenshot. I tried searching for a solution like tinkering the about:config fields etc. but couldn't find any.

Hello Sir,

Pardon me if this is a silly question, but in the about:config page of Firefox Developer Edition the value for app.update.channel is aurora. But AFAIK, the aurora channel was stopped since April 18th of this month.
