TIL: You can check which files are part of your TypeScript project by running `tsc -p tsconfig.json --showConfig` and inspecting the `file` property. The listis computed by the compiler from `include` and `exclude` configuration.

Nice! Canon is releasing a beta version of EOS Webcam Utility that allows you to use your camera as a high-quality webcam with your PC or Mac.

Unfortunately, I am long-time Nikon user 😐

TIL: there is an ANSI escape sequence for rendering clickable URLs in a terminal 😮 It's already supported by gnome-terminal and iTerm2 (among others), unfortunately not by Windows Terminal yet.

We are discussing how to improve the documentation for http://LoopBack.io. I really like Django's documentation system based on four quadrants (tutorials, how-to guides, reference, explanation).

TIL how to tell TypeScript about event parameters for events implemented in a class inheriting from Node.js core EventEmitter: "declare interface MyClass".

In my next 🎥LoopBack screencast, I am showing how to leverage the concept of Repository Base Class to share bits of data-access functionality between models. Enjoy!

Dnes jsem poprvé poslal balík přes @Zasilkovna (služba Mezi Námi). Až mě úplně zaskočilo, jak rychlé bylo podání zásilky - podstatné rychlejší než na poště. 💪

Our journey from a hacky monorepo setup to vanilla TypeScript Project References is coming to completion.

Next step: ensure all files linted by eslint are part of a TS project and get rid of `parserOptions.createDefaultProgram`

My ISP has finally enabled IPv6 support, yay 🎉But I have no idea how to configure IPv6 in my local network, my learning got stuck deep in IPv4 times.

Can you recommend me any good IPv6 tutorial for newbie network administrators?

ES6 class mixins in TypeScript: tsc cannot handle protected/ members when exporting declaration for an anonymous class. When you add a mapped type to strip non-public members, methods are changed to properties and thus cannot be overridden by the mixin 🤦‍♂️

I spent most of the day writing another part of our migration guide for LoopBack component authors. I'm looking forward to get the migration guide finished so that I can again put my coding hat on. Writing is fun, but only for so long.

We are discussing how to add HTTP/2 support to LoopBack. Thankfully the HTTP/1 compatibility API provided by Node.js removes most of the concerns about different communication model. Unfortunately TypeScript and `@types/node` makes it quite difficult to get everything right 😒

My first LoopBack screencast 🎥 shows how to upgrade datasource files in your LB4 project from the old JSON-based configuration to the new pure-TypeScript style. Enjoy! 👀

Recoding screencasts on MacBookPro:
- The screen has 16:10 format (1800p)
- FaceTime camera has 16:9 format (720p)
- iMovies supports only 16:9 (720p or 1080p)
- Downscaling screen recording to 720p makes text blurry
- 16:10 screen gets a black border when added to 16:9 video
🤔

Any recommendations on how to fine-tune @OBSProject video encoding options to get best results for screencasts showing source code? I am recording on a MacBookPro with a retina display. /cc @alesroubicek

Shell completion for LoopBack4 CLI tool `lb4` is coming in the next release! 🎉
