They do. With the caveat that only the js bundle can be pushed via ota. If your app changes that touch the native implementation requires a traditional review. Check out Expo publish and Microsoft Codepush.

Give serious thought about using React Native over Flutter: 1) You can use JavaScript/TypeScript instead of learning another bespoke language (Dart). 2) With React Native you have the option of deploying OTA updates, this allows you to deploy fixes and basic updates without going through the app store review process.

Is there a benefit to rebasing vs merging, specifically if your flow is to squash commits before merging back into base?

This is a great read, not only Software Developers, but also Product Managers, and Owners, who would like a better understanding of the development cycle they're working within.

> Lately I have been building applications in Python/tkinter and I still can't get over how fast it is on both my mac and PC both to start up and when running.

Has the GUI of tkinter apps improved over the past couple of years? I have yet to see an interface built with tk that doesn’t look like it was meant for Win95.

> Is it? Is the $30 puck better than the Home assistant or does it just suck that much more in French than it does in English? (Not being snarky, genuinely asking)

Absolutely it is. In general, my Siri usage is limited to opening Google Assistant, that's how bad it is. Also, "Hey Google" works as a command on most devices.

This past year I moved from NYC (Queens) to Central NJ and it's been a positive experience. It's surprising how beautiful this state really is. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), those who's experience with NJ solely consist of driving along the Turnpike, or landing in EWR, really have no idea.

Being that these products are catered more towards enterprise, and pro-sumer users I would think they'd be inclined to release patches in a timely manner. After taking a quick peek at their software change logs going back to ~2013, they consistently release monthly patches.

I'm a huge fan of using UniFi products in the home. I run a UniFi Switch 8 and UniFi UAP-AC-Pro, covering around 2300sqft. The setup cost around $250.
