Last week, I started using a M1 powered MacBook Air as my primary computer. It feels much faster that my previous 16" MacBook Pro with Intel processor. Here's a good post on how Apple made their processors so fast.

Project Lanai is a joint effort between JetBrains and Oracle that looks to solve performance problems by utilizing Apple's Metal API for rendering the application instead of OpenGL. My colleague Alex tried using it in PhpStorm

It's very frustrating I can't use a scaled resolution on my Mac because of PhpStorm.
PhpStorm has had performance issues on OSX for a very long time now, sometimes to the point of being unusable. I've written about these issues before, but it's good to keep a regularly updated list of what's going on. So without further ado: if you're on OSX (Sierra, High Sierra or Mojave); if you're experiencing PhpStorm performance issues, this post might help you.

I'm one of those people who runs beta software. A short time after the keynote is finished I'll update (or wreck) my phone with the beta version of iOS. My Mac generally gets the beta treatment not much later. Of course there are some risks involved. There's no guarantee that your applications will still work. Though your mileage may vary, it's my experience however that those betas are pretty stable.
With macOS Sierra there was one piece of software that didn't work properly: Laravel Valet. For some obscure reason Valet just stopped working after a couple minutes. The requests just hang. After some time an ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED was displayed in Chrome. After running valet restart it ran fine for some more minutes. After poking around in the configuration of caddy, the webserver that powers Valet, and the php.ini file I found no solution. A complete reinstall of Laravel Valet did not solve the issue. I learned to live with the problem, regularly running valet restart. I even set up an alias for it.
But luckily Bryce Adams found the solution (Martin Bastien notified me about it). It's very simple: you just have to update the caddy server to the latest version manually. Here are the steps involved:
I hope this post can help all the crazy ones running beta software.
EDIT on 2016-09-21: alternatively, you could use the dev-sierra branch to get a working version of Valet on macOS Sierra.
@freekmurze Can also use the `dev-sierra` branch which has Caddy 0.9.1 baked in ??
