Not sure about poster above, but I found a large amount of value in writing tests when developing API backends. I knew the shapes and potential data. Was easier to write tests to confirm endpoints looked right than manually hit the api endp

Eh. Not sure I agree, unless you mean taking a non-native already made react bit and try to turn it into RN.. that is far harder and does require lots of money. too many people don't realize just how non-portable react code can be.

combining RN and RNW is a pain in practice. It can be done, but not easily.

I don't agree, and I have worked with this significantly as a consultant and core contributor to react-native. What typically happens is people convince themselves what you are saying is true then there ends up being huge delays to spi

NativeScript would prob suit them better.

thank you! there is a literal multi-year delay in 1.1 which has so many nice things in it.. i will try to get it out. edit: would also like to note that I have been thinking about this problem for like 10+ years lol.

it is a really well established pattern now a day tho and most iOS eng i come across know how to work with it. also totally agree on keeping it simple, but I spend about 6 months designing a codebase we could bring anyone up to speed on and

well, no. you can use MVVM with UIKit.. or VIPER.. or CLEAN. I have seen them all. And on the note of the app you are developing now.. you would be surprised! I don't often plug my own apps.. but if you look up snap web studios in the

They could they just don't. You could use npm, you could use SwiftPM. There is no tie to the cocoapods infra really - they just use it because that was there.

They are buying FTX - not FTX.US, I would imagine it is fine.

problem is you don't know if they aren't playing - so you must still work on it.

Love crafting interpreters. I’ve used principles from this book even outside of programming language development. It’s wonderful.

I’ve not read it either, but perhaps it’s similar to how a horror movie is less horrifying than reading a horror book. Artistic license occurs and you are compressing source materials. Based on other descriptions in the threads here, the ch

I don't think CEOs of public companies are allowed to say things that they don't mean, seems like the SEC would be up their butt about that that. His suggestions are perfectly legal if executed in a legal way, which they have star

Game also taught my dislike of inverted up/down I remember that being a specific thing and I don’t remember if it was changeable but it’s annoying me now so probably not heh.

Oh the sounds too. You knew when someone opened a door and there are only so many doors and if they opened two doors in rapid succession.. they were gonzo. The game is really a game of mastering all senses I guess lol.

Perhaps it didn’t look like it was from the hip - but for all intents and purposes it was. Holding down the Z button and aiming with the joystick was “down the sights”. I don’t recall if accuracy differs much in either scenario but the Z bu

Yes. I’d argue zooming was less likely, the AK47 that looked like a bottle of Chianti and you sprayed everywhere being a good example. It was really hard to try and use the aiming mode but key to levels (I forget exact name) where it’s a ma

Indeed a large appeal was the technical marvel of have a 4 person split screen game of such magnitude. Very different from the relative simplicity of Mario kart. Edit: it also bothers me that despite our progress on all technological fronts

The game being hard was part of the appeal. It took skill. Maybe arguably dumb skill on the wrong areas - but skill. I’m not impressed that modernizing and switching the input methods made it “better” because my respect for them as a player
