I found inside IR35 can be much more lucrative. It's big companies that have more money, can't hire enough perms, and just need stuff done
92.
by jacobp100 3y ago
I found the yearly take home for outside IR35 contracts is around 220 * day rate, inside is 200. I did find recently that the contract rates have gone down a lot, and the full time salaries increased - so I'm back perm after about 8 ye

Glad to hear they’re rewriting their flexbox algos. Both Chrome and Safari had a huge number of issues around a decade ago, but Chrome managed to rewrite their engine and now has a very good engine. Safari was lagging behind a lot here, so

The scan as you go app is quite good until you get a rescan. The issue there is on the employees handsets. They never seem to be able to log in

You’ve still got 3 or 4 years. It’ll probably be better then

I was in this boat in October. The market was brutal back then. The contract market is pretty much dead now except for fintech. Sent out probably more than 100 applications, and didn’t hear back from almost every single one. One of the recr

Safari has been improving at rapid pace for a while now. They were the first to get ES6 support (and the only to implement tail calls), they’re usually the first with CSS features

They’ve been hiring celebrity developer advocates too like Jen Simmons and recently Nichole Sullivan. But it has improved so much in the past few years too.

For anyone looking for a scientific calculator, I've been building TechniCalc since 2015 (although it was called SciLine back then). It features a visual equation editor; advanced maths features like imaginary numbers, matrices, and su

I’m guessing nobody was using it. I think Figma became successful (apart from being a good product) because it was free, so developers try it in their free time, and bring it into their company

Everything at https://jacobdoescode.com/ There’s a calculator app, measuring app, and two music apps

Yes it is still popular. Take a look at the showcase who is using it - Amazon was just added Libraries have always been a unique problem to React Native. A lot of the time not maintained, and can be low quality too - like half baked re-impl

Don’t lump iOS into this. I develop for that and while they do sometimes do things wrong, I’ve always had a human to reach out to by default - no searching around

I've figured out what causes it - the navigation system on older versions of iOS and macOS was broken. I'm releasing an update to fix it now and it will be with you as soon as Apple has reviewed it
105.
by jacobp100 3y ago
That makes sense. Thanks!

With the magnifier no longer being offset - does your finger now not completely cover it? Definitely does raise some good points though - it’s so difficult to get to the select all button on iOS when you actually need it
107.

That does not sound right. Don't suppose you could record a video, then tap the 'help' button and email me it?

I'm not sure what OS you're on, but iOS 13 was about the buggiest OS they ever released. If you're on that, I'd highly recommend upgrading. iOS 14 was pretty solid - but I'd still recommend upgrading
109.
by jacobp100 3y ago
Yes - it's so difficult to get up the pecking order in the App Store Unfortunately I won't be able to support older versions - iOS 15 already causes a lot of problems. That said, all devices that ran iOS 13 also run iOS 15

The old offering is still available as an in app purchase (it only unlocks importing, but doesn't expire) - but I think the conversion rates for IAPs are far, far lower

I'd love suggestions if you have any! The note length is maybe not possible, just due to the fact most midi files don't encode it very well
112.
by jacobp100 3y ago
It’s advertised in the screenshots - but I’ll double check the description I’d love to expand the catalog. Classical was easy because they’re all dead and everything is in the public domain. Anything current I’d have to license and I don’t

Yes - the core app is similar. Synthesia for sure has better import support and connects to physical keyboards. This app focuses a lot more on UI/UX, and still has some unique playback features, like setting up a loop that starts slow

Sometimes. Guitar Pro had a text format that could output them - but it's not frequently used. Bar lines are encoded pretty reliably, which is at least some timing information
115.
by jacobp100 3y ago
I think back when music notation was being actively iterated on, you had to convey all the information possible, because it’s not like you could share a recording. Things like guitar tabs - which typically erase timing information - only wo

Ah yes - mac is particularly difficult to get that interaction right Thanks for pointing out the typo. I'm really bad for those!

by jacobp100 3y ago
Thank you!

by jacobp100 3y ago
Looks like it! I'm definitely not the first to do this

by jacobp100 3y ago
Funny - this actually started as a web app! https://github.com/jacobp100/piano It does not recognize midi input at the moment
120.
by jacobp100 3y ago
Midi actually supports a lot of this. You can change the tempo on the fly, and each note has a velocity that's effectively your dynamic Yes - there's no key signatures. It's something I may add in the future Don't forget
