I see IDE competition kinda like browser wars. I was just thinking the other day that VSCode was slower than it used to be. What if VSCode becomes slower? What if MS adds a bunch of bloat to it and it becomes like VS proper? Similar to whe

Thanks. I think I might try this out first since there isn't much overhead. What's the performance like for you? Any advice you have on mitigating possible perf issues?

Here is the section on the limitations. Having tried this out myself, please be aware that this is not really 'inheritance'. I had to ditch it completely from my design: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current

Lots of limitations. The main one is if you're using FKs in your database, you're quickly going to hit issues: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/ddl-inherit.h...

I like having basic triggers like created_at/updated_at. No issues there... but tons of issues with 'inheritance'. There are a lot of limitations.

I invested a lot into a full React webapp - it would be great to share some of that code with mobile apps. I have an iOS background but was intending to make a RN app so that I could share the bulk of the React webapp code and get Android s

Dunno about ‘galore’. The color of the circles seems to correlate with the confidence.

Have you used it? I saw it before but felt wary about having yet another layer above RN and React. I’ve been burned by taking on too many dependencies doing magical/black box things in the past...

Another example: Typescript vs. Flow. Two different type checkers, with different capabilities and pros/cons. But given that many devs are using VSCode now there is so much emphasis being placed on Typescript by MS that Flow is slowly

Hi - What's the latest philosophy/best practices on interop with React web? Is the philosophy still 'learn once write everywhere'? There are so many different approaches now to reuse React Native with React, like react-n

>> So, I think step one is to step back, all take a breath (devs, browser-makers, etc.) and look at creating a reasonable, cohesive platform for proper Web-development, free of the legacy baggage of a static document-based foundation

Would be interested to learn more about how you share components/code between RN and React!

I just change “flex” to “grid”. It has the same result and it can be grids all the way down. I’ve seen issues on mobile platforms when containing grids in flex boxes.

You get it. Grid-gap is so powerful and I can never go back to flexbox even for 1-dimensional stuff. My favorite is using minmax() to control responsive overflow.

by mephitix 8y ago
I really don't get this argument. Not only is it easier IMO to layout things in one-dimension with CSS grid, but there are subtle bugs that occur on different platforms if you have Flexbox and Grid nested within each other. Just stick

I don't understand... isn't that something that the company decides? How are users stealing something? For the longest time companies have been able to market something as 'free' when they have been the ones who have bee

'Free' is a powerful word - there's a lot of incentive for companies to tout 'free' and for users to feel like they're getting a good deal - when in reality there's a whole lot of other stuff happening beh

I guess I should rephrase - now is a good time compared to the foreseeable future? As in, next couple of years it will be a worse time. I actually bought a house 5 years ago, and I really feel I totally lucked out. Back then though, the fea

I'm not an expert at all in this - but it seems like now is a great time to be a real estate investor? Given that interest rates will rise, there will be more demand in the rental market. I don't think REITs will be a good option

How do articles like these get published? Mostly FUD, no mention of 'opinion' at all. At least the intentions are clear - from the author, at the bottom of the article: "Disclosure: I am/we are short TSLA."

I guess it depends on how you learn. I personally used CRA in my learning process and it helped me get up to speed in understanding React fundamentals (reconciliation, lifecycles, state management..) Then I started going down into the stack
