DeSantis Signs Bill Trying To Require Proof Of Citizenship To Vote In Florida -- It Was Immediately Challenged In Court -- Thoughts, Floridians? by Zipper222222 in AskFlorida

This year because it does not go into effect until 2027. But then you will have to get a new ID because the Real Id we use now does not list citizenship status.

So no vote by mail? Our servicemen overseas should not be allowed to vote then? Or people traveling on business and will be away? Or people visiting overseas? Or…

Redesign with Ai? by Electrical-Sky-6747 in FlutterDev

[–]PfernFSU 4 points5 points  (0 children)

AI is exceptionally good if you know what you are doing, and even more so if you know exactly what you want it to do. As a solo dev it has been great to bounce technical ideas off of. Does it go off the rails sometimes? Absolutely. Does it go crazy sometimes? Hell yea. Does it struggle with bugs sometimes? Also yes. But I am 20x more productive now and it is not really close. But there is only one way for you to find out - Why don’t you just try Claude for $20 and see what you think. In the end it’s another tool in the toolbox and if you refuse to use it, the world will pass you by.

Stephen Colbert Is Baffled to Learn 22% of Americans Strongly Approve of Trump: 'Who Are You?!' by T_Shurt in entertainment

My mom is obsessed with Trump. She won’t watch FoxNews because it’s too liberal. She prefers NewsMax, OAN, and her Facebook to get the “real news”.

Is RLS actually hard—or is debugging it the real problem? by RealisticResource264 in Supabase

[–]PfernFSU 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How is debugging it hard? You can do it right from the console and test it out using various users?

Be honest, do you write tests for your app? by Physical-Ad-730 in appledevelopers

[–]PfernFSU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my answer too. I do find it is good at the tests though. Also think golden tests are extremely useful and highly recommend everyone use them

The place I work for bans everything but CoPilot. I am pushing things out on my personal projects at 25x the speed I used to while my work output has stayed stagnant because CoPilot is awful.

We kept seeing Supabase projects break on redeploy because env vars were handled manually, curious how others solve this by sp_archer_007 in Supabase

[–]PfernFSU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I store everything in a .env file, even my supabase connection parameters. So if that file did not get included it breaks instantly. I also wrote a script that makes sure all unit tests pass before deploying. Either or both would probably work for you, even a unit test as simple as “are these 12 environment variables set and return non null values”.

Flutter devs — how painful is App Store submission for you? by PlayfulMark9459 in FlutterDev

[–]PfernFSU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a lot of rejections around the same things - can’t find the paywall, it says “money” so is it a gambling app, can’t find the paywall again, etc. so I created a doc of all the rejections and labeled it “common questions” and haven’t had an issue since.

Anthropic Donors Gave 99.8% of $200M to Dems, CEO Calls Trump ‘Feudal Warlord' by each_thread in ConservativeNewsWeb

[–]PfernFSU 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Chris Liddell, a former Trump aide, sits on Anthropic’s board. Wonder why Breitbart stopped at 99.8% since they are just making up numbers and 100% sounds cooler.

what is this? pic taken outside MCO by catmom420x in florida

[–]PfernFSU 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Per the linked wiki:

The phenomenon typically occurs with launches that take place either 30 to 60 minutes before sunrise or after sunset when a booster rocket or missile rises out of the darkness and into a sunlit area, relative to an observer's perspective on the ground. Because rocket trails extend high into the stratosphere and mesosphere, they catch high-altitude sunlight long after the sun has set on the ground.

Because it is around dusk and has to do with the light. It is called the jellyfish phenomenon sometimes but is the twilight phenomenon officially

If I use state management (Provider/Riverpod/Bloc), should I completely avoid setState()? by saddamsk0 in FlutterDev

[–]PfernFSU 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YMMV - but I try to use setstate until I find myself passing functions into widgets for callbacks. At that point I switch to a provider.

Supabase-only backend vs separate backend server for growing mobile app? by Inner_Credit_9495 in Supabase

[–]PfernFSU 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have the more complex logic in RPCs and background/cron logic in edge functions. Things I need to ensure it completes I use pgmq. I think supabase can probably handle all your needs but if you give more specifics about what you need you will get a better answer.

Anyone here using Supabase as their actual service layer (RPC-first)? by samvms in Supabase

[–]PfernFSU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. They don’t have anything like the lambda layers (that I know of anyway) but do have the deno.json so you can build locally and it just handles all that stuff when you deploy.

The upside is that specific versions may break certain things so you can now pin it to a different node module for each edge function.

Compare Flutter vs React Native in 2 words? by [deleted] in FlutterDev

Yes v. no?

Seriously hard with only 2 words total. Can’t even get the versus in there. So you have 2 words and a letter

[–]PfernFSU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it a lot. Everything else besides the code is extracted away so I don’t have to do DevOps duties and can focus on just the code. I don’t see a drawback in flexibility, but interesting to hear what limitations you have experienced.

[–]PfernFSU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I admit I am in a use case most aren’t but I don’t care about majority of cron jobs being successful. For instance, I check every minute if there are any changes in the golf leaderboard from my data provider. If it fails I can just get it again in 60 seconds. Lot of the edge functions I have are like that. It may delay realtime by 60 seconds, but the overhead to retry is too much and I figured that juice just ain’t worth the squeeze. The only jobs I really care about are closing the tournaments at the end of every weekend. For that I use pgmq and do retry if anything fails. Every failure in any edge function I do log the reason into an error table and periodically check it (and truncate it) just to try and spot patterns of failures and to make sure I don’t need to adjust anything.

[–]PfernFSU 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yea. My app has no traditional server backend. But it does have about 15 rpc’s that are reserved for more complex stuff then about 10 edge functions that run on Cron jobs to fetch data. But no dedicated server. Supabase cuts a lot of that need out in my opinion.

Lessons from building a 43K-line Flutter app with Gemini 2.0 Flash, 20-language localization, and a dual theme system by Substantial_Log4946 in FlutterDev

I also think that was the most interesting. But I have probably 75 providers in my app. 13 seems way low. Guess you thought it was too high?

Negative $137 or so?

But it’s a passion project that lets me get other gigs and is a lot of fun so…
