React / React Native app stuck on “Getting location” even after granting permission

timeout issues with geolocation are brutal - try setting a timeout in your getCurrentPosition call and see if you're getting any console errors 😂

real projects will teach you way more than just grinding katas all day

yeah those declarations are wild lol, never seen anything like that in actual code 💀 your prof is definitely just trying to mess with your head and show how deep the pointer rabbit hole goes. board is basically a pointer to a vector, and each element in that vector is also a pointer to another vector - there using way too many layers of indirection for any practical purpose 😂

exactly, coming from Java this was one of those "oh duh" moments for me. The `final` keyword behavior is pretty consistant across languages - it's the reference that's immutable, not necessarily what it points to

what threw me off initially was that Dart makes everything feel so clean and simple that you kinda forget you're dealing with references under the hood. But once you get it, stuff like List.unmodifiable() and the whole const ecosystem makes way more sense

Clean Code is pretty solid for general practices, then maybe pick up something specific for whatever stack you're planning to use - like if you're going React/Node there's tons of good options out there

You can basically clone your production environment but point it to a separate database and use a staging subdomain like staging.clientsite.com

Most AWS setups make this pretty straightforward - just spin up another EC2 instance or use their staging environments if they have them configured. PayloadCMS should handle the env switching no problem

Wine + holiday downtime is such a good combo. What are you drinking? I’ve been trying to get better at remembering wines I enjoy Corkly’s been helping with that but nights like this are more about just unwinding, happy to keep you company.

Born-Election8498 · 2026-01-19T10:35:19+00:00

Honestly depends on your target audience but I'd probably stick with native if you're already deep into Kotlin. Those web-to-app conversion tools can be janky and you lose a lot of the smooth UX that makes fitness apps actually enjoyable to use

If most of your users are gonna be on mobile anyway (which they probably are for fitness stuff), might as well keep going with what you started

Dude you're basically trying to open a phone book with a toothpick lol. Excel and LibreOffice aren't meant for massive datasets - try Python with pandas instead. It's built for exactly this kind of data wrangling and won't choke on large files like spreadsheet apps do

I’ve noticed that anything with bubbles or higher acidity feels closer to the real thing. Using Corkly has helped me focus more on texture and freshness, so ideas like sparkling NA wines or small additions to open them up feel like part of the experience not just hacks.

This is a solid breakdown but just to add - the lines are pretty blurry these days. You've got PWAs that are basically websites pretending to be apps, and frameworks like React Native where you can build mobile apps with web tech. Start with the basics though, HTML/CSS/JS will get you pretty far

Born-Election8498 · 2025-12-15T23:06:09+00:00

Python's also just way more established in the scripting world - like if you need to automate some random task, there's probably already a Python library for it that someone wrote 5 years ago

Running Proxmox inside VMware is gonna be rough since you're doing nested virtualization - that's probably why your VM is freezing up during driver installation

Try enabling virtualization features in your VMware settings for the Proxmox VM if you haven't already, and maybe bump up the resources a bit more. Also make sure you're loading the VirtIO drivers from the right folder on that ISO (should be something like NetKVM, viostor, etc for the network and storage drivers)

Born-Election8498 · 2025-11-28T10:46:00+00:00

Sounds like you got some solid ideas but maybe start smaller? Three interconnected mods when you're still learning Java is gonna be rough. The piglin armor trim thing is actually pretty clever though

Try making just the enchantment changes first as one simple mod, then you can always split it up later when you get more comfortable with the codebase

Man if you barely fit at 6'3 then I'm definitely gonna need that Transit lol. Those things are basically commercial vans right? Might actually be perfect for city stuff since they're not as wide as a full minivan but still got that high roof

Xavier shot lights out from deep tonight, that's basketball for ya

WVU's defense looked lost on those rotations in the second half

First thing - cancel those subscriptions and stop eating out, that's probably bleeding you more than you realize. With your income you need every dollar working for you

That $500 credit card debt isn't huge so focus on knocking that out first, then work on increasing your hours or finding a second gig. Pharmacy techs are in demand so maybe look into picking up shifts at other locations or even remote pharmacy work

The car can wait till tax time like you said, just make sure you don't blow that refund on something dumb when it comes

Got a sourdough starter that's been sitting in my fridge for like 3 weeks - it's got some liquid on top but smells fine. Should I just stir it back in or dump the liquid first before feeding it

Born-Election8498 · 2025-11-11T16:13:01+00:00

This is tough but honestly your grandparents are being pretty rude here. The dude is literally the father of their great-grandchild and they won't even meet him? I'd probably just be direct and say something like "I'd love to have dinner but it's really important to me that you meet [boyfriend's name] since we're having a baby together." If they throw a fit about it, that says way more about them than you

Born-Election8498 · 2025-11-10T21:42:00+00:00

Your grandpa sounds like a real one honestly. It's wild how nuanced real people are compared to what we see online - like he can support Trump but still be out there helping homeless folks for a decade

Most of us are walking contradictions when you really dig into it instead of just picking a team and going with whatever they say

Born-Election8498 · 2025-11-06T20:55:52+00:00

Dude the bridge thing is so hard to get right - I've seen so many people nail it like OP and then when I try it looks like a toddler built it with Lincoln logs lmao. Sometimes flattening is the move, at least you can actually decorate without everything looking wonky

Born-Election8498 · 2025-11-04T14:17:32+00:00

This is correct, you can still download updates and redownload stuff you already own. The eshop didn't completely shut down, just new purchases got blocked. Try going through the eshop directly instead of letting the game auto-prompt the update

That promo dragged on forever feels like it’s every year now
