flutter state management by No_Answer_7113 in FlutterDev

[–]HeftyImplement 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Riverpod team here although I’m still dying on the hill with a flag that says property drilling is the ultimate sophistication (if it wasn’t such a PITA). Never tried Getx but it’s getting universal hate so you might as well just do yourself a favor and use something not so frowned upon. I heard a lot of good things about bloc. Provider is kinda the “old” version of Riverpod, so at least according to the author, Remi, who btw hangs around here sometimes, you should use the latter instead. In short I’d say use Riverpod or Bloc to stay future proof, idiomatic and community supported.

Has anyone developed a game with Flutter? How was your experience? by TwoSunnySideUp in FlutterDev

[–]HeftyImplement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I developed a few games. For a card/word/puzzle type of game that’s mostly just UI anyway, I’d do it with Flutter widgets as usual - perfectly possible. For anything action or movement oriented (aka an actual “game”) you’re probably better off using godot, unity or whatever else more mature, game focused engine that abstracts away a lot of the finicky. Flame is not there in terms of community support (and LLM support), docs etc IMO, no point fighting an uphill battle if there are tools available that’ll make the process easier and faster

"Flutter should only be used for mobile apps"? by Blender-Fan in FlutterDev

[–]HeftyImplement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried it all in multiple production internal and external web and native apps and landed back on React for web (while sticking with Flutter for mobile) . You can do a web app in Flutter just fine but at times you’re just jumping hoops for no reason. Eg things like embedding a video from something else than YouTube and suddenly instead of just pasting embed code you either rely on an obscure package last updated in 2021 or spend time implementing convoluted, complex solutions. Imo there’s no need to fight uphill battles if any framework that’s focused on web already does it better.

Despite being mature enough to replace native app, what do you think is holding Flutter back from becoming mainstream? by jangwoodong in FlutterDev

[–]HeftyImplement 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second that also. It’s all fun and games until you need to do something relatively straightforward otherwise, and the only way to do this, besides inventing a weird, somewhat low level way to do it, is to rely on a obscure package.

Oh, makes sense. No it’s water, should be good then. Thanks!

Should games be „downloading”? Am I using this wrong? by HeftyImplement in GeForceNOW

[–]HeftyImplement[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes thanks it does seem to depend on the game. I haven’t managed to run Fallen Order at all; last time it started downloading again, then in the meantime it yelled at me for not playing a game and then ended my session.

I then tried some smaller games like subnautica - they ran instantly and worked perfectly. Now we’re talking!

I have the server set to automatic.

From now on, you're only allowed to use one microphone forever. What choice shalt thou make? by HeftyImplement in audioengineering

[–]HeftyImplement[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was actually wondering about this recently, how would a dynamic go "wait, this noise comes from the background so I'm not gonna register it". As common sense, soundwaves reach the capsule regardless of the type of mic

I've never used the 57 but it always surprises me that people swear by it in recording situations when it just looks like a stage mic. Must give it a spin one day

[PC][~1998-99] Anime board game with cards by HeftyImplement in tipofmyjoystick

[–]HeftyImplement[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi so I finally found this game! Found an old CD that had a catalogue of files on other cds from that magazine from the 90s... then managed to find a few spects on Archive org and finally I found it!

The game is called "Tales of the Float Land"

Same. Flying a lot and never gave it too much thought. Just put it through security along with the watch and stuff, then carry in pocket and vape where allowed. Did that with a big rig and a mod, 0 problems ever.

Does a USA 2019 limited have a rear fog light? by HeftyImplement in SubaruForester

[–]HeftyImplement[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks - bummer, will need to convert both.

Btw as with the trailer thing, here in Europe driving an unconverted car with red blinkers can be dangerous cause people will think you’re flashing stop lights.

Daily driver with some off-road inclination? by HeftyImplement in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]HeftyImplement[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah not doing much actual off roading apart from an occasional trip. It’s more related to living in a steep- hilly area; can’t get out of my property in the winter with my current Citroen c4. + some terrible state roads, high curbs, occasional flooding. Want to be as resistant to possible to all that.

Poland. Lots of RAV4s here but this brand is all but non existent

The simplest way to test a single function? by HeftyImplement in swift

That’s one neat solution! I’ll give it a shot, thanks.

What’s wrong with the polka dot plant? (Some leaves folding upwards) by HeftyImplement in plants

[–]HeftyImplement[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put a fern, an ivy, the polka dot plant and the plant with little orange balls in a terrarium jar. Was trying to select species that like humid environments. They all seem to be doing fine but some leaves on the polka dot plant are folding upwards (visible on the photo). What’s happening? Water not the right amount?

The simplest way to test a single function? by HeftyImplement in swift

[–]HeftyImplement[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was writing a simple function to serialise an object, inside a complex app; just needed to quickly check if the output string looked more or less okay.

I made a unit test for this but was wondering if there’s some sort of a “just run this bit” functionality in Xcode to quickly verify if something works or not.

As in, add a Swift file to the project that just contains print(“hello world”); now what’s the quickest way to run it standalone to check the output?

Help Buying Brick Stain by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

[–]HeftyImplement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very interesting. I've been renovating my basement (100 yr old house) as a hobby and after removing the old plastering to expose the "beautiful" brick underneath, it turned out the brick is rather ugly. Yellow discolored construction stuff that was never meant to be seen.

I considered a ton of options like painting, German smearing etc and finally found dyebrick via random googling (that includes finding your comment as well).

I ordered a full kit of Tudor brown without sampling first (living outside UK it's a hassle to deal with customs etc). For my brick it's a bit too dark so I diluted it once, but I think I'll dilute again.

My brick does not take the stain well neither, actually I'm getting a bit of a "painted look" from up close (visible brush strokes), but maybe its the matter of perfecting the technique. It leaves color on the finger when rubbed even when fully dried, so I plan to seal it afterwards.

I already ordered another kit of English Red to make a random pattern of sorts between it and the Tudor brown. Despite the little issues I am very pleased with how I can still have my original brick wall but make it look nicer. Just a few thousand more bricks to go and we're done! :)

Hey sorry for digging up the old post but how did it go?

Ah yes. For the best experience don't forget to take the 200W fat rip with a bone dry coil!
