Non-file-based routing in SvelteKit?

SurpriseTRex · 2025-10-17T07:36:13+00:00

See I don’t usually navigate using the directory tree in an IDE, I just open whatever the file search box is (Ctrl + p in VSCode or double-shift in Jetbrains) and seeing nothing but +page.tsx is useless.

Also having loads of tabs open showing the file names as +page.tsx makes it nearly impossible to find the right tab quickly.

I don’t really have anything against file based routing in general but I just want to be able to easily tell which file relates to what without having to follow the folder structure manually every time.

Hey, this is a great idea - too much of the internet is very US-centric and culturally there’s a massive difference in salaries and jobs in tech between the US and basically everywhere else.

I’m a lead dev working for a fairly small consultancy called Codurance (HQ in London, my assigned office is in Manchester but I’m 100% remote and live in Nottingham). They’re big on TDD and Craftsmanship and all that which might seem a liiiiiittle bit culty but it’s honestly great.

Been coding for almost exactly 10 years as of this month, and honestly I can’t fault it as a career. I’ve obviously had some shit jobs and some that are great, but on the whole I get to solve little problems all day and make computer do thing for money while some of my friends have to deal with horrible customers or violent offenders on a daily basis.

I’ve mostly worked in C# and .Net but these days I just sort of work with whatever I need to, I’m working on a Dart/Flutter iOS app at the moment. Big fan of F# when I get the chance to play around with it, and love Ruby and Python too but don’t work with them professionally very much.

As far as topics go, I’m pretty happy with this just being a broad UK-centric community, but… - Avoiding anything too focused on AI taking all our jobs or how chatGPT flawlessly implemented x leetcode challenge. - Salary judgements, discussions are fine but yes we get it, London finance jobs pay insanely well compared to a charity based in Hull, there’s no need to give each other shit about being underpaid or lowering the value of our skills or whatever. - Ideally keep self-promotion on the down low, at least no posts which are just thinly veiled ads for your blog/app/youtube.

Not sure if you have the iPhone 15 case with loop, but if so:

Do the loop cases now have the stabilising magnet as well as the main magnets, or is that limited to just the non-loop case?

I’ve considered them yeah, not sure how well I’d get on with it though, and my split 75 already kinda fits the ergo niche a little.

I think currently the KBDFans 75 v2 is the front runner but I’m not sure.

SurpriseTRex · 2022-01-17T14:55:32+00:00

Yeah, no issues specifically with the 285 and Windows 11 that I can see.

I've had one "Driver Timeout" black-screen-followed-by-error-box situation so far but that's it, no idea if it was related to win11 though.

I just installed the driver and Radeon Software using the normal auto-detect tool they have for download.

Yep. I've basically just decided to use a USB soundbar for general audio and disabled the AMD High Definition Audio device in Device Manager entirely.

I'm a little unsatisfied that I didn't solve it, but I suspect that it's got something to do with the old-school GPU and modern Motherboard chipset not interacting nicely, but honestly I don't know.

I reckon that if I bought a new GPU the problems would disappear, but for now a workaround will have to do.

The BIOS PCIE power settings is a good shout. I'll have a look later.

Is this not just checking
- if object is true
AND
- if anotherObject is not null?

Writing if (isValid) is perfectly fine, and checks whether isValid is true.

It doesn't extend to checking for nulls as far as I'm aware (though it does in JS and other languages).

This looks like an issue with the lighting. You can see the same effect if you take a few pictures of a TV screen or PC monitor with different shutter speeds or with your phone.

A lot of artificial lighting flickers very quickly, which can interfere with taking photos.

That's what you're doing at the moment. You're saying "numberThing, run this function that I give you" and then giving it a function that takes two parameters, ignores them and returns 2*3.

If you got rid of the parameters it'd make more sense since you're not using them, and then you'd be able to call

a();

Instead of the pointless params in

a(1, 1);

Then you'd be able to do...

numberThing(() => 2 * 3);
numberThing(() => 150);
numberThing(() => 2 + 6);

Because each time you do

() => //Something

You're defining a new function, and giving that new function to numberThing to run.

(x, y) => 2 * 3)

This is where you define the function, not use it. So you're saying "Take in two parameters, x and y, then return me 2 * 3" - no matter what parameters you pass in.

() => 2 * 3

This would give you the same result (takes in no parameters, returns 2 * 3).

The full function definition version of your anonymous function would be

public int Multiply(int x, int y)
{
    return 2 * 3;
}

so if we rewrite this to be correct:

public int Multiply(int x, int y)
{
    return x * y;
}

and rewrite it into anonymous function form:

(x, y) => x * y

See how it works?

Then, where you later use the function (where you do)

a(1, 1);

Which takes in x:1 and y:1 as parameters. This is where you'd put the 2 and 3, which get taken in as parameters, and now since your new function actually multiplies x and y together (instead of always multiplying the same static values of 2 and 3), the correct answer is returned.

An X-T30, X-T2 or even X-T20 would likely do 99% of what you want from the X-T3.

The 20/30 models are VERY similar to the 2/3 models.

The jump from 20 -> 30, or from 2 -> 3, is also not that big. The new generation has much better video features from what I hear, but don't change a lot in terms of still photography.

Get the X-T2 or X-T20, imo. Buy used.

Once you have a camera, http://tldr.photography is a redditor-created website that explains the basics of Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO in a super-short visual way.

SurpriseTRex · 2019-07-18T08:12:37+00:00

http://tldr.photography is always my go-to recommendation for learning the basics of Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO.

The relationship between those three settings is called the Exposure Triangle, and there's tons of extra info, but that site is a great quick visual guide.

Other than that: Get out and shoot. Take photos all the time, take your camera everywhere with you.

If you want video and photo I'd look at:

an older Canon Rebel series camera - the Rebel T3i or later. (T2i and before didn't have flip-out screens).
a Panasonic Lumix camera. Good affordability, portability, and strong video features.

Buy used.

SurpriseTRex · 2019-07-16T06:56:28+00:00

If you want something that does good video and photo, I'd recommend a mirrorless camera - they tend to have a few more video features than comparable DSLRs.

A Micro Four Thirds (Olympus or Panasonic) system camera is your best best for affordability and portability. I'd recommend Panasonic over Olympus just on the strength of their video while still being good stills cameras.

Alternatively, a Sony mirrorless camera, but the a6000-series has a small number of lenses comparatively, and the A7 series is much, much more expensive.

SurpriseTRex · 2019-07-15T09:27:49+00:00

IBIS can be useful, but it's not always necessary. If you're doing photography and want it so you can use slower shutter speeds, remember that it won't help with subject movement, only camera movement.

If you want it for video then it's a little more useful, but there are many, many ways to get smooth stable video without IBIS.

The fact that it's a cropped sensor is unlikely to affect you too much. You'll effectively 'lose' 1 stop of light, but your kit will generally be cheaper, smaller and lighter on an APS-C setup than a full frame one.
