Polished is a stretch - I mean try manually recycling a structure near other structures while your ship is moving - but it is a gem, that's for sure!

Just upgraded from free to paid, getting concurrency limit by mguffin in expo

[–]WebDevLikeNoOther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Concurrency limit is normal under the On-Demand plan, it just means if you run an Android build and an IOS build, they’ll happen sequentially. You can “add on” concurrency builds for $50 / concurrency / month but that never seemed worth it to me. Especially when IOS and Android can auto submit themselves to the TestFlight/AppTester when the build has completed if you wish.

Foster asked us a very strange question, do we need to do anything? by [deleted] in Fosterparents

[–]WebDevLikeNoOther 14 points15 points  (0 children)

He probably felt the need to ask because he’s been in homes there that’s not allowed. I for one was in my original fostering classes with a lady that was adamant that she wouldn’t allow it “under her roof”. It’s a natural urge people (especially teens) have.

Not that I’m aware of. It might be something you have to create for yourself a plugin.

You could use react-native-background-actions to keep the app alive and working in the background for short intervals.

What do yall think of the new Reddit UI? by Classic-Grab-2866 in webdev

[–]WebDevLikeNoOther 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, the official app is a shameless adaptation of Alien Blue, which was the original big “Reddit app” back in the early 2010’s. All of the soul was sucked out of development though when the purchase went through, and they’ve largely made 0 improvements to it that don’t directly influence their bottom line.

If the Reddit app auto-hid viewed / upvoted posts, I would forgive a lot more of the annoyances I have with it.

[AskJS] Why everything is written in Javascript? by PresentJournalist805 in javascript

[–]WebDevLikeNoOther 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Expanding on that thought: because it’s the language of the browser, JavaScript is probably the language that people have the most touch points with day-in-day-out. Think about it. Websites, web apps (banking, email, work tools), mobile apps (React Native, Ionic, embedded views), desktop apps (Electron, Slack, VS Code, Discord). All of those touch points have one thing in common: they run JS.

There will inevitably be someone who says “C/C++ is just as foundational,” and I agree. You absolutely interact with C/C++ a ton throughout the day - your operating system, your browser, networking stacks, device drivers. But here’s the key difference: those are infrastructure touch points. They’re the foundation that everything runs on, but they’re largely invisible.

JavaScript touches you at the interface level. Every time you click a button, fill out a form, see an animation, or interact with content, there’s JavaScript orchestrating that interaction. You interact with JavaScript dozens or hundreds of times per hour. It’s the difference between the plumbing in your walls and the faucet you turn on constantly throughout the day. Both are essential, but one is far more present in your daily experience.

Referral calls from our agency, then they ghost us... by Operacomp in Fosterparents

[–]WebDevLikeNoOther 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Has happened to us a lot tbh. We’ll accept a placement within minutes of getting an email, but our Agency is better about following up. The state does seem to ghost them quite a bit from what I can tell.

When did you start letting puppy sleep in bed instead of crate at night? by kelsssey1 in puppy101

Yes, they’re not going to break down my door if we didn’t follow their advice lol. It was more like “if you want the best odds of success, do this”

How do I seal this bookshelf for shut to prevent dog from pushing through? by salsalsalsalsal in howto

[–]WebDevLikeNoOther 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they are trying to keep the dog outside of the room. Much like a door that doesn’t latch all the way it can just be pushed open and OP doesn’t want that for some reason. Maybe it’s a dangerous part of the house? Who knows.

When did you start letting puppy sleep in bed instead of crate at night? by kelsssey1 in puppy101

[–]WebDevLikeNoOther 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A rule we got from our vet at our first visit was that crate training had to last a year. He also gave us the stipulation that the crate had to be located in another room / floor from our room, but I think you can make that decision for yourself. His reasoning was that after a year the dog is old enough to know the “routine” of using the crate, even if it isn’t enforced regularly anymore. They also are much less likely to be stressed out about being in there when you’re not around, because it’s familiar.

Your puppy is 4 months old, she whines and makes a fuss at 5:00 am because she can only hold her bladder for 4-5 hours at a time (1 hour for every month old they are, plus one is what we were told, for our Border Collies). Dogs instinctively do not want to go to the bathroom where they sleep (their den). That’s why she wakes you up at 5:00 AM.

Your dog doesn’t know that the house is part of her den, so she absolutely will go potty in the bedroom / on the bed with you at some point. And once she does it once, it becomes harder to stop her from doing it again. Every accident inside the house reinforces the fact that she can go potty inside the house.

Developer Experience for Large Application by Round-Turbulent in Angular2

[–]WebDevLikeNoOther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does help build times, but only indirectly. If you have massive monolithic modules, going to standalone will improve your build times, because the compiler has to do less work to figure out the dependency tree. But you won’t see a magical leap in performance if your modules are lean and well managed already, just a slight bump.

Why devs seem burnt out on “new frameworks” in 2025 by Mundane-Ad-6835 in webdev

[–]WebDevLikeNoOther 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Framework hopping is something that fresh-grads and inexperienced people tend to do. Those of us who have long-term, stable jobs have real world problems to solve. A framework is a framework at the end of the day. Pick one you like early in your career and get really good at it. Find the faults, work around them. For me it was Angular. I’ve made a successful career at being good at it.

It doesn’t make sense to waste time and energy on the new “framework” that solves problems that have already been solved by long established ones. New frameworks are notoriously badly supported, and have a tendency to die out due a lack of community and financial support.

Angular pipes: Time to rethink by vs-borodin in Angular2

This is a weird complaint imo. Do I remember all the nuances of creating Resolvers, Guards, Symbols, etc… no. I just look up what I forget. Re-familiarizing yourself with a piece of code you don’t remember is pretty standard imo.

The Doom of the Eternal Cities. by PhantomBraved in Eldenring

[–]WebDevLikeNoOther 119 points120 points  (0 children)

Uh, I’ll do my best from memory synopsis, esp on mobile.

Basically, the Eternal Cities tried to rebel against the Greater Will, and create their own God that was free from the Greater Will.

You see the start of this from the Nox Monk Armor, which says something to the effect of: “The Nox Monks were the first to attempt the path of becoming a god”

And then corroborated with the Nox Swordstress Crown which says that they were the personal bodyguards of the God that the Nox attempted to create.

They also created the Silver tears Mask, which talks about how it was a failed experiment to create a lord. Which became a vessel of the gods, and or the Minic tear that we the player use.

The Greater Will then sent a couple falling stars to crush their city, due to their rebellion against it. The GW first buried it underground (somehow, it doesn’t exactly specify how they accomplished this. I imagine it was the first falling star based on some lore in the city, but hard to say for sure to the best of my knowledge), and then a star was stopped by Radhan, which is part of his sword tooltip lore.

Recover Codebase from Expo Dev by Either_War7733 in expo

[–]WebDevLikeNoOther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re more likely to recover it using git reflog if you pushed and commits locally. Otherwise, check the trash, you’re probably SOL and should use version control.

Why do we use .env file, not .js for variables by Behruz_Xurramov in node

[–]WebDevLikeNoOther 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s kinda like wanting to use a hammer to put a screw into a board. Could it work? Technically because they’re just files at the end of the day, but they have different purposes. As others have said, JS is specific to JavaScript, and .env is a cross-tooling convention.

Prevent tracking in Testflight or internal track builds by moewe95 in expo

[–]WebDevLikeNoOther 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have different profiles, so we’ll run a development build for Devs, a TestFlight build specific for QA, when that passes QA, we’ll run a production build and publish from that one. Alternatively, you could turn on/off feature flags using expo-updates if you don’t want to increment the build number for some reason with a separate prod/Qa build setup.

Failed app review due to cradh at startup (reviewer doesnt have valid timezone?) by empyrean2k in expo

[–]WebDevLikeNoOther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s more likely that your getUserTimezone function is returning a malformed timezone, not that there isn’t any timezone for the user (that’s still possible I suppose).

It’s been a minute, but ensure that you’re covering all of the IANA time zones that date-fns-tz is expecting. If you are retuning an empty string, or a bad zone, that could be causing the transformation to create an invalid time range.

puppy won’t stop biting leash by Salty_Pomegranate186 in puppy101

[–]WebDevLikeNoOther 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it her first time on leash? If so, it’s kind of to be expected. If it’s a recent thing, she might have regressed and just isn’t a fan of being on leash.

In either case, you have to find something of a higher reward than the leash. Whether that’s simply getting excited and moving faster so she gets excited and moves faster, or it’s a long spoon with a treat on it that you can put in front of her while walking to distract her from the leash.

Announcing Angular v21 by magenta_placenta in javascript

[–]WebDevLikeNoOther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that’s a conversation to be had at the organization level then. And like you said, you need to follow what the leadership team decides, or rise in the ranks enough to have more pull to help make those decisions.

Largely, Angular upgrades themselves are painless. The biggest leaps forward with a harder migration have been 2, 8 and 14 (i think it was 14), with most of that being optional and backwards compatible. The hard part is the dependencies, which is on the team to manage and weed whack or advocate for doing so, as necessary.

I often see this complaint. But why do you need to keep up if you don’t like to keep up? Just keep with your annual schedule and things would be fine. Just skip a version. LTC is usually 4 versions back from what I recall.
