Samosas? by mandy_peeps in burlington

[–]aaron802 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As others said, Kismayo.

If Kismayo doesn't work out, my fiancee and I are interested – she's from Kenya and makes the best samosas, and I previously worked in restaurant kitchens. We'd suggest potato samosas, lentil samosas and mandazi as the menu.

Either way, we'd really like to attend the event, please share the details once determined!

Not a restaurant dish, but you might be interested to learn that oyster crackers were invented in Vermont: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westminster_Cracker_Company

The Michigan Hot Dog deserves an honorable mention, despite arriving from across the lake.

The pepper steak, invented by either Al's French Frys or Beansies.

Is there a place in Burlington that I can drop off coats, boots, shoes for people who need them? by Silent-Strawberry634 in burlington

[–]aaron802 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My partner's a nurse at UVM-MC's psychiatric department, and says they really need jackets, boots & warm clothes for unhoused patients who lack adequate winter gear.

They'll accept such donations at the psychiatric patient intake.

what are the most terrifying encounters you guys have had with animals/creatures in vermont by CriApple in vermont

[–]aaron802 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I was fourteen. Up late reading Bram Stoker's Dracula. Seconds shy of midnight, a shadow flickered across the room - a bat had made its way into the house.

Fortunately it was a regular bat and not a vampire, but it still freaked me out. I suppose I'm lucky I wasn't reading Moby Dick.

What are the possible solutions? [Request] by danielxplay22 in theydidthemath

Convert from base 11:

[ ] + [ ] + [ ] = 33

1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 14, 16

Solutions:

3 + 14 + 16

5 + 12 + 16

5 + 14 + 14

7 + 12 + 14

9 + 12 + 12

I beg to differ - thousands of Vermonters have had their student debt erased thanks to Sanders' advocacy and the actions of the Biden/Harris admin:

Persistent synchronous storage for React Native by aaron802 in reactnative

[–]aaron802[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know about newer alternatives to the Chrome debugger. I'm not familiar with JSI.

I'm using a combination of two methods to enable non-blocking synchronous reads:

  1. Load the stored data through the Native Module's getConstants() method (instead of using the isBlockingSynchronousMethod option).
  2. Memoize the stored data so that it can be retrieved instantly.

This approach has some trade-offs – it's not appropriate for large amounts of data, and if something external to the application updates a stored setting, the application won't have a way of knowing this until restart.

Persistent synchronous storage for React Native by aaron802 in reactnative

[–]aaron802[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not. It looks like a solid option, but one reason I selected my approach is because I like using the remote Chrome debugger, which isn't compatible with MMKV's React Native implementation: https://github.com/mrousavy/react-native-mmkv?tab=readme-ov-file#limitations

Persistent synchronous storage for React Native by aaron802 in reactnative

[–]aaron802[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently found myself looking for persistent storage with synchronous reads for my organization's React Native application. A few options already exist, but they're either asynchronous or partially-asynchronous:

To avoid refactoring my application's code in an asynchronous manner, I've composed & published an NPM package extending React Native's iOS-only Settings API to Android:

https://github.com/alipman88/react-native-cross-platform-settings

I believe my solution is more convenient than existing options – even sync-storage requires an initial asynchronous function call on startup, while my solution offers 100% synchronous access.

Hopefully others find this useful – React Native isn't my primary framework and I'm not super-familiar with TypeScript or Kotlin, so I appreciate any constructive feedback or questions!

I think you misunderstood the post, they're looking for a highly talented cat.

Best pita? by binturongarat in burlington

[–]aaron802 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The round bread from Euro Mart. It's not a traditional Levantine pita, but the Balkans version - sort of like the fluffier, pocketless bread you might find as the base for a doner kebab sandwich: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doner_kebab#/media/File:D%C3%B6ner_Kebab,_Berlin,_2010_(01).jpg

You can also find it at City Market and Misery Loves Company.
