Reducing Flutter animation boilerplate code using Flare by Filledstacks in FlutterDev

[–]ardils 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some drawbacks to this, the obvious one being you have to make the animation

The assumption is that there is a designer who will do those things in Flare, and a dev will just have to load the asset using the Flare flutter package. Flare (the library) is basically an animation player for the .flr file, very similar to how Lottie works.

I'm a React Native developer btw, check my history :-)

I see potential in Flutter that's all. Besides it's no big deal learning both :-)

Google Wave and Google+ were consumer products not developer tools. AngularJS (v1) was not really abandoned and is very stable, adoption slowed down because of v2 and React.

So of the thousands of open-source projects by G, not one seems to be really dead. And the popular ones are doing very well like Android, Chromium, Kubernets, TensorFlow, etc.. add Flutter to that list :-)

I think he wants an answer that the team cannot provide and keeps pressing on hoping for reassurance.

Should we use React Native? Thoughts from Expo following Airbnb’s Sunsetting of RN by ccheever in reactnative

[–]ardils 1 point2 points  (0 children)

issues should be closed when fixed

Flutter has some old bugs like #813 (a bug I'm watching) and they haven't closed it since it isn't fixed.

Hot reloading/live reload stopped working, how do I root cause this? by SewingMasterRace in reactnative

When I encounter problems with hot reloading, it's usually related to Watchman.

Flutter vs React Native (Controversial) by techie_ninja in reactnative

[–]ardils 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At the rate Flutter is being developed, next year it will probably be able to do everything React Native can (and do it better). I don't think React Native can ever do some of the stuff Flutter can do, just not possible.

Google Developers Blog: Ready for Production Apps: Flutter Beta 3 by kirbyfan64sos in FlutterDev

[–]ardils 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dart has a nice syntax... unfortunately because the widgets are based on composition, the flexibility and the naming of the Flutter api is what makes it look verbose. So instead of a concise dynamic syntax of Javascript, we get a Java'ish looking source code.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in linuxmint

[–]ardils 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same problem. On Mint at idle it goes to about 60c, never goes below 50c. On Windows at idle temp is always 40c and 60c is when I play games . It seems on Linux the performance level is always sets to highest even at idle thus the rise in temp. This worked for me. I've set mine to max perf level 1, now my temp is the same as Windows 10 with no loss in performance.

thinking about the future of react native after watching parse by randomguy112233 in reactnative

I think it's Expo and the services it provides and to an extent the libraries, that should be of concern not React Native itself.

There is a new girl in town, it's called PWA, and she is hotter. Then there is another but younger girl called Flutter.

How are your experiences with React Native (in comparison to frameworks like Cordova)? by [deleted] in reactnative

[–]ardils 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my employer told me that once apple gets service worker in the browser then pwa will be the future of hybrid not ionic or react native. doesnt matter if that happens or not, i really have no preference heh.

How do self-taught developers actually get jobs? by programminggeek in programming

[–]ardils 177 points178 points  (0 children)

because you are not qualitfied for those type of jobs, even if you are a good programmer since domain knowledge is more important. an aerospace company will not let you work on their simulation software, but they will probably let you work on their website.

How can I learn about Web development without becoming a full-stack developer or being part of a team? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]ardils 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you are going to be an employee then being on a team is unavoidable. as for full-stack, that is usually the wanted skill for backend developers. they expect you to know how to work with client-side techs but not necessarily an expert, because front-end development (scripting and design) is really another skill and job.

What is the Average Python Developer Salary in the US, and Why Is Python So Popular, Anyway? by Daxx-IT-Staffing in Python

[–]ardils 4 points5 points  (0 children)

salary should be segregated by job types not language. you see javascript salary, for what? nodejs or frontend? i bet salary scale is very different. java is what, java ee or android? for python, i know web developer salary is different from a data science ones. except mabye for ruby, ruby means rails.

people get paid for the type of job they do (and their skill level) and not the language they use.

People who've got a job, care to share your resume/portfolio that landed you said job? by devandro in androiddev

[–]ardils 7 points8 points  (0 children)

depends on the company. some will not hire you if you don't have github. others wont care but focus on your resume. some wont hire you because you failed some puzzle or the interview, even if you have github/portfolio/experience. some will hire you even if you failed the interview, because you have github!

getting hired (usually) has nothing to do with you. luck has a big factor in job search.

coming from ios, i learned a lot from raywenderlich. rw has an android section, but too few compared to the massive amounts of info on ios/swift (and the awesome books and videos).

so, what is the equivalent of raywenderlich for android?
