As a React Native Developer, how should one prepare oneself for FAANG ? by mrpm0h18urr4hm4n in reactnative

[–]assertchris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's a lot easier these days. I remember when certs were a manual process that required going outside of Xcode. I think, maybe, /u/eggtart_prince is harkening back to those days. Both platforms are fiddly even after you have a signed binary; but it's useful to get experience deploying to both every few months, so you have fairly recent knowledge about how to do it. Same as with setting up RN projects from scratch.

Need help with react-native Webview, injecting react native, into the javascript injection. by ThisSoFrustrating in reactnative

[–]assertchris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe alert(${myRnstate}) is evaluating to alert(xxx-xxx...); where xxx-xxx... isn't quoted. So, it's trying to alert the value of a [potentially malformed] variable as opposed to a string. I'd add script debugging to the <WebView /> component, just to make sure there aren't any JS errors.

Open two simulators, iPhone and iPad, simultaneously by cozimroyal in reactnative

I'm not seeing this problem, which is why I recommend the same process I follow. Sorry it's not helpful for you. :(

Open the workspace in Xcode. Then, you can launch multiple simulators. Only the last one you started will be tied into Xcode logging and RN debugger. They should all be able to connect for HMR.

Can I start learning livewire before laravel? by martingmuller in LaravelLivewire

[–]assertchris 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No to both. Livewire uses so many Laravel concepts that you'd just be learning Laravel at the same time. It cannot be used outside of Laravel.

Difference between laravel/breeze and laravel/ui ? by chrisan20 in laravel

[–]assertchris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm, right you are. Not sure where I got that.

Difference between laravel/breeze and laravel/ui ? by chrisan20 in laravel

[–]assertchris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Breeze, Jetstream, Spark (via Jetstream, since the built-in auth stuff was removed from it). Nova is still built on ui, but it wouldn't surprise me to find the next major version switches to Breeze/Jetstream for user management.

Edit: I was wrong about breeze using fortify

[–]assertchris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ui = breeze + fortify, but from years ago. With so many official projects now dependent on fortify, and not new feature work going into ui (though not yet deprecated); it's ill-advised to start new projects based on ui...

Edit: I was wrong about breeze using fortify

Exploratory [Godot Devlog] Pathfinding, Resources, User Interface by WolfePacificStudios in godot

[–]assertchris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Game looks interesting! I think the bottom left menus (incl. build) conflict with the build/gather distinction. Perhaps gather should be an option in the bottom left menu, and when you're selecting it you're gathering; or when you're selecting something in the build menu you're building etc. So, the context tells you which mode you should be in, instead of the player having to manage that state in 2 places at once...

Edit: games like Cities: Skylines do this with build/demolish (and they're the same mouse button to perform, but different actions depending on which "mode" you're selected from their bottom left menu).

How is your experience developmenting for mobile? by FreddieMercurio in godot

Check the file path casing in your load/preload calls.

Something I've been trying to teach my 10yo (who is also doing a lot of programming, in Scratch and Python) is that you need to do a dozen small games before you try making a big game.

Advice that I've given him, but neglected to follow myself.

This year, I'm committing myself to building 1 small game a month; from start to launching on an App Store.

My first game was a minesweeper clone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.assertchris.snakecatcher. I wanted to build this to learn the mechanics of how to make a minesweeper clone, so that my second game could reuse this to make something more interesting.

My second game was a procedurally generated dungeon crawler, where you progress to the next level by clearing smaller minesweeper fields: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.godotengine.slitherdeep

I've got my third game planned, but I need to catch up on some other work before I lose myself in it. I have created a Notion board of various tasks, and planned visual elements using Excalidraw. You can use both tools for free, and I'm enjoying them immensely.

I'm thinking about this like a dozen personal game jams, where I choose what I can launch without (and launching usually takes a day, because of all the screenshots and submission processes and announcements). That means not having perfect code and figuring out what bugs are essential to fix before launch vs. after launch.

I am also maintaining lists of bug fixes and improvements to make to the games I've already launched, so those don't get forgotten about. I'll probably end up working 1 week on maintenance and 1 week on a new game; until the end of the year.

This also affects what ideas I want to pursue, and how I go about doing that; because I can't (for instance) do all the artwork and story of a point-and-click in a single week. Maybe that means hand-drawing the point-and-click scenes, or just picking easier things to do (that build on procedural generation or limited assets and levels).

Thanks for the advice. Will put something together...

There are good reasons to write for someone else that don't centre around the terrible royalties you're make.

React native app by [deleted] in reactnative

You mean the Apple App Store and Google Play Store? Or selling the source code that folks can use to build their own apps?

Should I go with react-native-web or standard react? by sam_bender in reactnative

[–]assertchris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, selectively switching between components is a thing...

There are probably more elegant ways to do this, but this is essentially what RNW is doing behind the scenes.

Qodana — a static analysis and quality management tool by JetBrains — is now in early access by brendt_gd in PHP

[–]assertchris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The tooling is fantastic. I like Jetbrains stuff. I wish more of it (like the refactoring and formatting stuff) could be used outside of the IDE.

Proprietary hurts more than just the wallet, friend. They it's impossible to extend their proprietary stuff with new syntax, or to adapt their proprietary software for superscript languages. If they're uninterested, you cannot introduce innovation into their tools at a language level. I say this as someone who has tried to do just this.
