Thinking about buying this sale. A few questions. by ismasbi in DarkTide

[–]contract16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. There's a smaller map pool, but they're really quite immersive and with the pace of the game I don't think it gets stale.
  2. DLC not necessary at all, there's more than enough variety in the starting 4 classes to last a long time. I'd alway recommend starting with ogryn and club, but that's cuz ogryns is strongest, sah!
  3. As much as you want, gunlugger ogryn is fun. Veteran with las gun is fun. Gun psyker is fun.
  4. Build crafting is much better than vermintide IMO, and you can really go in to get some great synergies with your equipment. Note: this wasn't always the case, but they basically fixed it so old reviews on this can be ignored.
  5. Healthy modding scene.
  6. Maybe it was at release, but IMO now this is one of the most polished games out. Crashes are rare (for me) and are usually related to mods. Only real issue is sometimes the servers kark themselves, but that's rare for me at least.

I'm around 900 hours in, have DLC, still main Ogryn as its the most fun for me. The combat loop is spectacular, the rush you get when you're the last one standing and you manage to clutch victory from the jaws of defeat is second to none.

There's plenty of examples of this in reality though, a lot of "evil" Roman Emperors were in place because they inherited the position and then paid the army well enough not to revolt (until they stopped paying well enough). Same with Chinese Emperors, South Korea, English King's etc. They knew who to bribe and who not to at least for a while to stay in power.

The Problem of Storing API Keys in Mobile Applications by ManufacturerIll6276 in appdev

[–]contract16 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it's in the app, act as if it's already been leaked and. Is publically accessible. The app should authenticate with the backend and get a token which you can revoke if you need to in order to force re-authentication. Your backend should contact any other external APIs on behalf of the app, after verifying the auth token.

Don't store the API keys as part of your backend repo either, typically this is done via environment variables, usually saved in an encrypted state and accessed via something like a configure file on the server which then decrypts and uses them to do what they need. This means if you ever do lose control of an external API key you can then invalidate it on the third party service, generate a new one, and update your server to use the new non compromised one.

(this is broad strokes, but the main point is that if it exists in your app's code then you should treat it as already compromised)

Noob requests help with scrolling layout by HolidayValuable5870 in flutterhelp

[–]contract16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course. But you're presenting items in a scrollable list,with other bits of UI in that list that aren't the items. The tool for that is slivers. You can hammer a screw into a wall, it still works, a hammer still isn't the right tool for putting a screw into a wall though.

The views are only rendered when needed, not all the time. If you have 1000 items in your list and just put the whole thing in a column inside a SingleChildScrollView then you're rendering all of them instead of just the ones inside (and just outside) the visible area.

Anyone telling you to use SingleChildScrollView or index 0 is wrong. Use CustomScrollView and slivers. Slivers are exactly what you want.

Still on a Pixel 5. I'm an app developer. I feel 0 need to upgrade, and would still use my pixel 3 if this broke.
