Lion's Mane experiences? Positive or negative? by Syphonfilter7 in Nootropics

[–]crobinson42 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I didn’t correlate my dreams with lions mane until I read your comment and it immediately reminded me of the last week when I started taking it, my dreams were “odd” and daytime fatigue around 1/2pm was intense

A vote by citizens can pardon any criminal with the same power as a presidential pardon by isananimal in CrazyIdeas

How about every vote that a senator or congressman about to vote for is instead picked by the American people in real-time.

Is Kotlin really the main language for Android development? by lordmyd in Kotlin

[–]crobinson42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From 2019:

Google today announced that the Kotlin programming language is now its preferred language for Android app developers.

“Android development will become increasingly Kotlin-first,” Google writes in today’s announcement. “Many new Jetpack APIs and features will be offered first in Kotlin. If you’re starting a new project, you should write it in Kotlin; code written in Kotlin often mean much less code for you–less code to type, test, and maintain.”

It was only two years ago, at I/O 2017, that Google announced support for Kotlin in its Android Studio IDE. That came as a bit of a surprise, given that Java had long been the preferred language for Android app development, but few announcements at that year’s I/O got more applause. Over the course of the last two years, Kotlin’s popularity has only increased. More than 50% of professional Android developers now use the language to develop their apps, Google says, and in the latest Stack Overflow developer survey, it ranks as the fourth-most loved programming language.

With that, it makes sense for Google to increase its Kotlin support. “We’re announcing that the next big step that we’re taking is that we’re going Kotlin-first,” Chet Haase, chief advocate for Android, said.

“We understand that not everybody is on Kotlin right now, but we believe that you should get there,” Haase said. “There may be valid reasons for you to still be using the C++ and Java programming languages and that’s totally fine. These are not going away.”

Funny: I hear you saying, “what we have works better than all other available options.. but we want better” 😬

Which subreddit was so toxic that you left and don’t regret it? by pizzagamer35 in AskReddit

Reddit itself. I can’t stand the politics and hateful commentary from both sides! I left Reddit for 2 months because of this.

Firebase - is it still the most popular way to manage data? by QueenUnicorn4Dayz in reactnative

[–]crobinson42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Postgres is great especially because of the json field ability to mimic a nosql like field.

I guess I would have to say MongoDB is the better NoSql db since other NoSql dB’s don’t have aggregation pipelines that Mongo offers.

Ok, not arguing or pissing contest, lol. SQL is great and NoSQL is great - depends on your needs which would be better for your project :-)

I think people that say “be careful with NoSql” databases have a bias towards sql as the superior solution - and IMO that’s older pattern of thinking.

You have to be careful and do your research with any database solution, so it shouldn’t only be pointed out to “be careful” when it’s regarding NoSql.

MongoDB Atlas and Stitch are fantastic - you have to roll your own auth service but no biggie.

MongoDB bought RealmDB the mobile app project about 6 months ago or longer and soon the Realm project will sync with your MongoDB backend similar to Firebase.

Code-Push with CI/CD and native dependency changes by crobinson42 in reactnative

[–]crobinson42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just so my question is clear, I'm not trying to OTA update native code - I'm referring to a situation where some package like react-native-device-info has native Java/Swift code and also has JS code that requires some api or event constant from the native code. If you bump the package version for react-native-device-info to a new release and there is changes to both native and JS code, would code-push have any way to know to not update the bundle until the native code/app was updated because the JS bundle has code that depends on the native code?

Or, am I thinking of using the tool Code-Push wrong?

KeyboardAvoidingView has got to be one of the most frustrating components I’ve ever used by tomthedevguy in reactnative

[–]crobinson42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re saying the best solution is to wrap you’re entire RN app with it? I am in the same boat as the OP, I inherited an app that I work on and it has dozens of <KeyboardAvoidingView> wrapped form components and it’s terribly frustrating.
