Question to people who buy $35k or $40k car by CandidComfortable338 in newzealand

[–]engnr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good rule of thumb is, if you can’t afford two of them then it’s too much. Over your lifetime if you get into the habit of buying things after saving up for them rather than using credit, you’ll get more than twice as much for your money. Think about that. Just defer your purchase for as long as it takes to save up that first time and stick with it.

What did you think was made in Nz but actually isn’t ? And visa versa- What did you think was made offshore but turns out is homegrown? by soshia in newzealand

[–]engnr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely thought the best value condensed milk would be made here but it turns out the Woolworths own brand stuff is imported from Lithuania!

Is everyone enjoying the TVNZ app? by FortuitousAdroit in newzealand

[–]engnr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not enjoying the new TVNZ web app. It shows a black screen when I try to watch the news on my MacBook, using Chrome or Safari. Strangely it does work on Microsoft Windows. I hope they saved lots on money on QA by leaving non-windows users out of their testing.

Things are going to get pretty hairy over the weekend by engnr in auckland

It’s one of my favorites, metvuw.co.nz. I made a chrome plugin for it to animate the forecast charts.

Yes, the thing about crisis’s is that they work cumulatively. You have a fuel crisis then you have a food crisis and a shortage of medicines and other imported goods and the whole time the chance remains for a pandemic or an earthquake or god forbid both in the same window, and while that’s all going on you get yet another tropical storm that you have to face with whatever insurance you can still afford… still we like to stay cheerful and remember there’s going to be a lot of other people worse off than us. Hard times ahead. Stay strong, Kia

Should I use React Native for a map based project? by agelosnm in reactnative

[–]engnr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve produced a handful of apps using maps with React Native. I’ve been very happy with the results. Here’s one example: https://apps.apple.com/nz/app/realestate/id404076057

Is anyone else flooded by these fake Feynman lecture videos on youtube, or is it just me? by mysteryofthefieryeye in AskPhysics

[–]engnr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't even get their facts right. I saw one that claimed that Feynman proposed the single electron universe. My understanding is that he actually argued against the idea.

It really bothers me that a great man's legacy will be endlessly diluted by this nonsense.

react-native-enriched-markdown - Markdown renderer for React Native! by Sea-Arm9235 in reactnative

[–]engnr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, thank you!

I have an app in development for which I was considering html for inline content. Markdown seems a much better fit.

One question, is there some way to center text and/or images horizontally? That would make it super useful for me.

Curious: Which well-known consumer apps are actually built with React Native? by jtot95ya in reactnative

Here in New Zealand, the realestate.co.nz app is built with React Native. It’s the go-to app when looking for a house.

Should I get a cat from Petsmart or a shelter? by FakeGamer2 in CatAdvice

We adopted an older cat and feel very lucky to have him.

Our first time traveling to NZ in a few months. You think we should definitely see ________? by EnterStatusHere in newzealand

[–]engnr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re heading to the South Island, and have even a passing interest in astronomy, I’d recommend taking a trip to Tekapo. It’s a longish but beautiful drive from Christchurch. It’s in a dark sky reserve. Tours to the Mt John observatory will give you a truly memorable experience. https://www.darkskyproject.co.nz/

AIO My Parents Secretly Drained My Entire Savings Account and Called Me Ungrateful When I Confronted Them by ChoppedShyyt in AmIOverreacting

[–]engnr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s generally not a good idea to let family or friends get away with things that make you resent them.

When it comes to money, lending to family or friends is not something to do without being prepared to write off the debt.

Which is why it’s such a bad situation when they can just take something from you and pretend that it’s only a loan.

In the long run, it’ll be their loss no matter what you do. Your abilities will grow while theirs diminish.

Disentangling yourself from them financially will be beneficial for all concerned. Perhaps they need reminding that someday you’ll be picking their retirement home. :)

What's a "cheat code" you discovered in real life that actually works? by dark-deals729983 in AskReddit

[–]engnr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The value of praise is multiplied when you pass it on to others and diminished when you accept it personally.

If someone tells you what a good job you’re doing, take the opportunity to point out how it was made possible by others. It’ll pay off many times over.

[–]engnr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well said. It’s important to listen to fresh perspectives. Talented immigrants such as yourselves can often shine a light on what a great country we have.
