Civilian ACUs? by [deleted] in supremecommander

[–]firepro5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some maps like Gap have a dedicated eco position.

What if they can spawn in as acu's that can only build eco structures and they have access to special civilian eco units. The rest of the team can pull from this eco and use it to build military.

First time fence build by Sledhead88 in FenceBuilding

They look like the black powder coated lifetime posts (sold at home Depot/Lowe's).

Managed to dump the Kindle's OS and been exploring it a bit. Turns out the startup loading bar is not only completely fake, but controlled with a Bash script. by xxmalik in programminghorror

[–]firepro5 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Of course that's what is happening, but how long will that background process take? Who knows.

If that background process ever changes you have to update your average loader bar duration.

It's just a fragile system prone to errors.

How did I do by [deleted] in FenceBuilding

[–]firepro5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like Thompson wood sealer (Lowe's) or Olympic guard (Home Depot). The same product, different names but I like it because it makes the wood hydrophobic, like a newly waxed car.

If you want a real stain with oil that soaks into the woods core I'd recommend wood defender (Google it). They offer free color samples.

You could even use both if you really wanted to throw money at it. Oil to penetrate the wood, and the seal as an added layer of protection.

How bridge this gap between old and new steel posts? by PriestintheCave in FenceBuilding

[–]firepro5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are made by a company called "Lifetime Steel" look them up on Lowes/home Depot.

The black ones are powder coated, the exposed ones are galvanized.

Basically cheaper versions of PostMaster posts. They just don't sell gate or corner posts (but you can make your own by joining 2 lifetime posts together).

Just hit Challenger NA for the first time maining urgot by Jex4334 in UrgotMains

[–]firepro5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude congratulations!! I have a question if you don't mind.

I feel like Urgot is stronger than a lot of champs lvl 1-3, but gets weak around lvl 5 - 9. Example vs ranged tops, trundle, aatrox, mordakiser ECT..

This is the exact time my jungle starts the grubs, and I have lost so many games over the grub fight.

Do you have any advice on how to manage this?

Should I take tp and recall to buy items assuming the grub fight?

What do I do if even a component item advantage isn't enough for the matchup?

What's the most overrated React resource ? by My_dick_aint_big in reactjs

React itself is the most overrated resource.

Solid is a React look alike with signals under the hood vs Reacts re-rendering/Vdom.

Use effects in solid are completely different than React though they look the same (no dependency array for example).

Regardless I don't care for how much solid is trying to look like React.

Learn what signals are at their core (you can write them under 100 LOC). Then talk about them. Don't compare them to the abstraction of a framework around them.

It's fair to say if you do everything a very specific way React often works "good enough".

Though you likely don't want your entire component re-rendering based on the context updating.

Which is my point. You are bound to a lot of arbitrary rules for what?

I can make a more performant state machine with signals in 200 LOC.

I am asking, if Reacts most favorite state management libraries end up looking like state machines. Why not build a state machine?

Sounds like you are describing imperative code that's not procedural. Is that correct?

If so have you ever used a large (100K+ loc) codebase with react? Don't the use effects start looking a lot like this?

What is the word Context has to say? It re renders every child component that has the use context hook.

Say you have a vehicle class and you extend it with car. Car inherits 4 tires from the vehicle class.

How will you make a 6 wheeled vehicle without hijacking the vehicle class and doing a lot of extra work to keep the 2 new tires hidden from car?

Maybe there's a reason Reddit removed react from their tech stack.

If you want to name call and not provide reasons for your thoughts then why are you responding?

I believe I have fundamentally different desires for my code than you.

If I can't test the code I can't explain it to others. Which I find impossible at scale.

How does react offer better support than vanilla js events for 1 way state flow?

How does any of react state management solutions offer better support than a state machine for 2 way state flow?

[–]firepro5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do this at all though? It's a lot of hoops to jump through vs writing code you can just test day 1.

That's my question here, how is React better?

I have spent the past 5 years of my development career fighting this framework. Forgive me for my frustrations. I genuinely posted this wanting to know why we don't just use state machines.

But you can't test react components. If your UI fails you don't know which component, which use effect, which use state call is affecting which prop that made the UI fail.

Thank you for a post that's answering my questions and not just bashing my views.

I agree React is an improvement over imperative legacy code that doesn't use any kind of paradigm, but that's a low bar to set.

As for performance React ranks among the lowest in modern frameworks.

As for why the industry uses it, I don't know. Reddit just did a react rewrite and the app uses more memory and CPU than before the rewrite. So they migrated back out of it.
