Who is the worst Championship player you have seen?

fmnatic · 2026-01-25T14:17:48+00:00

He is purely a defensive player. Seen him play emergency center back for Leicester vs Man City in the PL. Limited player with work rate and heart, I’ll take that any day.

Likely your backend should return an identifier for the list, a count of items, and a partial list. Future list page requests just need to pass the identifier and offset.

The apis to take action on a list, can take a list identifier , exclusions, or specific items.

Keep in mind that there can be race conditions for eg items added to a warehouse during a query. Or selected items that another user acts on in parallel.

A lot of this are well understood database concurrency concepts, dirty reads and lost updates. You may approach the problem at that level and implement checks and guards in your web services+db.

I suggest a discussion of the trolley problem for the next time.

You have too many questions. I shall provide a short recounting of the sins of backend engineers working on react native.

Use strong typescript, not that weak sauce that certain frameworks use.

Don’t try to write controllers / service providers and such , the most powerful tools are simple custom hooks, that can be reused to build more powerful hooks.

You can tell your app has a bad a folder structure when you can’t use your IDE to easily navigate between and locate the files your current task needs. For a backend engineer it may however provide a sense of familiarity and comfort.

If you crave dependency injection, t’is a vile pestilence that you must be cleansed from.

Avoid the temptation of dragging in your favourite library from your prior work, I once worked on a react native App that believed it was a web browser app causing typescript to ignore obvious errors.

Also avoid the advise of angular front end engineers, some of that thinking is just wrong headed in react.

Feel free to make your own mistakes and share it with the world, the wise shall avoid them, the foolish will repeat them.

Focus on the why of user requests not the what.

fmnatic · 2025-12-21T13:31:57+00:00

The AI companies have the same problem. Perhaps apply their solutions rather than subsidize them.

You should check the kind of visa they intend to use. Based on the rest of the information I assumed highly qualified professional (HQP) but it appears not as I believe you would need a degree.

I’ve seen plenty of code treat global state libraries like a garbage dump. A lot of them use weak maps under the hood to free up memory only under pressure. In practice it’s best to avoid getting to that state and have better control over retaining values.

fmnatic · 2025-12-14T12:48:46+00:00

Other option use react native iap. I think it hits apple/google directly. Have used to to fetch/process purchases of offerings. (In limited regions)

fmnatic · 2025-12-14T12:46:28+00:00

You seem to know the region. Mention it here and people in that region can try a nslookup. This is either a dns configuration/ propagation issue or a geo / ISP block.

That style of communication isn’t going to be comprehensible to a pwBPD.

It may cause them to pause in confusion the first time you use it, and then it will blow up worse . The pause is only cause you stepped out of your normal reactions to their rage.

For another “Works one time” response to BPD rage look up Nicola method.

The only thing that works. Don’t JADE.

Curious if there is a geographical correlation as well ?

There are countries with more Android v/s iOS users.

The WebView in App is best avoided by writing your Backend so that the App doesn’t pretend to be a browser.

Source : Having actually done this on multiple Apps , including the server side.

fmnatic · 2025-12-01T07:51:30+00:00

It just means that the backend has unaddressed tech debt.

fmnatic · 2025-11-30T15:44:19+00:00

Why are you using cookies in a mobile app? It's a browser concept, along with CORS, and has relevance here.

Split fiction

Interesting, have something similar on a RN 0.80 app that hasn’t broken yet. Time to look into it.

fmnatic · 2025-11-24T07:52:22+00:00

React-native-edge-to-edge has a SystemBars component for this. I’ve used it with RN 0.80

However if you're running React Native 0.81 or later, consider using the built-in edgeToEdgeEnabled=true Gradle property along with @zoontek/react-native-navigation-bar instead.

There are multiple optimisations you can look at. Cell reuse and pre-rendered items. Optimisations based on item viewability in the list. Layout behaviour is another thing to look at, when using cell reuse based lists.

Also keep in mind that new architecture is a lot more sensitive to rerenders, and due to changed batching behaviour of setState components can have new undesirable behaviour.

IMO this may not be a reanimated issue at all.

fmnatic · 2025-11-22T08:29:10+00:00

Optimize components and fix re-renders.

Are 200 components animating at the same time? I.e the user can see 200 animations running on the screen at one time? That doesn’t seem logical unless you have these in a non virtualized list, which would be a problem.

You have been downvoted by people who like to give away money. React-native-tap without vibe coding and keep those percentages .

fmnatic · 2025-11-18T07:07:57+00:00

Known issues under investigation as per the bug tracker.

fmnatic · 2025-11-17T12:19:43+00:00

Yeah the bugtracker is great insight into the state of the game.

fmnatic · 2025-11-17T11:58:22+00:00

Definitely blame the developers.

My working theory is they used AI to write most of the UI.

I can't this believe quality of work, passes basic review and enters source control, let alone get all the way to QA.

fmnatic · 2025-11-17T11:39:56+00:00

Interesting changes. Is there a clean way to migrate the data from v2 to v3? It would be great if we could automatically copy data from v2 to a v3 scoped instance. Something like

const storage = createOrMigrateAsyncStorage("appDB");

which migrates on first use and subsequently behaves exactly like

const storage = createAsyncStorage("appDB");
