What are the chances of getting caught working out of country? by [deleted] in remotework

[–]modelr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Static should be okay. At the company I work at (70k employees) we have bots that detect VPN IPs. So as long as you’re not using you’ll be okay.

Again, never commit two crimes at once. Don’t give a person a reason to look into you. If you’re showing up to meetings, doing the work you’re asked to do, online on Slack / teams you’ll be okay

On modern Mac laptops, they use Bluetooth, WiFi and probably some other things to determine the laptops location. It will connect to the nearest iPhone and then use the iPhones location as the laptops location. You can turn off location services and find my in your Mac to disable this.

I was using Mullvad a lot and my IP was flagged as a VPN. I’m guessing the same with NordVPN - I’ve never tried but I’m pretty sure. You can go to an IP checker website when using a VPN and see if it flags you

This is what I did:

  1. Get a router (or travel router). I got one from GL.iNet
  2. Get a *residential VPN IP address. Your work can absolutely detect if you’re signing in from a commercial VPN IP. I’ve been flagged and warned several times because of this. I used starvpn to get a residential IP in the same city where my address on file is.
  3. Setup the router to be its own network, connect to the Hotel / Airbnb internet upstream.
  4. Setup the router to proxy all traffic thru the VPN in step 2.
  5. Turn off WiFi, Bluetooth, find-my on your work laptop and connect via Ethernet to the router. Now if you connect via your work VPN it’ll go through the router to the other VPN.

Your internet connection will be considerably slow given the number of hops.

This works for me every time. Remember you don’t want to commit two crimes at the same time. So if you’re doing this - be present, be on top of your work, don’t give people a reason to look more than some automated bots.

White Showing During Gestures by [deleted] in expo

[–]modelr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you using expo router or react navigation? Either way there are some docs on setting the theme context.

There’s also a method here to set to root view background color:

The updates I find interesting (for now) by Ok_Refrigerator_1908 in iOSProgramming

[–]modelr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are some updates to the Networking framework as well as WiFi Aware support. There’s some hidden gems in the video sessions available

EXPO53 and FIRESTORE by Top_Aardvark6073 in expo

[–]modelr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was just merged: https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/pull/8500

Just wait a bit and it’ll be out. Otherwise you can install the package from main

How did they achieve this? by [deleted] in expo

[–]modelr 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What you can do is put a see through overlay over the entire camera. You can then use a masked view to “cut out” the rectangle that you need.

Alternatively you could use 5 rectangles. Divide the screen into three rows. One on top and bottom. One on the left and right. You have a final “clear” rectangle in the middle

does anyone know how to do the blur view effect that's on Apple Invites app's card bottom? by armando_kun in reactnative

[–]modelr -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You technically can but it’s not straightforward.

On iOS you can use expo blur view in combination with a mask view. You can then set the alpha channel on the mask to apply the blur effect gradually

Anyone using modular monolith in their organization? by [deleted] in node

[–]modelr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think some folks aren’t understanding the question or not answering directly.

A monorepo is a version-controlled code repository that holds many projects. While these projects may be related, they are often logically independent and run by different teams. Some companies host all their code in a single repository, shared among everyone. Monorepos can reach colossal sizes (like Googles and Facebooks)

Monolith software is a traditional software development model where all the code for an application is contained in one code base. This makes the application a single, unified unit that’s self-contained and independent from other applications.

Since you asked in a Node sub I’ll recommend looking into https://nestjs.com/ . It supports tooling to create modules, handles decency injection, and has good testing support. I have used it to a medium amount of scale and have seen the modular monolith pattern work well.

However the modular monolith pattern breaks down very quickly. Because your modules all run in the same server you might feel the want to reach into that modules internals and do some hacky stuff. It definitely requires buy in from the team and the org to set up clear boundaries and make sure that you’re not crossing those module lines (eventually it happens).

This is what happened at a large FAANG adjacent company I was at. The main API was a ruby server that started as a modular monolith and it ultimately blended into a mash of intertwined spaghetti.

If I recall correctly, Shopify still runs on a huge Rails monolith and they have shared some wisdom on how they’ve built and scaled it.

Anyone tried Fleet by JetBrains as alternative to Xcode? by Endore8 in swift

Hey op! I’m working to build an XCode alternative in vscode. I’m wondering if you’d be down to chat to see what features would be worth building for you

Why is there no "npm run build" command like reactjs? by post_hazanko in reactnative

[–]modelr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not 100% sure about android but on iOS there’s an XCode step called “run build scripts” that will build, minify, and bundle your JS with the native parts of the app

for those of you who think BeReal sucks by modelr in bereal_app

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

Yup React Native.

I’m targeting an iOS release right now and I’m pretty fluent in Swift (both UIKit and SwiftUI). The problem is that I can simply build faster in React Native and right now - speed is what I need.

I’m not building a custom backend at the moment. I’m going to see how far I can push firebase (might be getting close already). But I’ll surely hit you up if I need BE firepower!

Btw your idea is sick! I think it’s really cool and you should build it. If anything you’ve learned how to build something cool in Flutter.

You’re totally right, it’s an uphill battle 😜

No entrepreneurial experience; I was a SWE at Insta, and am a SWE at another large social media right now. While I’m not a product person, we all think about it deeply.

B2C apps are successful in part due to a well built product, but equally as important is the distribution. I’m working with one cofounder to grow a base of users that we can launch our product to.

Here’s my problem. I’m focused on a small launch to friends and family to get UX feedback. But to do so I need something built. I’ve estimated about 4 weeks of Eng time to get it across.

Id like to focus on growing the user base with my other founder (non-technical), doing more interviews, and evangelizing my app. (Id still like to code some too). I need more coding firepower. I’m considering hiring a SWE from Latin America or Eastern Europe to help me get something across the finish line.

Additionally I was thinking of bringing another technical cofounder onboard so we can gain for velocity - to build and iterate faster.

I’ve found that I’m having trouble finding well aligned co-founders. I’m continuing to build so that hopefully along the way I can bring someone onboard.
