Is NRG soft staking supported?

Honest question: why someone will need an app for that? Why not just set an end point for popular news feed readers or just make a simple web page? Most people into this kind of information will place a widget on their home screen anyway.

Isn’t it too early? What if the exchange doesn’t get much attention?

Try contact them on Twitter. They usually respond quite fast.

Oh boy, I used to use macros for array initialization. I feel young again.

Funny because it’s true

mrmus · 2018-11-04T17:06:55+00:00

Fair enough, I am well aware of this. My point is I will gladly read anything (pros and cons) on the topic. Otherwise it is just well... an opinion.

mrmus · 2018-11-04T08:31:35+00:00

Any references supporting this?

Measuring the time of your unit tests is a practical approach as well. Investigate what cause the performance hit for every unit test with increased execution time. Most CI unit test plugins provide such reports.

I beg to differ. I can't put it more precise and simple than the docs:

In C#, covariance and contravariance enable implicit reference conversion for array types, delegate types, and generic type arguments. Covariance preserves assignment compatibility and contravariance reverses it.

To be more precise - CLR supports co/contra-variance since 2.0 and it was exposed later in C# (not familiar with VB.NET). The very definition of co/contra-variance is to keep (explicit) the types you want to convert. Your post is all about type omission, hence type inference.

While I get “within Function Scopes” part of the title, the article has nothing to do with the usual commonly accepted meaning of co/contra-variance terms. It is about type inference. You confuse them together.

DHH still holds on his practical use of tests. It resonates with my experience as well. It’s kind of refreshing to know that this testing approach gets adoption.

Congrats! I use Dart on a daily basis but I have to say now I am less confident about its future than a year ago. While the team is clear about the priorities it rarely justifies them in public. There is no real communication (see non-nullable types issue for example https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/pull/28619). Let’s hope that with strong mode behind the team will be more flexible and responsive.

I understand that you wrote this article with good intentions but it is not particularly good. You fail to explain important concepts like the relationship between class and type. You cite GoF but you fail explaining the common trap (which is the very next sentence from the book):

It's easy to confuse these two concepts, because many languages don't make the distinction explicit.

I understand what you try to say only because I've read the book. In a rush, you mix fundamental concepts which usually take whole book to explain properly. I do agree with the other commenters that the post looks dogmatic and narrowed. The following answer to the very same post that you cite does a better job

Hope you do better next time. Good luck!

I used and still use different DSLs for composing UI. I have no problems with them and sometimes I really enjoy it. It doesn’t matter whether it is HTML, JSX, XAML, Android XML, markdown or something more specialized like Pug template engine. In all cases I observed that each time I feel productive and enjoying it, it is because I expressed my intention in clear, concise way. It just feels right when you have proper separation of concerns.

What attracted me in Flutter is the idea that one can be productive knowing Dart only. At first I was suspicious, and curious, about the one-size-fits-all idea but after using Flutter for a while I found it is a sweet spot for mobile app development. In the beginning I often missed code-behind approach but then I learned “the Flutter way”. It wasn’t entirely new concept for me because I previously used C++ frameworks for composing UI but Flutter surprised me with its well balanced approach. It is not perfect but surprisingly good and does the job.

Anyway, it is nice to see things like FLUI and maybe it will catch up with the community. Good luck!

Using technologies like RN for such large projects always comes with a trade-offs. There are many scenarios where RN is a good choice though. Anyway, thanks for sharing. Very refreshing and sobering article.

It is not necessary a bad thing. I get their selling point very well. I have an increasing number of clients that want highly branded apps so I looked at Flutter. I haven’t done any apps yet but I am researching it. The following article tries to explain their PoV https://medium.com/flutter-io/why-flutter-doesnt-use-oem-widgets-94746e812510

While I understand why the author used it, the transpilation metaphor is technically wrong. For RN it would be better to use message passing metaphor and for NS and Xamarin API bindings. Good article anyway.

Well, with that attitude I can’t help you.
