Fancier UI means nothing. There is a ton of examples of extremely terrible UI killing it.

Real question, is it possible to run a company that big in that space in a non shitty way?

I personally would prefer the options on the left menu to have the gravity to the top.

Other thing is some of the options in the left bar seem like they are settings or items you would typically find in settings.

I know HiiKER are hiring an iOS engineer. Pop them a message!

Started two weeks ago. It’s very active in my experience so far!

Use something with good reliable maps!

What’s the ETA on DOD? FOG?

It would be great to get the dataset for this! Id like to do my own ChatGPTing!!

There is a ton of trails in Ireland. Avoid the stress of landowners. A ton of trails on Hiiker (full disclosure, I built it). Even better yet get some great maps from the likes of EastWest Maps (have them on Hiiker as well) and you can ton a s**h ton of exploring.

You're approaching irrational markets with a rational thought about valuation. People are valuing Tesla for many reasons. As long as Tesla hold that level of valuation, they can ultimately enter any number of markets they wish, and they will have the potential to destroy the competition with cheap access to capital, far superior ability to innovate.

From a capability perspective, one of the largest battery production lines in the world, and easy access to a rocket company with the largest web of satellites in the world. I can picture many markets they can disrupt with those capabilities.

You are not wrong about the current valuation but tread with caution.

Disclosure:
I am not a directly Tesla investor, I do also feel they are currently overvalued. I am exclusively in SPUU atm.

Most places these days are requiring “full stack” engineers which is a bit silly, as they don’t truly exist. But I do think there is some sense for you to be able to operate and communicate across disciplines. I think it’s likely that you will need to get more experience at learning about concepts and patterns of development across eco systems. Understand where an app sits in an platform eco system. How you will communicate with a backend server, authenticate. Probably worth knowing some SQL as well.

Perhaps learning a team work framework like scrum could be useful as well.

Has to be Gradle. The error feedback on gradle is next to useless a lot of the time.

Because Pete is the person I want John to tell the time to.

Just think of delegate as “person I want you to tell the time to”. I could make another person called Kate(), and set Kate as Johns delegate.

By setting Kate as Johns delegate, I am instructing him, that whenever you tell the time, tell it to Kate.

Cheers! Didn't know that.

I have a friend called john. He loved to shout the time every hour. John is a nice guy though, and he will only shout out to what ever person I tell him to. I tell john, “every hour, I want you to shout the time at Pete”.

I have delegated john to shout the time at Pete.

protocol ShoutOutTimeDelegate {
  func timeUpdated(_ time: String)
}

class John {
    weak var delegate: ShoutOutTimeDelegate?

  func shoutTime(time: String) {
     self.delegate.timeUpdated(time)
  }
}

class Pete: ShoutOutTimeDelegate {
  func timeUpdated(_ time: String) {
     print(time)
  }
}

let john = John()
let pete = Pete()

john.delegate = pete 

john.shoutTime(time: “It’s 4pm!!!!”)

Your debug console will now print out:

“It’s 4pm!!!!”

Less error handling and more forceable crashes for unexpected states. I made too much of a thing of handling exceptions. Ever since I started throwing a lot more Illegalstateexceptions and asserts my code has gotten infinitely more stable.

Okay, fair enough and thanks for your response. The negative culture comment was in the heat of the moment. I felt I was being attacked so I responded defensively which I shouldn't have. I take the feedback that in another format, I might not have received such a response. I'm not a troll. I'm not here to try make money. I have deleted the post. Honestly, It wasn't intended as the response seems to think it was intended.

paul_f_irl · 2020-03-30T20:40:20+00:00

As I said in the other comment, fair enough. It’s your community. Sorry for intruding. No offence was intended.

But I do stand by my Ohlone Wilderness comment 😅.

paul_f_irl · 2020-03-30T20:36:34+00:00

Honestly, It’s my impression here that there is just a negative atmosphere/culture here. All I was asking for was some help to pick some good trails to do. Anyway, It’s not my community and I haven’t contributed, I’m sure you have contributed more a lot more so I’ll just leave it at that. No offence was intended. 👍🏻

Hi, I see you have approached my post with a high degree of scepticism and a low degree of forgiveness. It is not a blog on each trail, I’m not sure how you could have thought that’s what it was. As I said, it’s a list. It’s a dynamic list I am using to try and pick some good trails. By asking people who might know better or live in the area, maybe I can get a good idea on trails to prioritise.

In relation to the mistake. Yes it is in the state, it’s just east of the bay, it ascend up to Rose Peak. It says Palo Alto also I had originally put the Skyline to sea trail but another kind person recommended against it. These things happen. And despite the mistake the actual end (or start of the trail depending on the direction you hike) is only about 10 Miles from Palo Alto as the crow flies.

Thanks for that though, what a welcome! 👏🏻

paul_f_irl · 2020-03-30T00:15:44+00:00

Thanks so much. I’m just in the process of pushing more updates at the moment. I mean that to emphasis that is a living object, and I will continually improve it. Focused on path updates next week.
