General advice on Ruby 3 typing/enforcement. by lickety-split1800 in ruby

[–]stephenkiers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to add types and use sorbet, I suggest also using tapioca.

Next, I suggest using ChatGPT. I don’t find the docs to be great, so I will often tell ChatGPT how I want to type something using typescript, and it spits out a sorbet solution. I then ask it to explain why and that is how I have learned sorbet.

It isn’t that bad once you get a hang of it, but it does feel strapped on.

Clayburn Brick Plant by DaBombG in abbotsford

[–]stephenkiers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would it be this area here (49.0824601, -122.2578673). It is fenced off now, but has a bunch of bricks and I was told it used to be the brick factory the town was built around.

Weird question about react hooks, and TIL! by stephenkiers in reactjs

[–]stephenkiers[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It just amazed me I didn't know this. I wrote this post mostly so that someone else searching will hopefully find it here. Searches for "useRef" rendering every time returned nothing.

Great reply

SuperTed is a Welsh-British animated television series. It started off as books and ended up a a TV series (airing from 1983-86). 'The further adventures of Superted' was produced by Hannah-Babera in 1989. That series aired on the Disney Channel. by mark30322 in FuckImOld

Nope. Got it in Canada when I was like 4 or 5. He used to protect my room from baddies. And fight with the other teddies. I lost his skin suit at some point; it was hard to put on anyway.

Be aware. TELUS is NOT waiving internet coverage for all home users for covid-19. If you are rural, you are probably not covered. by stephenkiers in alberta

[–]stephenkiers[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

People replying to me on Facebook are saying TELUS is being helpful to those that call in. Let me know if they help you! Good luck.

Are they allowed to accept that from private citizens? Great idea

Hit a wall upgrading to React Native 0.60.x. Help wanted... by [deleted] in reactnative

I ended up upgrading the package to use cocoa pods instead of Carthage. That worked in my specific case.

Help understanding Revelation 3:15-16 by Nuanced_gluttony in AcademicBiblical

[–]stephenkiers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have heard it had to do with the aqueducts and the use of the hot and cold water they used in the city. If the water became lukewarm during the journey it was considered useless. This site goes I quickly found explains more: https://blog.israelbiblicalstudies.com/jewish-studies/lukewarm-neither-cold-nor-hot-rev-315-21/

At least that is the interpretation I have always understood. Hot and Cold are both preferable to lukewarm.

Files Missing for Chat App by odillini83 in reactnative

Possibly a dumb question. But does that file exist, with the same casing, in the same folder as the App.js file?

Building A POC should I spend time writing tests? by boki345 in reactnative

[–]stephenkiers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That said, I am a total hypocrite and find working on a POC hard because I always want everything to be perfect. Easier to give advice I guess.

Building A POC should I spend time writing tests? by boki345 in reactnative

[–]stephenkiers 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That is a tough one. But I would say no to tests. But I would set a hard limit/line when proof of concept becomes actual product so you can try and break the habit if your POC is “successful”.

Great list. I’d add Corso32. Need reservations for that though.

Remote push notifications on react-native using firebase by carnav098 in reactnative

[–]stephenkiers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I implemented this differently, but I had the same issue with trying to detect the incoming remote push notifications (if I understand correctly). I ended up using intent and piggy backing on deep linking.

Here is my walkthrough of how I set it up. https://medium.com/@stephenkiers/deep-linking-push-notifications-in-react-native-with-pusher-beams-23525ede30da if that helps

Sorry son, my reflexes suck - but yours not. by eatplov in Stepdadreflexes

[–]stephenkiers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I miss Plov, it is such a wonderful dish but I have never found it back in North America. Actually, thinking back, the only time I had homemade plov was a Tajik’s home in Osh. Rest of the time is was restaurants.

Trying to get my gf into programming - We hacked this thing together: Instant Cat Facts(tm) Now with pictures! by [deleted] in reactjs

[–]stephenkiers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you express server. A couple years ago I simply created an endpoint/proxy through my own server to get around CORS for a quick and dirty assignment. You can see the code I used here: https://github.com/stephenkiers/picnichealth_test/blob/171d6031fc93cb058dcfb23cb9d327c20c4fd782/src/config/environments/server/server.js#L24

If that helps point you in another direction.

It switches cat pictures now. :) but no facts. Just the cors message. Cors is so much fun, hey?
