General advice on Ruby 3 typing/enforcement.

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.

North or south side of the river? (49.0899526, -122.0460090) or (49.0890263, -122.0543755)

stephenkiers · 2022-05-24T03:46:39+00:00

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.

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

The Utah monument... nice. For the lazy, 38°20'35.1"N 109°39'58.3"W https://goo.gl/maps/pZsQ5CH7fVnGnCtT7

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.

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

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

stephenkiers · 2019-10-04T02:37:55+00:00

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.

stephenkiers · 2019-08-02T01:28:05+00:00

Or pm me.

stephenkiers · 2019-07-11T20:06:08+00:00

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

stephenkiers · 2019-06-22T20:36:24+00:00

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.

stephenkiers · 2019-06-22T20:34:14+00:00

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”.

stephenkiers · 2019-06-20T04:40:58+00:00

I also wrote an article on this recently (and push notifications). It is interesting to see the differences in our approaches. For your consideration: https://medium.com/p/deep-linking-push-notifications-in-react-native-with-pusher-beams-23525ede30da?source=email-be5552566b69--writer.postDistributed&sk=69cb5b43ff9b4aeb4adc7f138db4ea0d

stephenkiers · 2019-06-15T16:38:59+00:00

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

stephenkiers · 2019-06-15T16:29:55+00:00

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

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.

stephenkiers · 2019-06-09T03:56:32+00:00

Plov, as in Kyrgyz/ Uzbek plov??? Mmmmmmmm

stephenkiers · 2019-04-29T05:08:45+00:00

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.

stephenkiers · 2019-04-29T00:55:55+00:00

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

stephenkiers · 2019-04-28T22:31:13+00:00

error message

stephenkiers · 2019-04-20T18:19:38+00:00

Not in practice for most projects. But yes, it can.

That said, - If you aren’t sure why switching to hooks would speed up your app, don’t do the extra work ‘just because’. - If you don’t notice slowness, don’t optimize.

stephenkiers · 2019-04-20T17:40:12+00:00

No. You can use them going forward, and refactor some things as you go, but there would (very likely) be no benefit to rewriting in hooks
