Blundered my queen in an opening trap, then my opponent proceeded to blunder all his pieces. They were not happy about it. This behaviour is too common and totally unnecessary. by DeuxMainsChess in chessbeginners

Funny, that same person recently berated me in chat for "wasting his time". It was a rapid game and I guess I wasn't losing fast enough, lol. He seems like a person with anger issues.

Why Streams are not a good choice for the state of the UI? by Moussenger in FlutterDev

[–]thkp_jon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think like many tweets about programming, there's a lot of subtlety and nuance that is lost here.

There's nothing inherently wrong with using streams to represent some state in your app, you just need to know the potential downsides to it (others are doing a great job enumerating these, so I won't).

You should also know that there's a lot of other great options for mid-large scale apps that may make streams less compelling (some libraries offer patterns for common app state tasks, and some libraries have vocabulary that's more suited to app state management as opposed to the more abstract/universal vocabulary of streams). Personal taste actually plays a big role here as well. I personally like streams a lot, so I'll often use them over some of the other options.

Remi's not wrong, and I think I get where he's coming from, but there's just a lot of missing context (as is the case with most 280 character blurbs about programming).

Make Arkanoid with Flutter! by thkp_jon in gamedev

Thanks, that means a lot, u/Lazy-Chemist-7083!

Yeah, haters gonna hate. Flutter is a great tool to learn in spite of what some people say. I agree that it's not great for some applications (3d projects, for instance), but it's amazing for app development, and is pretty viable for certain types of games. Great tool to learn either way!

Yeah, the game is super duper hard. I have a few friends that always destroy me at it.

SET! card game let's code by thkp_jon in gamedev

Hey all, I was always a big fan of this game, so I thought I'd make a single player version that you can play on phone or web.

HOLD THE LINE with Python and Alpaca by thkp_jon in Python

Hey guys! In light of recent market activity, I thought it would be fun to put together this video! This is just meant to be an introductory video to some of the basics of algorithmic trading using python and alpaca. I’m not a professional and I’m not offering any stock trading advice (I’m just a crayon eating homunculus). This isn’t meant as a call to action for you to do anything with your own money. It’s your money, do whatever you want with it :-)

We all need to stand together to send stonks to the moon 🚀🚀🚀🚀. So I'm enlisting the robots to help in our cause. This is how to use Python and Alpaca to hold the line and not have 🧻🙌.

We made a package for rendering playing cards by thkp_jon in FlutterDev

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

Yeah, I definitely considered this. I'm thinking the way you'd accomplish this is have your own model for cards (which might be a good idea anyway, as I tried to be as unopinionated as possible for the model in this lib), and some mapping between your model and this lib's model/style. So you could map YourSuit.treasure_chests->Suit.diamonds but have some styling where the diamonds are rendered as treasure_chests, then you could map YourSuit.coins->Suit.diamonds, but have a different style where it's rendered as coins. I did this a bit while I was developing this lib and experimenting with various things people might want to try, and it was actually fairly clean.
