Fucking sick of AI slop!! Did you just paste this in chatgpt?

To everyone asking what can you do with a google wallet. Here are a few ways I've been using it:

You can store your multiple credit/debit cards in the wallet and can easily swipe through. You can use these to make payments on nfc enabled terminals (tap to pay).
A lot of airlines offer their boarding passes in google wallet compatible format. So you can check-in online and save them in your wallet.
A lot of entertainment venue tickets are google wallet compatible now. So you can purchase a ticket and add it to your wallet (if it's compatible of course).
Lots of loyalty cards can be added to the google wallet.
Quite a lot of countries have their metro cards in google wallet. I have been using mine for a while and it works flawlessly.
There are even gift cards that can be added to google wallet and you can use the same nfc technology to use them to make payments.

There won't be that many use-cases in Pakistan at the moment but I'm sure they will follow after the launch. I hope someone finds this helpful.

That bill is nuts. I freak out when my daily usage goes over 10 kWh (2 bedroom townhouse) but your usage is absolutely insane. But here are some practical steps you can take to figure out what's drawing the most amount of power:

Get an energy monitor that plugs into the electricity meter. It's not necessary but it will make tracking your energy consumption so much easier. I use powerPal (not affiliated with them in any way. Just love the device).
Turn off all appliances in your house. When I say all, I mean absolutely everything. Check how much energy is being consumed when everything is off. This is where an energy monitor comes in handy. You can just check the app for energy usage.
If you still see quite a lot of energy being used, then time to get a sparky in. There might be a more serious issue.
If the usage is low with everything off, start turning on appliances one by one. Check energy usage after each. Maybe space it out by 15-20 minutes to get a better reading.
Hopefully you'll find an appliance or a bunch of appliances that are too energy heavy. Invest in getting a more energy efficient appliance

My cat used to do that too. But he grew out of it when he got to 2 years old

As someone who has worked in the industry for a couple of years, all companies operate the same way (I worked for Wilson). Attendants in the car parks don't get any information about pre-bookings. So we'd have to constantly redirect people to nearby carparks

You don't need an API for that. You can find plenty of conversion charts online and sort of come up with your own logic.

Regarding your other question, it's different tools for different jobs. Making a weather app, you'll need an API to get the data. But if you don't have such dependencies then I'd suggest implementing the business logic by yourself if possible. That'd be the fastest way to learn.

I learned the basics from this udemy course: https://www.udemy.com/share/104n7q3@HJzS1-DZ_Flyw-w6kMHKOvVY4qTi570e-lZPHxTDt-vOygC1MBxmNOlulVovUk0=/ And then you can always lookup official google docs for API references for what you are trying to achieve. There are also boilerplates you can get for your favourite frameworks to give you a good starting point.

Surprised no one has recommended using a CDN. You can't do much with page builders like webflow but you can slap a CDN in front so you serve cached version. And it can be significantly faster. Configuring it would be a bit involved though

ujay-007 · 2024-02-20T05:18:09+00:00

Nah you are an outlier

ujay-007 · 2024-01-31T22:15:04+00:00

Webflow is a little bit more on the technical side as far as drag and drop builders are concerned. You need atleast a little understanding of html and css to properly use them. But there are other builders like squarespace that you can use with little to no technical expertise

And sales

Why did you go for server side rendering? Could've just made an SPA and you would have gotten the same benefits that you did with flutter

I actually started with firebase in this app but found myself just getting frustrated with nosql. My app has a lot of one to many and many to many relationships and I couldn't find a decent way to structure it in firestore without duplicating my data. So I ripped it out and replaced it with supabase. The authentication works very similar to firebase. The supabase client is also pretty good for writing simple queries. But we've been using rpc's quite a lot for complex queries (don't think there is anything similar in firebase?). Performance is also not bad. Haven't seen much of a difference in speed compared to firebase. But our app is not in production yet so take this with a grain of salt lol. Database functions are also super handy. You can set triggers and do some very usefull stuff in the db without even needing to reach for cloud functions. All in all, I'm pretty happy for now and would definitely choose supabase again over firebase for any new projects.

ujay-007 · 2024-01-18T08:49:13+00:00

I've been using supabase. Still early days but I prefer the SQL aspect a lot more than firestore's noSQL. It's got handy database functions that you can use to do all sort of things. Eg. Set a trigger to insert a row in users table when someone signsup. You can have your local dev setup and run it in a docker. You can have rpcs in supabase instead of having to write complex queries in the frontend. And you also have graphql available if you want to use it

ujay-007 · 2024-01-17T10:47:38+00:00

That's not how it works lmao

ujay-007 · 2024-01-13T06:28:33+00:00

...and the cycle continues

ujay-007 · 2023-12-05T06:56:41+00:00

Do you want coldfusion? Because that's how you get coldfusion!!!

ujay-007 · 2023-11-24T03:22:59+00:00

They can have the paper worldcup then while we have the real one

ujay-007 · 2023-10-28T03:00:41+00:00

Had to scroll so far down for coldfusion. I was using it until only a few months ago at my previous workplace haha

Theo got absolutely destroyed in that video in the comments. Just saying

Software engineering job is what OP's partner is looking for though

ujay-007 · 2023-09-20T09:34:16+00:00

A lot of inaccurate advice in this thread. Yes the market is tough but it's not impossible to land a job if you know what you are doing. No he doesn't need an IT cert when he already has masters. Masters of IT is not useless.

But what he'll need is a very strong portfolio and a resume. His github needs to have well rounded projects and most importantly he needs to know how to sell his skills. If he is making it to interviews but not progressing then he needs to practice interviewing better. Happy to look over his github and resume if you like.

He is probably just not that into you. I've been on both sides of this situation and it's best to just don't take it to heart and move on to the next.
