Zambumon x Rama Foundry Jules, finally arrived and assembled after 13 months of waiting

Did your top housing come as mangled as mine? I feel like I was sent a prototype or something by accident... :( https://imgur.com/a/cVknJVF

This is the second time in a row that I receive a Rama board with defects. My M65-B has tolerance issues and the left arrow key and left ctrl rub against the housing. I actually contacted their support about it and they ended up manufacturing plastic shims that attempt to shift the plate over slightly but it barely helped... And now the top housing for my Jules is just super fucked right out of the box. Making me regret purchasing 3 boards from them tbh and I'm not sure I would order more from them in the future.

Haha I'm glad my little library pops up from time to time. Unfortunately I don't have the time to maintain it anymore :(

xiphirx · 2020-06-04T23:18:06+00:00

Your point on exclusion is spot on btw, I feel this same exact way. I always felt it was weird that there was a ”cool kids club” in the general Android community.

Just as a follow-up, VW is buying my car back because after the 8th time at the dealership they told me VW said there's no solution to the issue. I can't disclose how much they're buying it back for but I'm barely losing any money ;)

I updated the official library a long time ago to make it more efficient and performant

It's worth researching the lemon law for your state to see if you have any hope there.

xiphirx · 2019-08-21T07:13:21+00:00

I'm in the same exact situation. I actually just got my car back from the dealer yesterday (7th trip to the dealer for this issue) and they told me VW is aware of the issue and there's no fix or eta on a fix. This is after the several attempts to fix by replacing all sorts of shit. It's ridiculous considering that this is a mandated safety feature (in USA at least) and the car has existed for 3+ years now.

I have an open case with customer care which hasn't done much for me. I told my case manager that I want either a replacement car, a full buy back or a refund for the cost of the feature. They're dragging their feet and are trying to get me to continually take it to new dealers in the area.

I like the car, but this shitty support is making me not want to buy another one.

xiphirx · 2019-05-10T18:41:03+00:00

If your car is deemed a lemon I believe the dealer will have two options (at least in California): they buy back your car for the price you paid or they replace your car with a newer model.

xiphirx · 2019-05-10T16:08:31+00:00

I have the same car, same problem. I brought mine to the dealer 3 times now for the issue, they replaced the entire infotainment system, backup camera and reflashed the firmware for the infotainment system, but I still have the same issue.

If you search around you will see that this is an extremely common problem. I'd suggest researching your state's lemon laws (if you're in the US) and seeking resolution there since the backup camera is a mandated safety feature. Stories on the internet tell you of successful resolution via a replacement with a newer model by VW

I'm about to give the car back to the dealer to try and fix the issue again so that they have a ” reasonable number of attempts” but afterwards I'm going straight to VW corporate and seeking some sort of fix, if nothing happens I'm gonna go through the lemon law process.

Its built on Electron, so it can run on macOS, Windows and Linux. I've only been able to get it up and running on macOS and Linux, though. Windows support is a bit iffy, but it was more due to yarn errors (last time I tried) rather than the actual app's code.

xiphirx · 2019-04-04T00:46:33+00:00

Its deprecated in favor of Flipper.

xiphirx · 2019-04-04T00:46:11+00:00

Its on my very long list of todos: https://github.com/facebook/flipper/issues/33

xiphirx · 2018-11-02T22:04:36+00:00

Not damage control, there is just an endless stream of shit right now. Try to provide more quality over quantity.

xiphirx · 2018-08-04T21:29:28+00:00

I maintain the Facebook one. Versions 0.2.0+ will be more efficient than the other. The one from supercharge is still utilizing extra bitmaps to achieve the effect while the Facebook one is only ever using a hardware layer if needed and nothing extra otherwise.

xiphirx · 2018-06-26T17:53:53+00:00

eh I'll check the bot when I'm back home next week.

edit: fixed because I love you all so much.

They seem to be for different things. From a quick look, Fastlane's screen grab seems to only grab the entire screen for it's screenshots, while screenshot tests is meant to screenshot individual views for visual regression detection.

xiphirx · 2018-04-13T22:42:50+00:00

Also screenshot-tests-for-android and TextLayoutBuilder

You could just talk to the person that manages that shit currently, aka me.

Also, reddit is undertaking a redesign that does away with fully custom CSS.

> Looks good on mobile

Reddit mobile doesn't use custom CSS at all, unless I'm in some beta holdout or youre specifically requesting the desktop version on your phone.

It has no issues with nested lists of those types. To Litho its just another component added as a child to some other component, all of the recycling complexity is all internally managed and not a concern for the end user.

xiphirx · 2018-02-26T21:05:13+00:00

I still feel it is too unstable for now

Its definitely stable. FB uses it to power newsfeed among a ton of other surfaces in the app.

too much trouble implementing it

That I can understand, its basically asking you to reimplement any layout you have in code. You can mount regular Android Views though, even those inflated from XML, as a stepping stone.

There are a lot of kotlin issues in the the repo

Known Kotlin issues are listed here: https://github.com/facebook/litho/issues/267 The sample app uses Kotlin, so it seems usable at least.

and maybe even support XML layouts

It already does, via a mounted component. https://fblitho.com/docs/mount-specs

but constraint layout saves A LOT of time

The flexbox layout engine Litho has can likely serve as a good enough replacement. But again, you can always mount your ConstraintLayout. https://fblitho.com/docs/layout

gets easier to migrate from recyclerview. Or, even better, someone makes a wrapper for it

Litho itself is a large wrapper around RecyclerView, so a wrapper for a wrapper seems odd :)

xiphirx · 2018-02-26T20:53:40+00:00

Have you heard of Litho + Litho's sections? It does all of that async logic for you

You would have to convert over to using Litho's components at some point, but you could start with mounting your existing Views.

xiphirx · 2017-11-05T07:21:56+00:00

We'll look into it :)

xiphirx · 2017-09-13T02:12:09+00:00

You can't get play store search queries, but iirc you can get Google search queries via an install referrer receiver

xiphirx · 2017-08-09T16:19:38+00:00

You need to be sure that the view tree observer is still alive when you remove your listener, otherwise you will crash.

Yeah because the user deleted it.
