I have a dream, that one day my manager does what getaaron did T_T

Forget about this: https://devrant.com/rants/2136329/...

Now I Whatsapp myself with the files I want because apparently, I'm too lazy to connect the phone to my laptop :\

Is it by design or Facebook devs made a mistake?

In short, power is centralized, protocols can be changed at any given time --> Coins issued can be manipulated, revoked, increased by that centralized power holder

Something really strange happened now, I received my 2-step login codes from Google from an unknown number and just codes, doesn't Google usually use this format: G-XXX-XXX
and have their name in the title?

That all white design of Google is getting on my nerves, latest Google Play simply blinds my eyes :\

Me: Phone at 13% better plugin to laptop
*few minutes later*
Phone at 5%
Me: WTF!
Laptop: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is new to me .-.
I just noticed I don't have internet permission in my flutter app Android manifest, yet I'm able to fetch data from an API, how is this possible?

it thrills me how killing "watchman" makes computer faster!

Well it is a Facebook creation after all .... No wonder why

Me: Found solution on StackOverFlow, lets copy/paste code and try it out

*Clicks ctrl+v*
Computer: There's your value!
Me: Wait that's not what I copied
*notices that I copied from a different computer and expected it to paste on this one*

*cries in corner* T_T

Yesterday was release day for a project, never been too nervous like I am now, why? Because of the amount of chaos in this project, I cannot predict the behavior of the system, anything might just break T_T

Didn't see any rant about Apple's new declarative UI framework: SwiftUI. Looks a lot like Flutter, but I'm still new in flutter so I'm not sure that way of creating UI, why is it better that way? Or it is just like Oranges and Apples, choose what fits your needs?

Me: Want to copy this file to another computer
Bluetooth: Use me!
Google Drive: I'm better!
USB: I can help
Network shared folder: I'm in position!

Me: Let me add it as an attachment to a new email and download it on the other computer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A week with flutter:
1. I like how simple it is compared to React Native
2. Same issues as react, want platform specific, good luck writing plugins. Though the upside is I can use Swift and Kotlin with it, but still mixed code is bad

Unbelievable !!! In reference to this: https://devrant.com/rants/2131796/...

The process that was killing performance was, Watchman! I don't even understand I don't have any node stuff running why is watchman starting on system boot ... it was taking sweet 512MB of RAM

Everything now runs smoothly ...

How come a Mac Mini with 4GB of RAM is MUCH MUCH faster than an iMac with 8GB of RAM!
When the rest of the specs are identical ...

Load tests:

I'm used to do load tests in Visual Studio where it gives which line is exactly your bottleneck. But now I'm using VS Code (visual studio requires enterprise license for load tests :\ no longer have one)

Anyways long story short, what are the best practices for load tests? For me what I'm testing is how much can a given hardware specs handle and when test fails I go back and check if code can be optimized, is this the correct way to do this?

About to checkout Gatling for load test to my REST api, any other suggestions?

So far their docs look straightforward to follow, requires scala but it doesn't look that complicated for that particular case.

Dotnet core devs, do you recommend another tool?

Flutter help please.
When creating a new website, code has the following:

MyHomePage({Key key, this.title}) : super(key: key);

What does {} content mean? Is it like Javascript, that there is an object passed and we take only those two params?

Because this is how they use it:
MyHomePage(title: 'Flutter Demo Home Page'),

I'm not sure what is the "key" thing

Where do I request a new word to English dictionary? Apparently, template is now tempalte according to my fingers >_>

I find it funny on Windows, Android studio reaches as much as 12GB of ram usage, while on Linux two instances barely take up to 3GB

Either java sucks on Windows or AS sucks in memory usage but happened to be saved by Linux

Google: The all mighty bug fixes for Android Studio are now live, see version 3.4
Android Studio: But I still freeze when I need to format xml files tho, but who cares...

** Days later
Google: Android Studio 3.4.1 is now live! Smash those bugs!
Android Studio: lool I still freeze when formatting an xml file ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Need help in Unit Tests,

I've reached a point where tests randomly fail, but if I run that test alone it never failed.
I do have lots of shared data between test functions of the same test class.

What options do I have?
1. Make each function responsible of seeding data into InMemory database?
2. ??? (I don't know what else I can do)

Any help is great :)

Google made sure that devs understand Layout Editor has lots of bug fixes in AS 3.4,
I'm now at 3.4.1 and that thing still crashes (stops responding to changes unless I do them in XML) when I just add a damn new control in an empty window!

I hope they get it right anytime soon.

So my situation right now:
XCode shit when writing code but has some robust Layout Editor

Android Studio: Amazing when writing code but shit when using Layout Editor

Guess one can't get the best in at least one of them :\

Haven't seen anything from linuxxx for sometime. Any news?

TL;DR;

I was asked to give estimation on an app, that:
1. No one has a clue what it does, even though there is v1 on the store with almost 10% of functionality working
2. No one has a clue what should be in the new rewritten version
3. We are already behind schedule and I have no clue why, I've just been told that
4. They need UI flow that shows how the app will work with static data and when API's are ready (because ya know, writing code is easier than creating wireframes and modifying them accordingly) I will then need to link app with API as if it is as simple as drinking a cup of water, especially that: 1. What is water? 2. Do I have a cup or is it given, and 3. Relax bro, drinking water is like eating a burger, piece of cake!

I'm not sure what to do, not enough that it's React Native but also spaghetti requirements that no one was able to answer my simple question: What is the app responsible of?

P.S.: Some say I must rewrite the old app ONLY, no new features, others say: Turn the new web portal into mobile app, I say: WTF is going one?

There is a bug in my coffee 🤦🏼‍♂️

Because we don't have enough programming languages

I'm planning on stopping my mail server but I don't know to which service I should move, I have a custom domain that I need to link, for example Google cloud apps where I can forward emails, but of course I don't want to use Google.

Any recommendations?

Pretty much after couple of years of entering the real world I lost faith, not because I found myself not able to cope and learn but the amount of chaos and closed minded people that you face everyday pushed me to pursue my MBA.

Now I'm slowly drifting away to the management part because I've had enough with this, its just not worth it. I'll keep development for self entertainment in personal projects, and nothing more.

I might have asked this before, but why when I turn on my personal VPN (personal vps) Internet suddenly becomes faster?

Is it because filtering no longer works?
