Made the mistake of using react for a mobile app and my god why is it this convoluted, why are the error messages always along the lines of “something went wrong with networking 🤷”

Unfortunately I’m stuck with it now

lowleveldata ,

react is better than the days when we jquery everything

xthexder ,
@xthexder@l.sw0.com avatar

Am I the only one left writing pure JS webpages? I swear for the stuff I’ve done recently, adding React or even jQuery makes things 10x more complicated and bloated. The base JS support browsers have now is actually great. It’s not like the old days trying to support every browser back to IE6

flashgnash ,

I like base JS and I like jQuery. Only reason I’m using React is for native cross platform mobile/web but I’m beginning to regret choosing it for that

Cqrd ,

I assume you mean react native, not react, unless you’re using something like capacitor. React native is a far shot from react and is much more annoying to deal with.

flashgnash ,

Yes I mean react native

Wouldn’t be bothering with it if I were just working with web

Cqrd ,

Using capacitor as a native shell for your web app can be very nice, actually. It lets you hook into native API calls and build native apps while hardly ever having to write native code, unless you want to, which presumably you don’t since you’re writing react native.

flashgnash ,

Honestly doing it again I’d just write in xamarin or something not web orientated because as it turns out the web app is going to need to be separate anyway

I might look into capacitor but is that not basically just electron?

Cqrd ,

I guess you could see it that way, but web views are inherent in mobile operating systems, they don’t need to be bundled into your app, so capacitor apps aren’t big bloated memory consuming applications like electron apps are. There’s a lot of well made apps running on capacitor that you wouldn’t even know, especially if you use something like ionic framework to actually have the look and feel of native mobile apps.

flashgnash ,

Definitely need to look into this for future, would make dev so much easier to just write for web and not have to deal with react native’s bullshit

bitfucker ,

Why not try flutter then?

flashgnash ,

Had a look at it, looked worse than react

bitfucker ,

When you are writing some complex web app, you will wish you used a framework. Some web apps can have more than 50 pages with multiple states that depend on remote data to be locally cached and synced depending if you are online/offline. Framework can handle a lot of the heavy state management for you and even provide a nice UI component library. But I do agree that React is too much, but jQuery is being replaced by vanilla JS. That is why I usually use Vue. But for simple stuff, yes, Vanilla JS is pretty much good enough

uis , (edited )

No framework will make FSM for you. Managing state of web ui is not as hard as managing state of game.

Using TCP for networking? Loss, retransmit, lag, you’re dead. Using UDP for networking? Loss, desync, you’re dead. Sending full game state? Congestion, loss, lag, dead. Doing sync right, but still pushing too much data? Congestion, loss, lag, dead. Also keeping on server you need not only track game state, but what game state client confirmed to receive.

bitfucker ,

Strictly speaking, the original commenter is talking about website but sure there is an FSM JS framework too (XState).

traches ,

The biggest problem frameworks solve is “I need the value of this variable to be on the page and I need it to stay up-to-date.” If you don’t have this problem, or you only have it in a couple of places where hand-writing the necessary event listeners isn’t too arduous, then yeah you don’t really need a front end js framework.

sandman ,

I just have to say: designing a GUI in code in 2024 is asinine.

uis ,

Linux has better error messages. “Dazed and confused, but trying to continue”.

flashgnash ,

I am spoiled by dotnet and rust error messages. They tell you exactly what the problem is, where it is, and in rust’s case sometimes even how to fix it

Then there’s C with “segmentation fault”

uis ,

and in rust’s case sometimes even how to fix it

Then there’s C with "segmentation fault"

  1. You are comparing compiler-generated errors and runtime errors
  2. Rust can trigger segmentation fault and bus error too.
  3. GCC’s error messages are very detailed, sometimes can contain suggested solutions.

For example if I will try to compile helloworld without including stdio.h, gcc will warn implicit declaration of function ‘printf’(by default, almost everyone make it error with -Werror=) and will suggest note: include ‘<stdio.h>’ or provide a declaration of ‘printf’. And runtime error reports are as good as programmer makes them, no matter language program was written in.

I am spoiled by core dumps(although rust technically has them too).

Also in context of kernel, it will print stack trace and (if used) will kexec into another kernel that can make core dump or continue working.

You’ve had your work laptop run well for a few months with your on off daily usage. I’m sure there’s many ppl here with various distros running for years without a single reboot.

I don’t expect anyone to switch to windows, I’m just saying this myth about windows being unstable does not align with my experiences at all. I haven’t even seen a blue screen since windows 7. All the weird behavior I encountered was fixed by replacing hardware, and without reinstalling windows. Sure, linux might run even longer without rebooting, but saying windows can’t go past 2 days is just a gross exaggeration.

ForgottenUsername ,

I literally turned on my work laptop yesterday and it blue screened on boot. (Win10). Didn’t even get an uptime of 5 minutes. Its not a myth that windows is unstable (in comparison with Linux and macOS).

When you’re rejected for a loan by a bank in the USA you’re entitled by law to know the reason. If your credit is good, your job is stable, and you’ve got no history of finance-related crime then you won’t be denied a loan. If you’re denied a loan because of the type of porn you browsed or some shit you said on Twitter, then that’s grounds for a discrimination lawsuit.

    psud , (edited )

    The symmetry calendars (Wikipedia) use a leap week each several years, which seems like a reasonable way of doing it

    Apparently the author of those calendars thought that would bring on board the people who believe days following an unending sequence is important - those who think their holy day has to be an actual whatever-day not one out of sequence due to intercalary days

    Ed. Linkified the calendar

    doctordevice ,

    Ahh, that makes sense. Here I was thinking it would be fun to have a day or two every year that weren’t any day of the week.

    The leap week is a little bit of an unsatisfying solution since it means solstices and equinoxes will shift around a lot more. Also not as likely to get governments and employers to be willing to treat them as holidays.

    I highly doubt we’ll move from our current calendar anytime soon. Its flaws aren’t bad enough to justify the effort, but I would really love a more symmetrical calendar. And payroll folks would probably love it too. Hourly and salary structures would be a lot more in sync.

    psud ,

    On the other hand the calendar is always the same, years always start on a Monday, months start on a Monday

    You could have a permanent calendar, except that religious holidays and astronomical events (solstices, equinoxes, best day for planting tulips) would move around

    My birthday would vanish as it’s towards the end of one of the middle months; my mother’s birthday would only happen in leap years as it’s late in the last month

    Birthdays on the new calendar would always fall on the same week day (though people born under the old calendar could celebrate on the day that it would be had the old calendar continued, or choose the same day number and month, or choose the corresponding day in the first year (or whatever) of the new calendar and stick to that month and day number)

    doctordevice , (edited )

    Almost all of this would be true if we celebrated a day (or two) each year that were outside of the months and weeks, except events tied to points in our orbit would stay put a lot more. We would still have the same calendar every year. In your version we have a full extra week every 6 or so years, in mine every year we have a dedicated New Year’s Day that isn’t in a regular month or a day of the week, and every 4 or so years (same rules as now) we have 2 New Year’s Days.

    Though I would argue for Sunday being the 1st day of each month/year. IMO weekends should be like bookends, one on either side.

    Edit: your Wiki link contained a link to the International Fixed Calendar, which I’ve been inadvertently arguing for. This is almost identical to what I’ve been proposing, except they put the leap day at the end of June. But it fixes the major disadvantage of your system: that a year isn’t a year. In your system 1/1 is never one year away from 1/1. In mine it is within leap day drift, just like the current calendar.

    absGeekNZ ,

    No, “new years day” would just be a day all by it’s self, global celebration day… And get this, every 4 years you get two party days.

    Fun fact: you could get an account locked in under an hour if you used a command line to close the league client. Not powershell - just good ol cmd. No reports needed. Reproduced it 4 times in 2 days… Lots of fun emails with initially the support teams and then the devs. Apparently “taskkill” is the most nefarious cheat known to the gaming industry.

    Talking to someone who justifies this kinda shit is always a trip. They’ll say that people who aren’t earning a living wage just need to work harder and pick up a marketable skill to improve their situation. But you can simultaneously get them to agree that many of these low wage “unskilled” jobs need to exist for society to continue functioning, so which fucking is it?

    The answer is that the capitalist parasites and their horde of boot lickers believe it’s totally acceptable for there to exist an underclass of human beings born to work until their bodies give out for the enrichment of their superior employer.

    They can’t afford to live a dignified life doing the shit I need them to do? That’s fine, just toss 'em into the hole when they stop working and replace them with the next generation.

    Honestly man, I’m getting real sick and tired of pretending to be above violent retribution when it comes to these people. My blood fucking boils each and every time I need to look my boss in the eye and pretend to smile as they say farcical shit like “we’re all a family here” or “let us know if there’s anything you need” while paying me exactly the minimum wage and hiring the exact number of employees it takes for them to avoid giving any of us enough hours to qualify for benefits.

People who don’t want to fully abolish the US prison system, which to this day kills far more people far more often than the Soviet gulag system did shortly after the end of WW2. And that’s really strange considering the US prison system is designed from the ground up to maintain a pool of slave labor by incarcerating racial minorities on bullshit drug offenses. Personally, I’d much rather prison be used to keep dangerous reactionaries from causing trouble while they’re being reeducated.

    Your entire attitude fucking screams “I have nothing good going on in my life, so I’ve adopted an extreme viewpoint that easily allows me to feel superior to others”.

    You see this shit on all sides of the political spectrum. An example you’re likely familiar with and hate would be fanatical/fundamentalist Christians. Nothing truly going right with their life, so they adopt a belief system that gives them an outlet for their hate/anger/frustration where they don’t have to feel bad about it because they are targeting the “bad guys”.

    Someone who was in a good place in life wouldn’t be posting shit online calling for putting people in fucking gulags.

    You can use all the excuses and mental gymanstics you want, but at the end of the day, you’ve adopted an idealogy where extreme actions are justified and right to take against your “enemy”, and where anyone even slightly advocating for you to slow your roll is instantly redefined as an “enemy”.

    You just did that. You start spouting shit about Americans, and when the guy said he wasn’t one you just said that he effectively was one anyway and kept down the path you were already on. That’s absurd.

    Anyway, your entire defense for your statements here is that your bad guys are the real bad guys. That’s the beginning and end of it. That type of self righteousness is something to be feared, not something to be championed because you’ve “found the right target”.

    Please note, I’ve not made any statement on whether you’re wrong or right in your targeting. That’s a separate discussion.

    It has been demonstrated time and time again in historical record the world over, that the fervor of people like you can and will be abused, and shifted towards wider and wider classifications of “targets”.

    Anyway, I hope your life situation improves enough someday that you no longer find the need to be a self-righteous asshat on the internet calling for people’s torture. I’m blocking you, so I won’t be around to see it.

Do you think it could ever be related to political or economic forces? Or are “extreme” political ideologies all universally forbidden? How do you qualify what is “extreme”? Are people who are not in “a good place” only able to have conservative positions that maintain status quo or are they only able to be apolitical? How do you think maintaining status quo or not having any political beliefs would help their “life situation [improve] enough” if there is no change to their politico-economic reality which directly impacts their life situation? If one is in a “good place” what kinds of political beliefs would they typically exhibit or are they allowed to have?

    Your entire attitude fucking screams “I have no real political analysis but suffer from a great sense of narcissism that leads me to a false sense of intelligence which makes me think I can paternalistically psychologize others’ entire lives without knowing them so that I can justify sharing my ignorant opinions that communicate that I believe I have a better life than others do and that makes me a superior person” so that gives me hope you won’t be able to help yourself from responding further.

    Hey I’m not American either and you’re still a dumbass that doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Lmao

    And you clearly don’t seem to have problem with US prison system, only that wrong people are sent there.

    No shit? What, you want to send the wrong people to prison? Good one bozo.

    You don’t know shit about the Soviets, don’t pretend red scare propaganda wasn’t a thing.

    I’m sure life in Russia was great under the Tzars and now under capitalist Putin/oligarchs.

    This is where the idea of “personal responsibility” is useful for liberals. Flatly admitting that they want a desperate underclass is too mask off for them to feel like good people so they invent a way of blaming individual victims rather than the economic system.

    The poor has a theoretical opportunity to pull themselves up by the bootstraps so when they don’t do that it’s really their own fault. Of course that theoretical opportunity doesn’t translate into actual opportunity for most people but that’s fine, as there’s enough window dressing of meritocracy to make the opportunity look real if you are careful not to go into too much detail.

    This is also the reason why liberals hate discussing real-world examples. Their logic only works in abstract thought experiments where they get to control the variables. Saying that everyone has the opportunity to succeed is a lot easier than saying that Bob, who has a set of very concrete and undeniable material conditions, has the opportunity succeed.

    You really had to go and ruin it by praising Stalin right there at the end, didn't you.. 🤦‍♀️

    The “fucking rich” / bourgeois are to be shot, not sent to gulags. That’s for the idiots supporting capitalism.

    Then you might want to vote for the party that hasn't made RCV illegal in 4 states.

    And that party is? Yes, I really don’t know.

    The GOP has made RCV illegal in Tennessee, Florida & 3 other states.

    Interesting. Thanks for the info. I know the DNC administers the electors* in the college and have always been under the impression they’d not be for RCV, either.

    edit: Oh fuck you, whoever is downvoting. Quit being a triggered cunt. I asked a good question, got a good answer, and shared what I know. Nothing I contributed to this thread is downvote worthy unless you’re just a triggerd narrative controlling parasite. Fuuuuck you.

    areyouevenreal ,

    Do you have any evidence that the DNC are against RCV?

    TacoButtPlug ,
    @TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works avatar

    But why would I? If I said I was only under an impression based on their direct management of the electoral college, isn’t it pretty clear I was speaking for myself based on my own opinion? I obviously didn’t state it’s fact.

    I mean… www.dcdemocraticparty.org/rcv

    You can take the Redditor out of Reddit but not the Reddit out of the Redditor, it would seem.
