flakyfilibuster··on Ask HN: Had enough – a need for a new beginning
realize you're still caught in the hamster wheel of capitalism and all you did is moot

how much did you pay for your education though?
flakyfilibuster··on Deutsche Bahn introduces "MetaWindow"
call it whataboutism (not directed towards your comment, but related): every time i'm in a discussion involving graffiti and people complain about it i ask about advertisements plastered though the city - people just shrug
flakyfilibuster··on What's the best (non-tablet) software for kids?
can't speak about the other applications, however, unless your 6 year old is exceptional, i'd go for point and click adventures of the humongous entertainment ilk instead of sim city https://store.steampowered.com/search/?developer=Humongous%2...
flakyfilibuster··on Ask HN: More Co-op games I can carry my 5 year old through?
Mostly seen younger children having a problem with 3D games, because they have to manage both the movement of the character as well as the camera perspective. I feel like below 6 years, they have a hard time wrapping their heads around it / master the controls.

Having said that, Mario Kart 8 is really a good choice (despite it being 3D): * it almost drives itself in 50cc cups * it has 4 types of cups, which gradually get harder * it's great fun alone and in coop * it has great challenges: win the cup/ win all races

if it's not about co-op, but about letting your kid drive and _you_ sitting in the passenger seat, i can highly recommend the titles from https://www.humongous.com/games They are like interactive cartoons with some mini games thrown in. Basically old school point and click adventures for kids.

hard disagree
flakyfilibuster··on SoftBank-backed pizza startup shuts down after raising $445M
is the co-founder/-ceo actually buying the shit, that she regurgitates? how is this a real person?
flakyfilibuster··on Ask HN: Why did Frontend development explode in complexity?
> react provides an even better interface for ajax

how does react provide an interface for ajax? react does literally no calls at all...

I feel like 50% of the people complaining in this thread have never touched react or their last interaction with frontend code was jquery 15 years ago and they're still carrying those learned paradigms around and applying them to every new framework/ frontend lib they come across

flakyfilibuster··on Ask HN: Why did Frontend development explode in complexity?
In what way is react related to ajax calls? I don't get it :(
flakyfilibuster··on Ask HN: Best board games of 2022?
If you like being surprised by games once in a decade, you should play it. Not saying more for fear of spoilers :)
flakyfilibuster··on Ask HN: Is React impacted by Meta layoff?
source? "tbh" and "I think" is cool and all, however I could also just throw out things I believe

Would be nice to know where you get your information from, that RN isn't core to Meta

flakyfilibuster··on Ask HN: Recommendations for Steam Deck Games
ok, so there is no way to run XBox Gamepass games straight from the Deck (sans streaming) :(
flakyfilibuster··on Ask HN: Recommendations for Steam Deck Games
this is my dream - does it work without running windows though?
flakyfilibuster··on Ask HN: Recommendations for Steam Deck Games
I'm sorry :( :) :(
flakyfilibuster··on Ask HN: Recommendations for Steam Deck Games
I'm scared to even mention it - considering it can be very addictive, but have you checked out Vampire Survivors?
flakyfilibuster··on U.S. Army Chooses Google Workspace
i have to admit it felt weird as a non-us person, when the airplane pa system mentioned, that someone from the armed forces was also riding along and calling out that person by name and the subsequent clapping...

question: why use Plex over Kodi?
flakyfilibuster··on Are there some serial downvoters on Stack Overflow?
Link to your question please, so we can judge you
flakyfilibuster··on Discord Switching to React Native for Android App
It looks like your company was ill prepared for the transition/ is not capable of fully transitioning as most of your mentioned "issues with RN" read like issues rather than problems with the framework itself.

> - In the end, RN code is only something like 20% of our Android app. They weren't able to just "write once" and run on both.

That has nothing to do with RN, that's on your company

> - Instead of having 2 teams, an iOS and Android, now we have 3 teams, iOS native, Android native, and RN. And the RN team is split between iOS and Android. All sorts of additional complexity now.

Again, your company/ mgmt. We shared code between iOS and Android and had zero native module maintenance.

> - We still need a fully staffed Android specific team for everything that couldn't be done in RN.

which was what exactly?

> - The performance difference vs. a native app is blatantly obvious.

The majority of apps within the app store could've been written in RN and you wouldn't know/ notice. Discords iOS App is written in RN and I bet a huge amount of commenters here wouldn't have know without reading the article.

flakyfilibuster··on Ask HN: Leaving Germany – where to find quality of life as experienced engineer?
sounds like you need a proper tax consultant
flakyfilibuster··on What I Miss About Working at Stripe
yeah right, we're not talking about a barista here, these devs were making good money
flakyfilibuster··on Ask HN: How do I lead a team in whom I have no confidence?
Life's too short: have an honest conversation with your boss about it. If he's receptive => implement the changes you agree on, if he's deflective => look for a new job
flakyfilibuster··on Ask HN: What is the future of the economy and government in Sri Lanka?
Thank you, I thought it was quite curious that the leading phase in the coverage was organic farming this and that - it is also rather difficult to find a different take on this. Are all news outlets sourcing their info from the same outlet when it comes to foreign affairs?
