Replying to verify I see the same app almost at the top of search result. Based in Canada and searching “Bitcoin Wallet”, it was the 2nd non-promoted result. I have only 1 other app of this variety on my phone currently and haven’t used it

As a complete beginner, you don’t need to spring for a $50+ cube magnet GAN some other comments are recommending. You’ll get just as far with a YuXin[1] as a beginner, or a Valk[2], which was my primary cube for over a year, and carried me

Branch coverage means something different. If you have a function with 2 if statements, there are 4 branches. 100% code coverage could be 1 test and would run the code before + after the if statements, and enter each if statement block. 100

Shopify acquired Tictail, a Swedish e-commerce company that had their flagship app written in React Native. They worked on porting Shopify’s Shop app to React Native, with great success. Subsequently, a 12-16 week experiment took place duri

As someone who worked on the Shopify iOS and Android codebases, I would argue they weren’t all necessarily so broken. The flagship mobile app (the one primarily discussed in the article) was in good shape on iOS (and arguably better shape o

I think the trolley problem is generally the other way around. 1 life is lost if you pull the lever, >1 if you don’t. In your situation, you do the least harm by doing nothing. You want to create the moral quandary that taking action cau

According to Apple’s support site[0] App Clips can request your location, and permission’s automatically revoked after 1 day, and only works while the apple clip is in use. So, better in theory. [0] https://support.apple.com&#x2F

Interesting! Yeah, it’s maybe a little bold to claim we’re the cause for Amazon’s change, the timeline just lines up so well. Could be different laws, could also be that Shopify (Shop’s parent company) is still very US-centric and perhaps t

Slightly unrelated, we noticed this happening _before_ we renamed the app in the App Store from Arrive to Shop, but after the rename happened in, I think, March of 2020, negative reviews about the missing Amazon data started flooding in. Pe

Another explanation I’m predisposed to, due to personal involvement: I was on the Shop[1] team when it was transitioning from Arrive to Shop, and shifting from a package tracking application to a shopping cart. If you gave the app access to

“zmessenger-dev” is, I believe, the “alt account” they lost the login info to. Their main account, presumably tied to their identity, was used to author a commit that was pushed the DMCA’d repo. They later lost access to the alt (zmessenger

Agreed. I think naming generic types makes the most sense with multiple types, or when more specific names make sense. For example, if a generic argument must inherit from a certain type: `class SomeView<ViewState extends BaseViewState&g

As someone who is a runner, Strava has ingrained itself as the de facto running and biking social app. You can certainly use other (better) apps for tracking and insights, but there’s no replacement for its community offering. They’ve put t

When FB/Twitter/whoever dropped it, they open sourced the platform completely — they just weren’t offering managed hosting anymore, and they weren’t maintaining it. This looks like a maintenance effort by the community that has fo

It released a week or two ago, so if you've been using Zoom recently, you might not have noticed. It's under the overflow in the bottom right > change layout. I'm on Firefox/Mac and has worked fine for me.

This is what I currently do with my app. The code is open source, it's free for anybody to build and install, the build steps are simply clone and build with Android Studio. I upload the debug .apk as a GitHub release with no valid key

Mostly off topic, but has anybody been able to get hot reload working with TypeScript and React Native? I’m not sure if I screwed something up along the way in my set up when I made the switch about 8 months ago, but I feel like hot reload

Problem is, this was developed 5 years ago, well before the developer joined Microsoft. I understand where you're coming from, but the article is misleading.

I'm very interested in getting started with this! One question, is there a way to change the key binding for switching active panes? Right now it seems like the only option is to use Tab and is the only key binding that doesn't ap

My first experience with programming was my 7th grade teacher, a woman who inspired me so thoroughly, I still try to make regular visits to see her when I'm in town (10 years later). She had my class use Adobe Flash to create animation
