And likewise I feel like a broken record, but try MobX instead of Redux. Much quicker to get started.

Regarding state management, have you tried MobX? It makes state management almost ridiculously simple. I've noticed a slight performance hit using it for deriving values for 60fps animations on React Natuve but in normal usage you&#x27

Good point. I suppose what I meant was more that types are at the core of Elm and pervade every part of the language, whereas TS/Flow are adding types on top of a dynamic language and there are parts where it may be difficult or imposs

Absolutely agree, this is one of the biggest benefits I have found since I started working with Typescript (that, and the ease of refactoring). Of course Flow/Typescript's approach to typing isn't as complete as Elm's, b

I thought the very same thing, as I can see the benefits to both having a single atomic commit for ease of reading history, and to being able to see the individual commits that made it up to avoid losing valuable information about changes.

Ah amazing, thank you! I had been doing it with https://rocketgraph.com/reports/21-discover-weekly-archiver but the archived playlists live within their web app rather than Spotify itself, so I never actually looked at

I was going to say the same, Discover Weekly frequently really impresses me with some of its selections and I have discovered some excellent artists through it. I'm into electronic music - not what I would consider really obscure stuff

I've been using the v2 beta (along with https://github.com/jhudson8/react-chartjs/tree/chartjs-v2 ) and have been really impressed with it in general, thanks for all the hard work!

Thanks for the detailed reply, very helpful :) I wasn't trying to raise an issue at all, merely state that Spacemacs isn't as obvious to a new user as Atom - but I'm not saying that that's a bad thing, obviously (Spac)em

That's a fair point, didn't even occur to me!

I downloaded and tried Spacemacs out of curiosity, after seeing your comment. While I'm sure it adds a lot of usability features compared to the default Emacs config and it looks pretty cool, it's nowhere near as immediately acces

I understand the point here and agree to some extent, but on the other hand I think using a standardised set of emojis makes sense for cross-platform communication apps such as Whatsapp, as I think the meaning of some of them is reasonably

Yeah, you are right. It's just a particularly annoying bug because: 1. It broke my phone pretty fundamentally, 2. It was a third party app that broke core functionality (in a roundabout way), which shouldn't be possible on iOS, 3.

It's happened to both me and my girlfriend. It's not very common but seems to happen sometimes when software is updating when it has a good signal/wifi and you move into an area of no signal. Having been caught out a couple o

Yeah pull to refresh on Mail is dodgy, but it always has been for me. Seems to work on the second or third try...

You're right, I guess "stability" is probably more accurate. At the end of the day, it represents app(s) breaking the phone in very fundamental ways, in spite of the sandboxing iOS enforces (obviously this is a different vect

Interesting, I am fairly certain the problem didn't surface until a few days after installing 9.3 although I could be wrong.

The current theory according to the article is that booking.com's app downloads a 2.4mb file of links for its "universal links" data (that annoying thing where you get taken to an app rather than a website and you can't

Your thoughts echo mine exactly (right down to submitting a story that got no votes!). The fact that this kind of bug would have a lower impact on Android (i.e. wouldn't disable major functionality due to the ability to switch out defa

Good to hear someone has got to the bottom of this. Been unable to use Safari for a few days due to it. I haven't updated any apps for months (I don't trust auto update to not leave my apps in a half downloaded state so I just let

OP here, posting this as I am experiencing this issue with links from e.g. Google on Safari, and links from in-app webviews. I thought the MacRumours link shows the extent of the issue but happy for the link to be changed to a more reliable

I'd say learning is a bit different, it might benefit your current employer but it also benefits your future employment prospects so it makes sense for you to study it in your own time. Working on your employer's work probably doe

I've thought about this too, but I'm not sure I've got the patience to listen to articles read in TTS voice. Anyway, on iOS if you enable voiceover you can read the entire screen by swiping down from the top with two fingers

So it just leaves you in this limbo zone where you don't get to use the features of the native language that make up for it being so crappy, nor do you ever get to use the features of the transpiled language that promises to keep
