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 ap…

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]…

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 + aft…

It’s a very recent change, announced in September of 2022. You haven’t missed much! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32708921

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 su…

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 ar…

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…

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, bet…

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 (S…

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 r…

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 a…

Many of the games are implemented by volunteers!

“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 th…

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 certai…

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 ther…

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…

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 an…

Disclaimer: not a lawyer. The California Supreme Court ruled essentially that the stricter state's laws take precedence, in this case, California's Two-party consent law [1]. [1] h…

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 uplo…

No, I can still hide my friend’s list. Settings > Privacy > “Who can see your friends list?”

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 mad…

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 u…
