I wrote an spa as babbys first development that was quite literally one html page with all actual sections just hidden/shown and it was horrible and I'll never do it again

thinking about it it was more like a mobile app. Gross.

Looking at the changelog for chrome 70 it's so weird... Desktop progressive apps and public key support are very similar to existing features that chrome has had for more than a decade. I guess it's good these things are being done right now but it makes me wonder why this took so long.

The trend of capitalizing it may have come from http://vanilla-js.com/ which is a sort of joke that describes framework-less js as if it's a new framework.

It's kind of funny to me that just using the language without framework garbage is a joke in and of itself.

I think the idea is that developers pay a lot of attention to whatever the hot new framework is but don't think to periodically go back and see how much better plain javascript has gotten.

I mean I personally hate javascript and certainly wouldn't write an SPA in plain javascript without react and typescript, but using jquery seems pretty unnecessary now.

the apis you get on the dom are a lot better. things that used to be a pain like service calls are easier to do. the browsers mostly implement it in a predictable way now.

and on top of that the language has gotten a lot nicer to use on a modern browser.

a manager at my last job categorized unit tests as non-functional requirements. "non-functional" simply meant "unimportant" to him so he discouraged working on them as much as possible

when their flagship software imploded it practically killed the whole company

We should start pretending that they're called "unit" tests because you work on them, together with the rest of the functionality, as a "unit".

imo that's the #1 argument for using ci and writing unit tests first. more for the benefit of bureaucracy than the development process itself

if you tell management the feature works but you haven't written unit tests yet, they might tell you to skip it

if you tell them the build is broken, they'll panic and give it top priority

i am a terrible programmer. holy cow

-i think i might be debugging on a release build, but i'm not sure yet. i have other things to do
-my live video effects app does several confusing things, and i've been stressing really hard to get the assets work on all supported iphones, including the ones with the dreaded notch. i have not tested on them

one of the confusing things it does is place the logo watermark on the preview as a UIImageView over the metal view that renders the effected video frames. i also need to sometimes render the watermark on the metal view, but it is slightly pixelated and not nice looking because the video preview is upscaling a smaller render for gpu optimization. however, the capture renders it at a higher quality thus not pixelated. so i need to switch between the uiimageview and the ciimage that gets drawn onto the metal view. the scaling between these two are totally different not only because of the upscaling in the metal view, but because metal draws strictly with pixels and not points. after figuring out the math, it looks like there is a little margin of error. the logo is slightly wider on the metal view. i'm not sure this is because the metal view is wider than it should be or because my math is wrong on how to convert this

is there some sort of tool or cheat sheet for doing like a reverse syntax lookup for c++?

as in “yes this sequence of names, colons, braces, and brackets is defining a something that inherits from something and something and the overrides something and then...”

You're in luck! Parsing C++ source code is famously straightforward.
