I think for a personal project that you use for your own ends, you can use whatever you like:)

But in general, I agree!

We have a project we unejected to CRA. Or maybe injected...

It is a mess... But you can often get a project running an awful lot quicker than in python

Don't know about films but kids TV programs seem to do this.

Edit, father who has seen Paw Patrol in lots of different regional versions on different streaming service.

Oooh I wonder if I could get that here - things like npm install(presume any package manager, certainly homebrew) or git commands take obscenely long times.

We've been made to use Macs at work now and they have McAfee on that we can't disable, causes no end of performance issues

This was an interesting read for a database novice. It seems like a lot of the quoted stats are about in memory datasets - is that realistic?

If I see any pictures of UK footage I can usually identify the signs the SWP have given out by the font.

I think it might be used more in places that have history with European (maybe just British?) Colonialism.

Thanks! I use a Mac for work but Linux at home. Got it working in Linux with rvm in the end.

Very much enjoying doing some rails after years of JS

I agree with the other comments about the attitude of the post.

But as they mention, it can be hard to install ruby/python. Node is normally much easier. I've given up on getting react native going on my personal laptop, and I do react for a loving.

I've tried redux toolkit in production and it is a lot better... But I still wouldn't choose redux on balance.

I have built a react app to be mounted inside an existing angular app (not my idea) it was... Interesting

Somebody will always tell you that you are unprofessional and unethical if you strike, in my experience.

Would threads or processes be a great way of simulating how a user interacts with a web app though?

I tend to think of them clicking things and waiting for a response then moving on to the next thing when that happens (or failing the test when it doesn't) which seems to fit well with an async model.

Cypress _does_ do a lot of magic behind the scenes to stop you explicitly using async/await or promises in the code... Which occasionally bites it.

Especially when you have to use a .then to use values you pull from the Dom.

The idea behind the code being async is that you don't know how long things will take, especially talking to a backend, or even sometimes DOM manipulations in dynamic pages like you mention.

Having said that, I find parts of it v confusing (although not the asyn stuff) especially around assertions - there seem to be multiple ways to do things and I'm never clear which is which.

As a sibling reply said, try to write cypress (or other similar product) tests not to rely too much on layout - I use html data attrivutes rather than text or Dom based selectors, so the tests can survive most redesigns, and if they don't, it's because the user journey has changed enough that we _should_ be changing the tests.

Did you try custom commands? I have some for more basic stuff like 'get data-value attribute for the element with data-name attribute of x' which I can use in any test.

That said, I find checking for specific values in the page against other page values to be really difficult so if you're doing that with the table... good luck!

cy.exec() lets you run general system commands iirc. Istr seeding a database with it before running tests, I think if that command fails with Nonzero, the test would fail.

I am similar, as are most people I know, yet it just seems to be the kind of thing that people think is great and that people love

Iberia Airlines were scary when I had to have two extra flights with them including unplanned stops in Madrid and Cairo

I use react all day and the thought of doing it without JSX chills me

Stunts was so good. Ran it on my 1MB 386. You could record games and play them back from different angles.

You could design your own tracks and I remember finding a glitch if you raced the indycar at top speed towards the biggest ramp where it would fly into the air and be bound only by the top of the coordinate system. Great times (and I don't even like car games...)

I think it's saying your current salary is five percent less than what you want for the new job?

They'd expect you to be wanting an increase in order to move?

Interesting example, and yes these cases are valid...

I think I should have explicitly rather than implicitly defined class as more broad than just 'has a lot of money' - these examples are kind of 'working class but became successful' rather than 'upper class'?

Edit - and then used that definition rather than just saying The Rich

I work on a project where:

Patch - a build we do to be deployed to clients test environment that we don't control

Minor - a prod build for client

Major - reserved for when the client demands a complete redesign of the app

It works for us, for this project... And of course nobody else is depending on it

I don't think the rich are particularly held back by any classism they might experience.

Yeah, grid is pretty much not worth it imo, as you have to do so much differently. You can make flexbox work though.

Without wanting to diminish what you're saying, which makes a lot of sense - I feel like we should be trying to avoid complex layouts on mobile - at least in the browser.

And you're right that screen sizes can mess stuff up, Firefox/chrome mobile view on devtools doesn't always tell the full story... Got something working there and it was broken on my actual phone.

True - I'm lucky not to have to consider versions of IE prior to 11 on most projects I work on, and I can usually get things working there, although there's a flexbox thing that I always forget with IE11 that catches me out.

I stand by my comment if you don't have to do IE < 11 though.

I think a _lot_ of this is standardised now in the vast majority of browsers people use.
