Write code that is easy to delete, not easy to extend in c/programming@programming.dev
[–] samus7070@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I think the responder means that duplicate code is usually easy to refactor into single methods. Typically I see copy pasted code that is changed just a little bit. However much of a duplicated function can be broken into smaller functions and the redundant code removed in favor of calling into the functions. Often what is left then becomes easier to reason about and refactor accordingly. I love the PRs that I make which delete more code than I add but still manage to add functionality. It doesn’t happen often but it’s fun when it does.

My frustrations with Rust. Why is this the most loved language? in c/rust@programming.dev

If your primary exposure to programming is only typescript or JavaScript maybe you shouldn’t be jumping straight into something like rust. JS is a high level language and rust is aimed at the lower levels where things can’t be as automatic. There are many languages out there like C#, Kotlin and Swift that will help you get used to the idea of strong types and immutability.

Developing Flutter apps for Large screens (medium.com)
 

Last year, we partnered with the team at gSkinner to develop Wonderous, a reference app to showcase the high-quality experiences possible with Flutter. One of the goals for creating Wonderous was to provide an open-source example that demonstrates best practices. In that same spirit, we audited Wonderous against Android’s large screen guidelines.

It's a Medium article but shouldn't count against any stupid quotas since it is from the Flutter team.

Xcode 15 issue related to Flutter 3 — Fix (medium.com)
 

I haven't seen any of the issues mentioned in the article. I suspect it is related to the libraries the author's project is using and I may not be using. These look like good temporary workarounds until fixes in the libraries can be rolled out.

Everything you need to know about Enum with Flutter and Dart (lyabs.hashnode.dev)
 

Here's a nice simple article explaining enhanced enums that have been around for a while but may be something overlooked. Between these and sealed classes I think Dart has an excellent story for pattern matching.

RaspberryPi 5 Review (www.tomshardware.com)
 

It looks like a big improvement over the 4 but sadly needs active cooling or it throttles under load quickly. It has a new form factor which requires a new case too. Still there are a lot of great additions that make it a good upgrade.

Value and Type parameter packs in Swift explained with examples (www.avanderlee.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://programming.dev/post/3558087

Type parameter packs and value parameter packs allow you to write a generic function that accepts an arbitrary number of arguments with distinct types. As a result of SE-393, SE-398, and SE-399, you can use this new feature from Swift 5.9.

Implementing Multiplatform Kotlin library (kt.academy)
 

Usually when I read a KMP article it talks about mobile. This one is about JS and the JVM.

Making Multiplatform Better (talkingkotlin.com)
 

In this episode, we talk to Rick Clephas, one of the Kotlin Foundation Grants Program winners and the creator of KMP-NativeCoroutines and KMM-ViewModel.

When I last used KMP it was before the new memory model so I avoided coroutines as much as possible. A year later and it looks to be so much easier and better now.

I wish I could say that Google is better at that. It’s basically the same story but with even less humans to talk to when you’re flagged for doing something wrong or in the case of Google your former college roommate whom you haven’t seen in 10 years did something wrong. It’s the price all mobile devs pay unless they only want to distribute to a small subset of users who have liberated their phones.
