@yacineMTB Ironically the best software engineers I know went to school for electrical engineering. Personally, I think software is pretty easy relative to most other things.

"I don't really know how it works, I just use this function of the IDE to do that" is an INSANE way to write software. Is Java a mental illness?.

Imagine being the US government and thinking that what is perhaps the most needlessly rebellious population in the world will respond well to being told they're not allowed to boycott companies from a particular foreign country. It takes a special kind of historical and.

Finally, here's the configuration I was using for the transpilation process, in case there was any doubt I was doing something weird.

Goodbye, data!. I haven't looked into it super deeply, but I'm assuming this is not an interpretation issue, and follows the spec (behaves this way in every JS runtime I tried). But, just an interesting caveat of leaving behind the property statements in JS.

Now, take a look at how the javascript is interpreted:

However, if you have, for some reason a class that extends a typed array with a guaranteed length, and you want to index that array without turning off `noUncheckedIndexedAccess` or force-unwrapping every value, you might do something like this:

Well this was a weird one to debug. Found an issue with how the @bunjavascript Transpiler works. Specifically, that *unlike tsc*, it leaves behind class property statements by default. Normally this is not an issue, and works just fine 🧵:

@NativeScript Never mind. Looks like the information I had was a lie. (. Best I can tell from some brief discord discussions from last year, you can still only run WASM on Android, and it is even explicitly disabled in the iOS build script:.

Anyone have experience with WebAssembly in @NativeScript?. There is very little documentation on it, but from what I gather, it should be fully supported in both iOS and Android as of NS v7. (. However, both in the simulator and when deploying to a

It's 2025 and this is valid TypeScript. What are we even doing anymore?

Text manipulation (selecting, copying, etc) has gotten so atrocious on iOS. Perhaps that’s why Apple decided to just cut the Gordian knot and make text unreadable with their new UI. 🤷‍♂️.

I had to stop coding and just sit on the couch cause Cursor stopped working cause the entire internet is apparently down and I can't write code without AI anymore.

RT @zimmed_io: @bunjavascript and @NativeScript should really join forces. The native app DX would be unmatched.

Today I learned that if you want the unsigned representation of an integer when it's being represented as signed (for example: `0xff << 24`) you can just do an unsigned right shift of 0. `0xff << 24 !== 0xff000000`.but.`0xff << 24 >>> 0 === 0xff000000`. Seems obvious, but it.

When you have to build your own HTML-crawler and web app because you discover that offers absolutely no way to search or filter through the 500 assets you just purchased in a megapack. It's fine, though. 7 hours later and my app better.

Just saw a wolf spider pop out of and crawl back into an air vent of my laptop. So, I guess I just get a new one, now?. [Insert obligatory debugging joke].

If I ever reach the point of having 343 more followers than I have currently, I will immediately follow 27 new accounts. After that, it will be on the honor system that no one follows me ever again.
