DO NOT EVER DARE manually editing a code snippet outside the editor.

Tinkeringbell

@Derpy Isn't everything where you can edit code technically an editor?

Somewhat

The code snippet is a beast though

Shadow the Welcoming Wizard

@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog thanks... but 1) It's already over and 2) It's a special holiday where people should think about their sins towards other people and redeem them by being honestly sorry and fasting... aka it's the single day/holiday where we shouldn't be happy. All good, since you had no idea to know that, so telling you now. :)

@Tinkeringbell on SE there is the message editor and the HTML/JavaScript/CSS editor

@Tinkeringbell you can insert a runnable code snipped inside a post - think stackblitz/codepen/plunker etc but integrated directly inside the message

but it seems that manually editing the snippet outside the dedicated editor is a little buggy

Shadow the Welcoming Wizard

@Mithrandir nice.. so that's what you did yesterday? ;)

@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog he always lurks

@Tinkeringbell yup... it can be "Tzom Kal" which means "Easy Fasting", or "Gmar Hatima Tova":

Q: Gmar Chasima Tova - What does it mean?

When we wish one another during the Aseres Yemei Teshuva "Gmar Chasima Tova" what does it mean? Does it not depend on what is written in the document? What difference does it make if the seal is good if the document is no good?

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowtheWelcomingWizard "wishing them that the fate that is sealed for them is a good one."... that's a nice thing to wish people :)

Mithrandir

@ShadowtheWelcomingWizard nah, it's got the date in the title

Shadow the Welcoming Wizard

@Tinkeringbell yes, it is! :D

Mithrandir

@Somewhat Well, I was considering making a YT channel

Shadow the Welcoming Wizard

8:34 AM

@Mithrandir oh. But, is this you?

Mithrandir

yes

Shadow the Welcoming Wizard

@Mithrandir is this allowed by רבנים? I'd imagine they might forbid it as many people might watch the videos you upload during Shabbat, thus causing mass "hilul Shabbat" of a sort. No?

Or aren't you that religious? :)

Mithrandir

As long as I'm not actively causing Jewish people to be online when they otherwise wouldn't be it's fine.

I'm Modern Orthodox, not crazy :P

Tinkeringbell

@Mithrandir Waaait. So there's actually people not having a youtube channel because of the off chance that someone may watch their video during Shabbat?

Mithrandir

*shrugs* probably

My biggest worry about creating a YouTube channel is actually that I'm not sure I'm old enough to do that.

You have to be old enough to make a legal contract in your country. Not sure if I can do that here...

Shadow the Welcoming Wizard

8:43 AM

@Mithrandir dunno... sometimes I read about crazy "halachot" so can't know. :)

Mithrandir

Such as?

Shadow the Welcoming Wizard

@Tinkeringbell that still makes some sense. Try a "rule" that forbids Jewish people from tearing toilet paper during Shabbat. They have to prepare the paper in advance. Again, not all follow this of course, but I did have few who did during army, which was funny to be honest, as a side looker. :)

(And I do respect it! Just... well...)

Mithrandir

(If you need it and you don't have any torn, you tear it on the non-perforated part.)

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowtheWelcomingWizard ... I never realized how much work a Shabbat could be. I mean, we got taught a little in school about preparing food in advance and stuff... but not about the toilet patper or youtube ;)

Shadow the Welcoming Wizard

@Mithrandir huh? Details please! Never heard of this. :D

Tinkeringbell

8:47 AM

@Mithrandir ^ That

Mithrandir

@ShadowtheWelcomingWizard It's so that you don't do it the way you normally would, on a weekday.

Shadow the Welcoming Wizard

@Tinkeringbell sure, me neither, if it wasn't for those few army mates, I'd never have heard of it either. And I'm Jewish in Israel....

We do have a gap between religious and non religious people which isn't good.

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowtheWelcomingWizard ? A gap as in... people don't understand each other?

Shadow the Welcoming Wizard

Army is the best place to "mingle".

@Tinkeringbell more like don't know about each other.

Mithrandir

@Tinkeringbell As in, they don't interact too much

Tinkeringbell

8:49 AM

That does sound like a problem

Shadow the Welcoming Wizard

@Mithrandir yes, that's correct as well.

Tinkeringbell

Although you don't necessarily need to interact to learn about and understand, but then you should have religion classes in school or something

Shadow the Welcoming Wizard

@Mithrandir huh, good to know. Did it ever happen to you? (that you needed to tear it on the non-perforated part :))

Mithrandir

@ShadowtheWelcomingWizard probably

Shadow the Welcoming Wizard

@Tinkeringbell these days children get much more classes about bible and religion, due to having a religious Minister of Education, but still... it's probably not enough to make real difference.

Tinkeringbell

8:52 AM

@ShadowtheWelcomingWizard Hmmm. That's probably not what I meant with 'religion classes' :P We had a course in high school called 'religion' and we got taught the principles of all Abrahamic religions, but also about Buddhism, Hinduism, and atheism

So you'd understand it if someone said 'You don't tear toilet paper on Shabbat' because you know some Jewish people probably see that as work and not rest

But you'd also learn the differences between Roman Catholicism and Protestantism, and how that difference came to be

Shadow the Welcoming Wizard

@Tinkeringbell oh... well, we don't really have those.

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowtheWelcomingWizard They foster a kind of understanding without needing interaction per se.

I've never met a Modern Orthodox Jew in real life ;) Yet because I was taught the principles, to an extent, I can understand.

Shadow the Welcoming Wizard

@Tinkeringbell agree, better than nothing.... feel free to send a plea to our government, maybe they'll listen to someone from the outside! :D

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowtheWelcomingWizard Ehhh... I'm not that influential ;)

Shadow the Welcoming Wizard

@Tinkeringbell who knows.... :)

Tinkeringbell

8:57 AM

They probably wouldn't understand :P

Shadow the Welcoming Wizard

Remind them you're a mod on SE network! :D

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowtheWelcomingWizard There has been a lot of pushback against those classes even in The Netherlands... mainly a 'what do we include, what not, and why are you exposing my superreligious saintly child to those kinds of heresies!'

Or 'why does my child have to learn about religion if we're sure those are bogus'

Shadow the Welcoming Wizard

@Tinkeringbell oh, those will be for sure here if such classes are added, yeah.

plz-delete ARIMA meta.stackexchange.com/questions/315676/… @Bart @rene @JourneymanGeek

... I just realized it's a pop cult >_<

Derpy

yeah, right. Anyway, we are currently evaluating various frameworks to use for building the mobile version of a web app that was developed using angular 2+.

Among the various options there were proposal for NativeScripts, Cordova, Ionic, React Native and such...

anyone want to suggest some more (or maybe tell us to stay away from some)?

Tinkeringbell

Does your framework have to do anything in particular? E.g. be able to everything that's also possible in angular?

Derpy

9:12 AM

well, ideally should be able to do push notifications when the app is "closed", support full screen, access gps and photo gallery.

so, apparently, pretty basic.

The point is that we don't have yet much experience in mobile development - our previous experience were more in the PWA field.

So, one of the choice point would be how easy the new framework would be to learn.

For example, some pointed out that using NativeScripts would at least mean that we can partially reuse our Typescript knowledge.

(I can't really say how much of the above is actually true...)

Tinkeringbell

@Derpy I'm not an expert (never developed anything mobile)... but also look at how easy it is to do the things you want to do within the framework you're going with.

A framework may be easy to learn, but not support e.g. push notifications in an easy way...

I always find it easier to learn a new easy way to do something in a new language

then to learn an easy language that requires doing things in a difficult way

Derpy

yep, that's something we will have to do.

Tinkeringbell

On that note... here's a great example of an easy language doing things in a difficult way:

I have a set of two objects

I want to assign both objects to a local variable

I have to loop over the set, do something like

index = 1

Derpy

To be fair, I also wanted to ask in order to see if someone was going to suggest to AVOID some framework.

Tinkeringbell

loop over the set, if index = 1, assign to variable v1, add 1 to index to make index = 2

then enter another loop, where index won't be 1, so I can assign the second object in that set to v2 :/
