@spongessuck I hope they're not XD but who knows with this codebase

Adding to my previous comment, the problem is that this codebase is full of "wrong" code that shouldn't compile from like, a type checking perspective... but it does, and I'll give props to the people who wrote it in the sense that like, they clearly know how the typescript compiler will output code well enough to know how to make this work...

@rEaL-jAsE no thanks, I prefer statically typed languages, especially when it comes to larger codesets

Why have to add extra runtime checks and such to ensure the data is what you expect it to be when you can have the compiler do it for you.

I also like being able to know what types a method takes/returns without needing to look up the documentation.

@IntrusionCM I get how promises work, that being said if I was writing some code that relied on the database being set up, on the initial run, would it not make sense to be able to wait for that to finish before executing the rest of the code?

I understand why we have async and promises and such, and maybe it's just the way this framework is written that makes it difficult to do, but there should be a way to have the code wait for the tables to finish being created.

Stuff like this is why I've been hesitant to approach word press...

@C0D4 well if I decide to continue maintaining/improving this app after I graduate then I'll probably throw it into a database (also not sure I could legally sell it back to them XD)

@hitko honestly didn't even know that was a thing, was trying to make an httprequest using volley, ended up using retrofit which worked fine for whatever reason

@vane one that I should know considering I've made it in the past XD, my java is rusty apparently

it's only 1 letter off so I don't blame you, my work around is to just build the hands in another function and pass them, but it's such a janky way of doing things...

no not using MVVM for this assignment, just following how my prof suggested to do things, we have a library that has a list of callback interfaces that calls updategui, and even if I did use MVVM the problem is that the callback from the service isn't firing for whatever weird reason, it's just odd that having the List like that would cause that issue

I would delete facebook... just cause I'm not a fan of how they've handled things, but I have too many contacts (and I don't use instagram or whatsapp sooo ya :P)

how about noooo :P

That's horrible... I suppose on the bright side winters winding down so you shouldn't be too cold...

@Banele I mean to an extent, school has been brutal with deadlines... but I still enjoy programming overall... though I'm hoping on the job my attention won't be split across 6 different projects at once...

@ZethMatthews

Makes sense, gives them some example scenarios to learn from. Wait are there people who just try and dive right into documentation?

da heck... isn't that what UI developers are supposed to do? Why are you doing it... Should probably just give them a hexpicker and let them send you the info they need...

Haven't been following this as closely as I probably should, but this just makes me want to get away from facebook more...

I mean I can't currently get rid of it entirely, too many contacts that I can only reach via facebook... And like my mcdonalds shift swap group is only on facebook... but geez...

@Tokimimo I'll have to look into that at some point...

Omg that image is the best... also sounds like a huge pain... my C# professor loves to make us parse data in the weirdest of ways... like having us read in a json file, then split it in the weirdest way, then parse is manually... all for the sake of teaching some niche C# function

Done that before...
