The escalator hole to the train station at Helsinki Vantaa airport is so impressive it gave me momentary vertigo

is a crop field substantively different to a manicured lawn? - monoculture - drenched in pesticides - planted in place of whatever was there previously

flying over Finland made me realise how ecologically dead Britain is. Farmland is not nature

I was trying to figure out why Google maps was saying there’s no trains to stansted AND ITS BECAUSE IT TRIES TO MAKE YOU TAKE A BUS FROM THE TRAIN STATION TO THE TERMINAL (which are like a minute apart) WITH A TEN MINUTE WALK EACH SIDE OF THE BUS

that's actually a kinda neat concept - letting people use "in game" currency to bet on the future like count of a post. This could give even stronger signals to feed algorithms than the raw like count.

3. use trpc if appropriate (aka e2e typesafe react query)

if you haven’t tried react query PLEASE give it a try!! It’s not just for fetching stuff, it’s for dealing with ALL asynchronous state in a beautiful way. you will never write a useEffect again

I have 12k LoC for Graysky and 24 useEffects, almost all of which are either syncing with external state, like messing with react navigation, or invalidating/setting the react query cache. zero fetches :) an old project from before I discovered RQ has almost twice as many useEffects per LoC

Oh no cursed fix idea to graysky’s scroll position in threads being terrible: invert the flashlist and the data, then use onBottomReached to append to top

I’ve tried so many things but literally every react native list thingy assumes each item is of fixed (or at least known) size!
