It’s a chromatic tuner, there is no other setting

Ah yes, my bad!

Does anything similar like this already exist? Ie how do drone shows get planned today?

Hey this looks cool but wanted to highlight a bug. I opened the bot, tapped on sample video and I got the “translating a sample Turkish drama…” message twice. Then it said “your first translation is ready” so I press view in the app and the recent list shows the duplication. It says the first one is ready but the second was in progress. I close the app and see a “our whale friend is gathering video” with a progress bar. So I guess it’s not ready? Then I get a failure message which looks like the second video failed? Anyway, cool idea but it seems buggy and I think the app UX could be simplified, good luck!

Thanks for your report, I will try to fix it asap :D Please open the mini app inside the bot, it has much better UI.

Amazing landing for statphone, mind if I ask if it’s using any sort of UI library?

I must concur, very tasteful.

[popupeyecare → sunnybeetroot]

Nope. Just iterated slowly. Started by looking templates I liked on dribbble.

It’s nice to debug Apple platform projects immediately

Lume is also a nice wrapper around it

1 limitation is Apple Virtualisation does not offer USB passthrough for connecting to iPhones for iOS development.

Yes, anything Apple platform development

Refactoring works half the time, Android Studio is much more stable for basic developer tooling.

[ZenDroid → sunnybeetroot]

Because it's developed by JetBrains (with Google contributions), a company whose main business is writing really good IDEs. Apple on contrary is a hardware company that happens to build software. If they had delegated the XCode development to JetBrains, we would have had a great IDE for macOS/iOS development too. AppCode was damn good with zero support from Apple side, and despite the fact that JetBrains always needed to catch-up with Apple's breaking changes.

[cosmic_cheese → sunnybeetroot]

I've not found Android Studio to be particularly amazing for those kinds of features either. Sometimes they work, sometimes they half-work, and on occasion I've had them do the wrong thing entirely.

A lot of refactoring work across both platforms ends up being manual one way or another.

On: Stepping down as Mockito maintainer after ten years

[sunnybeetroot]

Subclasing and overriding is not a good idea. There is no compilation failure if you forget to override a function which can lead to flakey tests at best and prod data impact at worst.

[wmichelin → sunnybeetroot]

your test environment should not have the credentials to write to prod data. yiiiiikes!

[sunnybeetroot → wmichelin]

Credentials end up existing in prod because the person used Mochito and didn’t override the function for providing credentials :’c

[senbrow → sunnybeetroot]

Credentials should only be provided at the application root, which is going to be a different root for a test harness.

Mockito shouldn't change whether or not this is possible; the code shouldn't have the prod creds (or any external resource references) hard coded in the compiled bytecode.

[sunnybeetroot → senbrow]

I totally agree, I’m being tongue in cheek, but given how poor some codebases can be, the more precautions the better ie compilation failures on non-mocked functions.
