12. React.js ~The best practice for conditional statement~

We tend to write React as functional programming because the functional component is the mainstream. In this era, one of the issues we often encounter is conditional statements. There are a variety of conditional statements, such as if, switch, and ternary operator. We confuse when to use them properly. Assign the result of the conditional statement into a variable This makes it easy to read, test, and modify codebases. The representative case is ternary operator const userName = user ? user.nam...

13. GitHub Actions adds a background marker, and the linear job stops being the only shape

A small word that changes the rhythm of a job For as long as I have been writing Actions workflows I have been carrying a quiet workaround in my head. Want to warm a cache while the build runs? Append & to the shell command, then squint at logs that arrive out of order and pray the job doesn't exit on you. It worked, sort of. It also meant that anything more interesting than "run one thing, then the next thing" lived as folklore, hidden inside run: blocks. GitHub closed that gap this week. On Ju...

1. The dogma of entity-based Services and Repositories

Every day I see more projects where a layer-per-entity approach is created by default: UserService, UserRepository, OrderService, OrderRepository, and so on. My issue is not with layering itself, but with how these layers are used. In theory, a Service should represent application behavior: something that encapsulates real use cases or meaningful interactions with external systems (payments, emails, APIs, etc.). Something with enough significance to justify being isolated. A Repository, in theor...

6. Building an Entity Component System: Data Oriented Hierarchies

Data Oriented Design is the practice of building code that's optimized for the hardware it runs on. Entity Component Systems help writing DOD-friendly code by laying out otherwise allocation-heavy game data in contiguous arrays. A challenge in gamedev however is that lots of game data is stored and accessed as hierarchies that change frequently, which makes them notoriously difficult to store as contiguous arrays. This article goes over a number of techniques an Entity Component System can use t...

He just had to buy a Game Pass for Console subscription, and he suddenly had access to a big library of current-gen games and all of Xbox’s first-party titles the day they released. Sure, games didn’t run quite as well on the slightly less powerful console, but it was good enough for a casual...
