Q: React Native FlatList with Scroll-To-load data

Peter StengerI am creating an application that interacts with spotify. A part of my app is a FlatList screen displaying a list of songs and song controls.

@SᴀᴍOnᴇᴌᴀ I was wondering why you were talking about monitors for a moment.
Apparently I'm a bit slow too.
@Peilonrayz Yes. X over SSH.
Although we used something like that to connect with the ntserver as well, but that probably got you the entire Windows environment in a window.
It's been a while.

Yes, it's fine. Keep in mind that asking about security advice of working code is off-topic for Stack Overflow. Code Review is better suited. See their help center: codereview.stackexchange.com/help/on-topicArtjom B. 20 secs ago

@Mast I've never really used X forwarding. But I can see why X forwarding would be nice. FWIW you can install an X server on Windows and X forward. To get WSL apps on Windows you have to.
 
@Peilonrayz Does that work on non-WSL (native Windows) apps too?
 
@Mast I think the X sever acts like a slave/X<->Windows compatibility layer. As such the master windows stay around. I would doubt you could get X over SSH on non-Windows apps. I've only used X on Windows once; OpenGL was foobar so my terminal of choice didn't work...
 
10:14 AM
Hmmm.
 
Oh I made a mistake s/X over SSH on non-Windows apps/X over SSH on Windows apps/
 
Ah, that makes a lot more sense.
Either way it feels like I'm between a rock and a hard place again.
I'm looking for a perfect solution to a situation where none exists, which tends to end badly.
Perhaps it's time to cut-out the VM, it would reduce the layering of the problem significantly.
 
10:31 AM
Hmm, the solution you want could be implemented by remote desktop software to be remote window software. However if Steam's RWS is anything to go by... RWS becomes RDS very quickly if the software breaks.
 
Yes, that sounds like a great idea that never got implemented correctly for Windows systems.
 
while (true) { ... break; } is a bit strange ((exception if using continue inside it)) but better try Code Review (also a Stack Exchange site) if that is the reason for this post — user15244370 58 secs ago
 
It doesn't help that "X Windows on Windows to Windows" is a terrible search query...

"XOrg display server" or "X11" may make the first part a bit easier... but... good luck!
 
10:48 AM
@Peilonrayz Apparently X11 forwarding wasn't available in the now-native OpenSSH at Win 10 build 1809.
It appears Windows uses this version of portable OpenSSH
Hardly seems to be under active development.
 
@Mast Ugh, I can guess why but... You could try (Windows + X) -> WSL -(SSH)> Remote but eh, still kinda horrible
@Mast I thought my answers were long, just trying to see the readme on that repo. Holy moly
 
The entire repo seems filled with lots of words and little substance.
@Peilonrayz Here's the relevant issue.
> I've seen 3 different people say the same thing 3 times now - that the latest version of OpenSSH will make it into the "next" version of Windows. It never happens :/
Seems like even if it works, it may not be production ready.
 
11:05 AM
@Mast And I'm still on v7.7...
VcXsrv was a PITA to set up the first time. If you go admin privileges all the way you get something which works
 
Got them everywhere except on the server, for obvious reasons.
 
If you don't go admin privileges all the way, you brick your firewall rules and have to use admin privileges to remove firewall rules and reinstall the damn thing.
Oh by "all the way" I meant local admin rights when installing VcXsrv
 
I SSL VPN inside, the firewall is irrelevant, right?
 
Windows Firewall on your local machine
You need ports open to communicate with the X server (which is a local server)
 
It's not the same port as the rest of SSH?
 
11:14 AM
I think I'm explaining this wrong. Maybe s/server/daemon/ would make more sense? To communicate with X you need to talk over the network (but not going outside the machine)
 
And I can't force that over VPN like I do with RDP because...?
 
Think of the X server like a web server. To communicate you need to talk on network protocols. But if you have a local web server say a Flask dev server, using a VPN makes no sense because the server would be local to the machine.
 
X11 usually uses a local unix socket, which is a whole other beast and part of the issue why X11 forwarding to Windows is still a mess.
Monking
 
VcXsrv is an X server for Windows
 
Similar to Xming?
 
11:25 AM
Yeah
@Mast I presumed <- was in response to this which talks about VcXsrv
 
@Peilonrayz Yes.
And this
Which is roughly the same issue it appears mentioned in a different place.

@Mast I've managed to get X forwarding working fine. Had to correctly enable X forwarding on the server but otherwise works fine. But I did get Windows -> WSL working which was more involved before.
Oh I'm forwarding as Windows -> WSL -(SSH)> Remote
 
You're (ab)using WSL as intermediary?
 
Wow, I can even forward kitty (the OpenGL terminal which wouldn't work with WSL)
@Mast Yeah. I'm being lazy, I already set up WSL and I didn't want to figure out how to setup Window's SSH correctly
 
If that enables a more sensible X11 forwarding, it might be just the way to go.
 
The remote is a Linux box. Getting remote working to a Windows box will probably be more involved
 
Yea, the problem is with getting the X server set-up. Connecting to a well-configured system is the easy part.

@Mast Thanks ^^
 
I learned a lot about flags from Charcoal.
 
Is that how the answer now marked as Spam/Abusive?
Kinda like the "Thanks" No Longer Needed auto delete?
@CaptainObvious Me thinks the code may be broken. Note < vs <=, and the fact the if is pointless if the input is sorted, which the for loops assume.
 
If this answer works, then go to Code Review, take their tour, read their how to ask help page, then post your code there. Here, your question is justifiably closed as 1. Needs More Focus, 2. Needs Clarity, 3. Opinion-based. — mickmackusa 56 secs ago

This question is really off-topic for this forum. It's too opinion-based. Maybe consider codereview.stackexchange.com (though you should check the site first for what is considered on-topic there). That said: The model should not have any references to UI elements, such as labels. The view should observe the model and react to changes, instead of the model directly updating the view. — James_D 39 secs ago

Are you asking for a code review, or are you having a specific problem with your code that you need help with? You've included a lot of code in the question, but you never call validerNom. What are you planning on passing as the argument to -TableauUserName? — Mathias R. Jessen 26 secs ago
Mmmm. This seems so far beside the point I'm tempted to point out that this is not correct case-folding. If we're going to be "precise" about things, I'd point out you should use proper locale-aware collations with full UNICODE awareness as appropriate. This calls for a party with ICU or something :) Also, can't help but noticing the <string_view> include, but then the sudden lack of interest in using it to create "safish" interfaces. Now I have the urge to do code review again. Bah. — sehe 43 secs ago
