I did something similar, for a dashboard type of web app that involves a lot of graphs. JS graph APIs pretty much all expect data as JSON-formatted JS variables, not HTML. So I use HTMX to make the server requests, using triggers defined in

Very similar experience, I often open the app and it is still hung up on my previous (completed) order and I have to clear out the cart. And like you said, the "offers" are good (actually McD has raised prices quite a bit, now wit

To be clear, I was not justifying the current architecture, I specifically wrote "an entirely different architecture could very easily work much better." I was pointing out, however, that, as is often the case, the initial estimat

I'd guess that 100x database interactions per order may be more like it. Upon startup, there's a whole login, check app version, payment cards still valid, geo query sequence. Check user's point total, rewards, custom offers.

I am, for better or worse, a "heavy user" of the McDonald's app. And unfortunately, all this architecture somehow still misses so many usability issues. The most annoying one, is that the app always defaults to the closest lo

Specifically because it's December, take a look at whitewater rafting in Chile on the Futaleufu River. Not cheap but looks absolutely amazing. (if it was summer I'd suggest Middle Fork of Idaho's Salmon River, which I've

Got a demo a few months back, was told Kotlin support (as alternative to Python) is on the roadmap... how soon might that be a reality?

If we're talking JSON document visualization, it's essential to point out this brilliant page: https://altearius.github.io/tools/json/index.html Was formerly hosted at http://chris.photobooks.

Not going to solve all your problems but one very simple tip that seemingly very few sub-30 year-olds have received... is your resume/CV very basic black text on white background (no colored fonts/backgrounds) in Times New Roman (

I think Fly.io would be a great platform for my apps but sadly they do not support the JVM. Sure, I could Dockerify my apps but at that point a simple VPS isn't much different.

It's been mentioned a bit on HN but HTMX is brilliant and along with AlpineJS, you have immense power despite very little JS, or even none at all. With almost everything happening on the backend, you can focus almost all development en

No, relying on mega-frameworks and non-optimized graphic images are the express train to large request sizes. Don't forget video. Indeed.com's search results are almost all text. Maybe a company avatar. No reason it can't pro

Nothing needs to be "unbounded." Set the cap at 100 or 200 records instead of 10-20. Better yet, plenty of results can be cached. A custom search might require a database query, but Newegg's initial listing of MicroSD cards,

Why does every web site default to aggressively paginate their information? Pagination sucks, it's a waste of time and of clicks, and should be a last resort. Sure, when Google returns millions of search results, paginate. But: For in

Been laid off a few times. Many people will disagree with this, citing necessary privacy, but if your goal is to avoid being "cruel," my advice is to let people keep their work files. Obviously with some restrictions... one progra

Definitely not a no-brainer. Don't want my CSVs integrating with APIs (or in the cloud at all), and I'm confident the desktop version handles large files better than a cloud solution would, as well as being far more responsive, qu

Congrats. v1 is very good.

An opposing viewpoint: please don't add any of these suggested features. I prefer the programs that manipulate CSV to only express the actual contents of the file. Formulas are the antithesis of that. The beauty, and utility, of CSV is

BazQux.com, since a few weeks after Google Reader shut down. Nearly 10 years and I can't remember a single outage. Works great on both desktop and mobile.

Bouncers are watched by cameras too. And if they don't allow in legitimate ticket holders (unless incapacitated, abusive, etc), they get removed from the job. The owner of the nightclub can't risk his business being sued, or fined

How does a bank ensure you can withdraw your money? Surely the teller can just raid your account and give your cash to his/her friends. I don't think anything can 100% prevent illegal activity, but eventually someone who abuses th

Dirtybird Flight Club is a new (Oct 2021) NFT project, backed by the Dirtybird record label, that has held multiple free DJ events exclusively for NFT holders. So yes they connect to real world activities, and yes they are enforceable.

Sorry if my post was confusing -- I created the game this year as a way of celebrating turning 50 and reconnecting with my college friends, we were all obsessed with Tecmo when it first came out in 1991.
