I can imagine it showing up in an instructional book or article about how to indicate to your web site visitors that a hyperlink is to an external site, or perhaps in a comment about the Unicode standard body rejecting it. Neither of those

Yes, I would expect to see it in books about web design, for instance.

Are you sure there isn’t a slow server request happening before the UI update? I would be very surprised that you’re regularly encountering web sites with noticeably slow React reconciliation. It’s difficult to make that slow.

I'm sure it depends a lot on your location and peer group. In San Francisco, where I live, it's very common for healthy 20- and 30-somethings to get the flu shot every year. I try to remember to get it every year, and there's

It’s not an unsolved problem. There are very many React apps with SSR, and popular frameworks that use React and provide straightforward SSR data fetching patterns.

I agree with that, but I highly doubt that many web sites with performance problems can attribute those problems to React or whatever UI library they’re using. The reason that you see React or Angular when you check under the hood is that t

It’s true that there’s no official React guidance on doing this, and doing so would probably require official React choices for routing, global state management, etc. which the React team is clearly not interested in doing. But there are po

Most web developers are probably not particularly concerned about how fast their code is in relative terms. There’s a huge amount of room for UI library benchmark competitions that all lie easily within “good enough for the user.” It’s also

Couldn’t that simply be because bundlers/compilers are really nice and that’s why people choose to use them despite the fact that they’re optional?

It would be a strange choice to not use the best tool for the job because one of the acronyms that’s related to that tool stands for something that for historical reasons doesn’t precisely describe the job.

I don’t understand. Prop drilling or global state libraries like Redux don’t change the fact that the HTML of your site is a function of its inputs. Those are just two different ways to implement this concept of the HTML being a function of

The SSR data fetching story really isn’t much different than the story for managing global state in React on the client. It’s true than a client-side React application could just do AJAX requests on component mounts (or in a useEffect hook)

I should be more clear. I mean the dichotomy between a web site that is only rendered on the server (which is not more difficult to build now than it was 10 years ago), and web sites that have significant client-side interactivity (which

None require React specifically, of course. I’m only referring to the dichotomy between server-rendered apps and apps with significant client-side interactivity.

by baddox 6y ago
It’s not more difficult now to make dynamic server-rendered web sites than it was 10 or 20 years ago (I don’t know about PHP these days, but it’s never been easier to start a new Django or Rails app), but your clients will probably want fea

> simple JS-based app I’m glad I made it to the end. Why use React for a simple JS-based app when you’re very aware of many reasons you don’t like it for this purpose? If you’re being forced or pressured to by an employer or even the ent

Limits would break, which might break or at least cause problems with calculus and other branches of math.

I don’t know, I don’t recall students having much trouble accepting that 1 = 1.0 = 1.000.

But you absolutely can evaluate that limit as N goes to infinity and correctly conclude that 1/3 does equal 0.333 repeating.

> Any argument that 0.999... is not quite 1 can also be used to argue that 0.333... is not quite 1/3. Yes, but there aren’t good arguments for either of them, and that’s the point. The difference is that you have probably already le

How are police, judges, jurors, etc. exempt from this narrative? Or do you believe that the entire legal system simply should not exist at all, given that it clearly needs to determine the truth value of important statements?
