Are you sure you like Apollo? I ask because your comment says it's wonderful, but then gives a lot of reasons as to why it's not. I don't like Apollo on the client (no issue with it server side). I feel the sharp edges and pi

I pretty much totally agree. FWIW, I do think there might be some good things on the horizon. Rome has a lot of potential, as do Remix and Svelte. We'll get past this :)

You certainly have more experience and context than me. But my experience with Redux over the years is there was so many ways to do it leading to a lot of uncertainty. Do you use a switch statement or something like redux-actions? Do you us

I largely came to the same conclusion, including going back to Redux. I have found using Apollo for client side state very cumbersome and even difficult. You really do need to understand their cache well, and I also dislike having to deal w

I also think the fact it doesn't work in JS (due to sort defaulting to alphabetical sort) brings in even more appropriate emotions.

This is especially true for the NES due to tools like NESMaker http://makenesgames.com/ There are so many new NES games now it's impossible to stay on top of it all.

I've never used that particular mouse, but $110 seems steep to me. $40 used seems pretty reasonable though. Fwiw I got a $25 ergonomic mouse off Amazon that has served me well for two years now. I agree with the article though, it work

Yup, my bad. Thanks for poking me.

The TypeScript EvenList<T> type at the end does not work as the author is implying. https://www.typescriptlang.org/play?#code/C4TwDgpgBAogbhAdgG... I am not a TS type expert by any means, but I don't believe

Going full client side would also mean you could host it for free and it could handle a ton of traffic.

Basecamp (dhh at least), were very vocal about Apple's app store shenanigans when Hey was under a similar threat. Not quite as loud as Epic here, but still pretty visible. Maybe dhh influenced Epic.

Oh awesome! Thanks for adding that, I will definitely be making use.

I believe it is, based on this: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/08/microsofts-surface-d... I find that very interesting and even significant. The Microsoft of 10 years ago would never in a million years

Storybook as an official documentation tool is a fairly new idea. They added Storybook Docs pretty recently, which is basically stories that can be written in MDX. It also enables you to document a component's props among other things.

Storybook is also a nice launching point for visual diffing. At my previous job we used a tool that ran all of our stories and did an image diff. It makes catching css regressions much easier. There are some challenges, for example when I h

I will eventually write a blog post about it. But in the mean time this tweet give the overall gist https://twitter.com/mattegreer/status/1244012323976515584 I made it so I can create a game scene out of ASCII cha

This is great to see. I've always been a fan of Storybook but have also struggled with it a lot. Each new release has reduced the struggle. To their credit, it's hard to drop something like Storybook into a project because fronten

FWIW, this approach intrigues me as a decent way to bring a web based game I am creating to places like Steam. I like it when people explore different avenues like this. Often nothing really comes of them, but you never know.

I would say they are for me. Reddit has really upped my vim and TypeScript games for example. Twitter is much smaller bites but still lots of useful stuff IMO.

I use i3 on Linux. But MacOS now has native virtual desktops and I think Windows does too.

As a counter point, I find I learn a lot from Twitter, HN and Reddit. In that order too (ie, Reddit is the least useful). Twitter absolutely does wonders for staying on top of tech trends (especially TweetDeck), and has shown me lots of too

It does seem to have a much larger index though, which for me at least makes it more useful. Hopefully hndex's index will grow.

What is the criteria for an article getting into the index? To test it out I tried several of my submissions and could only find one in the index.

I'm not OP. But when I read his reply I got the impression they meant "windows that aren't useful when tiled". Like a laptop screen with three horizontal windows, each window is too tall and narrow to be useful. It'

Like the article states, I think Tweetdeck is more powerful and more useful than normal Twitter. You can see a much broader and deeper view of the topics you are interested in, and see it both at a glance and deeply if you decide to dig in.

Both are woefully behind a good Xorg based window manager. i3 blows Windows and OSX window management out of the water, no matter what add-on is installed. It's dangerous though, one of my biggest fears is getting a job that won't

We need both collaboration and deep work. In my experience, deep work is just shy of non-existent (or gets done late in the evening and on weekends). A proper balance between the two is when a company can truly shine.
