My dad bought an 11" MacBook Air in 2011 - I think it was the cheapest possible Mac you could get at the time (maybe $900-$1000?) But I really wanted him to be on MacOS. He basically never used it as a laptop, and it's been plugge

I wasn't dissing SvelteKit. But I've been using it for about 6 months now. It's not perfect. There are currently some things that are very hard to do in SvelteKit that are not hard in other frameworks. It is what it is. That

Svelte doesn't use a virtual DOM and when it compiles, it only targets what you are specifically using it for. The thing with Svelte is that for a big project (like an SPA) you're going to end up using SvelteKit, because that&#x27

This is really why I love Svelte so much. To me, the way components are formatted is how the HTML spec should have evolved over the last 10 years. It's absurd to me that HTML is still "documents" with a head and body wrappe

My bad, apparently BFE is more well known than I remember. It’s cool to have alternatives. I’ll give it a shot, why not?

It won’t be. React had its time and is now waning. The future is frameworks with no virtual DOM that are interoperable with other JS frameworks like Svelte.

Well, webpack has been replaced by vite (for those who pay attention to front-end trendfuckery) which is much simpler than Webpack and Babel is eliminated. We are still not quite at the point where it’s practical to not have a module bundle

Get out of big tech. Your performance is probably not as bad as you think it is. Yes I have been in the same boat and being unemployed was better for my mental health than staying in big tech (as long as you have savings to float you)

Great splash page. This can be a confusing subject. I am dealing with this right now myself and might give it a try and see how it integrates

Yeah not to defend how bad those spaces were but my memories of technical IRC channels on like Freenode was that they were mostly about helping people and discussing the technology the channel was about. You never had to disclose any aspect

I did want to clarify since this is under my real name, to me product managers are similar to project managers. 80% of them are useless- they don’t make the process of building software easier and don’t make the end result better (by whatev

It’s the most useless job in tech and the fact that it even exists is insulting to developers

Good points, but I have to point out that what you're describing is literally what happened with our current system, just less extreme. I was recently quoted $250,000 to buy a .com that is not being used and as far as I can tell has ne

You know what? You're right. That's literally the only proposed blockchain application I think I've ever read that I think would actually work.

The DB connection to Supabase can be made where ever you want it to be. It’s just JavaScript. In Node, a “module” is generally scoped to a file. So you make a db.ts file and export the instance you create and it functions basically as a sin

SvelteKit + Supabase. It’s the opposite of what a lot of people recommend. It’s not battle tested. Both of these technologies are still maturing BUT: I can write everything in JS/TS, I don’t have to get good at Ruby PHP or Python Postg

This is a good post, I feel the same way about the startup I am currently building. I've followed a similar path - built out a very detailed requirements roadmap to keep me on track and there are features on that roadmap that in the pa

It's definitely not common knowledge- especially for people who don't use TikTok and only became aware of it in the last 2-3 years. And I actually think it benefits the Chinese government for this revisionist history of the app to

Man, ever since I started using Svelte and it became apparent to me how React has already crested the mountain and is on the downturn, I cringe so hard when I see how much work is put into React specific stuff by projects like this. I think

>But I could be pretty wrong there. The history of TikTok is actually murkier than that. I listened to a podcast about this, I wish I could find it again. The narrative that seems to be popular is that ByteDance launched this app called

I feel like I always comment on TikTok posts on here, but FWIW this is something I noticed early on about TikTok as well - the app felt well put together. There's even a web app that it is way better than it needs to be if you go on ti

This answers my question - In recent years I have used MacOS with 3 different external displays, and have never had a problem. Their resolution was always QHD. It usually doesn't look as good, but it's not like distractingly bad.

Nope - it happens in several other ways that I've described in my posts. It just hasn't happened in this space yet.

Just to make people aware, Collegeboard is one of the companies that depends on and fosters the "high education industry" to exist. They create and administer the SATs, which students have to pay a fee to take, and that test is a

Apple allows management profiles. But they are much more restricted than the Android version. My point is in an environment like the US, removing the App Store is effectively removed any and all oversight in situations where an organization
