I just got auth working with JWT through total vibecoding, using Claude+RooCode. Other bits of the app I needed a couple of tries, but auth worked immediately. I guess these models have seen express + node + JWT a million times. I don'

That's a good point. I didn't mean to demean React developers: I've been one for years and I can't say I optimized everything I could've. The blame for not caring enough about performance and UX is on the whole indu

I don't think that is fundamentally broken. React is just not the right technology for a single button, and it's not trying to be. If you tried to use photolitography (the technology used to print the circuits in microprocessors)

I'm not happy about how bloated most React sites are, and I've mostly stopped using it unless clients specifically request it after years of it being my main framework, but... > The issue is that these huge frameworks have made

Because their argument, in which they do have faith, is that a cacophony of disagreeing viewpoints casting doubts on the common national project is hurtful, even if those doubts are unfounded and those viewpoints unsubstantiated. I'm n

Thanks a lot for your answer! How about the database? You're just using IndexedDB for the persistence? How was the experience of working with it?

Congrats on shipping! I'll try it out on my next freelancing project. I love this approach of local-first webapp, with optional sync afterwards. I've been working on a journaling/note-taking app with a similar approach, but f

I have one and my main gripe with it is how large the power brick is. It's practically like carrying a second mini pc; I didn't take this into account when I got it, lesson learned.

The map doesn't go that close to the present. "Northern" was added to the name in 2019, before it was just Republic of Macedonia. > "The Prespa agreement of June 2018 saw the country change its name to the "Repub

You mean tablet? Has that ever been done, having the tablet provide both power AND monitor to an external computer? Sounds a bit odd to me, specially considering the tablet is already a full computer. I love this form factor for its nostalg

Out of curiosity, what culture are you referring to? I've known a few individuals trying to do such changes, but no wider culture.

There are more options. Many medications are usually prescribed together with other meds, to help with the side effects. We may adjust the formulations, or learn what to compliment it with.

In and of itself, the product might be a decent MVP to validate the idea or some aspects of the design. The problem is in how they've marketed. If you're taking people's money and giving them an MVP, you need to be upfront ab

I appreciate it too, and they're of course going to call it "open weights", but I reckon we (the technically informed public) should call it "weights-available".

I'm curious, when do you need this? I still use `writeFileSync` and such out of habit, but I don't think I really need them since we got first-level await (out of async functions).

There was a time I was writing scripts using Node about once a week, and I settled on ShellJS. I don't remember loving the experience. Haven't had this need in at least a year though. From looking on npmtrends[0], ShellJS still se

What happens if you pick Dax and a year later it's Bun-shell that emerges as "the winner"? If you stick to Python until a winner emerges, how does that help you? You'd have some old scripts in python, and some new ones i

I've been wanting something like this recently. I want to occasionally have my "virtual computer" with me to use on other hardware. (ie my SO's laptop, my Steam Deck; hardware I mostly trust). I find myself bringing my l

I don't think the assumption is you'd be doing that all the time. It's just good that you can do it if needed. If my laptop is stolen, I can just buy any linux-compatible laptop and run this, or I can borrow someone else&#x

I love named parameters. Whenever I use Python or Swift, I hate having to come back to languages like C or Javascript that don't have them. It just seems like such a clear win to me, that and writing long numbers like 1_000_000. So muc

The Non-Men from Prince of Nothing are more or less elf-equivalent, and I thought it gives a much darker and more interesting interpretation on the impact that immortality and tremendous historic loss can have on such a race. However, I rec

So many laws go against human nature; those might be the most important laws. I don't expect the greedy and powerful to change, but as a society we should do more to protect whistleblowers, the same way we protect threatened witnesses.

Since you mentioned this, what would you say would be the right Lisp for more pragmatic, cynical reasons? What Lisp should we learn if we want to make money from it?

This is, IMHO, a very weak argument. "Applying your principles to these hypothetical situations might lead to a situation you, western consequentialist, would feel is abhorrent." Yeah, we all know our feelings and intutions abou
