Great insight. Without this approach, A/B testing could be used to generate an infinite stream of meaningless work

I don’t. Because it’s not worth the hassle, as explained in my comment. If I did want to avoid it I could send html for a generic loading state in my base html template, which does not require ssr. If you’re using Wordpress or static site g

I'm sorry people are downvoting, because you are correct. SSR (by which I mean Next.js) is the most over-invested in JS tech of all time. It introduces a bunch of crummy DX which never pays for itself from a business standpoint. SSR is

There’s definitely some fairness to your callout. To make a long story short, I was once quite invested in the genre of literary fiction, and eventually became disillusioned when I realized I had been sucked into a prestige game. My old bit

Social media posts may be bad for you brain, but my personal opinion of Gravity’s Rainbow is that ~everyone who “enjoys” that painful slog does so because of the “literary” status “enjoying” Gravity’s Rainbow affords them

Your comment has inspired me to change my outlook when participating in “ephemeral” conversations (conversations with people that I likely won’t ever have a chance to see regularly) A couple of people I’m close to have always relished these

Pro choice frames the question differently. To put it in an overly reductionist way: it’s not a human, it’s a fetus. This framing does create a problem of defining when exactly it becomes a human, which I haven’t heard a good answer to.

Cardio will make a massive difference. You will hit a similar sort of wall with strength training conditioning without increasing your cardio capacity Mixing interval training and steady state cardio works wonders

Very astute observation. Although it's a bit painful to admit, as Rust scratches a perfectionist itch which Go absolutely does not. I've read a bit about algorithm-driven performance gains vs. hardware-driven performance gains...

Many us hold that there is such a thing as real meaning that extends beyond our subjective conceptions. (I'd actually argue that not to believe this is a limited form of solipsism) Put a different way: everyone's life has some v

Render is more of the successor IMO. Fly is a bit of a wildcard — they are bleeding edge, certainly, but they seem to shy away from focusing on implementation of some of the “boring” but extremely useful features present in most managed ser

What has helped me immensely is intermittent fasting from the internet. Setting a time to put away my phone and laptop every single day and sticking to it has rewired my brain and allowed me to rediscover old, slower, richer ways of thinkin

Correct. The hierarchy is getting steeper and harder to climb. Men who don’t feel connected to a clear path of ascension become desperate and often either dangerous or losers. It’ll be interesting to see what happens to the increasing numbe

HN is extremely JavaScript-fatigued. Feels like all JavaScript-related novelty has been getting downvoted lately unless it's coming from a small set of "trusted" JS authorities (Next.js maintainers, Kent Dodds, etc.)

I only wish Mobx's API was terser and more opinionated. Hard to derive a good Mobx pattern from their bloated API (>100 exports) I've created a wrapper library which is basically a more-opinionated, higher-level version of Mobx
