I remember not using/trying Svelte because there was no TS support and it took quite some time before TS support emerged. With that in mind it doesn't surprise me they are not doub…

I'm looking long and hard to see if Next.js is still a good fit with this new direction. The VC's want their money and the push to host will Vercel is getting louder with every new…

At least in prior Google Analytics versions, a third party cookie was used, giving the possibility to link you to every site that implements Google Analytics. But Google explicitly…

Because I think most people who use something like ublock don't want to see ads or have their privacy violated by being followed around the web using third party trackers. A site o…

That used to work but current block filters analyse js variables and url parameters and are much harder to circumvent.

I'm using the matomo self hosted version and like it overall. I love you can track all outbound clicks without having to specifically add Dom elements to outbound links to make thi…

>"Server Actions in Next.js have been designed for deep integration with the rest of the data lifecycle, including the Next.js Cache, Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR), and the…

It's not fake, it's a perspective. I'm not sure if "web3" is going to solve it though. The incentives are the same, so why would the outcome be different this time.

This is also my concern. If the happy path is Serverless/Edge (on Vercel) with React Server Components I'm in for a big rewrite. I'm holding off any new investments in the Next.js …

Big Termux fan. From using my phone as a borg backup target (with Wireguard) to ssh access to remote servers, it gives you a full blown Linux environment in your pocket.

Not only expensive, the coverage is spotty too. Driving cross country, even along major highways often results in many dead spots.

Why are companies pushing so hard for apps while the website is often better. Is it to push advertisement? Extract more information? It's a disturbing trend if you ask me.

Good luck with the interview!

Maybe the new generation of developers are afraid of light Sysadmin tasks like setting up nginx, PostgreSQL, Redis, iptables. And Vercel welcomes them with open arms with the promi…

I find it somewhat annoying to see the intense community pressure to go with third party auth providers. I see auth, user and role/permission management as a core pilar of an onlin…

"I don't recommend having components responsible for querying data because their responsibility is already in presenting the data. More accurately, components need only receive dat…

It depends on the capabilities of the low code tool and the problem domain. Just today I created a "flow" in the Android app Automate to add "auto-sleep after 30 minutes" functiona…

Maybe trades will get popular again as this is less easy to swap with an ai alternative.

It's a bit of work but allows for fine grained retry logic. Some jobs should not be retried but escalated, others might need a retry in one hour, others can be retried at a lower p…

I think the 'select for update' query is used by a worker to fetch jobs ready for pickup, then update the status to something like 'processing' and the lock is released. The articl…

"Some of our customers are experiencing elevated error rates" while in reality the entire service is down.

Funny thing: I asked ChatGPT last week to write me a script to fetch the latest HN posts and notify me on Telegram when a post matches a given keyword. Keeps me updated without wad…
