I'm currently working on a vue + vuex server side rendered PWA with client side hydration.i found the perfect UI component library which only adds ~3mb of overhead,which went paired with Chart.js and of course wrapped with VueCharts.js should be able to query a graphql endpoint to process the results and display in the browser. What do you all think of kubernetes, overkill?
I thought it was serious until I got to the 3mb part, that was where the tone became clear. It's funny because I found the first sentence so upsetting. "With client-side hydration" -- I was just thinking to myself god these stupid buzzwords, what does that even mean, just another recycled concept with a new web 3.0 name.
Client-side hydration has been a term of art since component-based web apps have been built with the same code on the server and client. It’s not some new buzzword. It’s an exceedingly common term and has been a major focus in the space for years.
But loljs or whatever plays well so go for it.

Object.entries https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...
Oh, I need to type Object.entries(x) instead of x.entries() Makes sense, otherwise entries would contain itself. Thank you!
Entries only iterates enumerable items (unless you make something evil). None of the native types with entries in their prototype iterate over that method

#444Great to see several people from Mexico! BTW, the fact that only the US country has options separated by state reminds me of when I lived in Europe, and sometimes we got together with a bunch of international. Invariably the "where are you from" question would pop up, to which almost everyone would answer with their country... except Americans, who would answer with their state haha. Once, I asked someone where they…
When I was in Europe as a student, everybody wanted to know what state I was from, so I got used to answering that way. Surprisingly, everybody seemed to know all the U.S. states, and had pretty strong mental associations with a lot of them. I'm from Texas, and to them, that meant horses and cowboys and George Strait and "howdy, y'all!"

#445Yeah so I'm just going to say it: some perspectives expressed here about valid home identities are really disappointing.
All the way from "it's not as big as my country so I'll decide if it gets to be considered a country", through "your local definition doesn't count", to "make your own poll then".
Yeeeeesh.
Conversation here is supposed to be stimulating. Instead, parts of this thread are narrow-minded, petty, and alienating.
Frankly, it's depressing.

US states and EU countries are generally similar in size. If you ask an Italian where they are from it would be a bit odd if they said “Europe” wouldn’t it? I think it also speaks to the degree of autonomy and identity among the states. The US originally thought of itself more like the EU is now, a collection of sovereign nations that agreed to a very strong alliance (first confederation, then federation). The differ…
If you asked someone where they were from and without context they said "Molise", that would be a bit odd, no?
Molise has a population of 300k. The smallest state in the US is Wyoming at almost twice the size (580k).
That also doesn't address the parent's observation that US states view themselves as having very distinct identities.
A better example from Italy might be Naples, which has a population big enough to be a US state and which does have a very distinct identity. And I wouldn't be surprised at all to hear someone introduce themselves as from Naples.

As an American I do this because I always get the follow up question of where in the US. It’s just more efficient this way.
If you asked someone where they're from, would you expect them to say, for example, Almaty instead of Kazakhstan?
Did you miss the part where OP said that most people expect them to specify which state they're from?
Whether you like it or not, it's usually insufficient for someone from the US to simply say that they're from the US. It's a big enough place with enough externally-visible cultural variation that people want to know.
