  • Very recently I was driving on the Autobahn. It was a relatively crowded Sunday. Then cars in front of me slowed down a little, I saw two cars on the side of the road, then a lonely car wheel rolled right in front of me, nearly missed my bumper, I only had to break slightly. I was startled but fine. Saw one or two more cars on the side, they all seemed fine. I wondered where the, now three-wheeled, car was. About a kilometer further there it was on the side, already sitting on a car jack, so some time must have passed already and no one seemed injured. This wheel must have rolled around on the road for a while, hitting a few cars on it's way. I was reminded of the movie "Rubber".

  • A timer works independent of whatever the current time is because it only needs to count down the passage of time. Also everyone already has multiple clocks on walls, wrists and phones.

  • I wouldn’t call myself a lazy shit just because I don’t care to update the clock on my fucking microwave, oven and kitchen scale. Why do all these devices have clocks anyways it does not make sense.

  • There is no latency on static pages. They are rendered once as regular HTML and then saved on the server to be immediately ready for the user. The server is only processing that initial data fetching and rendering once per site. If needed, it can be retriggered. This is great for blogs and other regular pages.

    Server pages on the other hand will do the initial fetch request every time but once the site is there, no data is missing and everything is there. It’s not for everyone. Regular dynamic pages still make sense. For every method there are use cases.

    Disclaimer: I’m speaking from my experience with Next.js which did the same thing long before and React now aims to make that easier. But I’m not sure if React has the distinction between static and server. It’s all new and I haven’t had a project to test it on yet.

  • It’s called Server Components. If you actually build a fully static website, there is no DOM modification going on. I would actually not recommend doing that with React because it kinda defeats the purpose. The goal of it is to have a mix of both. The initial render is super fast because it is prerendered once for everyone. Then dynamic data is being fetched if needed and elements are replaced. It also improves SEO.

    React 19 is not yet officially released but you can read more about it here https://react.dev/blog/2024/04/25/react-19

  • I’m annoyed by paywalls but I understand and accept them. I never view my payment as a donation, it’s just a way to get access to content. What troubles me is when important information is hidden to the public that might guide you in your understanding of the world and therefore (political) decision making.

  • I’m a React dev. You can create server side websites, written in JS, that don’t require JS to be turned on in the browser. Granted, this just became a new official feature in React but has already been available with React frameworks like NextJS

  • I have great experience with third party recruiters. I only ever had to send them a CV (as PDF!) and they took care of the rest. I just had to go to the interview. The company hired and payed for the recruiter so for me it’s a win.

    Granted, in my last two job searches I never looked for open positions myself, I answered messages from recruiters in my inbox. So it’s more that they were applying to me. Most messages can be ignored because the recruiters have no idea what they are talking about.

  • It’s often a local phenomenon due to breeders in the area and a small viral effect. People see others with a dog breed they like and want the same. In my area it’s huskies, in my previous home town it is German shepherd’s because there is a trainer specific for that breed. Aussies are a hit everywhere though.

    I only ever had dogs from shelters and many people ask what breed that is and then are a bit sad to learn they cannot have the same one because they are just random.
