_nkl1··on Daylight Computer tablet review
I actually think the opposite is true. The review(s) you linked and a recent one by Mr. Mobile just showed me that these folks don’t really get the product. Likely because they’re not in the target demographic for this. Mr. Mobile admitted that much.

I think Patrick is the opposite. He’s a prolific reader. An endorsement from him makes me more convinced I’ll like this product.

_nkl1··on Next.js App Router Update
Hey Lee! Thanks so much for responding.

What's not clear to me is where do the providers go (ReduxProvider, ReactQueryProvider etc)?

Can they be instantiated up tree in a server component somewhere? And if that's the case, what data do they hold when on the server and what happens a client component tries to interact with the provider?

Or should I render as much as possible via RSC and put the providers in the first client component in the tree?

I've been trying to keep tabs on the GitHub issues and Discord that discuss this, but I have to admit, it's a bit over my head. The best resource I've found so far to understand how libraries are adapting is from Apollo's RFC here: https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-client-nextjs/blob/p...

_nkl1··on Next.js App Router Update
I’ve recently started working with NextJs and absolutely loving it so far.

However, with adopting the App Router there is a big looming question - what happens with frontend state/query management libraries like react-query/trpc?

So far, I’ve seen unergonomic solutions that require the developer to manually hydrate the frontend. Hopefully, over the next few months we discover a solution that “just works”, so we can widely adopt RSC.

uhm, you mean something like "this virus is 120% zoonotic and any suggestion otherwise is racist"

_nkl1··on Covid: US backs waiver on vaccine intellectual property
you realize under Trump, it was a blanket ban on all entry? that definitely wasn't the case under Obama.
_nkl1··on Covid: US backs waiver on vaccine intellectual property
| If you look at the amount of vaccines produced, the US and EU are fairly close to each other.

EU has 2x the number of people.

i suggest you get acquainted with the 1930s history.
_nkl1··on US raises ‘deep concerns’ over WHO report on Covid’s Wuhan origins
"Deep concerns" over Navalny's poisoning. "Deep concerns" over Navalny's imprisonment. "Deep concerns" over the coup in Myanmar. And now "deep concerns" over China refusing to provide data to the WHO.

No one ever admits guilt. No one ever goes to prison. These fines are just "cost of doing business".

_nkl1··on Ask HN: How are you preparing for COVID-19 disruptions?
This is so infuriatingly false. The mortality rate for the flu this season has been ~0.1%.

The coronavirus is over 10x deadlier than the usual flu according to early estimates.

_nkl1··on Tokyo Olympics “looking at a cancellation” if coronavirus not contained
> I think when this all comes to an end, China will be one of the countries that dealt with the virus the best. Countries without authoritarian governments likely don't have the means to effectively quarantine major cities and shut down massive portions of their economy immediately without major problems arising. Given a couple weeks, sure, but by then it will be too late.

It may well seem that way in retrospect. When it does, just remember that those same authoritarian governments are the ones who played down the threat, lied, covered up to save face, imprisoned whistleblowers, and refused to let international experts in.

_nkl1··on San Francisco declares state of emergency to prepare for coronavirus
It's only a matter of time before this becomes a massive problem for the city. I applaud UCSF for not letting the two patients from Santa Clara start a local outbreak.
_nkl1··on My Favorite Books of 2016
It's pretty good, but sometimes boring. Do you have a few "must-listen" episodes to recommend?
_nkl1··on My Favorite Books of 2016
Shoe Dog is absolutely incredible. When you hear the back stories about the name Nike, the swoosh, Phil's original business plan... Fascinating.

I do recommend that people are generally careful with blindly taking everything as a straight truth, especially when an author seems "trustworthy". It is a known tactic to sneak in lies or exaggerations among the truths.

_nkl1··on Sleepwalking into censorship
I'm surprised that hide.io isn't on the list. I've been using it and it's extremely fast, has dozens of servers across the world, and is a Hong Kong based company, thus not subject to US laws (but, I suppose can possibly be queried from Beijing).
_nkl1··on All three major Russian carriers dump iPhone
I completely disagree. Passport information is collected upon purchasing a SIM-card diminishing all hopes of privacy. Furthermore, there is roaming between states/provinces in Russia, so a SIM bought in one state is extremely expensive to use in another. I know for a fact that this isn't the case in the US and Canada. But, yes, generally prices are lower in Russia.
