> On a personal level I feel the fastest way to feel unhappy is to worry too much about whether I am happy
These are wise words that I needed to hear after a hard day and feeling like I've always been getting the short end of the stick lately. Thank you for writing them.
Somewhat orthogonal to your point, but it is interesting to me how easily some will dismiss perspectives or ideas by referring to them pejoratively as "western".
Hmm, I found it uplifting. I'm not in the startup space, but I feel like I have been struggling with prioritization, without really understanding what I was struggling with. In my case, the constant tugging from one operational crisis to another has made it difficult to focus on long-term goals, and I need to learn to let others fight their own fires from time to time so I can prioritize tasks I know will have an out-sized effect later. Guess it's just a matter of perspective!
It's not about being unique, or what you can/can't do. You certainly can mock a front end with a ssr app, but it gets messy when you are building a rich client app and need to start sharing state back and forth.
I always thought of the benefits of SPAs more as a separation-of-concerns thing. You can pretty effectively build a functional front-end web application and mock a set of back-end REST apis, while another team builds out a the back-end. There are absolutely tradeoffs, and being a good software engineer is about understanding where and when those tradeoffs apply.
Yeah whenever these SPA-slamming posts come up, I just try to imagine carpenters posting about why they switched to hammers from screwdrivers. They're just different tools that excel at solving different problems.
I don't have anything to contribute or collaborate on, but just wanted to thank OP for the excellent idea, this looks like it really hit upon a community need.
I don't really agree with the tone of your comment, and why would you cite a section of the article where the author was talking about a front-end testing framework?
My guess as to why this isn't a built-in feature: encoding video with high fidelity is taxing on hardware (a good amount of CPU/GPU/disk space required), and it's a fairly niche use-case for any popular remote conferencing app to include and potentially fill users' disks with video by accident. Plus, the roundabout way you mentioned is probably how a lot of creators do it :)
This is extremely impressive research. I think if COVID has taught us anything though, even an array of available, safe, preventative medicine is not convincing for some people.
This is neat! The simulation didn't remain "stable" for me for very long though; biot count pushed over 3000 and I dropped to just a few fps. I'm on a phone and I'm also a bit color blind so I'm probably not the ideal use case.
I suppose I don't quite match the reasoning you're describing, but here's mine. I indent; I just don't want semantic meaning ascribed to whether or not I'm missing an indent. I'll handle the {}s, my editor handles the indent level, and everyone gets along fine.
Is this some legacy infra that Acoustic has "inherited" from silverpop, perhaps? An old-but-valid DKIM key, a private dns entry for a mail2550.paypal-notification.com server, etc?
Thinking of software, probably early "beta" Gmail. There was so much about the email experience that was improved by a stable web client, with what felt at the time like unlimited storage.
Thinking of hardware, I've never been much for Apple products, but the iPhone (particularly early models) is undoubtedly a design marvel.
I'm a bit shocked that MAIL-FROM auth was ever accepted, let alone until 2012. Even the other auth methods via email seem somewhat dangerous, though I sincerely hope these registries follow extremely strict policies for key management.
Gotta say, while I'm not surprised, and it's probably st least partially response bias, it looks like HN has really got its turkey roasting game figured out.
