I use it for my personal projects and really like it because of how quick and responsive it is plus the overall design aesthetic is pleasing to me. At the end of the day though it's an issue tracker and there are quite a few out there. Of the ones I've tried Linear is the best so I hope that they keep improving their product without bloating it too much. That's what I'm worried about most.
I don't quite understand the "Every 100ms faster → 1% more conversions" tag line (in the context of how Qwik improves over competitors)
AFAIK Qwik would have a similar initial load time to other server-side rendered frameworks where all you send across the wire first is the HTML and CSS to render that particular page. That's the initial page load.
From there it loads the JS which then hydrates data and turns it into a functioning React app. So what Qwik claims to improve over other solutions is the time-to-interactive metric, rather than the initial page load. Is this a correct assessment?
If so, then the "100ms -> 1% more conversions" buy line does not seem to really follow on from the actual improvements of Qwik over other methods. Anyone understand this more than me?
How do you deal with more complex/dynamic forms? As someone who learnt frontend mostly in React I've always struggled wrapping my head around how you would do that with server-side rendering.
For example:
1) selecting a checkbox alters other fields in the form
2) validation that needs to hit the backend and then present warnings/errors to user
3) field arrays -> sending back a list of fields
The wood part is called the 'blade' in English and there are MANY different brands and models. They come in either 5 ply or 7 ply, where it might be full (5 or 7) wood or 5 wood plies + 2 thin carbon wafers. I use a carbon blade (Viscaria) - they are more stiff with less vibration, or feedback, but generally have a higher speed ceiling and larger sweet spot at the expense of a little bit of control at lower speeds (gears).
The other component of a setup is the rubbers, you can have one black rubber and one red rubber (although new colours are soon being made an official part of the sport) - generally they're split into two categories "tensors" and "tacky" or "chinese" rubbers and recently "hybrid" rubbers. Rubbers are comprised of a sponge and a top-sheet - which manufacturers can customise to produce different playing characteristics. Long story short: tensor rubbers historically were favoured by Europeans (on both sides, whereas Chinese would use a hard tacky rubber on forehand + softer tensor backhand) and are more elastic with built in catapult effect. They require less physical effort to produce good spin and speed. Tacky Chinese rubbers are very hard with a very tacky surface, the harder sponge makes them easier to control at low gears (close to the net for short game) and have great top-end spin as well as spin on serves. They require more physical exertion and efficient use of the body to use effectively (although there are also substances called "booster" which we apply to make hard tacky rubbers come alive). Hybrids are a sort of mixture of the two that have become popular with the new 40mm plastic ball and can be used on either side. Typically you will use a harder rubber on the forehand than on the backhand, but it's up to personal preference.
Even if it's true I always see this excuse to not try to reduce your consumption as a pure cop-out. If everyone had this attitude then nothing would ever change.
The school I went to did trial days. Maybe look into sending your kids for a few days trial. If I recall correctly we'd occasionally have parents of prospective parents come and quietly observe our 3hr work cycles or morning circle.
Similar story here. I did Montessori for kinder + primary school in NZ (christchurch) before moving to Aus for high school. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I think it gave me a tangible leg up over a lot of my peers. Perhaps not a huge one, and everyone is different, but I think the 3hr work cycle concept + freedom to learn at my own pace - translating into not hating or getting frustrated at school/learning + the physical equipment you use to learn mathematics concepts were the most beneficial.
Ironic that some of the highest paying jobs out there are also the jobs that are most easily performed at home. Software dev really seems to be one of those win/win/win scenarios when it comes to jobs. Of course, there will always be a litany of complaints online because there's always something to complain about, but still.
Honestly that was the selling point of ReasonML to me. Share business domain types and share common code but also get a native compiled backend. The pattern matching, variants, and syntax of Rescript are quite nice but unfortunately I don't find it enough of a selling point for frontend code that (in my experience) does not benefit as much from those previous points as say writing compilers or parsers because the majority of what youre writing is interacting with 3rd party libs and components, building forms etc in React, for which the code ends up looking pretty similar in rescript-react.
Yet it seems like another issue tracker is being developed and advertised every year. Is there something missing in these tools that spurs people to keep making more?
Yeah, it makes it so you have to play extremely conservatively or just keep save files to roll back to. At least, that's my memory of playing the campaigns as a kid
I've found that when I watch a Youtube video, at least half or more of the recommended videos on the right are videos that I've already seen before, often music. Does anyone know if there is way to turn this off so it can recommend me strictly new videos? It's infuriating.
The best guess for why this is that I've seen online is that it's because they're targeting younger age brackets more aggressively and kids love to rewatch the same things over and over.
Another marketing pet peeve that I have is term "blazing" fast. I think it's so overused now on any new tool's landing page posted online that I instantly just assume that it is, in fact, of relatively average speed. Are there no other synonyms for fast these days?
If someones cashflow is pushed to the edge with BNPL purchases it's so easy to get toppled over by an unexpected emergency. It really is quite scary thinking about it. Is it financial irresponsibility causing people to overextend themselves and their cashflow on frivolous purchases, or is it out of necessity and a wider issue such as poor economy / job market / wealth distribution causing people to turn to these services? - Either way, they feel rather predatory to me...
Myself and most people I know (early twenties) use what the banks give by default which is a "Debit Mastercard/Visa" which lets you shop online like a credit card, perform chargebacks, or pay in-store, but the money just comes out of your savings account like a debit card - not on credit (they get declined if your account is empty too AFAIK but haven't tested it ;P). Are these common overseas? I rarely see reference to it on here or Reddit which is presumably predominantly people from the US or Europe.
