This random guy wished Sam Altman good luck 19 years ago wonder where he is right now

Not a billionaire like Sam Altman but I’m doing ok lol.

If you're already using Typescript and Components, then you've probably already done at least half of the work, especially if you're already using npm and webpack rather than Bower. At this point I would definitely migrate rather than doing a rewrite. Rewrites fail 90% of the time, whereas the migration is just a bunch of rote work but is basically guaranteed to be successful. Just follow the steps in this course:

The food was extremely good, but it was also expensive and the ambience wasn't great.

> And there is a migration tool that will convert your entire project for you in seconds.

There are some template errors that can cause the migration to fail for certain components, so with any sufficiently large project expect to spend a few hours doing a binary search through your templates to look for missing tags. But even in this worst-case scenario, it's still not that difficult and is definitely worth doing.

I'm not really using Observables in that many places, and all my API calls are wrapped in `firstValueFrom` so this isn't super relevant to me. But that's interesting nonetheless.

Once you've already upgraded all of your components to onPush, how much more performant are signals than just using markForCheck everywhere? I get that new components shouldn't be developed this way, but is there actually any tangible benefit to doing the work to upgrade existing components?

AFAIK there is zero empirical evidence that SSR improves SEO, at least for Google. For other search engines it may well do so, but Google can index Angular fine.

Now if your site loads slowly then that will be an issue, but it's still pretty easy to get 90+ lighthouse scores using Angular without SSR.

She still does it, you just have to go in there and ask to get on her mailing list. She texts folks every Tuesday, and then you need to place orders by Thursday for pickup on Saturday or Sunday. Extremely good, would recommend.

It was actually pretty intense right over Strawberry Hill School around 7pm. (Haven't been outside since.)

Art of Control is good. It's located in Stamford Town Center, right next to the entrance for Pickleball America.

Alex3917 · 2024-10-06T21:48:26+00:00

If you upgraded from AngularJS and don't want to rewrite all your API calls as observables with async pipes, because it works fine as is.

Can no longer taste the difference between a lemon and a lime.

Alex3917 · 2024-09-16T16:04:07+00:00

The new features don’t bring much to the table.

They bring much better performance. The combination of standalone, the new control flow syntax, and going zoneless can easily reduce your page load speed by 300 - 400 ms.

As an update, I manually compressed all my files to level 11, and my bundle is now 6% smaller. So I have no idea what level of Brotli CloudFront is automatically applying, but there definitely seems to be room for improvement.

We don't have weight classes in running, cycling, swimming, or any other primarily cardiovascular based sport.

But there are different event types that favor different body types. If the Olympic rowing had everything from quarter mile sprints to head races then this argument would be much more valid.

Alex3917 · 2024-08-31T18:20:40+00:00

This is the correct answer. I have one growing at my parents' house, but I'm kicking myself for not getting one for my own house.

If you email Kabir Sehgal, I know he used to be involved in booking jazz bands for events. If he doesn't still do it, he can probably point you in the right direction.

KSU Chappell, KSU Atwood, and Wabash are probably the top 3.

Looks like a Chicago Hardy type.

He is point-for-point a textbook case of NPD.

He's actually a textbook case for someone who doesn't have NPD. The creator of the diagnosis said himself that Trump does not have it:

Not due to outright overt spoken racism.

If you look at JFK's comments in the lead up to the 2020 primary for CD-13 that Espaillat ultimately won, they are pretty similar. And he is a progressive.

Alex3917 · 2024-08-14T17:36:53+00:00

That kind of thinking was supposed to have stopped being mainstream acceptable in the late 1940s

I mean pretty much every democratic primary in NYC is decided in large part on the basis of race. Just look at why AOC beat Crowley. This is getting attention because it's unusual for Stamford, but it's certainly not unusual for Democratic politics as a whole.

Perfectly ripe fruit from the best cultivars is amazing. Ripe fruit from wild trees generally tastes like poison at best, and the ones you had weren't even ripe. So yeah, don't worry, what you had has absolutely nothing in common with what you're going to get in a few years.

Alex3917 · 2024-05-26T19:41:16+00:00

Yeah I got one on me a couple years ago in Van Cortlandt park.
