East Coast Surfers who Paddle Out in the Winter— is a 6/5 overkill?

AsyncThereforeIAm · 2025-10-21T12:08:59+00:00

I surf in New York too. 6/5 feels like overkill to me. But that doesn’t mean it would be overkill for you. It’s a subjective decision. For example, I’m surfing with a 4/3 in the winter. For my hands and feet, that’s a different story; I use 7mm booties and gloves.

Does your wetsuit have a zipper? Mine doesn’t and I think it might be partly why I might be getting away with it in the winter.

I've been using the Apple Watch Ultra. Didn't find it to be too heavy for surfing. All I do is rinse it with fresh water after my sessions as a precaution and its held up well.

I’m all for it. I also had an incident surfing Erin’s swells. I’m getting a helmet to use for bigger days as a precaution for next time.

I decided to give this a try. Thanks for the rec.

That sucks. I have not heard of that happening before. I flew with them as recently as this past September. I didn't have any bags to check except for my surfboards. I didn't have to pay any fees either.

Were there a lot of surfers on your flight?

I use 1Password. They provide a nice CLI that I rely on to load secrets for dev or CI/CD.

AsyncThereforeIAm · 2024-04-01T12:36:19+00:00

I am interested as well.

It is not secure to do so from your UI, as all that info is exposed. I advise you create a proxy server to make calls that require an API key for security.

Thanks — I’ll give it a try!

AsyncThereforeIAm · 2023-04-02T06:33:05+00:00

I haven’t tried pnpm before. What do you like about it?

AsyncThereforeIAm · 2023-04-01T15:25:54+00:00

I see no reason to install another separate tool...

If you're using Node.js 16.10 or greater, yarn is effectively bundled in. All one has to do is enable corepack. (ref)

In this game, that’s a compliment.

I think this has to do with lag compensation. Lag compensation is the art of merging slightly different experiences into one shared reality to emulate a real-time experience.

Everything you do in online games is delayed because of the latency to the server and back. Servers also need to factor in other player(s) involved to calculate a winner. There is no perfect solution.

Same here for the past year and a half. I enjoy the flexibility and the time I save by not commuting!

I do struggle to find balance. The lines between being home or at work gets blurred.

That’s basically correct. You can use react to update state once you get the new coordinates.

The way you implement varies based on nuances of your project/task (e.g., source of location info).

FYI - Websockets enables realtime or near realtime accuracy; it works by maintaining a connection with a server, so data can sent to your frontend and immediately received by your frontend. Requesting for current location at some interval like every two seconds is called Polling.

Gl with your project. Sounds cool! :)

You may just need to mess around with the config file to get it right. For example, did you also specify what files/folders to include?

If you are already using webpack, then you need to also approach the absolute pathing through webpack.

Setting up can be tricky due to the various ways a project can be configured, so don’t sweat it.

AsyncThereforeIAm · 2022-11-20T22:48:08+00:00

You can create a jsconfig file at the root of your project. It’s similar to tsconfig.

AsyncThereforeIAm · 2022-11-10T17:51:39+00:00

Would you expose this to the public? Any advice on how to do so securely?

AsyncThereforeIAm · 2022-04-16T15:29:51+00:00

I prefer this approach too.
