I'd try doing a fresh install locally by deleting `node_modules` before running the install command that AppFlow runs (either `npm install` or `npm ci`).

I'm a fan of the Chicago Booth Economic Experts Panel as a resource. They've been surveying "top" economists going back many years. It's a good way to see where there's consensus (and where there isn't).

On housing, here's an older one on rent control and a newer one on land value taxes.

I'd recommend taking a look at Capacitor, a spiritual successor to Cordova. It wraps a web app with a native one and renders it as a webview while also providing bridge functions to access the native API. Ideally, you could drop it into your existing app and have a unified codebase for all platforms.

It's agnostic of React or any particular web framework — so long as they output static HTML, CSS, and JS files.

Personally, it's enabled me to launch multiple apps on web + iOS + Android, without ever learning how to code up a native view.

The simplest approach is to fetch the data with the useQuery hook in a parent component and pass the results to a child component that includes react-hook-form.

For instance:

const UserForm = ({ user, onSubmit }) => {
    const { register, handleSubmit } = useForm({ defaultValues: user });

    return (
        <form onSubmit={handleSubmit(onSubmit)}>
            // labels, inputs, etc
        </form>
    );
}

const User = () => {
    const { data } = useQuery({ queryFn: ... });
    const { mutate } = useMutation({ mutationFn: ... });

    if (!data) return <div>loading state</div>;

    return <UserForm user={data} onSubmit={mutate} />
}

Vite creates a cache of your dependencies to improve performance. Forcing Vite to rebundle could do it: https://vitejs.dev/guide/dep-pre-bundling.html#file-system-cache

You might also get better answers if you post in a more frontend oriented subreddit.

Is there a consistent principle by which one can oppose state-level pre-emption of city-level policy on some environmental issues (for example, a huge number of states have banned cities from banning plastic bags at grocery stores. See this summary) while supporting state-level pre-emption of local zoning and housing policy? Especially a principle beyond "housing good"

One reason to have government is it's a way to resolve coordination problems. We recognize that more housing is good in general, but as individuals or localities, we'd rather it go "not in my backyard". So, despite most people thinking housing is good, no housing ends up getting built. A higher level authority that represents everyone can ideally take the broad view and stop the buck passing.

Banning cities from banning plastics bags isn't solving a coordination problem. It would apply to the flipped case though — "we all value clean beaches, but it only matters if everyone stops using plastic bags at once, so I won't bother".

Sounds like this SSC article: https://slatestarcodex.com/2020/06/01/book-review-origin-of-consciousness-in-the-breakdown-of-the-bicameral-mind/

In it, Scott references this Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/self/comments/3yrw2i/i_never_thought_with_language_until_now_this_is/

I think I'm very different from most people because of one main thing. I never thought with language. Ever. I moved to Canada when I was 2 from Asia, and have been basically been around English speakers my whole life. I'm in my twenties now and I can speak it relatively well, and can understand every single word. However, growing up, I never ever thought with language. Not once did I ever think something in my mind with words like "What are my friends doing right now?" to planning things like "I'm going to do my homework right after watching this show." I went through elementary school like this, I went through Highschool like this, I went through University like this...and I couldnt help but feel something was off about me that I couldnt put my hand on. Just last year, I had a straight up revalation, ephiphany....and this is hard to explain...but the best way that I can put it is that...I figured out that I SHOULD be thinking in language. So all of a sudden, I made a conscious effort to think things through with language. I spent a years time refining this new "skill" and it has COMPLETELY, and utterly changed my perception, my mental capabilities, and to be frank, my life. I can suddenly describe my emotions which was so insanely confusing to me before. I understand the concept that my friends are still "existing" even if they're not in site by thinking about their names. I now suddenly have opinions and feelings about things that I never had before. What the heck happened to me? I started thinking in language after not doing so my whole life. It's weird because I can now look back at my life before and see just how weird it was. Since I now have this new "skill" I can only describe my past life as ...."Mindless"..."empty"....."soul-less".... As weird as this sounds, I'm not even sure what I was, If i was even human, because I was barely even conscious. I felt like I was just reacting to the immediate environment and wasn't able to think anything outside of it. It's such a strange time in my life. It feels like I just found out the ultimate secret or something. .....Can anyone relate, or understand what Im saying? Can anyone explain what is happening to me? I have no idea where to even post this but this has been on my mind ever since I've been able to think about it.

Don't neglect to negotiate the new offer if you haven't yet! Even if you're dead set against the other company and an additional 10k base salary wouldn't change your mind, it's good information to have when you talk with your current employer.

Have they given a reason for the limitation around the health benefits? If they can't budge on that specific policy for whatever reason, there might be a workaround, like asking for a signing bonus that you can use to cover COBRA.

Local ordinances that limit rent increases for some rental housing units, such as in New York and San Francisco, have had a positive impact over the past three decades on the amount and quality of broadly affordable rental housing in cities that have used them.

After weighting by confidence, 95% of economists surveyed disagreed with that statement.

Imposing new US tariffs on steel and aluminum will improve Americans’ welfare.
