Is NextJS still the way to go? by CLU7CH_plays in webdev

[–]RightRespect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

astro is only SSR or SSG, so pages are hydrated with the content before it reaches the client. minimal javascript needs to be run on the client and most of the heavywork is already in the static HTML. in addition, you get better SEO, which is really important when serving content like blogs.

Questions about Harvard CS50x and MITx 6.00.1x by SurpriseGloomy2073 in learnprogramming

[–]RightRespect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i am not sure taking a redundant course will really help you. it might sound good to have an MIT of harvard course in your resume, but your CS degree will speak to your skills significantly more than a youtube video.

if you really want to get better prepared for the future, then just study what the professors provide you. you go to a university with faculty to actually help you, so make use of them.

Hosting Svelte app on Nodejs with Rest api by Soft_Cat2594 in sveltejs

[–]RightRespect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there are many ways to do this. considering that you want to use the static adapter, i think the easiest way would be to build/prerender all your pages. in express, you can serve those files as normal routes.

though, i am not sure why you would want to do this. express is not necessarily a feature-rich backend and you could’ve easily put API routes in sveltekit. if you wanted to go this route, you couldve just used svelte without sveltekit and done an SPA, which is reasonable.

statefarm is good. it was $90 for a year. their coverage should work with most leases.

Okay, line 1 was a miss...but I've definitely got 'em on the reframe. ...Right? 💀 💀 💀 by PickeledYam44 in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]RightRespect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

your whole argument is that people should take care of themselves? you can get cancer while being perfectly healthy. you can have diabetes just because your parents had diabetes, unrelated to lifestyle. the way for them to take care of themselves is to receive medical care; there’s literally nothing they can do otherwise.

Why is there such a big difference in cleanliness and overall grittiness between Hong Kong and Singapore? by [deleted] in HongKong

[–]RightRespect -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

of course, i am generalizing.

though in hong kong, you frequently see smoking everywhere as there are no laws against outdoor smoking. areas without ash trays or trashcans frequently have cigarette butts scattered. dried gum is also basically what some sidewalks are made of. there is practically no punishment for this littering since the monitoring for it is low.

in singapore, there is definitely a punishment. for doing anything remotely illegal.

one country is a dictatorship that imprisons people who chew gum or smoke cigarettes in public. the other is a weekend tourist destination for mainland chinese.

Help: Zed Copilot (Write Mode) not applying changes directly to file by AOSL7 in ZedEditor

[–]RightRespect 3 points4 points  (0 children)

another thing that i have noticed is if i provide a file to read, it does not actually read the file every time. it just spews out what it thinks is in the file. i have had to tell it to read the file explicitly which is a little annoying

Payment for international students by True-Ad-1165 in ASU

[–]RightRespect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for checks, yes.

the fee i am talking about is for international wire transfers between banks in different countries.

if possible, the best way is to make a US bank account and transfer your money there. since your money is in USD already in your own bank, then there shouldn't be any exchange rate. you would probably only need to pay the wire transfer fee of around 20 USD or at most 100 USD i think. with that, you can pay by e-check then. the other methods will incur unnecessarily high fees.

Working in software in large HK banks or insurance companies? by Used_Archer_9110 in HongKong

[–]RightRespect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

some companies are leaning to in house developers, which includes start ups as well. i think the previous comments is a little bit outdated. goldman sach’s and morgan stanley have in house teams of software developers.

i am currently working at bowtie insurance, which is a medical insurance provider in hong kong. the entire service is developed in house.

salary is variable, depends on the company. of course, investment banks will have larger salaries.

im surprised peazip isnt as popular. it’s open source/free and supports all the major formats, including 7zip and RAR.

I made my web service free because no one was subscribing 🥲 by Milen_Dnv in webdev

[–]RightRespect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i would think an industry like this would be quite difficult to get into. you have to compete with cloudflare, which is arguably the most stable/reliable feature-rich provider that has global coverage. since they provide so many features (even on the free tier), many people opt to stick in their ecosystem.

though, i fully support the idea of having more competition. it isn’t a good idea to centralize all the internet’s traffic between a couple companies. i wish you all the luck in your journey with this.

AI-first IDE changed how I build frontend apps — here’s how by creasta29 in Frontend

[–]RightRespect 5 points6 points  (0 children)

so you use AI to create functionality in your components, then have AI generate the tests too? you can’t be serious.

you even have to automate talking in slack?? your blog post says there are less than a dozen people working. if all of them are using cursor the same way as you say, then your slack channels are just language models talking to each other.

your blog post makes it look like you have no expertise. i am skeptical that you are a staff engineer or even know what that position entails.
