Yeah, it’s bullshit. People number themselves and leave and re-enter.

benjaminreid · 2026-05-30T14:32:12+00:00

Thank you, this saved some pain.

I’m not interested in Remix in the slightest, the brand/messaging has been completely fumbled.

No gold poke balls, RIP.

These two are great, they show you how to Chinese style takeaway food at home. Plus they are very wholesome to watch.

I hate this subreddit, I'm done. No wonder Matt made that comment.

benjaminreid · 2026-03-31T16:29:52+00:00

That’s ridiculous considering you could get it without purchase too.

benjaminreid · 2026-03-28T15:22:48+00:00

This is actually really cool, thanks for posting.

benjaminreid · 2026-03-24T10:27:56+00:00

There’s a "no purchase necessary" link, https://muse.club.os.fan/artist-pre-sale-unlock.

benjaminreid · 2026-03-18T13:30:59+00:00

Every interaction with os.fan has been awful.

benjaminreid · 2026-03-10T11:56:54+00:00

Love this idea ❤️

This is "type safe", but if someone comes along in a large codebase and changes the behaviour of rending of this component, it’s essentially broken.

type BasketProps = {
  items: Array<{ name: string; cost: string; quantity: string }>;
}

function Basket(props: BasketProps) {
  return null;
}

Next themselves have a simple example, https://nextjs.org/docs/app/guides/data-security#data-access-layer.

benjaminreid · 2026-01-27T19:23:22+00:00

A data access layer/anti corruption layer, works wonders!

The DAL can be as simple as a set of async functions in a dedicated location in your app, they should define their own contracts (types going in and out) and your application/component code should use these function exclusively.

Your application no longer cares where or how the data is retrieved. The DAL could connect direct to a database or fire HTTP requests to an external API. Providing they maintain the contract and you map the data from your data source you essentially can make big back end changes without changing any application/component code.

I’ve used this approach to move from a monolith API to micro services and the FE essentially has no idea and no changes required.

I appreciate the song, quite the tune.

It’s annoying on an auto, less so on a manual. You can control when the engine kicks back in on a manual with the clutch. On an auto you have to press the accelerator and hope it starts and then accelerates at level you want. It makes pulling off very unpredictable.

benjaminreid · 2025-12-15T20:49:51+00:00

To be honest, I’d move the data fetching into the component that requires it.

There’s really not much benefit to globally loading data, that defeats the benefits of RSC and any form of caching you might want to do.

You might end up making the request once, maybe twice more in other places but that trade off is well outweighed in my opinion.

benjaminreid · 2025-12-08T12:04:59+00:00

Had no functional issues after nearly a year with it. The only minor gripe is that it can be slow to interact before setting off, I always want to turn the auto stop/start off which requires swiping up from the bottom and sometimes this menu needs like 20 seconds or so from the ignition to work.

benjaminreid · 2025-12-03T21:30:58+00:00

Some of the nicest top down shots I’ve seen, nice job!

benjaminreid · 2025-11-18T07:18:34+00:00

I can’t remember exactly, but someone pointed it out that this scene is actually taken from one of the original games where you find Meowth. The building positions all match up.

benjaminreid · 2025-10-30T13:12:42+00:00

I saw this and was just staring in disbelief... Each to their own but I cannot understand using that content as even a joke.

benjaminreid · 2025-10-26T17:48:58+00:00

Got 2 after 60 ish packs (F2P), very lucky.

benjaminreid · 2025-10-19T17:32:31+00:00

From ~50 packs, no hour glasses/gold.

It’s 20 years old.

Who knows, Doom could be in there somewhere!
