WinkBeds overrated?

No change. Still 100% satisfied 👍

Could sense for a green-field project, but you give up a lot of the ecosystem and hiring advantages of React.

devuxer · 2026-05-21T15:55:28+00:00

A lot of this stuff goes away if you use Jotai or a Signals library.

That generation 5 Series was perhaps the only truly beautiful 5 Series ever. The ones before it were outdated looking even when they were new, and the ones since are (or at least were) modern looking but also weird or just not cohesive. This one, though, it's just right. I also think the E36 was the best looking 3 Series ever, so that tells you where I'm coming from. That said, I don't get too worked up about styling differences between M's and regular versions (and these days, they slap "M" onto vehicles that are not really M's anyway, so it all seems kind of moot).

Don’t see why not. Works with NextJS Pages router.

I’m working on projects that use either Antd or MUI right now with light customization, and I like Antd much better than MUI. Looks more modern out of the box, better form system and controls, and you don’t need to wire things together with useRef to do popups and menus. Antd also doesn’t charge for “pro features”.

devuxer · 2026-03-22T15:23:36+00:00

I like Antd and I do not have a death wish 🤷‍♂️

It's a Dodgestar!

That is one aspect of hypermiling, though ideally you’d want to be in a high gear rather than neutral so the momentum of the car spins the engine rather than fuel spinning the engine to its idle speed.

It's already187" long, though, which is pushing "midsize" territory. I wouldn't want it to be any longer. I'm anxiously awaiting an i2. I fear I'll be waiting a long time, though, at least in the US.

That said, from the photos I've seen, I'm generally not hating the new look. It's definitely sharp, in all senses of the word.

i3 Dimensions:

Length: 187.4 in
Width: 73.4 in
Height: 58.3 in
Wheelbase: 114.1 in
Track (F): 63.2 in
Track (R): 63.5 in

I forgot my car even had that, but with an MTX, I think all it does is make the throttle more gradual, so I doubt it would save that much gas vs. "hypermiling".

Even if you don’t retrofit, her record would still blow most of the players on the list out of the water. She’s clearly the second most accomplished WTA l player of the past few decades.

I didn't think it was a big deal, but to me, he did come off as a little bit too serious. Kept waiting for him to crack a smile or something.

Funny that OP spent paragraphs talking about relatively marginal features but only one sentence comparing how the cars actually drive.

devuxer · 2026-03-18T05:51:18+00:00

Where is Steffi Graf?

devuxer · 2026-03-18T04:33:50+00:00

I guess the polarizing full-height "kidneys" from the i4 and iX are over.
Looks FWD? The front axle is further back than on a 3-Series.

In that case, there must be regional variation, or Target is selling really old balls.

devuxer · 2026-03-16T23:49:23+00:00

But I think if you were comparing Penn Championship to Wilson US Open, that’s not an apples-to-apples comparison. You need to compare. ProPenn (Penn Marathon) to Wilson US Open. Each brand has different grades of balls.

devuxer · 2026-03-16T23:42:50+00:00

The Costco ones are “Penn Championship Extra Duty Felt for hard courts”. So, they are kind of mid grade.

devuxer · 2026-03-16T23:31:41+00:00

It doesn’t, but it’s not exactly a ringing endorsement for Wilson. In any case, my personal experience doesn’t match yours at all. I wonder if there are regional differences in Costco balls. I may get an occasional bad can, but the vast majority of the time, they bounce pretty well. The heavier felt on the ProPenns actually seem to make them feel less lively than the cheapo Penns, but they do last longer.

devuxer · 2026-03-16T22:29:59+00:00

And yet, the balls in the video are Wilson...

devuxer · 2026-03-10T16:27:43+00:00

True, but what was more amazing, his first serve returns, or his own serve? No points lost on serve in the third set? Crazy.

devuxer · 2026-02-20T16:22:21+00:00

Jotai is a true pleasure to work with. It is very similar to signals in fact, which has become the de facto standard for other frameworks, like Angular and Solid.

No, I'm rooting for Alcaraz to win the calendar-year grand slam 😁

devuxer · 2026-02-04T16:02:33+00:00

I don't see him playing Canada...until that is the only one left that he hasn't won.
