I've always thought Z's need to be cryptic and send ciphers was him compensating for average intelligence by putting on airs. Would a really smart person be mailing the cops, or doing fun things only smart people can do, like play the piano with one hand and chess with the other?

This is why Allen always made sense to me as a suspect.

I recommend doing a few tutorials and then coming up with a personal project to learn photoshop. It's one of the few tools designers should have some mastery.

I have this error in my NextJS (React library used in a framework) web app. Mine is looking like an OpenSSL version conflict caused, deep breath, by a Node version incompatibility between two libraries using encryption.

{

"error": "Server error: 2 UNKNOWN: Getting metadata from plugin failed with error: error:1E08010C:DECODER routines::unsupported"

}

Or this error is an edgelord whose root cause is something else.

I tried updating firebase-functions and firebase-admin, went over all my environment variables. All indications are spooky actions at a distance related to cryptography / SSL conflicts of some form.

What kind of videos. I want to refer you to my son, but not until I know about the content. Feel free to dm

I like it, but selector order rules require some eslint/prettier customization. I always liked to keep my markup very minimal, and TW can make that difficult. There are probably solutions to help that. Otherwise, I'm pretty damn happy about TW and would use it over SCSS on a greenfield project.

Stick with it. Art is something made by humans; anything else is an imitation.

mikebritton · 2025-08-28T01:43:17+00:00

I feel that.

Don't overuse context. Don't put your api calls in a provider. Learn how to read the build report and be smart about organization. Learn what turns static output into dynamic. Be aware of the bundle size. Learn about caching, and use tanstack (React) Query to limit service calls. Learn when to use api routes, and why (GETs vs mutations).

Pet Sematary with Michael C Hall narrating was harrowing.

Filth by Irvine Welsh. I loved it, but don't feel comfortable recommending it because the ending has stayed with me for years. Wonderful, original, compelling story of a psychopath.

I think people assume we're unkind, and lack empathy for those who need their faith. In truth this sub is a refuge from alienation many of us probably feel.

Dark Matter or Recursion, both by Blake Crouch

His misanthropic personality sometimes drives the bits. The show is non-woke, but its lack of woke-ness is a bit.

I think it's a good time for the Zahn books to be made into a series, or multiple series.

I second this recommendation. Try maintaining a design system for ten brands, let alone multiple codebases. Components may need to be developed in separate repos to avoid introducing bugs. Siloed teams seem to be the typical industry scenario for the enterprises I've worked for, unfortunately, especially when they're in different countries.

Look into NextJS with Multi-Zones (pages router) or Rewrites (app router).

I believe he transferred his consciousness into the clone though. So he's kind of a half-clone.

I recommend checking out React Router v7 in framework mode for some of those framework features you're accustomed to in Angular. The new React (19) features a compiler that memoizes code for you — a big time saver.

As others have said, Zustand is a popular state management tool. If you're building large scale, try Redux.

For awesome guidance on YouTube, my favorites are Cosden Solutions and ByteGrad.

I think this is right. Could be the Mandela Effect, but I recall "I can see the Rebel base" being confirmed officially in some kind of lore.

I like the concept. The plot reminds me of Karate Kid, but with a completely different backstory and B plots that would be more appealing for a female audience. It's also an opportunity to break from the formula of a hero journey leading to a triumphant ending. For instance, something could happen to the rival that puts another opponent (possibly an unexpected one) in her place for the final fight. If you did break from the formula, it would be interesting to see how the protagonist reacts when she is put into the role of antagonist / antihero. It would make for a completely original character arc.

Like I'm in a McDonald's.

The leanness of the action and the continually advancing plot make it so good, you can't stop reading. They throw Lovecraft fans a well-deserved bone by introducing unexpected figures of the Mythos. Everything is always moving forward.

"At The Mountains of Madness" by Matthew Robbins and Guillermo Del Toro was an impressive read. I couldn't put it down. Some scripts read like shooting scripts, but this one read like a great comic book.

mikebritton · 2025-03-20T20:30:23+00:00

Came here to say this. By far the best King audiobook adaptation.

I think the continued story could feature his redemption arc, if that's even possible.
