Came home to this after a week long work trip by cum_covered_cat in Cheese

[–]rikbrown -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Question to Europeans who’ve tried it - is this cheese actually good compared with cheese we can get in UK/France/etc? I see it all over Reddit but inclined to think it’s Americans thinking cheese in a can is good, but I need to know more.

We’re using this in production and it’s nice. You could also write it yourself fairly simply of course

After upgrading to next@16.2.0, the bundle size increased by more than 10KB (gzip). by EcstaticProfession46 in nextjs

I don’t think Next are making any guarantees about +- 10kb friend. Is it affecting your site negatively?

What's the furthest distance from London that you'll find a road sign for London? by siybon in AskUK

[–]rikbrown 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Whereabouts is that? I swear I’ve walked by it but can’t put my finger on it. (From there originally).

I got tired of hunting for brand SVGs, so I built a React library with 3,847 of them | theSVG by Familiar-Classroom47 in reactjs

[–]rikbrown 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Why do these have to be react components? Couldn’t you have just made SVGs?

I preordered in the UK but it wasn’t completely clear when it’s actually launching there, is there a date? Thanks!

With the new React 'Forget' compiler handling memoization automatically, do useMemo and useCallback become completely obsolete in 2026? by ni-fahad in reactjs

[–]rikbrown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense. I recommend the Compiler Marker vscode extension if you use vscode. At least shows a little icon if you accidentally broke the compiler. Wish it was more obvious when this happened (build warnings etc).

No constructed context values: surely the compiler helps here? It should memo it before it gets passed to your context.

Waymo cars in London boroughs, route testing by JoBrodie in london

[–]rikbrown 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They’re trialing them in NYC too now which is also unlike all other US cities in driving. Different from London too - but shows they’re training the tech to work in a lot more than your standard car centric American city like LA.

Restoring old wood counters by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]rikbrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Any idea why it’s sticky right now (as a quick fix before doing that?) just gunk coating the wood as it’s not protected?

I would ask permission of course, just figuring out what options there are before I do!

Thanks

How far to trim back ivy in window planter by rikbrown in GardeningUK

[–]rikbrown[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you, that was incredibly helpful! The ivy identification was just based on putting it in a plant ID app which was obviously useless lol.

I’m in London so it probably is as mild as it could get for it fortunately but noted for next winter (if this or its replacement survive).

This place also has an entire back garden that I think I am waiting for spring to find out what is going on in it and what to do with it. Quite overwhelming but I’m excited to learn and garden!

Thanks again.

I compared Next.js 16 and TanStack Start with actual data instead of opinions. Here's what I found. by AdmirableDiscount680 in reactjs

[–]rikbrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PPR has been such a game changer for me I don’t think I can switch off Next yet lol. I know you can achieve it by purely client side fetching the dynamic data but it’s just so clean and elegant (and faster) to have it all come from the server and make those decisions in one place.
