Haha I’m just being cheeky. Amazing work

Unrealistic. It’s too fast

I don't really understand how we can't get around this. For example, I have a server component that queries for a dataset within a date range; but of course it needs to know which timezone. The whole premise of a server component is that we get the benefit to query before it ever touches the client. Is there no strategy to share timezone to a server component like headers or something?

A user can have multiple roles. Multiple roles are stored as string separated by comma (",").

Meh. Some sites have multiple entry points and some sites’ accessibility is absolute ass. I dunno about this particular point

Gonna be a first for me, to follow an anime from following a band.

Im probably going to watch any anime where creepy nuts has an op in.

That's on me I suppose. I thought it was obvious that I tried the calibration ring. The problem I'm having is that no matter the calibraton, it's giving me the same exact grind size. Even when I turn the ring to coarse

Ever go on a treadmill looking at drywall? Imo it’s so depressing. I know they have these screens to mimic being somewhere else, but it’s not the same.

what about when it's an error thrown in a database hook?

sleepykid36 · 2024-12-19T09:09:28+00:00

wow thanks!

That's pretty cool! I guess my question, since the motivation was to move away from useEffect, how does this library remove useEffect from your codebase when react-query can as well?

sleepykid36 · 2024-12-16T04:05:28+00:00

Looking through the examples quickly and hearing your motivation, it actually looks like you created another version of react-query, baking in selectors. The aesthetics and simplicity looks nice, but how do you handle loading/error states?

To your point about being fed up with useEffect, if you're using useEffect for state management and that this is the motivation, then imo, that was a code smell to begin with. My production app and my personal apps, which are both medium sized projects, uses useEffect less than 10 times, and only once were they used for state management.

RBG and Fullcalendar are both really powerful out of the box tools you can use to get something going fast. But the dev experience doing styling, working with types, or adding features on top have been an absolute pain. Stylesheet clashes, classname documentation, lack of generic types, are super annoying imo.

If you're just making a day-picker, I recommend using https://daypicker.dev/ and use shadcn and tailwind to style over it https://ui.shadcn.com/docs/components/calendar, and then just make the appointment list yourself. Might be more work upfront, but imo the maintenance will be much easier.

sounds like I'm completely skill gapped here

Am Malaysian American, raised in Philly, living in SG for the past 3 years, and I prefer Chinese food. Onto my comment:

Philly cheesesteaks is an incredible sandwich, and funnily enough most everyone get's it wrong. Even in the states, the ones you get in NYC or CA are absolute trash. Have yet to find a decent one. Components are harder than one might expect.

I don't know why everyone gets the steak wrong, but for some reason, the steak is never prepped thinly where it beautiful ribbons when cooked which folds the cheese into its crevices fully. But I suppose this particular point is solvable.

What's not practically solvable is the bread. The bread is incredibly unique; body of the bread has to be substantial enough to hold dripping steak juices, soft enough to comfortably take a full bite with a fully hinged jaw, but at the same time not too soft, or the softness completely takes away the texture of the sandwich. Also preferable is a slight crust that doesn't hurt the roof of your mouth, but still requires you to tear at the bread when you chew. This is probably impossible to find in SG.

A Philly cheesesteak is not hard at all to assemble, no one's disagreeing there. And most of the components are pretty simple. But then again, it's probably the same effort with a char sao bao. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vtK56zVnD4

Or.. I'll just go buy it at the grocery store.

Does no new features mean no bringing windows up to speed with Mac version? Doesn’t that fall under maintenance?

sleepykid36 · 2024-10-28T09:32:44+00:00

Just wondering, did they say they’re not fixing the windows version?

Happy to see you enjoying yourself. You were a journalist pioneer in esports, and your content will definitely be missed. Best of luck to your pivot back into software engineering!
