collaborative··on Server-side rendering is a better choice for many applications (2020)
I don't get it either. I suspect it's investor hype, just like they hyped using "the cloud" which is also a huge money waster

> It's cheaper

> You will need a backend anyway. It'll need to expose data to users. Exposing it as HTML is no harder than doing it via JSON or GraphQL

Sure, if your "app" is just buttons and UI that interacts with a backend DB, I agree. However, many PWAs and native apps do lots of heavy lifting on the client side, and loading the backend with that is not cheap at all!

That's why any amount of "processed" is bad. In doubt, cook from scratch. Anything that comes wrapped up is suspicious
collaborative··on America’s Obsession with Weight-Loss Drugs Is Affecting the Economy of Denmark
The body will metabolize the extra calories _for some time_, but eventually it will run out of coping mechanisms and it will give up, resulting in going up to 350lbs

That's why kids who grow up eating unhealthy can look healthy for a while, but eventually they look like their parents. And once the body is out of buffer, any extra calory goes straight into storage

Aisearch.vip

I have given up on it because it belongs to a market that requires being a large, well-known entity (search). So I just use it for myself since I find it extremely helpful, but I am always happy when random users give me tips ans suggestions on how to improve it further. It's not 100% done and it's capped at one free search per day because again, I am not trying to grow it

collaborative··on Federal agency tells SF workers to work from home due to unsafe conditions
It may work well in certain European countries, but in certain others (i.e. Spain) the police will actually take the side of the criminal that's stolen your house and all your property within it as long as they can claim to have "resided" longer than 24 hours (a pizza delivery receipt is fine). You then have to sue, wait for up to 3 years to get a court order to "evict" the new occupiers, and be ok with losing everything you once owned. This is the result of going soft on criminals. Now there are organized crime syndicates that steal houses wholesale and "resell" the new keys for 1000 euros
collaborative··on Temptations of an open-source Chrome extension developer (2021)
I don't know what the solution to this is, but I know a few trusted/legitimate companies that sell their user data for around £20/year even after having monetized their users with actual money

I will never do this because violating privacy goes against the core of my beliefs, but there is a conflict I can't seem to work out. On the one hand, I KNOW that the vast majority of users prefer to sell their privacy than pay a single penny. They would gladly click on a "sell my data" over a "pay money" button any day of the week. I know this because I have interacted with enough users to know these things. Many users will suffer a fit when things are not free but won't lose any sleep over giving away their personal details. Again, I speak of the majority and in general terms

On the other hand, I want the internet to be a place where unscroupulous actors don't flourish. Most people don't expect to get things for free in the real world, why should the internet be any different? Why does everyone (myself included) always look for free stuff on the internet?

The worst bit of it all is that in the end, the only people interested in spending money online are data thieves and advertisers. Everyone else is giving their soul. Developers are somehow expected to work for free so that this entire edifice can stand

collaborative··on The Sad Bastard Cookbook
Healthy meals take 2 hours to cook but can be consumed during multiple days

As a starter, one must at least eliminate all candy, sugary products, and bad oils. I look around and see no hope for society. Even "healthy meals" are just a substitute for rich, once-a-week-at-most recipes

In Spanish, the centuries-old idiom says it best: mesa pobre, mesa sana (a poor table is a healthy table). But people find that too _boring_

collaborative··on Oregon decriminalized hard drugs – early results aren’t encouraging
I agree but I find it is actually harder to recover when the focus is on finding the reasons for addiction

We are fallen creatures and simply accepting our fallen nature might be more productive

collaborative··on Oregon decriminalized hard drugs – early results aren’t encouraging
The problem as I see it is that any "treatment" requires the addict wanting to be treated

You could argue that the Taliban are the government that cares the most about addicts, because they are actually making addicts change the way a parent corrects a child

But addicts are grown ups with free will

collaborative··on Ask HN: Is the market bad, or am I having the worst luck job hunting?
Maybe it's because I never go on it, but every time a contact posts or visits my empty profile, I get notified. I can only imagine the notifications they would get if I started actually putting my info online. I might want to share it with a recruiter on a one-off basis, but I dislike having my cv available to everyone. I like to live a private life and not be publicly tracked, is that too much to expect nowadays? Just asking because I haven't job searched in a long time
collaborative··on Ask HN: Is the market bad, or am I having the worst luck job hunting?
It just bothers me that people get notified whenever I'd do anything on it. As for myself, I simply make notifications go to my spam folder

I prefer to share my information when I want and with whom I want, but LinkedIn feels like a meat market. If FB was personal marketing 101 (only sharing what makes you attractive), linkedIn feels like an advanced course on being fake. It kind if disgusts me

collaborative··on Ask HN: Is the market bad, or am I having the worst luck job hunting?
I haven't looked for jobs in nearly 9 years now. Is a LinkedIn profile essential nowadays? I have dropped all social media and LinkedIn is one of the most invasive. I really dislike how it notifies you for everything

collaborative··on Expo – Open-source platform for making universal apps for Android, iOS, and web
...and I of course wish you every bit of success. The root cause of many problems is Android and iOS specs changing every 6 months in a not backwards compatible way. It makes maintaining any framework an even bigger headache. I hope you have the determination to keep your level of support high enough to overcome this
collaborative··on Unpacking Google’s Web Environment Integrity specification
It will, but curl and others will likely simply be upgraded with a puppeteer of sorts that plugs into your chrome runtime. So this will have prevented nothing (except force not technical users to adopt chrome and thus kill all new browser incumbents, offering the chance to force feed even more google ads)

Thank you. What would you have it replaced with?
collaborative··on Expo – Open-source platform for making universal apps for Android, iOS, and web
Expo has an impressive team and investor backing

However, making your apps depend on a framework has the following dangers:

- the framework might stop being maintained

- the vc-backed framework might need to become monetized beyond your means

At the end of the day, all these frameworks offer are convenience APIs to easily integrate with native things like push notifications or social sign-ins

However, even when these work, they will force you to do things their way, and you won't be able to fully customize your app

Learning how to do these things natively in iOS and Android requires extra effort but pays off in the long term. Using frameworks, the time saved in the beginning of your app development journey will be greatly offset by the extra time required to do things like editing framework output in each build towards the end of your journey

collaborative··on The Fall of Stack Overflow
One of the bad side-effects of this is the effect on "free" support channels like GCP SO tags. Questions rarely get answered, and you often will get an "answer" reminding you this is a volunteer forum. This can be quite bad when the question is "what does error xyz mean and why is it crashing everything". It makes community driven support a no-go

collaborative··on The Fall of Stack Overflow
I happen to have tried this multiple times. Every now and again I want to erase all trace of me on the internet. HN doesn't allow it. They tell you that you can give a spreadsheet with comment ids and how you want to rephrase things in case you've given TMI about yourself (in order to anonymize). I just don't have the time to go through my entire history to do this. So I attempt to post less, knowing I don't own my comments and I can be tracked

Reddit is actually a lot better in this regard

collaborative··on Advice for finding a technical co-founder (2021)
A lot of honesty here. I can't help but point out the spiritual hole this upbringing can leave on children. Parents who prioritize networking and building relationships with the rich and successful show a poor example to their children that need to learn important lessons like compassion, inherent human value, altruism, generosity, etc. It's like teaching them the opposite of the story of the "Good Samaritan"
collaborative··on The underground economy of Glassdoor reviews
I have operated a organigram app for the past 5 years. One of the bigger user segments is these so called ORM agencies. They use the app to keep track of their large "teams", assign tasks, etc. A team can be as large as 12,000 members

At first I didn't know what to think. Then I learned that their teams are mostly made up of illiterate people who need a few bucks to survive. I don't blame them. Online reviews are useless, if you need to know something ask someone you know, don't just take the opinion of someone on the griftnet
