doqueon Server-Side Only React with Next

Which is the reasonable way to do it. However, uncacheable things might remain.

Because it could be personalized content that differs for each request/user.

doqueon Performant Front-End Architecture

Great looking app, giving it a try now.

doqueon LastPass stores passwords so securely, not even its users can access them

So in response to this story I decided to delete my (premium) account with them. After confirming multiple times (good thing), I was shown this error: https://i.imgur.com/4dpn6d5.png

How does error handling like this even make it to production?

I got an email as well confirming my account deletion and I can no longer log in.

But all in all this clearly does increase my trust in Lastpass's security competence.

doqueon The cost of parsing JSON

An interesting library I've found that tackles this issue is yieldable-json: https://developer.ibm.com/node/2017/11/13/yieldable-json-asy...

doqueon Apple's New Map

I just checked the Arial iamgery of my home and the data appears to be more than 6 years old.

doqueon Apple's New Map

I wonder how this happens. If Apple has the capacity to detect grass strips between roads, how do they misplace an entire part of town (into the ocean, no less). Isn't there some sort of process in place to detect false positives?

doqueon The Effectiveness of Publicly Shaming Bad Security

Not password checks, but rather "does my email appear on haveibeenpwnd.com".

doqueon An ode to Apple’s awful MacBook keyboard

I got the first model with the new butterfly keyboard and the touchbar in April 2017 and I still hate it. I appreciate the idea of adding a touchbar for regular users. After all, it might be nicer for them to just press "Next Song" when using Spotify than fiddling around with Fn+F*. But for power users/developers, why do the most powerful MBP models come with these useless gimmicks? I'm using Dongles on 3/4 of the USB-C ports right now and that's not going to change anytime soon.

I wish Apple listened to developer's voices a bit more. To me, it's not a matter of price, either. I'd gladly pay more for a MBP with more/different ports and without a touchbar than I would for this model.

doqueon REST is the new SOAP

I agree. There are plenty of freedoms built into the REST way that enable you to create more or less detailed responses.

  "I don’t care. Trees are recognized by their own fruits.
   What took me a few hours of coding and worked very robustly, with simple RPC, now takes weeks..."

Weeks? For a REST API? No, I don't think so. REST gives you the tools to be pragmatic and quick, so use them.

doqueon How to optimize React applications that use Redux

It's one of the essentials principles of redux [1] that reducers must be pure functions without side effects.

If you violate that principle, then yes, your assumptions break. That's why you should keep it in mind. You can't really blame the framework if you purposely go against its basic rules.

doqueon Ask HN: How often do you commit / push in Git?

I commit everything that I want to be able to recover/share. If it's necessary to share (e.g. open a pull request), or if I want to have a distributed backup of my work, I'll push.

doqueon Germany's Wi-Fi Shortage Set to Ease as Merkel Backs New Bill

Clearly you've not used a German cell phone plan, nor have experienced the LTE coverage across Germany.

doqueon iLoo

    The i-Loo featured an internet-enabled monitor on the cubicle wall and a special
    printer that would allow users to print information
    on a standard toilet paper roll.

I would have loved to see that product pitch.

doqueon Facebook's Top Open Data Problems

3. Hive is Facebook's data warehouse, with 300 petabytes of data in 800,000 tables. Facebook generates 4 new petabyes of data and runs 600,000 queries and 1 million map-reduce jobs per day.

So 4 PB per day, but only 300 PB total?

doqueon Firebug 2.0

Firebug is still the best tool set on any browser. I still recall the times where you had to debug IE using alert() statements without any sort of debugger.

doqueon Show HN: Brix for Bootstrap

I can't login with my credentials after confirming my email (confirmation hash: 160caba46334a76427bbfc0d127542f8), so that's kind of a show stopper.
