> Most non-nerds don't know how to use the feedback tool. That is the reality.

100%, you've done all you can! I enjoyed the article, but was just remarking that you weren't technically needed to fix the issue. Either the feedback tool works, or it doesn't.

jonny_eh··on Street address errors in Google Maps
> I believe that there is no accepted global system for "how street addresses work", but there has to be a better solution then a business owner reaching out to a friend's cousin to try to get a serious problem fixed.

The friend's cousin did what they could have done themselves, use the feedback tool.

jonny_eh··on Next.js version 15.2.3 has been released to address a security vulnerability
The middleware should fetch auth, not check it. Each page should check the auth provided by the middleware. Skipping middleware wouldn't bypass anything in this case.
jonny_eh··on Next.js version 15.2.3 has been released to address a security vulnerability
I'll never go back to a pre-React rendering library. Newer ones, sure. jQuery was awesome in its day, but it made beautiful spaghetti.
jonny_eh··on Next.js version 15.2.3 has been released to address a security vulnerability
That should be the server. Your Nextjs app should have zero access to business data without at least an auth token. And if you're relying on middleware for auth, it'll be responsible for providing that auth token to the rest of the app. And if you bypass middleware, then there's no auth token, and no vulnerability.

This is only a vulnerability if you have pages you don't want to render for some people, regardless of upstream data it would need to fetch.

jonny_eh··on Microsoft cancels leases for AI data centers, analyst says
> There is no light indicator

Counter point: Light indicators are ugly and usually unnecessary. Most people charge overnight, and don't want/need a light in their face.
