tacker2000··on Denial of service and source code exposure in React Server Components
How does Next accomplish more than a PHP/Ruby/whatever backend with a React frontend?

If anything the latter is much easier to maintain and to develop for.

tacker2000··on Denial of service and source code exposure in React Server Components
This is about React Server Components, a subset/feature of React that can optionally be installed and used.

Apps that use React without server components are not affected.

tacker2000··on How Google Maps allocates survival across London's restaurants
I disagree, i’m always using Google to find new restaurants and places to go to in my own (fairly large) city.
tacker2000··on How Google Maps allocates survival across London's restaurants
Very interesting, ive always wondered how google decides to show restaurants or other POIs if they overlap and there is a large density.

Im sure they favour the ones that use google ads, but i would not think that they are bullying places a la yelp.

Anyway its pretty crazy that nowadays your success as restaurant is so dependent on one huge platform. (… and actually, lets not forget the delivery platforms also)

tacker2000··on Pebble Index 01 – External memory for your brain
Its going to be interesting to see what will happen with Airpods and the like…
tacker2000··on The closer we look at time, the stranger it gets
Also see the twin paradox, which is related to this and equally fascinating.

If one twin stays on earth and the other makes an intergalactic trip (with the speed of light), upon return, the one on earth will have aged much more than the one on the trip.

tacker2000··on Kroger acknowledges that its bet on robotics went too far
I would guess that having everything on one floor optimizes the unloading, restocking and logistics. Also construction is cheaper.
tacker2000··on Palantir could be the most overvalued company that ever existed
The Wikipedia user based his drawing off of this sculpture from 1711, so it seems the american continent was actually already quite well mapped back then.

tacker2000··on Leaving Intel
Yea I found that weird. Who is going to execute your gradiose plan once you leave? Why would anyone else care so much as to see this through?

Seems a bit arrogant and short sighted. He would be the only one that cares about this in the end.

tacker2000··on Zig quits GitHub, says Microsoft's AI obsession has ruined the service
Im using Jenkins, which i know is controversial here, but it has been rock solid since years for me.

And there exist a lot of specialized solutions out there, where the business model is purely CI.

tacker2000··on Zig quits GitHub, says Microsoft's AI obsession has ruined the service
To be fair this has more to do with Github Actions than Github, which from the beginning was never really going to rival any professional solution.

The people at Zig should use proper CI tools and not something that a big service provider is offering as an afterthought.

tacker2000··on Head of Germany's Sovereign Tech Agency believes that Europe must invest in OSS
Wow, i actually expected some nonsense like this but this is just hilariously tragic.
tacker2000··on John Giannandrea to retire from Apple
The new guy they brought in has already jumped ship twice in the last 6 months, 16y at Google, then to Microsoft in 06/25 and now to Apple.

Was the MS gig so bad?

tacker2000··on Last Week on My Mac: Losing confidence
Yea im even worse, i was on mojave until last year.

Update frustration has long set in.

Im gonna buy the new macbook pro with the M5 max when it comes out in a couple of months (from an intel 2019) and this will probably be my last mac, im giving them one last chance before i move to Linux.

I dont have big hopes though…

tacker2000··on The healthcare market is taxing reproduction out of existence
yea, 40k is not the "real cost" of the birth, if he includes his + the wife's health insurance premiums in the calculation.

$25,680 premium + $14,300 deductible = $39,980 annual cost

So actually if we compare this with a European country, it would be an almost similar amount in the end: there is no deductible, but health insurance/social security taxes can absolutely reach around 2k-3k per month if you earn enough.

tacker2000··on How we built the v0 iOS app
No sorry, I'm not going to read your PR fluff.

You might want to look at the comments in this thread [1], to get a feeling of the "accusations", as you want to call it... I'm not "accusing" anything, I really couldn't care less, I don't use Vercel/Next.js and never will, but maybe you should read the linked thread, too see how people (at least on HN) see your company.

tacker2000··on React and Remix choose different futures
Yea, i also dont like GraphQL. Why they needed to replace the good old REST interface, which was working perfectly, I will never understand.

The tech team there seems to be making some shortsighted decisions in the last couple of years. Lets see if its going to bite them in the long run...

tacker2000··on How we built the v0 iOS app
Are you serious? Your whole business model is built on locking in users and then selling them expensive hosting.
tacker2000··on React and Remix choose different futures
Yea, or Vue or Svelte?
tacker2000··on React and Remix choose different futures
Well I hope Shopify will have enough third party app developers in the future, now that they have moved everything to GraphQL and Remix (and killed all the other SDKs, like PHP for example), and now that we willhave a non-React Remix soon.

Im pretty sure not many devs will switch to Remix just to work on Shopify Apps…

tacker2000··on India orders smartphone makers to preload state-owned cyber safety app
Most people in China install Wechat by choice, anyway
tacker2000··on Google Antigravity just deleted the contents of whole drive
I meant "still" as in right now, so yes I agree, it's not adequate right now, but maybe in the future, these LLMs will be improved, and won't need them.
tacker2000··on It’s been a very hard year
Sure, but it seems here that they are rejecting everything related to AI, which is probably not a smart business move, as they also remark, since this year was much harder for them.

The fact is, a lot of new business is getting done in this field, with or without them. If they want to take the "high road", so be it, but they should be prepared to accepts the consequences of worse revenues.

tacker2000··on Google Antigravity just deleted the contents of whole drive
It still needs guardrails, and some domain knowledge, at least to prevent it from using any destructive commands
tacker2000··on Google Antigravity just deleted the contents of whole drive
This guy is vibing some react app, doesnt even know what “npm run dev” does, so he let the LLM just run commands. So basically a consumer with no idea of anything. This stuff is gonna happen more and more in the future.
tacker2000··on Trade Chaos Causes Businesses to Rethink Their Relationship with the U.S.
You are comparing apples and oranges.

For food items, the import regulations are much stricter in every country than for stuff like electronics or clothes. Meat especially is very highly restricted, due to differences in feeding, antibiotics, etc...

And how are "large companies" making deals? The same import duties apply to everyone.

tacker2000··on Apple to focus on 'quality and underlying performance' with iOS 27 next year
Why do they even need to release a major version every year? Whats the point?

For the hardware, i get it, but the OS doesnt really drive sales, and if you have the pressure of releasing new amazing features every year then maintenance and bugs get left behind, and you end up in the situation that we have now…

tacker2000··on Editing Code in Emacs
You can also use a great vim “integration” in emacs by using doom emacs.
tacker2000··on Original Superman comic becomes the highest-priced comic book ever sold
Yea, would he have said the same for some old worthless TV program magazine?
tacker2000··on Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash
Well yes we dont want you slurping up all our data indiscriminately and feeding some AI with and and thereby enshittifying the OS.

If i need to use AI I will paste text into ChatGPT.com or wherever, i dont need Word to constantly annoy me with it.

Of course this guy is “surprised”, his whole division will be shut down if this fails.
