Need help with migrating to next.js?

Looking for a React developer who would be productive from day 1?

I'm looking for full-time remote roles in a well-funded stable company (I will work in the company's core office hours. 0 issues with timezones. Been working remotely before covid)

Building websites since 2016, working with React since 2018 and have 2 years of production next.js experience

I value web performance (web vitals) and accessibility and could create high conversion dynamic pages
Yep. Plain text. Offline first. I pretty much consider markdown a form of plain text, whether or not that point of view is orthodox.

The only two other doc tools I regularly use are

a) completely human-readable plain-text hierarchical notebook with almost no markup in its stored format,

b) an html notebook, whose file format is largely human-readable w/markup referencing images -- png and jpg.

a) is gjots2. File format close enough to plain text to be indistinguishable. I sometimes write entries in gjots2 in markdown. I mean, why not?

b) is Zim. Nuff said.

I've played with recutils, and it's nicely done. But I don't want to think that hard, or be that organized.

If I know I want to organize my text and massage it a bit more, I sometimes use an old text database program by Carlo Strozzi called nosql (no, not the nosql the web crowd thinks I'm referring to -- it predates that. It's relational, plain text, but not SQL, and it just uses standard nix utilities).

If I need version control for plain text, the now ancient RCS program is something I seem to be able to re-familiarize myself with much quicker than I can with git.

Now having said all that, if someone asks me to write/format a Christmas letter for them, well, out comes Libre Office Writer and it gets saved in docx. Why fight the universe?
I have no connection whatsoever with China, my data is pretty much useless to them. Big Tech companies can use my data in all sorts of ways to fuck me over. It really is a no brainer to me.
> If the standards include GPA, that's not very fair to someone who went to a school that doesn't offer AP tests.

so make AP classes run/subsidized by the state, rather than trying to assign quotas to college admissions.
I would choose whatever everyone else on the team used.

I want to be able to draw on the institutional knowledge of how to get around things. I once made the mistake of being the only Windows developer at a company and it rendered me 80% as productive as I was constantly running into errors that nobody else had overcome.
Ukraine is the post-nuclear country. Ukraine has 4 working weapons grade nuclear stations.

If Russian will capture nuclear reactor, they can convert it to nuclear landmine, because reactor uses enriched Uranium, to create equivalent of 10k Chornobyl's.

Ukraine has know-how and nuclear materials (Plutonium) to create nuclear weapons at will. The only thing that stopped us is USA, Britain, France, and Germany, which used Budapest memorandum as leverage against Ukraine to prevent that.

I applaud this, simply devilishly hard.
Yes, was Lan Media times. :) I probably have more Ron stories since we worked in the office together every day.

Ron and I kept in touch. (since he replied to emails) I lived overseas for a while, and when I was in the bay area we'd meet up, I remember visits with him to get breakfast at Black Bear Dinner, or touring the computer history museum together, a talk at parc. I so loved his excitement, he was so excited to meet up with me...made me feel special. I loved how he'd just chat/teach and that curiosity and patience.

Ok a story. So on this SDSL project we need to simulate 10,000 feet of cable, so Dave and I got some big boxes of cable and put them under our desk. But as the project progressed we need fancier setups. Again Ron pitched in, shook his head at out huge spool of cable and disappeared into the lab. About 30 minutes later he came back with this little mass of resistors, caps all soldered together in a ball and said something like "here, this is a good enough model of 10kfeet of cable with a 1k foot tap..." I just remember this little ball of parts...and having no clue how he just came up with it out of thin air. I think he explained it, but woosh. Analog, complicated, not 1s and 0s.

Or when I left....I gave notice and Ron was really nice. But he kept suggesting I should give 3 weeks notice. Just stay on for another week, etc. I was young, and I never listened well anyways so was firm with my date. Too bad...if I'd listened stayed 2 more days I would have collected my rather sizable retention bonus....ah well.

Goramit! You've reminded me Firefly was killed too ruttin quickly.
I noticed a similar thing with my own young kids: if someone asked them a question and they weren't answering out of shyness, the the surest way to get them to respond would be to suggest a wrong answer, at which point they couldn't help but correct you (which was generally enough to break the ice).
I suggest you practice browser isolation and use chrome only for Google logged in services without ublock. Use other private browsers for other stuff with ublock (Librewolf or brave).
I'm a confused by the equity claim to justify discriminatory behavior with what seems like heavy emphasis on race. It seems difficult to achieve equity without transparent, and standardized methods emphasizing a holistic assessment covering visible and invisible, immutable and mutable characteristics--each of which impact individual outcomes.

I understand that tackling overrepresentation and underrepresentation is important; but, when emphasizing race to the degree that these academic institutions are, isn't this leading to representation disparities within the racial categories themselves? The racial categories are a very American centric and limited term, and arguably rooted largely as social constructs that loosely define the ethnic populations they cover. For example, and I don't mean any offense or to call any group out specifically, Koreans are overrepresented compared to Cambodians at the academic institutions listed in the article per their population proportion. This doesn't seem to be captured and accounted for under the current system. The same underlying disparity potentiality applies to whites, Blacks, Hispanics, Native Americans, etc...

The interpretation being, that it's a sort of half-committed approach to equity that isn't really leading to equitable outcomes if that makes sense, and may even be exacerbating ethnic marginalization within the racial categories.

Another question is, if this isn't leading to genuine equity of outcomes and instead passing discriminatory behavior onto smaller, marginalized ethnic groups, what do you do then? Do you revisit implementing an improved meritocracy system, or implement an equity based system with greater accuracy and precision to prevent this?

This doesn't even begin to tackle the issues current racial categorization creates with multiracial people and the essence of "purism."

Back in the 1960s and thereabouts, physicists liked to believe that this was the case. Since then, breakthroughs in our understanding of quantum mechanics and solid state physics has changed that (particularly in things like super conductivity). Today, it is pretty much accepted that the standard model is really, what is called, an "effective theory".

What this means is that we discovered that the structure and order, as we see in particle physics, actually appears everywhere in nature. For example, vibrations moving through a solid (such as when you tap the table in front of you) actually behave exactly like (what are incorrectly named for historical reasons) "fundamental" particles moving through space. They interact with each other mathematically with the exact same equations. Recently scientists even created a material which these "quasiparticles" (as the excitation are called) obey the laws of special relativity inside the solid, except the speed of light is replaced by the speed of sound in the solid.

All this probably reached its peak when the Higgs mechanism, and indeed pretty much the the entire theory between the Higgs particle, was discovered by P.W. Anderson in superconductors. He suggested that perhaps the same mechanism is what gave particles in the standard model their mass. He was proven correct, but the Nobel prize went to Higgs for historical and political reasons, and also because P.W.A already had one Nobel prize.

Now days high energy particle physics views space as a kind of medium, and the electrons and quarks etc as just being the particular manifestation of whatever chaotic thing is going on underneath (more particles or who knows what), which is meant by "effective theory".

Anyway, the point is that no, it isn't that case of a few fundamental rules are controlling everything. We now have a much better picture and it seems to be order and chaos appearing in all different scales in all different manner of ways and to understand each manifestation one needs to start a new each time.

Phillip Anderson's famous article "More is Different" from 1972 was the first to really espouse this point of view. It has become sort of an anthem for many scientists. https://www.tkm.kit.edu/downloads/TKM1_2011_more_is_differen...
There is always a war somewhere, but it doesn't affect everyone equally. For the average Finnish citizen, this is probably the first time since WW2 that a war is raging in the "real world" instead of just in the news. For the average American citizen, it doesn't look like the war has spilled from the news to the real world yet. Polish and Russian citizens see a bigger impact than Finnish citizens, and the impact on the average Ukrainian citizen is obviously far greater.

> What settings did you have the game on?

1440p "high" on 3060 Ti. My visual objections weren't just the low-quality lighting, textures, framerate cap, etc. (objectively kind of bad) but also the visual design of the game (which I thought was kind of tacky/garish and reminiscent of 2010-era low-budget multiplayer games).

> Pretty typical for every game though.

I saw some stuff that looked really out-of-place in an AAA game.

> If you want a faster weapon, use a faster weapon.

Yeah, I think this was me confusing an intentional design decision with poor UI. Still, I subjectively definitely prefer more responsive games.

> can you elaborate

The multiplayer didn't feel like an integral part of the game. They had to artificially incentivize you to use it in a ham-fisted way ("you get HP if people upvote the ugly textures you leave littered all over the place"), and the random ghosts popping up all over the place (I think part of multiplayer?) seemed useless and distracting.

> It intentionally pushes the player away from the modern norm where a game can be blown through by mashing the attack button.

I think this is an uncharitable comparison for non-souls games. I can think of several games I've played recently which absolutely ace many of the things that bothered me about ER and are by no means button-mashers. For example, Ori 2 (beautiful graphics and design, ultra-smooth rendering, extremely snappy response time, etc. - excellent implementation of a singleplayer timing-heavy game) and HL Alyx (incredibly good level design, solid graphics, very smooth, intense focus on control experience)
This looks like a pretty solid list!
This was pretty fun to play. Half way through the game I realised this was like flappy birds but within one screen. In saying that, this felt more fun to me because the space between each challenges was bigger, letting me I feel like I was more in control.
Facts have a half-life.

Yes, really. https://www.google.com/search?q=half-life+of+facts

In fact, there have been studies that measured the half-life of facts in each branch of science (it's not the same in all of them). This is done by taking a large number of well-known once-thought-good papers spanning a large period of time and then asking current reputed experts which ones have been falsified or rejected since their publication.

Ok, to be fair this is really a half-life of what-we-think-are-facts rather than a half-life of actual facts. The problem is that facts that are so universally obvious that no one would disagree they are facts... such facts are hard to come by. So it's not hyperbole to say that facts have a half-life even though it may seem more correct to say that knowledge has a half-life.

That is strange. I have a different model (KD65X80J), but it seems to have all the same options and software. Yet, even though I chose Basic TV instead of Android TV, the internet connection page did not have the option to skip. It might be a bug, as you suggest.
"Git for everything" is the first thought I had when I opened this article. I am trying to keep all my notes in Google docs and it's all good as long as you stick to their format. I can't edit text files in Google docs ! I mean, how absurd is this.

I feel like building a Google docs clone for simple text files. Just one feature - versioning (A Time machine like interface) and perhaps add collaborative editing later. I just want to write and store a text document without having to create multiple files. Automatic versioning of snapshots so I can go back in time and refer to any timestamp.

I feel like these affirmative action policies are attacking the wrong aspect of scholastic achievement that doesn't need to be addressed as urgently as other problems in the system. These policies benefit students that are already having some degree of success, but they don't help the students that really need help, the students that have serious trouble with their education like those described in [1]. Those students are basically pushed through via no child left behind and then graduate (or drop out) and immediately fall through the cracks of society into a poverty trap that is very difficult to escape without a real education, skills or opportunity. I think this is the place where the most gains are possible which can then lay the foundation for improving communities that seem perpetually stuck in poverty. In comparison, those getting into a top institution via AA would most likely experience some degree of success even if AA didn't exist.

For those that benefit from AA to get into elite institutions, this can paradoxically end up being harmful as they are often thrown into the deep end where they have to compete with peers that are the brightest in the world since they have had to go through all of the supplementary development necessary to compete with the best of the best to get accepted [2].

Interviewing someone from an opposite “frictioned background” is not considered a conflict of interest in law or ethics.

“Conflict of interest” is when someone has a clearly defined interest, usually in something of value, that opposes the interests of someone they have a duty towards.

In ethnic prejudice, there’s no clearly defined interest.

I know this sounds pedantic. But when a conflict of interest arises, the next questions are “when did it begin?”, “when will it end?”, “how big was it?”, and “can we mitigate it somehow?”

You can’t do any of those things with ethnic bias.

Ethnic bias is bad, but it’s not a conflict of interests.
I am going to call BS on NATO's threat to Russia. How many wars/conflicts has Russia engaged in without NATO interference? It is time to move on. If Russia doesn't plan to invade NATO territory, the most most NATO will do is criticize actions, not put warheads on foreheads. If anything, this is Putin creating a self fulfilling prophecy. Invade non-NATO members will make non-NATO members want to join NATO. Putin's response is equivalent to screwing for virginity. If Russia refuses to invade NATO territory, then NATO is doing its job. If any country refuses to invade NATO territory because of NATO's strength, NATO is accomplishing its goal.

Russian-Georgia War, Donbas/Donetsk, Chechnya, and the most NATO has done is member states providing arms to Ukraine and words of distaste.

How would a boyfriend or lack thereof even come up in an interview? Let alone so often as to be worth practicing such a thing? (I'm single, but I don't remember ever mentioning it in an interview. Though my memory is bad at this stuff so for all I know I've mentioned it every single time.)

On Twitter he made it very clear that he didn't believe the US that Russia was planning on attacking Ukraine, and did a lot of chastising of the media for trying to whip things up. Up until a speech by Biden around the 18th of February, after which he wasn't as sure.
Learning Is Overrated
> […] an order of magnitude lower number of instructions (equivalent but simpler, i.e. better) […]

I am not sure how to parse the «simpler, i.e. better» part; simplicity vs betterness is orthogonal at best and is contradictory at worst.

Very few people write meticulously handcrafted, highly optimised code for any ISA today, and the compiler writers actually prefer a more complex ISA as it becomes easier for them to transalate high level programming abstractions into an efficient concrete hardware implementation and run it through an optimising pass. Simplicity of the ISA does not immediately translate into faster or more optimised code.

Moreover, creating a highly efficient optimiser is no easy feat as it depends on a large variety of factors and the in-depth knowledge of a specific CPU incarnation: the knowledge of each instruction's timing, instruction interdependencies (i.e. the most optimal instruction sequence that does not stall the pipeline or maximises the ALU/whatever utilisation etc etc), L1 I and D cache line sizes, the knowledge of a particular CPU model / generation… – and that is just a beginning. There is a good reason why Intel, AMD, IBM, ARM et al publish hefty optimisation guidelines / documents for each generation of their CPU's with the compiler writers in mind: the same sequence of instructions issued for the CPU model 123 might be less (or more) efficient than in the next CPU model 456 and vice versa; moreover (e.g. specifically for Intel vs AMD), a sequence of instructions optimised for a particular Intel generation might underperform for an equivalent AMD model or vice versa. Same is likely to be true for different RISC-V core designs from different RISC-V vendors. This is the reason why -mcpu=XXX and -mtune=YYY exist in GCC and clang/LLVM: efficient low-level code optimisation is a tricky business and depends on a large number of compounding factors.

It remains to be seen how the optimisation will be tackled in the RISC-V case with its potpourri of optional ISA extensions and also with the instruction fusion. Given that a random concrete RISC-V implementation can be a combination of the base ISA + a random permutation of any RISC-V extensions (in the worst case scenario), emitting the code that will run equally efficient across N different RISC-V core designs appears to be problematic. Instruction fusion can pose another challenge as a fused macro-instruction may or may not run as efficiently on a RISC-V instance that does not fuse them. There is no guarantee that the compiler generated / optimised code will be equally highly performant across different implementations even for the same set of ISA extensions.
None of those things you listed are a problem for the upper half of minority households by income. For example, the upper-half of blacks have a higher median income than whites (including if you control for age) and no poverty.

And the bottom half, most of those aren't the kind of shitty parents you're suggesting they are, either.
