Yes, I understand that there are tradeoffs there, especially for a lot of federated services, which even without SaaS have to be able to scale well.

My complaints mainly stem from how docker is often kind of finnicky, eg in a previous setup of my server, I had to put everything through a VPN, but Docker didn't play well with a VPN running on the main system, so I had to limit myself to things I could install without Docker until I had to migrate to a new install.

Another issue I ran into with migrating servers was restoring a Postgres db dump to docker, which similarly didn't have much documentation, so for that I had to resort to a traditional setup. Which made me pretty happy that they at least support traditional setups, even if they lean more towards Docker.

Unless you’re talking about SSG and not SSR, I think one potential issue would be that React’s SSR process is pretty slow and costly, at least from what I understand. I have to confess I haven’t heard of a pure-SSR React app before, as you wouldn’t get many of React’s benefits if it’s just being used as a templating language.
Apple or MS Surface or Pixel are the only ones where there's some direct connection between quality (os quality, ux, physical build quality, etc) and the people actually building it. Every other player who is not first party can just point fingers, it seems.

A couple years ago, when there was an MS Store in a physical mall in the area, I got close to buying a surface book (or... surface pro, or ... I can't remember the naming). The build quality and specs seemed decent in person. It's been the only time I have been tempted to jump back in to the windows world in the past... 15+ years.

Even google - I bought what as a 'flagship' phone from them in ... 2010(?). About 2 weeks later, it was discontinued, and I couldn't get any updates a year later. And the experience of setting it up and using gmail was... abysmally slow and just BAD. And this was getting whatever their 'top of the line' was at that time (it cost north of $500 at that time).

I've dipped my toes in and out of Android over the years, needing to get devices for testing client projects, etc. Sometimes it's been OK, but never enough to make me trust it again. If the experience from google on their own device with their own service was subpar, I just don't have the time to dig in and 'make it work'. When I showed someone, they told me the problem was gmail was slow because I had 'too much email'. As if the selling point of gmail for the previous 4-5 years wasn't "we'll hold all your email".

Why do I get the feeling that Norway's (and NATO's, and the US's, and ...) ability to discover & track drones in the air (or monitor control frequencies, or do radio direction finding on those signals, or ...) is about as "advanced" as conventional Air Defense was ~1937?

Ditto ASW technology. If a bunch of undersea pipelines, cables, etc. are Critical Infrastructure for you, and the Russians have ample ability and extremely strong motivation to sabotage those, and several acts of sabotage already appear to have occurred...MAYBE YOU SHOULD GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER, EH?

The flip side of that is that most of r/cscareerquestions is fixated on big tech jobs that have starting pay much better than the median for the area (or for that matter, industry) that are 100% remote for a junior position.

Yes, if you apply to Google you will be one of the countless resumes that applies and need something to stand out (see also the two types of college students in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33318407 ).

However, there are lots of other companies that are hiring that get a much smaller set of resumes.

The entry level job market for applying to a well known company that pays much better than average is much tougher than most people realize. And yet less well known companies can post https://exactsciences.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Exact_Scie... or https://careers.garmin.com/careers-home/jobs/9307?lang=en-us (there are lots more there, just pulled the first one) and only get a handful of applicants.

I admit find this response confusing.

Given that climate change is the primary reason for restricting nitrogen fertilizer, it's implicit that the farmers are contributing to climate change. Are the people claiming that the farmers are being blamed for climate change saying that the farmers are the only or primary driver for climate change? That would obviously be incorrect, but the former claim is absolutely correct.

Maybe it's not part of the conversation in the Netherlands, but I'm not seeing what's factually wrong about it. Are they actually claiming that climate change is part of the discussion in the Netherlands? If this isn't part of the conversation in the Netherlands, what exactly are they talking about?
Boomers hit peak retirement in the 2020s. That should mean unemployment will continue to stay low, wages will continue to rise, and that will all put pressure on inflation for a long time, along with Russian mineral resources falling off the market, and overseas labor costs appreciating (higher wages in developed markets where labor and manufacturing have already been outsourced, mainly China & India).

Part of the story is that we had a massive confluence of three deflationary pressures through the 90s to present: Labor deflation, Tech deflation, and Resource deflation.

Our biggest bulge in working-age westerners (Boomers) hit their peak skill years in massive numbers, keeping wages for skilled labor low & easy to source. The collapse of the Soviet Union dumped massive quantities of underpriced commodities and mineral resources on western markets, as their high-end manufacturing collapsed. And, shifting manufacturing to China & the far-east kept wages low for decades (on the low end). All of this, combined with the deflationary pressure of technology & automation (increasing worker productivity), brought prices for most goods down dramatically.

But, all of these trends are reversing in the long-term. Wouldn't call it a systems collapse though. Will probably disproportionately affect those on the margins.

This should create a lot of demand for even more systems which increase worker productivity– AI, automation, etc. -- which should be great for all of us in the tech industry, because there aren't a lot of other solutions to the problem (unless you can figure out how to massively lower demand while people are earning more than ever due to skilled labor shortages).

Even with the wage increases we saw in the last couple of years, a majority of these wage gains are probably ahead of us (potentially delayed by any cyclical activity).

It's probably nothing for you to worry about. But, it's likely to be a long-term trend that becomes the new normal for decades to come, and this will shape how we live for a few decades, at least.
That’s the story of my professional career. I was often the “lucky” one who didn’t get laid off or forced out and was tasked to keep the hot pile of tech garbage running. In my case after a couple of swings at bat by very expensive and different consulting companies, the CEO eventually gets fired. The traumatized like me say never again and we gladly tell the likes of Salesforce to please take our money and please leave a little of our budget to pay our salaries. Sigh.

Curious to hear from people out there using Next.js, but without _any_ SSR, i.e. using the `next export` command mentioned in the article: https://nextjs.org/docs/advanced-features/static-html-export

(Seems like the folks in the article are beginning to use SSR, and have some great use cases with publicly available, SEO-friendly content, but a lot of apps don't, and can benefit from avoiding the operational complexity.)

Create React App is a bit long in the tooth these days, so I can imagine `next export` being a lot nicer to work with in a whole bunch of ways, but the only advantage of `next export` I can think of over something more modern like Vite is file-system routing.

For those using `next export` but have also evaluated Vite, is FS routing what made you choose `next export`? Or is it something else?

Disclaimer: Asking with ulterior motives. I'm building https://reflame.app, a Vercel competitor focused on client-rendered React apps, with millisecond deploy times to previews and production. We currently have decent compatibility with Vite and CRA, but considering if we should try to add support for apps using `next export` as well.

Sure, if there's an issue that's actively harmful or prevents stuff getting done, it would make no sense to let it go unaddressed. But having managers trying to optimize culture leads to open plan desks and mandatory office parties - shit that might improve the cohesion of the team, sure, but if your 10x left because they don't like it, then it's not entirely focused on productivity.

> If you don't, then you're letting the culture be dictated Lord of the Flies style.

Moreover this is implying that you think of your team as a bunch of children stuck on an island. I'd have more faith in professional adults to do their job. Hopefully, nobody is under the illusion that money comes out of the office printer.

Honestly, I'd want to hire someone who hates being an employee more than someone who doesn't. Then, I'd at least know that they're under no illusions, and smart enough to know that they'll have to work.

That is a very human-centric viewpoint and a very strange one at that. It's almost egocentric.

Were big cats such as mountain lions and bobcats not robust enough in America? Because they've been eradicated due to habitat loss.

Is it really a surprise that animals that have evolved over millions of years to fit within the balance of nature are having difficulty adapting in just decades to humanity's technology destruction of that balance? The fact that some are able to make it through that imbalance is not a justification.

It's weird that you basically seem to blame evolution. And it's not just about specific populations. It's all about their interactions and relationships. We do not fully understand how all these things tie together as a system. So much of it is disappearing, we really have no idea what could happen to our ecosystems. For the most part, it cannot be good.

I am in general seriously concerned about soil and insect health. We take leaves and grass and native plants off of land and then instead needlessly dump water and fertilizer in their place because what's left is not self-sustaining. It's literally the most wasteful process you can think of for managing land, and yet we do it in full force.

I planted native plants and let things grow up in my yard this year, and it's amazing how popular the areas get with insects. This is just one year. Next year, I am hoping for much more, especially now that I know what I'm doing for the most part.
It was both. I'm glad you're making the effort, whether it's in limbo or not!

Pi has a name. As does sqrt(2). As does "e".

All of the important numbers have a name. In fact, we can do funny things with these names, such as (e^(pi * i)) == -1, and they're fully valid.

"Lack of names" seems like a non-issue. Plenty of irrational numbers have names. Heck, plenty of imaginary numbers have names (ex: i).

We have plenty of numbers we can't even write down. Such as Graham's number. Or googleplex. Does that make these numbers "less real" ??

That adds stability, not detracts from it. If I am deathly afraid of you punching me because I have no defense, then the moment I think you're going to punch me, I need to punch first. If I can take a hit, then I can wait to see what you were actually going to do. Further, if you think you can knock me out with one punch, maybe it's worth a shot. If you know I'm going to be able to hit you back, then that's far less incentive to try.

Although I agree with the problem you’ve framed. I still think the idea of building VR experiences to learn and educate about ancient times has a lot of potential.

Since, to a great extent, the problem you’ve outlined extends to every medium. And I still believe that movies and books that try to capture the state of the art in our understanding of previous civilizations play a major role in getting people interested and to care about digging deeper into the topics.
Medievalists are going to medieval, but I can't help but feel like the framing is strange...

An article that describes how today's pigs are different from yesterpigs is indeed interesting, but do we particularly care how medievally our video game pigs are? Surely Assassin's Creed holds more important factual errors than the correctness of its pigs; neither of which detract from the game. It's probably a much more entertaining game for them...
The fake books in the OP article are all used in garbage NFT scams. They're intended to produce an air of legitimacy for whoever publishes them. Whether they're actually sold or not is meaningless. It's rather all about clickbaitability and their use as a "legitimacy-dressing" surrounding some scammers' call-to-action button.

I think it is somewhat scary that these things can't just be instantly pulled from wherever they're marketed. They're just "tools-of-the-trade" for scammers. They serve no honest purpose.

arguably just force you to use windows. you could possibly go to a neighbor or library or something, but.. well.. a library would probably lock down random usb drives being put in or random software to manage gas meter accounts. and ... your neighbor may not want to share because you'd have access to their meter info as well (assuming you could even do that)... so... yeah...

> Most HR departments set salaries based on "market reference points" derived from data from salary survey companies like erieri.com. But the HR depts also send their salary data to the salary survey companies (that is how they get a lot of their data).

I'm trying to think through this and wondering how companies should set salaries. I mean, I get your point about wage fixing, but I get my information about how much to ask for from shared storage that try to determine "market reference points". Is the idea that it should somehow be done in a vacuum? Seems like a chicken and the egg problem.

"Wage fixing occurs when companies in the same industry conspire or agree to suppress employee earnings below the the market rate."

According to "https://www.nka.com/practice-areas/employee-rights/wage-fixi...". So, as long as they are at market rate and not below market rate, it's not wage fixing? On the flip side it could be that the shared nature of the information makes it easier for companies to compete with eachother on salaries and raises rates.
don’t bother with a firestick. firesticks used to be good, but last year they forced an update that did pretty much the same thing as Android TV, but worse. a massive ad-banner across the top of the home screen that you can’t get rid of, with your apps relegated to a tiny ribbon, followed by semi-adverts underneath

at least with android TV it’s sort of, somewhat a choice, for now, but this is flat-out immutable. you used to be able to sideload an alternative home screen, but another forced update removed that option too

buying a firestick is buying adverts for inside your house

Interesting work! I admit I just skimmed the post quickly, so sorry if it's been mentioned already, but: is there a way for users to report/flag bad suggestions? On YouTube, for example, there's a similar list of "bubbles" for topics and I keep getting suggestions of topics I'm not interested in because I care for adjacent topics (e.g. for one soccer team because I follow another one). I'd love to be able to long-press the bubble and then get a report/flag option in a pop-up menu, for instance.
