Do this up front. Do it as soon as you possibly can. You will lose a huge amount of negotiating leverage if you "wait until you show them". I cannot stress this enough.

What I love about Next.js is not having to think about hosting, webpack, hosting, typescript, scss, and so on. It just works.

I initially fought to get SSR working, fixing hydration errors and making sure our code was isomorphic.

I later realized that I can just use the parts of Next.js we need and turned off SSR. It wasn't a big value add for our particular product.

But doing this wasn't straightforward. I hadn't even realized it was a possibility until I stumbled across a blog post.

I had to copy a NoSSR implementation of the internet. It wasn't just some flag I could toggle for a page.

I've also found myself recommending Next to folks saying "Use Next.js, but btw you don't need use SSR. Make sure the trade-offs make sense."

I'm curious if I'm in the minority of Next.js users. What percentage of them don't need SSR but value everything else?
Completely agree. I think the fundamental problem, is that the public facing internet is kind of like electricity or water - it is a utility, that isn't inherently monetizeable. So the only way to make money off of it is to advertise. And then advertisement itself is a cancer upon humanity ...
I can write a lot of words saying why this blogspam is not backed by actual fact. But a simple demonstration is in order: please go to bing chat and search for "West Ham United latest result". The normal search (either Bing or Google) will give you the failfest against Brighton. While Bing Chat will confidently say "I’m sorry, but I couldn’t find any information about the latest game result for West Ham United". Here is the screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/NOCn9ea .

I like LLM as much as the next guy on HN, but whatever this blogspam is describing is not backed by reality.

It's not only french companies producing them and the entities who are involved in pushing SIM replacements aren't as interested in mundane things such as marketshare, money etc. as you might think.

Don't forget this one for example: https://theintercept.com/2015/02/19/great-sim-heist/

I don't think the french abuse their SIM-powerposition, otherwise they would not force states like Palestine into using weaker encryption and such.

I just answered all the questions out of spite.
I think Musk is a breath of fresh air from the sterile, managed, corporate-speak drones. He already proved a lot of... "experts" wrong about the imminent implosion of twitter after he got rid of a bunch of people. I'm very interested to see how things go in the next few years. Here's his side of the story on that.

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1633011448459964417

I have worked in companies with a lot of dead wood in relatively senior roles. They may have done good work in the past, but they seem to stop doing much actual productive work and instead just kind of insert themselves into important projects and meetings and set about trying to make themselves sound indispensable. Yet they produce very little tangible output and their work can't be explained without vagueness and buzzwords. Leading efforts and driving changes and steering modernization and managing the paradigms, bringing stakeholders together, architecting solutions.

They're hard to get rid of for whatever reason. They've built little fifedoms, they have a reputation, they're very good at hobnobbing with middle management, or other dead wood.

Some orgs absolutely could benefit from a fresh pair of eyes to come in and have people justify their positions, and have the confidence and risk appetite to make some calls.

Now I don't know if Musk is telling the truth here, or anything about that ex-employee, his work or background. He might be a great worker who was well worth his salary in value created for Twitter. He could also be one of the other kinds, that failing orgs desperately need to rid themselves of. His twitter pitch is not highly confidence inspiring.

Twitter allegedly shed about 80% of its staff since Musk took over. Which is frankly staggering that it is still able to operate with 4 in 5 people in the company gone. Maybe that is cutting too far down to the bone but there has been no immediate implosion or collapse. Things still have a long way to play out, but clearly he did not throw darts at a board and fire random people or all the most productive ones if it could get that far.
What does he mean _Again_? We suffered that guy 4 years already

They all make $300k and can all go wherever they want and do whatever they want? Are you certain that is the case?

> ... like working hard and making their lives better

It's true that work can be very rewarding - "Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life" and all that. Plus who doesn't like making their lives better? I guess it is up to the reader to decide whether a job in Musk-era Twitter is one of those jobs, and whether working for the new "hardcore" Twitter would make your life better. I can only speak for myself but if I worked somewhere and I saw that after a takeover:

- half of my colleagues got fired one day

- some people occasionally get fired for on-the-spot violations like answering a CEO's question

- the company went from nearly-profitable to incredibly unprofitable (let’s even ignore how it got that way)

- the company stopped paying some bills and were kicked out of some offices and services

- the owner-and-CEO had become an extremely ... divisive figure, shall we say

- the owner-and-CEO declares that the existing product is brittle and broken and needs a ground-up "2.0" rewrite (a second system so to speak...)

... then I wouldn't see this as some wonderful opportunity, I'd see it as my workplace being turned into a plaything for a tempestuous billionaire who might not be as competent as he wants us to believe. And if I was a wealthy and financially-secure US permanent resident looking at a buoyant jobs market then I'd probably leave, take a bit of a breather then start looking for a new job at a different company. However if any one of those things didn't hold (maybe I'm an H1B visa holder, maybe I am young and don't have much savings or experience, maybe the job market kinda sucks, maybe I have am the sole earner in my family) I'd be in a much different and more depressing situation - maybe not literally "in shackles" but certainly not as free as you are suggesting.
And yet when they try to diversify to VR people say they should focus on what makes them money...

And hand-drawn maps like the swiss topo maps are a work of art.

I am biased, though, my father used to work in photogrammetry, Kern was one of the companies he worked for. We had lots of nice maps, and I have still some things from Kern in use (just some low level stuff like magnifying glasses, compasses and pencils).

That's the concept of lacking something you had before. What was revolutionary about zero, is it means you can add

1000
+ 900
+ 90
+ 9

and aligned like that, to get 1999, instead of having to do math to figure out what the hell MCMXCIX works out to be. With zero as the place holder, larger numbers are way easier to represent.
Something I don't understand: why eSIM or iSIM have to be hardware, why can't it be pure software, some credentials stored on the storage of the phone?

We just need denser RAM.
You don't even need Dual-SIM phones, contemporary SIM can contain various numbers/administrations. Both with and without hackery involved. It's just that the carriers don't want it / block it.
This is also why many of them outright refuse to sell phones with dual SIM capability.

To clarify, I'm referring to folks who just need to write single page apps, but don't benefit from SSR.

Here's another study for you, which shows a decrease in capacitance and increase in ESR (equivalent series resistance) of electrolytics operated in a DC-DC converter circuit at room temperature over extended periods of time. This shows that capacitors degrade even when used within their rated limits.

I would posit that this may lead to an even larger phenomenon of "I'm an expert because I read a wikipedia article" - people will come off of their little search with a GPT with a very rough understanding of a topic and propagate that. Except when everyone uses the same GPTs, it's like a bullshit wikipedia article that only a central actor can try and nudge into some semblance of correctness.
I can't say for sure which dishwasher I have since it came with the house, but knowing the previous owner it's from IKEA and one of the cheaper models.

In France for example SIM cards where a thing since cellphones exist, however I've lived in Japan and US in the 2000s and in both countries there was no SIM, you had to go through your carrier to change phones and they would setup your phone in the shop.

Alexa could be your therapist? It’s always helpful to talk to your house when you are feeling alone.

“Alexa, be my friend and talk with me for a while, ok?”
You're right, it cannot, and does wrap around.

But some people might think that it could, so putting the cast could increase readability for them. A similar reasoning applies with operator precedence: even though it's very well defined, we tend to forget it, so instead we put additional parentheses. But in a couple specific cases it hurts more than it helps.
Nope :') I do know a guy though, and I've heard good things. I'd love to hear about your experience too!

I know that it is possible to outgrow Swarm – I think that's a nice problem to have actually. We might include some tools for “graduating” from Lunni to something more serious like Kubernetes at some point.

I pirate movies because it simply provides a better user experience than streaming services.

I happily pay the €9.99 for Spotify Premium. I think I actually use it maaaybe 4 or 5 days a month, but it has virtually all the content I listen to, it has a pretty good app, and it Just Works on all my platforms. I probably wouldn't go back to downloading MP3s if you paid me to.

Meanwhile, the movie streaming experience sucks. The ecosystem is extremely fragmented (I'd probably need half a dozen subscriptions), content randomly disappears, the apps are universally awful and not even available on half my devices, and the bitrate is terrible.

Alternatively, I can enter whatever title I want - no matter how obscure - into a torrent website and get a 4K download link. It's way more convenient! I am currently building a small Raspberry Pi based NAS to offload downloads from my space-limited main machine, and that thing will probably end up costing me €400-450 altogether. I could get two to three years of Netflix for that amount of money - and I would've happily given it to them if they just... didn't suck so much.

The music industry saw a renaissance due to streaming and has never been more successful. The movie industry got greedy and delved too deep - they've got nobody to blame but themselves.
I haven't worked on iSIM myself, but I have colleagues that work on integrating iSIM onto an SoC.

The procedure around integrating an iSIM into an SoC is ridiculously strict. The integration and simulation has to happen on a workstation in a special room, not connected to the rest of the network, with camera surveillance, etc.

> We're also supposed to trust Qualcomm that this is secure

I don't know if Qualcomm can do things differently. I don't know if they can design the iSIM themselves instead of integrating from a trusted third party. But I doubt that the security requirement is any less strict. Telecom operators seem to be extremely paranoid about this stuff.

Essentially, it seems like it's not that much different from eSIM, you're just putting a similar kind of trusted module on the SoC instead of on the PCB.

> together with it's anti-tampering design

I'd be very surprised if iSIM and the whole Qualcomm SoC isn't designed with anti-tampering mechanisms. Seems like anti-tampering is becoming a general requirement for SoCs (with upgradable firmware and root-of-trust) being designed now.

I am not the one making extraordinary speculation. And I am not countering an argument backed with scientific finding, data or statistics, I am disputing one being backed with air. Both the priori (of things staying mostly the same where they were) and evidence (my single anecdote) is on my side, so far.
> I'm not 100% convinced we do live in that world, unfortunately.

Yes. I think also in principle we should not trust any advertising or other business deeply entrenched in surveillance capitalism to respect our privacy in any way, shape or form. Valuing privacy and having an Alexa doesn't combine. Having such device is not just creepy, it is foolish.
That's perfectly configurable in 5 minutes with an automation.

> The future is going to involve heavier cars for both emission and safety reasons. Fixating on weight is a bad idea.

This part implies that future safer cars will have to be heavier to be safer better.

I do not particularly want an EV future, I do want a future with less ICE cars on the streets, I would prefer less car dependence and stronger public transit.

EV ameliorate a lot of problems of ICE, but are not a panacea. In particular I would consider myself lucky if I would never have to see an electric SUV.
Voter fraud isn’t an issue.
TrustZone and Secure Element have been available for quite some time now. I think this problem is more because carriers/users don't want to give up control to software companies than it's about lacking hardware.
