This used to be the reputation of Nintendo.

I think it was more true in the late 90s/early 2000s. Now that enough time has past, it seems like the GameCube was the last genuine quality system and genuine quality games.

After that it was just gimmicks and marketing campaigns. You can see this from both hardware and software sides. With TotK's flop, people were able to see BotW wasnt that great, and its getting people to take a more objective look at Nintendo 'Quality'.

I wonder if Nintendo will continue to keep loyal people repeating the line about 'good Nintendo games', but with Indie devs making games that are more enjoyable than Nintendo, how much longer can Nintendo keep giving people bare minimum? (Honestly my bet is forever, they will turn into a gambling company sucking the money from their IP devotes before Nintendo dies)
Of course the sound chip is emulated. That's the purpose of MAME. It emulates everything in the original hardware, sound included.

Man everything he said about his audience: it's me. I'm his audience.
I don't understand why people are downvoting advice to plant trees. Are there so many anti-tree people out there? I'll bet they use toilet paper...but maybe not. All that paper and wood has to come from somewhere. Replace and replenish.
A small bit of nagging to register, I suppose.
'Breakthrough'
I think anyone who says everyone uses X now exists in some kind of bubble when it comes to technology.

I don't want to counter their point just for the sake of countering it but if a person's only supporting argument for using a tool is "everyone uses it" there isn't much of an argument to be had in the first place.

Funny, trying to open the post's link (https://nextjs.org/blog/next-14) with JS disabled, it renders a "beautiful" blank page.
That is a resume.

I wonder how he feels about modern Nintendo. I feel like I'm second hand embarrassed for them.
The growth in the US economy between 2000 and 2020 has resulted in many high-paying software jobs, including my own. Absolute BS that it’s all going to billionaires

That's the point of the discussion, how much of that opportunity cost is due to monopolistic behavior on the part of Google?
Ah yeah, so the "facilities" section of https://oxide.computer/product/specifications has some of these things, probably the closest we have to publicly publishing that in a general sense.
Interesting! Year-round honey sounds pretty good.
user: sunshowers has been replying in this thread and mentioned going from FAANG-> Oxide and taking what seemed like about a 60% paycut.

Yes it is somewhat of a stumbling block, but I'm betting they are getting extremely high quality employees who are doing it for the passion and not just for the money.
we need something like [this](https://www.azureperiodictable.com/), but across all cloud providers
Lots of people from our generation are automatically going to turn down Edge because it comes from Microsoft and so gets mentally stashed with Internet Explorer. In reality its a Chrome clone that is slightly better integrated with the Office suite and which will let you access Bing chat.

Speaking of Bing chat, how many people don't use it because it is named Bing? Bing was a joke for so long and the more Microsoft pushed it, the more of joke it was.

If it were doing a ton of compute-shader simulation on GPU to actually increase the fidelity of the simulation that would be one thing, but having a badly implemented graphics pipeline isn't that.
Yes, it was a real question.

"Climate change" didn't come in vain: there are many news using small events as a final proof of a new ice / greenhouse / warm / climate change era. So, can the fact of something happening in the past be a proof of something ? And yes, your reply was a good one. Assume "good faith" should be the norm to a open and sincere debate... Thanks!
Dell is a single vendor that will diagnose and fix all of your hardware issues.

And you'll be down for weeks or months while they do it.
They screwed up the defaults. When I first loaded it was set to a resolution with a 24Hz refresh rate. Also the game looks bad with the default SMAA, it looks great if you change the advanced graphics settings to use TAA. I'm on a 3080 at 4K and after fiddling with settings it looks wonderful and is very playable. Unbelievable that they hosed the first impressions so much.
I agree wholeheartedly that frontend work is very, very complex (and has only gotten more so in recent years), but I disagree it's the hardest part of the stack simply because you typically don't have to worry about scale.

Imagine a system processing billions of records per day/week/month, dealing with data caching, data warehousing, providing realtime notifications to users and external systems, managing queue workloads, handling inbound requests from various APIs, syncing data between backend systems, running multiple data stores and scaling across multiple regions, redundancy, and handling incidents that arise on the backend. This is typical for complex web software.

A frontend system that provides the interface to that backend system will usually not have issues arise in the middle of the night due to the automated processes happening on the backend, will not have to worry about how many users are using the system nor how much underlying data there is.

No matter how difficult it is to do the initial development of the frontend (or to keep that code updated when browsers change), at the end of the day once the development is done it's static code interfacing with a much more complex underlying system that requires constant attention as underlying data and business requirements evolve.
its also a 3070ti and playing at 1080p, which is sort of ridiculous.
That's true, which makes them perfect for Powerwall-type backup power, where weight is not a concern and the number of cycles will be very low.

The other way to deal with low cycle count is to keep the cells only half-charged and minimize the excursions from that. A large pack that goes from 40 to 60 percent daily will last eons compared to one cycled from 90 to 10 percent.

From what I understand, the degradation of the cell is not linear with the discharge excursion. So you may have exponentially better battery life the narrower of charge band you keep it in. If anyone has more detailed information let me know, I'd like to see better numbers.
oh ok appreciate the transparency !
Uhhh, this doesn't even make sense. Simulation speed is usually controlled by a button.
> I want my JS on the frontend and not hot loaded from the server

I'm fascinated by this. Literally, in every other HN thread in existence, you find stadiums of people shouting that they hate slow-loading SPA pages, and that all the work should have been done on the server, as God intended. Only on the release of Next.js 14, of all things, do you find people saying that actually SPAs are great and SSR is a regression!
Because they spent $2k on the GPU alone to do such things.
How do you think this will affect companies building single-tenant apps?

I can imagine SaaS businesses offering their product as a "box": making on-prem significantly easier. Deliver your software along with the hardware, hook it into their network.

Done.

Anyone with more experience have thoughts on if this will potentially become a common option for SaaS?

It takes a lot of time and effort to pare down the assets and add tricks to make a game look good on lower hardware. Targeting current-gen GPUs means the devs get a better game out in the same time and budget.
The Franklin Expedition of 1845 comes to mind. There were even theories about new-ish technology (tinned food) accidentally poisoning the crew with lead.

One weird issue I had with next 13 was radio button groups did not work. The suggested fix from a core next contributor and fb employee was to "Upgrade to a canary release"...

I get that you are building all these new cool features, but that cannot put basic functionality and backwards compatibility at risk. Radio buttons have been around forever, I'd assume that they are being used by tons of websites all ove the place. Yet hydration of SSR radio buttons was not being done properly and so you could not set a default value for your radio button...

This kinda shit is just basic. You can't add new features at the expense of basic functionality.
IBM invented this a long time ago.
Mainframes.

>They sell servers, but as a finished product. Not as a cobbled together mess of third party stuff where the vendor keeps shrugging if there is an integration >problem. They integrated it.
Haha, I’m absolutely no expert. My knowledge is broad, but far from deep. I like the saying ‘I know enough to be dangerous’, it perfectly suits me.

I agree with the general sentiment though, it’s why I come here too. That and the fact it’s a significantly healthier replacement for discussion than Reddit ever was.
Another interesting option is Accoya lumber. It is acetylated softwood performs as well as traditional hardwoods in exterior applications. It looks nice too.
We know why. The game had to ship on a date, and those responsible were not willing to delay the launch date on the basis of performance issues.
What does vite/bun/deno has to do with keeping JS on the frontend?
I'll do you one better: use hyperwave. https://github.com/tireymorris/hyperwave

It allows you to build full-SSR apps with Tailwind and JSX, has support for SQLite and HTMX, and is in general a great return to how web dev used to be / should be.

This is gold level comedy. I am not sure how no one in the tech industry is seeing this.
You could kind of excuse American protesters for #2. I like to think that most Americans who sympathize with Palestine do so on the basic grounds of "everyone is entitled to personal freedom, dignity, and a place to call home." It all gets muddy when you understand the history and how they got here, but who in America really knows hardly any of that (even recent events)?

#1 and #3 are just bizarre. You have to have a seriously fucked-up world view to excuse what Hamas did on Saturday, regardless of anything and everything Israel did prior to that.
In recent history it's largely due to the Sykes-Picot agreement. The Ottoman Empire fell at a time when nationalism was arising and empires were going out of favor. In that power vacuum, inaccurate lines were drawn in the sand by colonial powers with little stake in life in the region. Since then every nation carved out of the area has been fighting over anything and everything because historically the area was ruled by large empires rather than the nation-states that were arbitrarily drawn there now. The history of the area is so old and intertwined that every country there has a claim of something on the other side of their borders within spitting distance. Western Europe had similar issues when the Western Roman Empire collapsed.

PS: I’m not sure why hyperfurism’s reply was downvoted to oblivion. They were correct.
well, i just wanted to get a feeling what experience it would be using their web console and it seems they still have some limitations in place that have long been solved by other "hyperconverged vm-deploy" players.

Want to spin up not only 1 but 20 instances via the console? Nope.
Any kind of guest agent in the virtual machine? For direct interop?
How is the guest filesystem freezed during snapshot creation?
Checkpoints for incremental vm backup?
They seem to use raw images, not qcow2? Why?

etc..
Which part of this release do you find more difficult? For applications that need those dynamic constraints, like auth and personalization, we’re working to make this even easier starting this this version.

This version also includes stability for Server Actions, which includes a hook useOptimistic for optimistic updates.

I agree the offline story isn’t great today and we could do better there.

Scott Air Force Base in Illinois, perhaps?
How did you like Accoya? I've been thinking about using it for a few projects.
For anyone looking for a better alternative to the current web dev landscape:

use hyperwave. https://github.com/tireymorris/hyperwave

It allows you to build full-SSR apps with Tailwind and JSX, has support for SQLite and HTMX, and is in general a great return to how web dev used to be / should be.

Somewhat yes, I didn't try it yet, but a few things don't add up then:

Why enable those heavy, performance crippling post processing filters by default?

From what I can find in this comment section, and I guess this has to be taken with a grain of salt, performance doesn't scale. It seems we max out at 50fps on a beefy 13th gen Intel with the fastest GPU available, but then there's a couple comments with mid-range hardware where performance is nearly identical.
Some people call Hacker News the "Orange Site", but of course that's way too fruit-centric, so we shouldn't call it that -- the website banner is not actually a citrus fruit at all!

Or can we just accept that orange-the-color is a fundamentally different idea than orange-the-fruit, despite the fact that the former is named after the latter? Can we accept that "earth" can simply refer to the material that makes up the hard surface layer of a planet, as a different idea than "Earth" the planet after which it's named? Is that OK? Do we really need to come up with a new word for "Solar Power" if the power comes from a light source other than our own sun? Can we call the large-scale geoengineering of Mars "terraforming", or must we insist that it's "marsaforming" (and not "geoengineering", but "marsoengineering")? Can we call something "romantic" even if it isn't actually written in Latin ("from Medieval Latin rōmānicē, Vulgar Latin rōmānicē (“in the Roman language”, adverb"))? Is that OK with everyone?

It's a damn earthquake.
Perhaps it is limited by something other than the GPU after 50fps. It could be CPU bound at that point?

One of the big sources of new runestone discoveries in Sweden is "load bearing part of someone's basement" (and that similarly some amount of the Acropolis turns up as having been used as construction material.)
Vercel makes most of its revenue through its PaaS platform - which supports NextJS first-class, and is their recommend solution for hosting NextJS apps.
I try to do runtime checks for my embedded code. Because as I like to say there isn't anyone to press F5 when something barfs.

Bigger issue for me is what to do when a run time check fails. Sometimes there is nothing to be done but to log the error and reset. Other times, you log the error, clean up and keep going. Which why I dislike rust's run time checks which panic without letting the program try to recover.
I think I'll be taking a step back from React/Next.js for the foreseeable future. I feel fortunate in that, for most of my projects, I can make architectural decisions such as this. Things took a turn with hooks (I have a feeling that's the general consensus, too). The nail in the coffin (at least for me) was React Server Components.

I gotta admit that its been liberating working outside the javascript/react realm. Using Go + HTMX + [insert tool here] has been a fairly easy transition. Is it a 1:1 replacement? No. Does it solve most of my use cases whilst providing a better developer experience? Absolutely.

I'm not trying to hate on React here. I just think its time to stop and ask ourselves "is this REALLY the best idea/tool for xyz?".
Yeah I moved out of frontend work for the backend. Backend work is a series of black boxes. You can make a million mistakes and it won't necessarily be an issue. With the frontend your work is exposed for everyone to see and critique. Not only that, but it's very hard to actually compartmentalize changes. A component that looks fine in isolation might be completely out of place in a larger peice. I frequently found myself near panicking that I didn't mess something up before launch because it was nearly impossible to handle all cases that we cared about through tests. Of course we would hire people to run through the site once before launch. But what about after we fix all the bugs? Did we introduce new ones after fixing the old? Are all of our translations stoll appropriate? Where they ever?

While I don't do frontend work, I still push UX and management to minimize the surface area and complexity of the frontend. Keep to simple html elements, flowing top to bottom with minimal css, etc.
Chinese or any other state doesn't mean it's bad. What is bad is piping stuff into bash even if the source 100 percent trusted.
React is a pretty narrow framework. It focuses on the components and doesn't really dictate how your app should be structured, which is part of why it's been successful: you can adopt it gradually and replace pieces of an existing app with it, until eventually your whole app is React.

Next.js is a framework built on top of React. It has a more defined structure for things like routing, and it provides useful tools for server-side rendering. It is definitely used in production by major companies and not just by "barely funded startups."

Vercel makes Next, among other popular JS and serverless offerings, and they offer various managed hosting services. I don't use Vercel's paid offerings, but they strike me as operating in the Heroku space, where they make it easy to get a simple app off the ground.
Correct. Same price and limits. It’s just making integrating it into Vercel. So you can get Postgres/Redis/object storage and more with your frontend, in one bill.
Was that the reason? I never heard what the reason was. It was a very abrupt departure for sure.

To be spending a lot of time working in the rainforest in Peru where logging (legal and illegal) is everywhere, you can't trace properly. Certificates are easy to forge, the entire pipeline is pen and paper. How can you tell once the legal wood and the illegal wood are in a container which is which? You can't.

So many people here are outraged, how many of you are supporting on the ground teams protecting rainforests?

If you care, do your research, support causes like https://www.junglekeepers.org (disclaimer here; that is the one I know, work for and support) and don't use exotic woods.
Looking at this i am so happy that i am still using my own component framework. In combination with a nice bundler like parceljs only 100kb for an entire frontend application. Less than 10ms to render a webapp. No trillions of layers. Just a page/render engine and small components like panels, buttons etc.
Why would you need all these fancy provided by next and other frameworks? In the end you constantly face limitations and performance issues.
Honestly that’s the reason I stayed in backend work. Frontend seemed to be too much like the English language- more exceptions than rules, only changing nearly constantly.

I’m grateful to those who have the patience and skill for it.
There's a huge amount of truth in what you say. Hence I used the
pejorative "Hoi Polloi".

But you can probably tell I once worked for the BBC. And what might
look like elitism (of the kind I wouldn't apologise for) is really
hope for wider humanity in spite of the Rupert Murdock effect, in
spite of a concerted 50 year assault on education, and in spite of the
misappropriation of the internet as a giant firehose for diarrhoea.
The West's self-devouring and terminal-stage enshitification is quite
the spectacle.

So when we look at "the people" and say this or that is "what they
want", something recoils inside me. Do we know that? A perpetual cycle
where people know what they like and they like what they know is not a
stasis or fact of the world but a precarious place of comfortable
mediocrity we've come to be. A local minima. There are other
places. Cultures have flourished. And sometimes they wane.

The Internet (big I) was more than just a lot of wires, it was an
idea. Maybe some fragments of that idea are still alive, I don't know.
