I agree. SSR that hydrates to an SPA is a pain in the butt and not necessary most of the time. This is why I favor something like Astro for websites... I can drop in a react embed when I need to. It's just a right-tool-for-the-right-job situation imo.

The problem is he's confidently wrong in believing Single Page Applications are about page transitions. Not at all. It's more about keeping state and an application-like experience. Like playing a song on spotify and changing to the search page and the song keeps playing... that type of thing.

Recently tried it. Couldn't find one with a high enough PPI for my liking.

Ended up with two vertical 4k monitors. Side bonus: I can put my web cam dead center in front of me.

I feel like data privacy is always the last throe of a company before hanging it up. I hope that's not the case with Mozilla. Not a big enough market cares about data privacy to make it a primary marketing message, unfortunately.

Blast from the past. I was a lead ColdFusion developer for almost a decade. Good times. When I rearchitected the booking engine for all of the Disney Parks, I based the design on Fusebox, a popular ColdFusion framework at the time. It's still in use today.

Real question: Could machine learning be used to identify these sites to a high degree of accuracy, with crowd sourced human moderation denying the false positives to help further train it?

Disclaimer: I know very little about machine learning.

I can relate. I have 25 years of experience as a senior and lead frontend developer, with some management experience.

I've applied at over 80 roles. I've received 35ish rejections and about 18 interviews. 4 put me through to final interviews and chose someone else despite liking me more, I was told. (one person had a smidge of java experience, one was a female and they needed a diversity hire, etc)

But not causation.

There's also a strong correlation between homeless people and parking garage density.

Housing prices are high where there are people. People are homeless where there are people. It comes with the territory. Throw in amazing weather and states bussing their homeless to CA and it becomes a very attractive proposition for someone without a home.

If there was a correlation then sending the homeless to Arkansas would solve the problem, but it wouldn't. They'd just be homeless in the woods.

I don't care anymore. Bus them out to the desert. Set up camp there. Provide food and busses into town for those with interviews and jobs. I really don't care, just get them out of the damn cities. I've seen too many people shit in the bushes or just peeing up against a building. Building tent cities on the beach and enjoyable areas, etc. I. Don't. Care. Get rid of them. I left California for this reason and housing costs.

YES, let the fascism wash over us. More profit. Forget the people and the polar bears. As long as the imaginary bank account number grows and grows and we're beating the other rich people, none of that stuff matters. We're building a rocketship anyways and we won't be here much longer. We'll leave them all gasping for air in the wake of our plumage. Yesssss Bezos Yes.

It's not necessarily about getting help. For me, at least, it's about speed. It can look things up faster than I can. I can copy/paste/modify the results pretty quickly and every now and then it surprises me with a solution I hadn't thought of.

I also agree. I thought it was a joke. Once I got to the logos I was sure it was a joke.
