Their solution is graphql, but I believe that the backend should have data for each component ready.

Example social network.

  /api/pagedata/FrontPage
returns a big ass query result, all posts with comments, comment count and reactions, all the data you would ever want in your front page.
  /api/pagedata/UserProfilePage
returns all the relevant data regarding the user's profile page.

Yes, if you change or extend a certain page, you will have to change the backend query. If you have 2 different teams for frontend and backend that's not straightforward, so there should be something where the frontend team writes the detailed expected json response and the backend team transforms that into queries. Or, let's be real, the queries get generated. One could even imagine a middleware that translates expected json to graphql queries.

Why not directly graphql? Because it's a major pain in the ass, because of relay. Graphql is Facebook. And instead of having the simple structure you can easily query, they added this stupid node relay structure which makes everything overly complicated.

I could imagine a Go backend or Rust where you have a comment with the expected JSON, and you type go generate and boom generated queries with search and pagination.

Now it's also 3 videos in 90 days you have to publish in order to be eligible for monetization. So you can't have passive income at YouTube, you have to create a new video each month.

3000 watched hours or 3 million shorts views lol.

They want only the cream.

But dethroning the king would need an ad delivery solution, which in turn requires an affordable payment solution.

And you would need to keep it civil, because now, if you're in the EU are liable for what people upload. And then, thanks to the DSA, you have to monitor "wrong speak". How is anyone supposed to bring up a competitor with those blockers?

TBH HN is a milder Reddit but it flows on the same river.

Whenever you create an unpopular post your karma goes down. I have no adblocked the karma display because I will not be judged for my posts. Should I get shadow banned I'll create a new account.

Why HN? Being an old Isonews member I like the orange. And even if the quality has degraded there are still some interesting posts here. I'm also not a "slashdot" I'm a "hacker", well I don't call myself hacker but commonly hacker is synonymous for creator, developer, entrepreneur. Slashdot never mattered in my world. The internet is a tool, a means to and end, not the center of my life. I don't even remember when I first stumbled upon HN. Was it on Google+? I miss Google+ and the spirit and people it had. I felt right at home. Unlike Facebook where is never really fit in. A platform for consumers and their producers but more consumers who have no clue about the creative spirit. How I despise Facebook. Then Google+ became more like it instead of continuing with doing its own thing. The final UI changes made it as terrible as Facebook. The post was the main attraction and comments and discussions were no longer wanted. And when it died there was Reddit which was and still is the worst Troll-infested... platform of stupid. And there was HN, which I always viewed as being too much ivory tower/first world problems, but compared it has the most interesting topics. Twitter then is a platform for the permanently "how dare you" crowd. Someone always has something to bitch about. And while many seem to like it, I never could, smartphone stupidity.

And HN then, old school, low effort design. Not the best input methods. But interesting enough and more positive than reading mainstream news, which in the last 2 years and nowadays especially is unbearable. That's also why I strongly react when I see a propaganda post for either side of the war, which doesn't really concern me. Idc about it. It's all lies anyway. What's the relevance for a IT tech news site? None. Ok if it gets IT techy but a ship sinking? idgaf. If you ask me, the Ukraine is being used so the "west" can sell weapons. 1000 million € loan and more from Germany alone... anyhow not on topic.

HN without karma would be an improvement. I will not change my ways or truth just because someone with a larger pot thinks they have more power or the right to judge.

Why is there no Google+ replacement? A social network for devs, artists, businessmen, but not big businesses, where you can stay up to date on the latest in tech and directly talk to people without having to "friend" them and where you're not judged and censored via "karma". Not owned by big tech. Where the focus in on discussion and meeting people and not POST BIG comment small but all equal.

I hear you. I'm self taught. I was always the go to guy when there was a problem. I had no one I could ask. Teachers asked me. But no one hired me. So I became self employed. I wonder how much better I would've done if I actually went studying and had a mentor. But I was always on the frontier, always. I also fixed so many bad student projects, aka where someone would hire a student for cheap and the student would abandon the project and I had to step in to finish it. Ah well it is what it is. Nowadays I feel like an outsider, probably because I am. Still being self employed but my projects crashed and income is way below sustainable. So either create something new, but I'm getting old and tired and bored, or find a job, but I'm too used to the comfort of working when I feel like it and not being on a clock. Anyhow I digress and if I had a proper teacher in my young years, how much better could I have done. I'd imagine an increased learning speed of factor at least 5 if not 10. Also not studying means not knowing the language e.g. log(o) or w/e. I never knew what "scalar" meant when I read it, but I knew without having a label "scalar". etc etc

None, ever. I never subscribe to newsletters. I hate spam. I subscribed to newsletters in the past to only regret my decision because it was used to funnel spam/ads and annoy me with meaningless updates.

I would appreciate a common spec where packages could ping new releases, something like rss I could then subscribe to and get new release notifications with a changelog.

But mail is something where I don't want spam. Email is for important messages and invoices. I'm trying to keep that space clean.

Idk if hn is psychic but I just thought how great it could be if I could use my workstation in the next room as a host for writing code on my phone. Because I can take my phone where I'm comfortable and hold it where I please and lay on the sofa, relaxed as opposed to sitting on a chair where blood flow to my feet is semi cut off. (How I would love one of those walk-apparatuses Linus Torvalds has).

So sorry no answer, but also interested.

I remember there were a few online code editors, but trust is an issue and they cost extra.

The way you intend to use it though... I have done it in my PHP days, long ago. It's not good practice. Version control systems are a good invention, even if you sometimes just need a quick fix. Edit locally, push to repo, auto build or manually.

On the side, what I love about this page is that there is no styling, no share this, no comments, no cookie banners or similar "paywalls", no other distractions. Just content.

It's so refreshing.

I don't see a problem in trade with Russia. We certainly don't have the moral high ground, also trade is good for peace and living standards.

React v18.0 4 years ago

Congratulations, but to me React is like Rust. Something I always wanted to get into but found better alternatives. In the react case Vue wins for me and in the Rust case it's Go.

I really tried, time and time again to like it and write something with it, but Vue just offers the better libraries. Altough with the recent 2 to 3 upgrade and pinia instead of vuex I'm starting to get dissatisfied with the "no single proper way" of Vue. Vuex-orm being the best frontend REST wired ORM, nothing comes close to ease of use and setup. Meanwhile react has what? Complicated redux, or is that even a thing anymore? Idk, which I would. Redux the boilerplate abomination. That's exactly what drove me away from Angular. But I'm starting to rant again. And react has even more of the "not a single proper way". Yeah I know, nextjs the magic bullet, but what if you don't agree with pretty much everything about it, starting with routing.

Obviously the paying to watch a movie concept is outdated. I always wondered who pays for a streaming service when you can't watch the movies or series once your subscription expires.

Man if a blog post like this makes the 2nd page I wonder what a proper rant would do. Like I used to write them and always get banned on Steam forums, because criticism = lost revenue and we can't have that. My Steam account was banned so often that the next ban will last 2 years. And I wasn't even offensive or insulting. Meanwhile Valve did get a slight grip or maybe I have changed? Whatever the case it has lead me to not spend money on their platform and in general. If it's a b2p game I pirate like I always have. Because if you want my money you will not silence my opinion and feedback of your game. And you will not restrict resale of the games I bought. Despite court ruling that Steam has to open up and enable resale of licenses, shit all has happened. And they're not the only platform where it's not possible to do so. So good job game industry - you have lost a paying customer for good.

Valve's Steam is extra predatory and anti consumer. A little story. Back in the day I was very active at the game Meridian 59, the 1st MMORPG. But not on the official side, on the reverse engineering side. Later when it got abandoned by 3do a compiled server exe leaked along with resources and configuration. We learned a lot from that, wrote tools, created new art, etc. My point is I knew a lot about the software, so I posted on Valve Steam's Meridian 59 forum with detailed knowledge about something only someone familiar with the software could know, which lead to a ban, because someone was apparently harassing the moderator there and he thought I was him. So I was unjustly banned because the moderator saw ghosts where none were and I appealed to Valve. The response was "be that as it may there's nothing we will do about it". So the case was clearly in my favor but Valve hands all power to the forum moderators. And the rule like dictators. One especially terrible Dictator is SamBC terror moderating 2k affiliated forums. If you write anything negative about a game of theirs and see all the paid white knights jumping in to defend the company sales and you call them out for what they are you will get banned. Accumulate a few bans and you will get an account ban. But to finish the story, I then contacted the moderator outside the game and the ban was lifted, not by Valve but by him. That didn't change the fact though that it counted as 1 ban point towards an account ban, which eventually lead to a 1 year ban on Steam.

I'm 47 years old now and I will not be silenced or told what to write especially if what I write is not offensive.

I once got a ban for disagreeing with the choice of a female protagonist in the "For Honor" game, because it's so far from historical facts that I cringed every time I tried to play the game. When something is so wrong that it upsets me I have to write about it. And the moderators there didn't like that I returned to the thread and continued to write about how historically inaccurate it was and how unrealistic this was. Nope can't have someone voicing their opinion and literally telling them what a shitshow their produced. That's bad for business and must be banned.

I for one am done with buying games and you can thank your overzealous moderators for that, game industry.
