My Doritos will never be the same

I mean, it just totally depends on the application. It does add complexity, sure.

Turbo, stimulus, have their own pitfalls. I have worked with them a fair amount and have ran into headaches. Also, React has a massive community / ecosystem of ready made components, plugins, tutorials, etc. Turbo and stimulus are getting better on that front, but it is nowhere close, and many situations/patterns you have to figure out yourself.

Theres weird hate on React from a portion of the rails community that seems unwarranted. Probably because of some of DHH's commentary.

Not shocking.

What about Rails and Svelte? While many people are doing things with full stack Rails, there are just as many using Rails (whether as a monolith or separate backend from frontend deployments) with modern JS.

Actually, in recent Rails versions the mistakes of Webpacker have been replaced with much more flexible gems for building frontend assets with esbuild, vite, or any other build tool.

This gives the ability to seamlessly blend the nice pre packaged rails ecosystem with the nice ecosystem of react components or other modern frontend tooling most people are using.

I close this comment with mentioning: you still may not need all of that new stuff! What does your app actually do?

Friends plural is slightly worrisome, but we're they qualified for the positions?

I personally love the idea of recruiting friends and working alongside them. Obviously I could see this going both ways, but given that everyone is qualified I don't see the problem.

Did you not watch the Netflix documentary? The last episodes contained many non-obviously-sane conversations. Especially the one where he was talking to bankers at one of their vacation homes.

I think if you follow along with Kanye, it is obvious it is beyond normal celebrity "insanity". I feel bad for him because I really grew up listening to his music and still have a soft spot in my heart for him, but he has some incredible delusions it would seem in the last 5-10 years.

My only complaints with the new LOTR and Game of Thrones shows is that they seem to be rushing through the story. Part of the appeal of the originals (movies... series.. respectively) is that they feel like more of a "quest" or long adventure, with side stories and character development. Obviously this made for longer content and it took years for GoT to finish, as well as LOTR being longer movies (especially with the extended cuts).

These new series seem to jump around time and traveling much quicker. Overall, I still am enjoying them though and don't understand a lot of the internet criticism.

I feel like you didn't read the Wikipedia? Where are you getting your take.

To be honest, Pandora has served that role for me over the years. I am always amazed to look back at my Pandora station history to see how it has evolved into different streams/genres, all stimulated from hearing new music through a Pandora channel, and then starting a new station after I liked it. This has created a web of new music I wouldn't have sought out otherwise.

Obviously, I do think that a human DJ may perform this role better in some cases/genres though.

It was Neopets, for me

I may spend 100-200 a year on Valorant. However, I am getting way more per hour value out of it than say, a 50 - 60$ single player game that I quit after a single play through. Or worse, the 50-60$ AAA titles that popup every few years, get a swarm of players in the first few months, then die off as the ADHD Twitch community moves to something else.

I would love more "foolish" infrastructure projects in my area. In my state/city, We are dealing with increasing flooding, overcrowded roads, and could always use more green space.

I get your sentiment, but the government could be using that money in positive ways that don't involve spinning up whole new organizations

Unfortunately in practice, there is so much ruby/rails magic going on that most Rails projects end up in terrible shape.

It's kind of a catch-22, and tons of companies have overcome it, but rails by far has the "least long term maintainable" defaults. Good for quick prototypes/small teams but bad for large and scaling teams

Yea but you:

a) can't allow "vote to kick" from the opposing team in a competitive environment. That has obvious abuse written all over it, either intentionally or unintentionally (opposing team is losing or opposing player is legit good but they think he is cheating) b) when you allow vote kicking of "same team only", like CSGO, there is a lot of grief type of harassing where parties of players (like a 3 queue) can vote kick teammates just for general griefing reasons, intentionally deranking, and the like.

This is crazy but, I have had the exact same symptoms recently. At night, when laying on my stomach like I have slept my whole life, my hands start tingling like they are losing circulation. This is when flat beside my body.

Abuse usually...

Checkout logitechs low profile mechanical gaming keyboard, the tkl is rather pricey but I much prefer it

I also quite enjoyed D2R on the Switch. Controller mapping worked VERY well, and it was a great mindless addiction for a month or two after release.

Yes, there were some annoying server problems, but the game was great and still felt fresh even though it was a remake. I have stopped playing now (not trying to be on that eternal grind...) but overall thought it was pulled off MUCH better than the WC3 remaster.

Good stuff. I have lived with ADHD as long as I remember. Going on and off prescriptions.

Adult ADHD has mostly revolved around depression/mood swing cycles of hyper focus and motivation (new interesting project/work, new job) and procrastination, lack of focus, and depression caused by that feeling of know I should be doing X but not being able to bring myself to.

I have some coping techniques and it isn't something I think about all the time. The worst thing about it is that while prescriptions are effective, they are not pleasant and the tolerance you build to them is even worse. I try to balance them (threshold dosages, only using when I really need it) with other techniques.

chemicals affect your brain in ways that simulate bizarre sensory input

Well yea... Duh? No one would disagree with that I suspect.

I think the point is that we can work backwards from these changes to better understand either a) how the brain works and an experience is perceived and/or b) the possibility that what we perceive normally is not the entire experience (to your second possibility)

In both cases obviously these are chemically induced changes/observations at their core. Doesn't take away from their novelty and certainly should be taken more seriously scientifically imo. Ofc it will land in the realm of psurdoscience otherwise.

One of Logitech's brands (Ultimate Ears) makes an "at home" semi-custom molding eartip for their true wireless earbuds. The "UE Fits". I bought a pair, honestly was super comfortable, they are molded via a UV light in the earbud in a one time setup process. I went with another pair of wireless earbuds for other features, but thinking back I kind of miss them already.

But, would be cool if a company made a product that let you make semi-custom earbud tips like this for a variety of different earbuds -- without requiring ACTUAL ear molding and extended process of true custom IEMs. Sorta like the comply foam/spinfit aftermarket tips.

I wish a lot of the React conversation would focus in on WHY it is so popular even for apps it shouldn't be.

In my mind the mental model shift towards completely modular components including their CSS(in JS), behavior and Dom/html(jsx) is just a very pleasant front end development model.

Its hard to go back to the old ways once you have experienced the productivity of React. I say this while obviously acknowledging dealing with the tooling ecosystem can be frustrating at times.

It still is problematic if you use third party plugins / saas vendors.

Not all. But many. Things like zendesk integrations for example. YMMV

Ditto. I think if you are an experienced web app dev, understand the pros and cons of something like Stimulus, and set out from the beginning of your project to make PRODUCT decisions within the constraints of something like Stimulus and being more SSR. Then it is a great tool.

Anything more complicated though, and you are better off with Vue, React, Etc

Further, you will then understand why you need a framework like React should your project become complicated enough on the frontend.

And you know, we have a vaccine for yearly flus

Why can't we look at JavaScript as the solution instead of as the workaround

Honestly stimulus is great if you have constraints around what you want to do with your JavaScript. However after working with it in a larger application, it is quickly obvious that more complex tasks are made extra hard and that lack of opinion turns into a wild west of different implementation patterns. When you start trying to get multiple stimulus controllers talking together.... Good luck.

Also even modern turbolinks suffers from a lot of headaches interacting with third party libraries. It isn't as bad as it was but it isn't great.
