That bright young boot camp grad telling you to rewrite your functional WordPress system in "RSC"? Straight-up liability.
Go make them do a bake off of a simple blog, or an analysis of your users by device class. Do not let them code until they get regrounded.

Ok!
Then consider this the world's highest profile example of why Next.js is a danger to your team and your business. If the grey lady can't figure out how to lazy load images using Next with less than 1.2MB of JS, why do you think your midsize e-commerce site will fare better?

The "this site is faster in the app" prompts have the benefit of truth *because they broke the website with React*

Huge, huge, huge kudos to @eleventy for updating their quickstart CLI usage for Mac *and* Windows.
Literally (ok, almost literally) NO ONE ELSE cares to do this in tech and it bites Windows folks all the time.
This should be the norm, not the exception.

Opinion: "If Trump voters had been attacked, intimidated and defrauded, then there might be reason to make the comparison with 1876… as we know from actual litigation carried out over two months, there was no fraud…
What Vance calls the “legitimate grievances” of the Jan. 6 rioters were actually sour grapes. They lost, they did not like it, and they were determined to change the outcome by any means necessary. There’s no reason any of us should respect their tantrum."

I've been doing web performance work for a number of years now and I've seen over and over that if there is one development pattern that will make or break your site's delivery performance: it's whether you serve useful HTML upfront, or you serve un-useful HTML upfront and populate it long after that using client-side code.
If you're doing the latter (and many popular sites are!), that's often the most important thing you can change to improve your website's delivery performance.

(MFA requires that users type in a one-time temporary code in addition to a username and password, making accounts that use MFA more secure.)”

@jmcrookston It's worse than that. As the temperature increases, even a young healthy body can't sweat fast enough to keep cool. Those of us who no longer fit in that category have to be even more careful. What's happening in India is a disaster, and that is coming soon to a city near you.

Do you consciously apply show rather than tell in your writing?The advice to "show, don't tell" in genre fic was a corrective from the pulp era, which was renowned for mind-numbingly pointless lectures, frequently started by a cardboard cut-out character saying "tell me, professor …"
I try to show, but if I need an infodump I will infodump ruthlessly, because sometimes a bald paragraph of explanation can do the work of a thousand pages. Right tool for the job, etc.

Worse? It’s possible to use computers for every aspect of your life and not really understand much about them at all. This can lead to category errors (the way people discuss AI) and failures to recognize old con games when dressed up in digital clothes. eg “social media” becomes a novel threat rather than an old problem in a new context.
Unscrupulous men are treated like wizards even though we all know magic isn’t real.

struggling w properly learning Rust in depth to write a couple of servers/services, took a step back & re-wrote a quick version of one in D, stared at both sets of code for a while… now re-thinking original commitment/plan to build all the servers/services in Rust first. code in D seems just so damned more *readable* & easy to crank out & then incrementally modify…
time to take a walk & think about beginnings vs goals, & about how the perfect sometimes can be the enemy of the good

All right, time for another fun student project! Starting around 12:00...12:30 UTC, we will be QRV testing our morse oscillators on 40m, just below the WSPR frequency at 7038 kHz.
Power will be QRPP, around 300 mW, but friends in neighboring countries might be able to pick us up :)
Listen for my call DK3HD, DL0WH or DK4BX
