Remix is a server-side rendering framework focused on pre-SPA web fundamentals like progressive enhancement and minimizing downloading and evaluating JavaScript and CSS assets for lighter, faster pages.
Edit: It does in-fact load a JSON payload along with client-side routing as well if you click to view comments. But then if you use browser refresh, it renders as a traditional server-side request. So true to its name, Remix is a blend of both approaches, playing on the strengths of each.
Yes, I should have mentioned that. Remix and Next remove the initial loading that SPAs seem to be known for, where the page is rendered but then it fetches again to actually get the content. I always hated that and was trying to find workarounds years ago for Angular because while loading JSON content is great for subsequent requests, it seemed so backwards to deliver the entire app over HTTP and then just make another HTTP request to fetch the content while the user looks at a loading screen, rather than doing it all in one step.
Halo Combat Evolved is how I got into software development. It only had LAN multiplayer, but tunneling software on your PC enabled you to play over the internet. That blew my mind in high school and I got heavily involved in the community, writing mIRC scripts, chat bots, forum plugins, application skins, and so much more.
Man I spent endless hours playing and coding back then. But I never could get into the later Halos. The gameplay was so drastically different. The CE pistol was the ultimate weapon. It was always available and had the potential to bail you out of any scenario. But you can’t solely rely on it to win competitive games. Powerup timing is king. Everyone knew the exact second overshield/rockets would spawn, so there was a natural flow to the maps as teams pushed to gain these items. Halo 2 and beyond removed all of this.
Some time ago I dealt with this exact bug for an e-commerce site with millions of requests per day, and it was also Rails + Unicorn.
ANY time ruby 1.8 raised a timeout, it was silently swallowed, and Unicorn returned the adjacent request session_id. We had to constantly defend against any code that might hit the native timeout.
I noticed your personal website mentions building products with React Native, but in this thread you mentioned Gentle was built with Flutter.
It's been a few years since I took a serious look at mobile, and after trying out NativeScript and React Native then, I ended up just wrapping web views. The bar for app experiences is much higher now, and it sounds like you have been able to iterate quickly without compromising quality. Will Flutter be your tool moving forward? Do you give it the upper hand over RN? Or is the difference just personal taste?
My impression is that my use of Flutter has been successful (especially in an iOS build) because of my heavy use of custom-designed components. There are packages built by the Flutter team to mimic native behavior, but they aren't good enough in my opinion. I'd go with react native if you want something that feels (at least on iOS) native.
The biggest plus for Flutter in my opinion is its great animation system. It's difficult to learn, but it makes things that would have been near-impossible in react native relatively straightforward.
I'd use Flutter again for sure. I'd rate it like an 8/10?
More likely from developers who hate to identify as developers because developers like to focus on development problems without empathy for the end result.
I have kids and no doubt they have reinvigorated the journey of life. Watching them grow and learn and experience things for the first time brings back that taste of life that grows stale with age.
But before you have kids, it is more important to find a committed partner. There is nothing that will wreak havoc more on your life than a broken family. If you ever hear a parent regret having kids, you can bet there was trouble with their partner.
I use UTM to run Debian 11 ARM. The update-binfmts command is absolutely magical, docker images will happily run both arm and x86 binaries.
Battery lasts all day and the machine stays ice-cold.
