React was ruined from the moment they abandoned class components and introduced hooks. Vercel is just continuing the trend of hype against common sense.

You are probably a Javascript dev, not doing typescript? Classes were horrible to type for, especially when you tried higher-order components. Hooks removed so much clutter and friction and allows pretty well-typed components and higher order functions (i.e. hooks that return components).

I just don't understand this take, every time I hear it I wonder if people just haven't spent the time to adjust their mental model.

Hooks are IMO the best thing that happened to react.

I have spent more time than I wished for on React debugging tools, and useXXXX spaghetti calls.

You can write spaghetti with class components, too. Doesn't sound like a hooks issue to me.

I certainly can, but somehow it cooler to write lambdas upon lambdas, and other Haskellisms when using hooks.

Spot on, incredible how OOP hate can mess up a framework.

Vercel, the only thing they have going for the app model mess, are the partnerships with SaaS vendors that make them the must go tooling.

However this will eventually come to an end.

It wasn't OOP hate, it was hatred of splitting functionality across a number of methods rather than putting it in a single (reusable, sharable!) hook and having your component consume it.

Yeah, because now is so much better....

I only touch React now, because of SaaS partnerships with Vercel.

These chatbot and google login are my most hated feature of current web.

Obviously it just a script embedded in the page, so it has not actual place in the design. So the effect, especially on mobile, is this dance of starting to read a page, have it obscured by annoying popups, and trying (and failing) to close the popup with the hidden 12x12 pixels x button.

Just like the entire ads market, it’s all forgery to drive up clicks so owners can say to the clients that there is interaction.

Don’t get me started on the recent YouTube ads on iPad that place a banner that sits on top of the video, hiding subtitles, and closing it is behind a menu that requires you to be a brain surgeon specialist in order to interact with, instead of clicking the ad itself. I currently have 15 tabs in safari for ads that I inadvertently clicked.

Whoda thunkit that

- blurring the lines between client code and server code

- creating a brand new protocol for communication between trusted and untrusted actors

- and with all of that allow the protocol to serialize code and not just primitives

Would be a tremendously stupid idea. And for what? To lock developers further into the react ecosystem. What a shitshow react continues to be.

It was a clear bait and switch scam, that is still going on.

Will this work only with scannable codes? Or with NFC as well?

It failed

That’s great, now do kingdom hearts

Holy shit

A bit longer, but a classic:

I can’t believe I watched all that, and KH3. I still understand nothing.

Wow, there are no words. You would rather live in Tehran or Tel Aviv?

Preferably neither, but anywhere is better than Israel. Who would want to live in a genocidal apartheid state? Iran was a democracy before US and UK intervention, perhaps they will be again when they win the illegal war against them.

Anywhere? North Korea? Sudan? Houthi’s Yemen? The hyperbole broke the charts…

I’m trying to understand from the video why this is better, it looks like a normal high resolution textures with precooked shadow maps.

It has no dynamic lighting or effects, which makes the video look like a high quality game from 2006.

dynamic objects are still largely unsolved problem, I just tried to approach it in this demo. also this particular place doesn't have reflective surfaces, but technology supports it - check for example this splat https://superspl.at/scene/ff1d0393 or this one https://superspl.at/scene/6c822f84

This is better, but I think that a demo with more reflections and radiosity would be much more impressive

No! I had this machine, the skeleton is made of iron (the black colored parts), it completely rusted away for me in a couple of years. Very bad design decision on Rancilio.

100% stainless steel or bust.

Yeah, that corner rust is a pita. They all do it. I’d put rust converter on it.

“They all do it” - all rancilio silva, not every coffee machine.

Thought to add that context for people unfamiliar with coffee machines.

Good point.

It’s definitely a weak spot. I know people who have for the base chromed or similar to stop this.

Weird they didn’t address it in the later models.

Waking up earlier makes you sleep earlier. Gotcha.
