does anyone who streams mock JS/React interviews want to do one with me? it sounds like it could be fun because either i answer it very well or i bomb it and then everyone can laugh at my expense (and maybe teach me the solution). also interesting to discuss questions after
i wanted to do a series like this before but i’m too lazy to produce anything on youtube myself
i have three gigs already. i’m going to do an Interview Tour muhahhaah
first stop on the Interview Tour: @benawad is grilling me on let vs const, centering a div, and a bit of computer science
There’s a lot of interest in Server Components, and our alpha demos have been getting some closer attention. There are two demos I’ve seen so far (one is ours), so I wrote about known issues with both. I hope this will be helpful for future comparisons.
it’s hard to disagree with anything here. this doesn’t mean it’ll die soon though: hype cycles aren’t rational, and a worse architecture that pulls people in for one reason or another can definitely take off for a while
i think it’s also true that there’s something irresistible about coding against a “universe of wallets”. payments were always an afterthought, something you “tack on”, and for somebody coding them directly i imagine it’s hard to go back to wanting to use intermediaries.
the architecture comparison does look like a nightmare from the first glance. i can’t deny though that it’s also how people compared react apps to php/rails. but client side (when done well) improved ux (faster updates) and dx (fast feedback loop); this does neither.
“how does consciousness compose” is imo one of the most interesting questions ever. very subjective though — by definition (for each part lol). split brain experiments may give some partial answers but i think we won’t know much until connecting brains.
“what it’s like to be a bat” but for two people. if you and i are directly connected with high bandwidth, is it “you” and “i” experiencing qualia? is there a new “you-and-i”?
“because we separate like ripples on a blank shore”
and isn’t not being connected a special case of being connected with very low bandwidth? if “you-and-i” emerges, then how do you determine at which point it emerges? it must be continuous, not discrete. are we drops of the same spring accidentally condensing in isolated bubbles?
historians, what was the closest thing to a physical twitter? a place for short notes, where you can express “i adored this one”. surely this happened many times and in many forms since the written word
You are writing a library. An evil genius steals all your library’s code somehow (you can’t retrieve it) and offers you a choice. You can either recover all your library’s implementation code, or all of your library’s tests, but you may not have both. What do you recover?
You are writing an application. An evil genius steals all your app’s code somehow (you can’t retrieve it) and offers you a choice. You can either recover all your app’s implementation code, or all of your app’s tests, but you may not have both. What do you recover?
