If you check the docs for how to create a react app the first thing they recommend is to use next.js.

I worked for a court and a judge asked me to make a website with a button that would show a green circle 95% of the time and a red circle 5% of the time. I didn't ask what it was used for.

Toonami Aftermath is very similar to this, but for late 90s/early 2000s.

I have a similar workflow. I’m the only programmer in my office and just use git to make my life easier.

If you have to have a full time I would find one that has a lot of downtime so you can work on other things while on the clock.
Re:Ask HN: Did anyone here program for the first time in college?
on Tuesday July 04, 2023 @04:43PM (#36592290)
Yes, I was always interested in computers and video games but never thought to try programming until looking at a list of careers and deciding to study CS.
The first language I learned was Java. It’s one of my least favorite languages now but I think it was good enough to learn the fundamentals.

Yes. It was the first web language I learned and I haven't had a reason to switch to something else. I tried learning nodeJS and django but I didn't like how much setup was required to get a page up.
Re:Ask HN: How did you find yourself on HN?

I think I saw someone mention HN in a reddit comment about 10 years ago.
Re:Ask HN: How to get into/keep up with eSports?
on Monday July 18, 2022 @09:48PM (#32146548)
I follow Smash Brothers Melee through Reddit, Twitch channels of top players, and a Discord server for local tournaments near me. I’m guessing you can do this for Fifa too.

Re:Ask HN: How should one get into Linux kernel development?
on Thursday July 08, 2021 @04:15PM (#27777072)
I tried doing this a couple years ago. You should download the source and read the docs. If I remember correctly noobs are recommended to make improvements in drivers/staging. There are "TODO" files with things that need to be done. There is a good post about "wanting to contribute" that used to be at the top of the kernelnewbies IRC channel you can read.
Re:Ask HN: Experiences with VDI-like platforms, but used by developers
on Wednesday July 07, 2021 @04:21PM (#27765359)
I don't work for a tech company, but my job "requires" employees to use VMWare for everything. I try as hard as I can to avoid using the VDI because it is so slow.
I have to request for software to be installed, and our policy is to only install software on the VDI.
Re:Ask HN: What other online communities are you part of?
on Wednesday July 07, 2021 @04:03PM (#27765189)
I spend a lot of time on Discord, Twitch, and 4chan. I also play MMORPGs (World of Warcraft Classic, Oldschool Runescape).
I would not recommend this lifestyle.

I'm not sure about emacs, but I don't think there is anything wrong with teaching vim to new programmers. I learned it along with Java in my first programming course. I think it should be presented as an option along with other editors, though.

After checking "I am an advanced user" you will see a grid like the first image on this page when you click the more button:

From there you can block 3rd party scripts and frames. To save the rule you need to commit it in the "My rules" pane by clicking on the temporary rule you added.

Do you plan on staying on classic or going to TBC next week?
