Also uploaded an old gerber export straight from KiCAD and no dice. The project files themselves seemed to work.
I have a next.js SSG blog that easily hits 100 and loads ~instantly. I just don't think there's any point trying to have a rational discussion about next on hn.

only a Sith deals in absolutes. There's a big difference in the strength of the connection from input to output between LLM edits and writing the code.

Seldom is one of those words that's used occasionally in writing, but seldom in conversation.

Why would a left-leaning press engineer errors predicting the victory of the left? Wouldn't this lull supporters of the Democrats into a false sense of security and enable Republican wins?

why not?
They're offering to subsidize the cost that the individual would normally pay for COBRA coverage. They're only required to offer the coverage, but not to pay for it.

However, I don't think this is that unusual in SV layoff packages.

Re:Google Broke Its Promise to Me. Now ICE Has My Data on Wednesday April 15, 2026 @06:58PM (#47786424)
You said it better than I could! As someone who does software for a living, do I want to come home and maintain a homelab that hosts photos, email, decentralized social, etc? Hell no!

Even if it's fun as a hobby, I don't want to be on call for my own basic online services.

Re:The Git Commands I Run Before Reading Any Code on Wednesday April 08, 2026 @03:11PM (#47694847)
Every time I hear about commit messages on HN, this is my first thought. I can't imagine not working in a squash workflow. No matter how good your commit messages are, I do not want to read all of them. The squashed commit will direct me to the original PR in case I need more detail.
Re:JSON Canvas Spec on Thursday April 02, 2026 @05:01PM (#47620132)
It strikes me as odd that boxes are placed precisely using pixels, but the size of text is not specified, as far as I can tell. So you use real pixels to specify boxes, but still can't render a canvas exactly/consistently?

was this written using a LinkedIn skill
from my perspective--I have to use React, Lit, and all kinds of other creative solutions at my day job--I'm going to immediately devalue someone's argument if it starts with "I hate React".

React is not popular simply because engineers hate themselves or enjoy pain. There are problems it solves, and problems it creates. Explain what problems your solution solves, and feel free to dunk on React while you're at it, but write a tagline like this and I'm not gonna take you seriously.

"GitHub's own security guidance recommends pinning actions to full commit SHAs as the only truly immutable way to consume an action"

Why doesn't GitHub just enforce immutable versioning for actions? If you don't want immutable releases, you don't get to publish an Action. They could decide to enforce this and mitigate this class of issue.

Re:JavaScript Is Enough on Sunday March 22, 2026 @01:55PM (#47480185)
you continue to contradict yourself by introducing concepts and saying they are not concepts.

I get what you're trying to say, that React hooks have special semantics, and that your abstraction feels more "native".

again, not sure how this is more "native" than Solid signals, just as an example.

Re:JavaScript Is Enough on Saturday March 21, 2026 @09:52PM (#47473630)
> Solid has signals and createEffect... Gea takes a different path. It introduces no new concepts at all.

proceeds to introduce Stores and Components

what makes this magically easier than Solid, or any other Proxy-based reactive store frameworks?

out of curiosity, what makes Geekbench 6 better?

Can I buy them for my underage friends at different stores? Is there revocation and hence a database that maps codes to identities?

How are the codes minted? Can I pretend to be a gas station and buy a big pack of ID cards, then just not check ID?

The average LLM writes cleaner, better-factored code than the average engineer at my company. However, I worry about the volume of code leading to system-scale issues. Prior to LLMs, the social contract was that a human needs to understand changes and the system as a whole.

With that contract being eroded, I think the sloppiness of testing, validation, and even architecture in many organizations is going to be exposed.

Hey man, if you ever see this, not your fault it ended up on HN early! I'm sure this is solid for your usecase. That's just something that would dissuade me from choosing it!
Re:ai;dr on Thursday February 12, 2026 @01:09PM (#46992592)
I've gone back to using two dashes--LLMs typically don't write them that way.
I clicked on Dropdown, thinking it's one of the more complex things to implement. It doesn't even have a picture.
Re:Turbopack: Building Faster by Building Less on Sunday January 25, 2026 @10:07PM (#46761392)
The fact that there's no tangible plan for any plugin support in Turbopack is actually what made me not choose Next.js.

The answer for people who need basically any build plugin is "use the webpack mode", and I have zero faith in Vercel maintaining that past the next major version.

I guess we'll see whether they figure out a story for plugins by then.

why would you bid the highest price you can afford in an auction? the seller agreed to auction the thing; they could have just offered it for a set price.
Re:The Gleam Programming Language on Friday January 16, 2026 @04:14PM (#46652311)
do you think the point of the GP was simply to remark that the project makes an affirmation of human rights? My intent is to call out shit takes, not discuss semantics.
