Re:Debugging in the Multiverse on Tuesday September 10, 2024 @10:12AM (#41500977)
This looks very interesting! Is it possible to implement this in a node.js web app? Does it work with any build tool? How much latency does it add to a production server?
In my opinion, this article a hilarious joke, a satire. I mean...

This is very cool. Note: the chalk-on-chalkboard sound comes to my speakers as harsh static.
Re:Ask HN: What other good forums are out there? on Thursday December 07, 2023 @11:18AM (#38558151)
Is there a good forum for React users to ask questions and discuss best practices?
You might want to look at https://www.meteor.com/. There aren't a lot of alternatives to it that do such a good job of providing its benefits:

- Zero-config build tool

- Accounts system included

- Live reactive data system included

- Easy interface to React, Svelte, Vue

- Can use its out-of-the box MongoDB integration or integrate with any database via GraphQL

- Great community forum

A new version 3.0 is almost done.

Re:I've Overlayed Stays on a Light Pollution Satellite Map on Wednesday November 01, 2023 @09:36AM (#38097992)
Is there a legend for the shading? I wasn't quite sure what shades of color meant what amounts of light pollution.

Meteor is a very strong option. It will build anything you throw at it. It has built-in accounts so you can get your login/auth system running very quickly. It has a lot of options for live data if your app needs it - your users see relevant updates on their screens without needing to refresh the window. It supports React, graphQL, MongoDB, and other view frameworks/databases.

Re:The Market for Lemons - Alex Russell on JS frontends on Sunday February 05, 2023 @10:36AM (#34665711)
In the author's footnote #1, he praises Svelte and Vue. So the whole article boils down to "Don't use React, use Svelte/Vue instead."

Re:Ask HN: How to find what I am really good at? on Tuesday October 04, 2022 @09:45AM (#33080276)
First of all, you're really good at identifying the need for people to be able to answer this question! It's a very good question because often people aren't aware of their own skills. I don't have an answer here but if you could develop one you'd have many customers to utilize this as a service.

I googled "what hidden skills do i have" and found other people looking into this question as well.

Selenium can be very difficult to install when it comes to specific browser libraries.. Playwright, just as one example, is very easy to install.
Re:GraphQL kinda sucks on Saturday August 06, 2022 @11:20AM (#32368871)
You can do something like this. This query can be created and run on the client:

``` const SAMPLE_JOIN_QUERY = gql` query ($main_data_id: String!) { mainData( main_data_id: $main_data_id) { id main_data_field_1 main_data_field_2 main_data_field_3 related_data{ related_data_field_1 related_data_field_2 related_data_field_3 } } } `; ```

Re:GraphQL kinda sucks on Saturday August 06, 2022 @11:14AM (#32368819)
When you say it doesn't support tables, can you provide more info? GraphQL can return lists of course.
Re:GraphQL kinda sucks on Saturday August 06, 2022 @11:13AM (#32368804)
Let's say you need to get a field back that is already in the database table, but that wasn't previously returned by the GraphQL endpoint. All you have to do on the front end is ask for it and GraphQL will populate it for you on the server.

Just use Meteor and/or Apollo. They have all this stuff figured out.

Re:Ask HN: What do you think about the no-code movement? on Thursday November 11, 2021 @03:32PM (#29192769)
No-code is definitely useful today for certain specific use cases, especially to create apps that collect data, store it in a database, and report to the client the results of some analysis of that data.
Re:Ask HN: I'm making like 0 friends at college, how to fix it? on Saturday October 23, 2021 @01:52PM (#28970725)
Go to events for people that have the same interests you do. You're likely to make some friends at events like this if you go to a lot of them.
