Why not to have timestamp-uuid instead ?

What about STORING excess power and delivering it during the day at a same level ? That is a critical part! I remember last time it was too expensive.

I try a simple absolutely layout (all calculated on a server), and helps me a lot. 1) no reflow 2) very few exceptions 3) WAY EASIER FOR LLMs

I started writing in a Dioxus (rust framework) style. max 1KB of js code. Sending the diff via WebSocket from the rust server, and , what is more important, all code is now on a server, and because of websocket and rust it executes almost same speed as on the client. Back to normal pages sizes. And, of course, virtual scrolling everywhere.

I was exactly going to shot Tesla. Is Tesla more like Elon meme ?

Any chance to see the other side ? I regularly read the opposite side press, their points are basically this:

- get rid of all immigrants (illegal alients)

- get rid of everyone who is against ICE

- take Canada, Greenland, Mexico and Colombia

Thus seriously, any minimal possibility to justify actions of ICE? Scared, non trained, a very stupid agent, whatever ?

Hard feelings here. I like react and have to work with it, still it is all insanely wrong.

The best approach I've found so far is egui , and I hope people are moving that direction. Draw whole frame, collect events, process, update internal state.

Yep. If I have only one express js process - I can just save and load. if it is 1-5 users - lets story all in a single JSON (although sometimes I use excel for storage). People underestimate simplicity

Thank you, yes and indexed db too, as in other comment.

I like to have exactly two API calls.

-- load data (returns json)

-- save data (sends json, returns 200 ok)

That is all! Let frontend bind everything to that json and save it every 1-2 seconds in setInterval.

Hi folks! I have huge success on a prototype of this approach:

- Store all data as json

- App loads: load full json on a client

- Something changes by user - change json locally and every 10 seconds save whole json to backend as a single json file

- also every 10 seconds load the updated json from backend to client.

Yes, I know, parallel access problems, lack of schema, lack of db, using file to store. But how much it makes life easier and speed ups development at start! I am in this over 20 years, and I like dumb stupid solutions applied properly. Duct taping forever!

Thank you all for detailed answers! As I see, if all goes well the problem will be solved in two years (more or less).

Again, no comments regarding if it is good to hunt "illegal aliens" and kick them away - US citizens must decide this themselves.

Can someone tell me three things, please! - is ICE illegal or immoral ? Or it is a good tool used wrong ? - can people vote and make ICE stronger / weaker depending on their choice ? - are non registered people breaking the law or not ? Is it basically bad law or bad people ? I am sure US is republic and democracy together, but everyone here pretends ICE is a tool of dictatorship and should be stopped immediately.

If you ask about my personal opinion - it is an internal problem of US citizens, and they need to fix it.
