Jokes aside, you ask in different ways, including different languages, and the more you test the more certain you are that it is correct. The only way to be 100% certain is to get the developers to tell you.

But defining react as a framework or a library isn't easy, the word "React" isn't just one thing. JSX, initializing script, and the app skeleton are all optional to using React, yet React without JSX doesn't exist, everyone does it, like bundling your web app is a must in production nowadays.

React wasn't so much a framework when it started, you could add pieces of react in different parts of your page, to the point people sometimes argued that it was overkill to have the entire page be a react app. It is slowly walking into the framework direction, and the new react.dev docs violently suggest you use a react with a framework. A developer doesn't just "start" using react in these times, they need to understand a lot to create a full project with react.

Just some random web dev stuff. 3 posts as I created it last month.

It's like you are missing the drive to get that thing done to the point that your brain just tricks you into thinking that anything remotely productive seems more important and better to get started on now than the actual task. To me this is a rare occurrence, hence why I think I am not a ADHD person.

The problem to me is that this difficulty is hard to differentiate from self-discipline.

I suspect you will be less likely to feel that inability to get around to do the tasks that you know to be important to do it if you fail in a way that life itself, the universe, hurts you for the failure, as opposed to your boss saying "you're fired for showing up late".

I also suspect that some people use religion to fix this: Like picturing a higher being looking down and saying "Wherefore dost thou not now do that which thou must? Else, I shall smite thee from the heavens or cause thee great trouble in the afterlife."

Stoicism tends to be a difficult way to live but it does compensate in the long term.

Anyways I had this strange thought some time ago: What if social media is this way by design? I mean, what if it was intended to be shallow, to value weakness, to tell obese people they are fine the way they are, to say it is okay to be afraid all the time? That we should just judge people and that is valuable? And to value feelings and manipulation over truth and honesty?

People who don't hold these values will either leave or they will get resentful about how the world "degenerated" and how they are no longer welcome here. It is all lost!

The notion of "the world" has been distorted after the pandemic (it was already distorted but the pandemic helped) to mean their phone, the internet, facebook, instagram, twitter, etc.

And as mentioned by the article the real world is very different: The grass and the air is revigorating, people don't fight each other as often, they are busy fighting for their dreams, and obese people are told to get healthy, weak people are taught how to be strong, and if you lie people will hold you accountable instantly. A 40 year old psychopath will not tell a 12 year old that their gender is wrong because he will be punched on the face or sent to jail. Sorry for having to go there, it is just an extreme example.

Maybe it's possible that by making the social media landscape hostile to the kind of people who are good we can get them to be happy in the real world? Where we need them building a better society? I don't feel right saying this but part of me is fine with leaving people who are evil or lazy hypnotized by their phone.

Pay attention to the comments around this community and others and you won't go a month without reading a comment or a post complaining about Google Search. For one, the other services google produces are good and I pay for some as I find them valuable. Second, I love the past of google search, it helped me a ton. Third, I know that Google Search is such a popular thing that you'll always find someone complaining about it, I get it, but it is my feeling that present-day search for google has been rotting away slowly for the past years. My Google-fu was envious back in the day and if you remember or used that term before then you are probably getting old too, sorry, but do join me in my mid life crisis and let's long for the good old days!

I now use Kagi search. It is not perfect nor updated as often as Google Search but I pay for it out of principle: I hope that more people will do it, and since only people who cares about search would do such an unnecessary act, it will probably get optimized for weird people like me.

I liked the controls, they are impressively intuitive. It could have more knobs, or more individual movement of the elements of the scene so that we could have even more flexibility.

I can't help but notice the bitterness associated with men in this piece though. It seems to indicate that men taint the image of women with an incomplete representations of their personhood when they manifest their "Male Gaze" into art.

Since I am one of those wretched beings I will defend my perspective: men of these times saw things worth preserving. You might not like it but that's not the point.

And it seems that we overloaded the servers with submissions or something because I got an error submitting my picture. It was a nice experience still.

Are we comparing clients knowing my ip vs not knowing my ip while connecting to my server? Because there's a huge difference. I would obviously want my ip to stay unknown if possible. With my ip you can roughly geolocate my server, DDOS it, try other ports like 80, 443, 22, 3306 to know more about it, etc.
