Only right owners can report websites, the Piracy Shield is essentially a tool in the hands of “Serie A Soccer League” and DAZN.

kavaruka — Fri, 05 Sep 2025 17:50:00 +0000

The "perception of speed" argument reminded me of when I was asked to add spinners and animations to a web app I was building, because without them the UI would have felt too fast and fake.

I have been using Lit in production for 3 years now. I think it is the best abstraction over the web components API out there.

I think node has a better tooling and ecosystem right now. Astral is doing a great job to reduce the gap.

The GDPR always applies regardless of whether a company is profitable or not. But it covers only personal data/sensible data, not "all data".

New comment by kavaruka in "What We Lost with PHP and jQuery"

kavaruka — Sun, 01 Jun 2025 16:49:37 +0000

I think this is just nostalgia, in the past decade I worked on several web apps, with lot of interactions and real time data (online auctions, live sport scores, customer support) and using jQuery (or even Angular.js) for this purpose was awful, because you had to reinvent state management and think about rendering performance.

You don’t understand the tools we have now, probably you are not the target and you can still use PHP + jQuery.

And is false that they weren’t package managers: the de-facto standard was Bower, used in combo with Grunt as task manager, with a Ruby toolchain that included LESS most of the type to preprocess styles.

I would be curious to know the performance using node.js as runtime, given that at the moment there is no evidence that bun on a real application offers better performance

this is just an hype-driven "glue code" which combines the most popular buzzwords at the moment, a framework is something else

kavaruka — Thu, 26 Oct 2023 19:42:51 +0000

I believe that many people who criticize Next.js or consider it difficult have not understood what the RSCs are for and how they work

It's a paradigm shift compared to the old way of thinking about React apps

In my company we've been using Next.js in production for a long time now and for us the app router has been key to increasing DX

js does not need Observable API, it already had Async Iterables that soon will be enhanced with these helpers https://github.com/tc39/proposal-async-iterator-helpers that are similar to this proposal
