That's the architecture my B2B SaaS uses, except Vue instead of React. We deploy the SPA to a CDN and it feels snappy. Some clients access the API directly via OAuth. django-allauth is the other critical piece. Works great altogether.

Hmm, not sure what you mean. The consumer cards from AMD and Nvidia are still gaming-first, and games utilize new features like ray-tracing and DSS. Speaking as a lifelong PC gamer and current Twitch addict, the industry still seems very healthy.

Agree with these points, but at 1.5 I'd insert: intimate knowledge of the maps. "Holding angles" is such a profound advantage, and requires knowing the maps inside-and-out.

Oh man, what a fun era of tech. I had a REX 6000 that I adored.

Super interesting to read everyone's opinions about C&P. I too was force-fed lots of classics in school, and practically always resorted to CliffsNotes. For whatever reason, C&P struck such a chord with me, I "couldn't put it down", won a scholarship writing about it, and got to skip a bunch of Lit classes in college :)

The password management was reincorporated into the Firefox app, and you can tell iOS to use Firefox as your password manager. See bottom of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/end-of-support-firefox-...

Check out Firefox if you need a cross-platform browser that syncs passwords, etc. I use Windows, macOS, Linux, and iOS, and I've found Firefox to be my best option.

I feel ya. My RPi does indeed have a case, with a fan. The backups are offloaded to an external HDD.

I have a Raspberry Pi running Pi-hole and Time Machine, making that little board probably the best value piece of tech I've ever owned. https://saschaeggi.medium.com/use-a-raspberry-pi-4-for-time-... is what I followed.

This typo could be taken the wrong way. Couple options:

Recent data regulation in China, Europe and US restricts...

Or, Recent data regulations in China, Europe and US restrict...

The White Stripes are probably my all-time favorite band. As much as I'd love to see Meg perform again, let her do her.

I've been trying out Linux distros since the late 90s. I recognize Mint's reputation as a Windows alternative for Linux noobs. But it's honestly the best OS I've used on any platform since... Snow Leopard? With Cinnamon anyway (the default), it's polished, fast, and has a perfect set of default apps for what I need to do.

Set and setting are enormously important when taking anything, even alcohol or caffeine. If you're in a bad mood or uncomfortable space, drugs will probably make it worse.

deno's built-in test runner is also a big selling point for me, and Node.js 20 is declaring theirs (node:test) to be stable.

RIP. Creative is a brand I'll love forever, having come into PC gaming in the 90's (Sound Blaster). My desktop speakers are still Creative.
