Judging by the comments in this thread this will be the one defining mistake that kills Microsoft.

Love it!

Some banjo action was expected!

Jk it was a fine game and had an awesome cover in a weird way.

Legendary talk

Phalanx comes to mind

I’m a single person and my regular sized dishwasher runs 1-2 times a week. I use a lot of bowls while cooking and containers for leftovers and stuff. Pots fill the lower floor up pretty quickly. Pans, knifes and anything wooden I wash by hand. I could live with a smaller dishwasher but then it would run even more frequently. I can’t imagine a life without one.

Though there is always a person standing next to the self-checkouts helping people if something is not working or they need to approve alcohol. They always seem pretty bored just standing around.

Our Rewe recently switched to card-only

Tomb Raider, Doom, Mortal Kombat for example

Not bad games at all but I just don’t like that it’s claiming the name of something, basically saying it wasn’t good enough.

Thanks for the clarification!

In Germany we always have elections on Sundays so it’s basically a public holiday (unlike in the US where stores are still open). There are enough places to vote (though you’re assigned to the one in your district for statistical reasons) so you rarely have to stand in line. I’ve seen pictures of voting lines in the US and was shocked…

Mail-in votes are available to everyone and it’s being used a lot but for many people going to the voting place in person has more meaning to it. Some even put on a suit, but that could also be because they are on the way to church.

Electronic voting was discussed but the consensus is that it’s not safe enough.

The question if it should be a public holiday in the US is weird to me as it is a very clear YES and also YES people should definitely always get a day off on public holidays wtf

You would be surprised how other countries (including your favorite role model European ones) are fucking themselves up right now.

I would prefer Apple making routers again.

Since 100%ing Astro Bot I’m now continuing Last of Us 2 on New Game+. About a third way through.

Always-games: Shipbreaker, Synth Rider (PSVR2), Factorio, Vampire Survivors, Balatro (now on iPad)

All games and movies that reuse the same name as the very first title in the franchise to make a “fresh start” while spitting on the original.

Very recently I was driving on the Autobahn. It was a relatively crowded Sunday. Then cars in front of me slowed down a little, I saw two cars on the side of the road, then a lonely car wheel rolled right in front of me, nearly missed my bumper, I only had to break slightly. I was startled but fine. Saw one or two more cars on the side, they all seemed fine. I wondered where the, now three-wheeled, car was. About a kilometer further there it was on the side, already sitting on a car jack, so some time must have passed already and no one seemed injured. This wheel must have rolled around on the road for a while, hitting a few cars on it’s way. I was reminded of the movie “Rubber”.

We have all the solutions, we just need to execute them.

It does make sense when you mix. You get the benefit of instant rendering and dynamic content all in one. And web dev becomes even more complicated…

There is no latency on static pages. They are rendered once as regular HTML and then saved on the server to be immediately ready for the user. The server is only processing that initial data fetching and rendering once per site. If needed, it can be retriggered. This is great for blogs and other regular pages.

Server pages on the other hand will do the initial fetch request every time but once the site is there, no data is missing and everything is there. It’s not for everyone. Regular dynamic pages still make sense. For every method there are use cases.

Disclaimer: I’m speaking from my experience with Next.js which did the same thing long before and React now aims to make that easier. But I’m not sure if React has the distinction between static and server. It’s all new and I haven’t had a project to test it on yet.

It’s called Server Components. If you actually build a fully static website, there is no DOM modification going on. I would actually not recommend doing that with React because it kinda defeats the purpose. The goal of it is to have a mix of both. The initial render is super fast because it is prerendered once for everyone. Then dynamic data is being fetched if needed and elements are replaced. It also improves SEO.
