Reactivity and Reactive Programming [Blog Post]
  • You're right, and I actually make that point in the blog post! Reactivity is not exclusive to the frontend.

    However, in the frontend, Reactivity is almost an invisible default. You don't opt into it, you just kinda have to when you use a modern framework.

    In the backend, many people use Reactive patterns without even knowing them or thinking of them. But either way, if you do use them, you likely opted in, and it wasn't a "all code you write is automatically reactive" like in modern browser ui frameworks

    Nearly all modern browser UI frameworks boast Reactivity as a core feature. What is Reactivity all about? Is it useful or applicable outside of frontend development? what is the hype all about anyways?

    Most modern JavaScript UI frameworks boast Reactivity, but have you ever wondered what that means exactly?

    In my opinion, Reactivity is largely responsible for making modern frontend development unintuitive to outsiders.

    This blog post explains what Reactivity is, and how it manifested in the frontend development world today.

    You might find this interesting if you're: a frontend dev unfamiliar with the concept, a non-frontend dev interested in frontend, or just curious what Reactivity is!

    Hi all, I have a blog and I wanted to start sharing it on lemmy, but I am wondering, should I post the entire content of the blog post when I post it?

    For context, my blog is ad-free, so I'm not concerned about missing out on ad revenue.

    But my blog posts are longer than average, so it may be quite long to post them here. Moreover, the blog post may have graphics or mermaid diagrams that are not easily copy able. Is it a good practice to share the full text in the lemmy post despite this, or should I only share the URL?

    Look Ma, No CDN!
  • I thought the point of a CDN is that its available at edge locations. Do you have multiple servers geographically dispersed? If so, can you explain what else makes it a CDN?

    Sorry if my comment comes off as snarky, when I read it, it sounds like that, but I promise it is not my intention!

    Podman 5.2 release and it brings friends along too
  • I like Podman, but I still have trouble making two rootless mode containers be accessible to each other through network communication.

    Users of Vim and similars, what exactly makes it useful compared to other text editors? How much time do you suppose you save when working with it?
  • Time saved is not the most important part. Here is my opinion:

    • it is very satisfying to use. Once it becomes muscle memory, vim just gets out of your way, and you feel like you're one with the computer. Your ideas flow freely from brain to document.
    • neovim is highly customizable and scriptable. You can make it do many things, many of which were never even conceived by the developers.

    What are your thoughts on Medium.com?
  • The appeal I see in medium is more visibility for my content. I write for fun anyways, would be cool for more people to see it.

  • I have a self hosted blog currently, and I'm considering posting it on medium.com

    I blog mostly for fun and I have not tried to monetize it. Are there any reasons to not use medium?

    What about alternatives like substack?
