Let's say I'm a manufacturer of widgets, and instead of buying an off-the-shelf CRM I decide to have the resident IT whiz on the team vibe-code a custom solution for our needs. Now I'm a manufacturer of widgets AND a CRM SaaS shop, responsible for software maintenance/deployment/reliability/feature roadmap/bug remediation. I guess the idea is that AI agents will take care of all of those things too - to which I guess my perspective is "good luck! I hope that works out."
I'm a bit confused by this as a union demand because I've followed 4dayweek.io for some time now and Kickstarter shows up there as a 4x8 company as of 2022. (https://4dayweek.io/company/kickstarter/jobs). Anyone know if that's not still the case?
I just finished a green wood post-and-rung chairmaking class last week. The posts are split out and steam-bent, while the rungs are dried in a makeshift kiln (a box with a heat lamp). The posts are then above ambient humidity, while the rungs are dried below it. As the entire chair equals out, the posts will dry out and compress onto the tenons of the rungs, which will swell up a bit and lock in place. We did use glue but you don't really need to. Neat stuff.
Cool. I've also built a bar stool with green wood but it's a fairly crude shop stool rather than a fine chair.
A green wood specialty in my neck of the woods is sauna ladles (used for throwing water). You can buy wooden ones but they are made from seasoned lumber with CNC machines and don't survive more than a year before they crack. The one I made from green wood is still going strong after 7 years in extreme humidity and temperature environment.
The article in question is specifically about using Next.js to do what you are saying (generate static HTML files from a set of React components). He also mentions using Astro for it.
Good point, though the article mostly discusses static site generation (no server-side JS) and I think we can take it a step further and have no runtime / client-side JS as well.
Next.js does usually have the runtime part, but I imagine it’s not too hard to disable (or you can strip all JS from the output). Astro, like I mentioned, strips JS by default (from island components, not from .astro components, though you can usually use those without any client-side JS, too).
It is kinda roundabout way of generating HTML from JSX though.
I've been on Qulipta (a CGRP drug) daily for about a year now. It started working pretty much immediately, and I cannot think of a single side-effect in use, other than that you will have a withdrawal period pretty much immediately if you miss a dose.
Before that I've used Rizatriptan to treat rather than prevent (works well, but can cause brain fog, mood swings and GI issues). In order to get approval for the CGRP I had to try lower-cost drugs like Verapamil (a calcium channel blocker) which had no effects at all, positive or negative, and Topiramate, which is the single worst medication I've ever used. Compared to all of those, the CGRP is a miracle and has been life-changing.
There a some small side-effects with Quilipta. I was a bit low energy for a couple a weeks until my body got used to it. Also, it is a mild appetite suppressant. I seem to be able to miss doses of a day or two just fine though. Nurtec also works well for me as an accute migrate treatment.
"The Sediments of Time" by Meave Leakey is fascinating both from her life and her family history.
"Kindred: Neanderthal Life, Love, Death and Art" by Rebecca Wragg-Sykes is great.
"Almost Human" by Lee Berger is about one particular discovery rather than human origins as a whole but is an entertaining read - there was an accompanying PBS special (NOVA?) that's worth watching as well to really understand the scale of some of the caves they were in.
I've been transferring mine to Cloudflare as they come closer to renewal. Unfortunately Cloudflare doesn't allow punycode domains right now and I have one domain with an æ that might get orphaned.
Brendan (the maker of these) is a fascinating, very smart guy. He's a very talented woodworker and wrote a great book on James Krenov. I was lucky to take a class he taught a few years ago, and I enjoy following his Instagram page to see the new projects he has going on.
Just chiming in to say your link led me to the document. The introduction is fantastic. I'm in the middle of an enormous woodworking undertaking and I am gonna have to hit pause and read this book. Completely nerd-sniped; other lurkers beware this rabbit hole.
