It even has one for my FireTV. Works great. Handling Real-Time DOM Sync in SSR React App with Dynamic Nested Routes Programming Web Development by Neil_brown001 I'm building an SSR React app (Next.js) with dynamic nested routes where components at multiple levels depend on both initial server-side data and real-time client-side updates via WebSockets. The challenge arises when synchronizing DOM state post-hydration—especially when the component tree changes due to route-based code-splitting, and some child… Is linux your daily driver? Hardware and Software Linux and Unix by Dani Linux has come a long way, but it's still primarily a server OS, correct? How many of you linux fanboys and girls use it as your primary operating system for daily tasks? How does it compare to Windows or macOS in terms of productivity and overall user experience? What are some underrated React JS best practices? Programming Software Development by James_228 I’ve been working on a mid-size React project and started noticing performance lags and bloated component trees. I optimized a few things like: Using useMemo() and useCallback() smartly (but not overusing) Breaking components into smaller reusable ones Lazy loading routes and components But I’d love to know: What are your go-to … Cannot run exe from asp.net Programming Web Development by lennyli I have tried to read https://www.daniweb.com/programming/web-development/threads/386380/cannot-run-exe-files-in-asp-net-application but still lost in trying to achieve something.

If a webpage could run a program installed on another computer, the entire world wide web would be hacked into tiny pieces and cease to exist. No one would ever use the web, it would be so totally insecure. So web pages are prohibited from running programs on your computer.

Java-based websites, on the other hand, usually need more hands-on optimization since they’re often custom-built and heavier in structure. Things like lazy loading, efficient server-side rendering… Re: Is linux your daily driver? Hardware and Software Linux and Unix by Reverend Jim I've tried loinux several times over the years on spare computers, virtual machines, and a Raspberry Pi.

Hardware and Software Linux and Unix by Salem I use it all day, every day. TBH, M$ stopped being an OS company after Windows 7 and the so-called OS just became a marketing tool to ram ever more crap in front of your face. Re: Is linux your daily driver? Hardware and Software Linux and Unix by Vince_6 I used Linux on and off for years. I was finally willing to commit to Windows 11 when it installed some updates and it went into a reboot loop afterwards. I said screw it and went back to Linux. Been using it for months as my primary OS and I am quite happy with the decision. Re: Is linux your daily driver? Hardware and Software Linux and Unix by Dani I started this thread thinking about James, DaniWeb's sysadmin, who I was surprised to hear uses Windows as his daily driver, despite his proficiency in Linux. I believe he quoted things like Linux not being ideal for gaming. I'm macOS only these days. Re: Is linux your daily driver? Hardware and Software Linux and Unix by Benjamin_17 The last time I used Windows was Windows XP when I got a blue screen of death trying to install it.

Re: Is linux your daily driver? Hardware and Software Linux and Unix by jkon I exclusively use Linux on my personal PCs, currently the Ubuntu distribution. I switched from Windows between 2010 and 2012. Before that, I used Linux on a different PC for several years, followed by a period of dual booting. Thanks to WINE, I have yet to encounter software I cannot run on my PC. I believe Ubuntu has become so user-friendly that … Re: Is linux your daily driver? Hardware and Software Linux and Unix by Reverend Jim When I ran into problems with linux I found the online help was less than helpful. The help, when offered, consisted of experts explaining things to other experts, even though I mentioned that I was anything but. All help assumed I had much more knowledge than I did. The explanations sounded like Trek techno-babble. Re: Is linux your daily driver? Hardware and Software Linux and Unix by Reverend Jim >Yes , that is still an issue... Many years back a neighbour was taking an evening course to become more computer literate.
