Next.js 14: The Server Component Awakening
The Quest Begins (The "Why")Hey there, fellow code adventurer! 🚀I still remember the first time I tried to build a data‑heavy dashboard with React. I fetched everything on the client, showed a spinner, waited for the API, then rendered a massive JSX tree that made the browser sputter like a tired dragon. The user saw a blank screen for seconds, and I felt like I was trying to slay a fire‑breathing beast with a wooden spoon. That pain point got me asking: Why do we keep sending so much Jav

CSS Grid vs Flexbox: The Showdown Feels Like a Boss Fight in Dark Souls
The Quest Begins (The "Why")Honestly, I was wrestling with a layout that refused to behave. I had a card‑based dashboard that needed rows of varying heights, but also a sidebar that should stick to the left no matter how tall the content got. I slapped on Flexbox, thought I’d cracked it, and then… the cards started wrapping weirdly on narrow screens, and the sidebar would collapse into a nightmare of overflow. I felt like I was stuck in a loop, trying to dodge attacks from a boss that kept
xTool M2 review: This sleek laser cutter and engraver is an easy recommendation from me
The xTool M2 is priced at the entry level of the company’s fully enclosed machines, but as ever there’s no mistaking it for anything other than an xTool laser engraver. As I got into using the machine, I could see just how finely tuned it is. Whilst it’s lighter weight than many of its more expensive siblings, the laser engraving power, even from the 10W laser in my review sample, was exceptionally good.Having reviewed these laser engravers for a few years now, there

Go Into The Story interview: Michael Arndt
My conversationwith the screenwriter of Little Miss Sunshine and Toy Story 3 about his video: “Endings: The Good, the Bad and the Insanely Great”.As any longstanding Go Into The Story reader is likely aware, I am a big fan of screenwriter Michael Arndt. Not only are Little Miss Sunshine and Toy Story 3 some of my favorite movies, but Michael is one of those writers who actually cares about people engaged in learning the craft.His educational outreach includes creating videos.

Someone forked my React component instead of opening an issue
I maintain a small comic and manga viewer component for React called react-comic-viewer.The other day I was poking around npm and noticed something odd — there were three other packages with basically my package's name, published by other people.All three were forks of mine. Same description, same repository URL pointing back at my repo.None of the three authors had ever opened an issue or a pull request on my side. What the fork changedThe oldest fork was made about three months after I fi

Quote of the day by Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel: 'Anyone that has a monopoly will pretend that they're in incredible competition' — exposing how tech titans bend the market in their favour
The size and scope of the world's biggest technology companies seem beyond anything we could have imagined in the distant past. Companies like Microsoft, Meta, and Google are described by many as monopolies in particular sectors and have landed themselves in trouble with the law over it.Do not pass GOWriting in his book 'Zero to One', Palantir and PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel commented on the lengths that monopolies would go to hide their absolute control over a part
Mercedes gave its new C-Class three AI assistants that compete to answer your questions
In June 2023, Mercedes-Benz and Microsoft ran a three-month ChatGPT beta on the automaker's MBUX Voice Assistant.

The Database Quest: Slaying the N+1 Beast (A Jedi's Guide)
The Quest Begins (The "Why")Honestly, I still remember the first time I launched a side‑project blog and watched the homepage crawl like a snail on a lazy Sunday. I opened the dev tools, hovered over the network tab, and saw dozens of SQL queries flashing by—each one barely returning a handful of rows. My stomach dropped. “What the heck is happening?” I muttered, half‑joking, half‑panicking.I dug into the logs and discovered the classic N+1 query pattern: for every post displayed, the code

Best Buy's 60th Anniversary sale has some seriously tempting TCL TV deals — our favorite models are up to $2,000 off
The Best Buy 60th Anniversary sale includes a myriad of excellent TV discounts this week, but I don't think any touch the retailer's deals on the TCL brand specifically when it comes to outright value. Right now, Best Buy's discounts range up to $2,000 off across a range of 2025 and 2026 TCL models — many of which we've reviewed highly here at TechRadar. A few of these displays were arguably already some of the best value TVs you could buy, but now, they're even more

The wait for perhaps the most anticipated game of all time, Grand Theft Auto 6, has spanned just over a decade since its developer, Rockstar Games, released the last entry in the series. Its 2023 reveal convinced fans it would arrive sooner than expected — but multiple delays sapped plenty of the excitement.After years of anticipation, GTA 6 is finally almost here, set to launch on November 19, 2026, on PS5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S, with no delays in sight.
