So many landing page templates are terrible - you definitely caught my eye by having ones that look immediately usable!

If you're taking future requests, I definitely prefer pure React as opposed to NextJS.

[Edit Added]: Please add a copy of the license you are using to your site. We can't actually use your templates professionally if you don't provide a license document.

With too many self-sold templates, there is either no license or a license written by a programmer rather than a lawyer. Without a real license, there is no way to use the templates for anything beyond the most hobby of projects.

American independent journalism seems to be dying (unfortunately) but I think in Europe there are several large news organizations reporting on things that matter in a relatively independent fashion, at least a lot more independent than what we see happening in the US (I'm thinking of e.g. The Guardian, Le Monde, I could also name a couple of Dutch news sources, but they would mean nothing to 95% of the readers here).

"making sure they exercise more care" is quite a vague concept. If things are important there will be checks and extra safety nets and people will learn over time. If the only thing stopping harm is people "caring more", then you have a ticking time bomb on your hands anyway. And yeah, you can just tell someone "this is very important and serious" to convey it's very important and serious. Adding asshole phrasing on top doesn't change much.

Why the golden ratio? Because the continued fraction of the golden ratio is all 1's [0]. So it is uniquely hard to approximate with a rational number. The golden ratio is the bound on Hurwitz's theorem [1]. And avoiding a rational number is what you want for good hashing, because multiplying with a rational number doesn't mix your digits well.

> I live in NYC now, and fortunately we still have Micro Center which is still fun, though I do worry that it might go the way of Fry's Electronics soon enough.

Thank god for Micro Center. Bought a cheap first Gen Threadripper and a board for it, turns out the board needed a firmware update to get the CPU working. Called the Flushing Micro Center, asked if they could help me and They said "Sure thing! bring the CPU and board over, no cooler needed." Dropped it off and they called me back in three hours, board was ready. Amazon can't do that.

I also love spending a bit of time walking the aisles and always stop by the clearance table to scrounge for cheap fun stuff.

I'm curious about the "environmentally friendly" promise. How meaningful/measurable would removing these tags be?

I think there's something to be said for efficiency/no wasted bytes, but better for the environment feels like a major stretch/beside the point...

It's like saying "if we all cut out unnecessary adjectives from our speech, it would save 100k gallons of water per day." Could that be true, maybe? But that's not the thing that makes brevity meaningful/important.

(or: Tongue-in-cheek joke that went over my <head>?)

> you could also just call React components from XHP

Fascinating, I didn't know there was such a close integration between XHP and React. I imagined the history like XHP being a predecessor or prior art, but now I see there was an overlap of both being used together, long enough to have special language constructs to "bind" the two worlds.

"ReactXHP" didn't turn up anything, but XHP-JS sounds like it.

> We have a rapidly growing library of React components, but sometimes we’ll want to render the same thing from a page that is mostly static. Rewriting the whole page in React is not always the right decision, but duplicating the rendering code in XHP and React can lead to long-term pain.

> XHP-JS makes it convenient to construct a thin XHP wrapper around a client-side React element, avoiding both of these problems. This can also be combined with XHPAsync to prefetch some data, at the cost of slightly weakening encapsulation.

https://engineering.fb.com/2015/07/09/open-source/announcing...

This is from ten years ago, and it's asking some of the same big questions as the posted article, JSX over the Wire. How to efficiently serve a mixture of static and dynamic content, where the same HTML templates and partials are rendered on server and client side. How to fetch, refresh data, and re-hydrate those templates.

With this historical context, I can understand better the purpose of React Server Components, what it's supposed to accomplish. Using the same language for both client/server-side rendering solves a large swath of the problem space. I haven't finished reading the article, so I'll go enjoy the rest of it.

Junie has been amazing for me, completely replaced my payments for Claude Code and Cursor. And it was free (until today). It's the least aggressive agent i've used, no complete re-writes or even close, And is able to achieve about 95% of what I ask of it

The only downside - which might be fixed in the newest release - is that it completely forgets context between messages - even in the same message window. But that feels like both cost cutting and easy to fix

My biggest issues with Claude Code and Cursor for what its worth:

Claude Code: Price, plus when it doesnt get things right, within a few messages it ALWAYS just creates a new file entry point with some demo console.logs that do nothing but show messages, and claims to have succeeded in what I asked

Cursor: Will break some functionality in my web application while fixing or creating others, about 80% of the time

I love ultra pasteurization. I'm lactose intolerant so I have to drink "lactose free"[1] milk and in Canada such milk is often UHT pasteurized since it has to stay on the store shelf longer (lower inventory turnover). It's amazing that we can, non-chemically, disinfect a dairy product in such a way that it will stay good for months even without refrigeration.

In Mexico I suspect that almost all milk is ultra pasteurized since it's not refrigerated in stores and has wicked-long expiration dates. It's also some of the best-tasting milk I've had so I think that flavour has more to do with some of the other milk processes (like skimming) and the livelihood of the cows rather than with how it's pasteurized.

[1] In practice this is just milk with the lactase enzyme added at some point during production.

> China has been moving cheap product production to SEA for awhile now, what the USA wants is countries like Vietnam to make cheap products without Chinese involvement in the manufacturing tech and supply chains…which is pretty much impossible.

Not too long ago it was "common knowledge" that the Chinese couldn't do advanced stuff, now it's "common knowledge" you can't do advanced stuff without the Chinese.

Nothing is impossible (at least in this area). If someone says it's impossible, they're really saying "I don't wanna do it."

I haven't been actively monitoring for security vulnerabilities ever since I switched from system administration to software development a few decades back. These days, I just read news that talks about high profile vulnerabilities - I do see CVE a lot more than cert.

We used to look at cert: https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/ I just did a quick search to confirm that it is still there.

What's the difference/relationship between the two?

I think that's a function of the internet combined with a new flavor of individual exceptionalism. It is shockingly easy to engage only in echo chambers, even without knowing it. You're just on a site for people with similar interests, nevermind that those people all agree with you entirely.

Combine that with the lessons kids are learning that they are legitimately unique and special, and anyone who makes them feel bad is just wrong, and here we are.

Or maybe I'm just the old man shouting at clouds now. Who knows.

One the one hand, yes.

On the other hand:

“Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed.

That word is 'Nazi.' Nobody cares about their motives anymore.”

Yes - it's going into the air. The water isn't removed from the water cycle, but the problem is that fresh water was removed from the upstream part of the cycle before it could be used by the land. The term is water diversion, where downstream ecosystems, agriculture, and other users are deprived.

In an ideal world, all these data centers would instead intake salt water from the ocean, use their energy to evaporate it and condense it, producing fresh water and salts as output.

You both are wrong, thee is actually a symbiosis. Media (any kind) need freaks, maniacs, disasters to generate views, and keep common people puzzled, thrilled, and entertained. Anons need lulz. Therefore complete nonsense — “white poodle is a secret way to say Heil Hitler to the ones in the know” — will be reported in hopes that it won't fizzle out, but will become the next media sensation, and immediately there will be threads from totally legit specialists discussing how to breed the whitest dog possible.

He boosted a post that is 1:1 an announcement of the project.

How much more of a "clear confirmation" do you want? An announcement from their non-existent personal press secretaries that just says the exact same text as that post he boosted?

I think people here need to take a step back and realize that the people and board involved here are more like linux kernel maintainers that are not generally public figures and not C-level executives of a Fortune 500 company.

Yes, since it's cybersecurity a bit more caution than usual is probably warranted, but it's not like the CVE DB has gone offline and everyone is currently scrambling to find the new legitimate replacement. Let's let this situation breathe for a few hours/days instead of being overly cautious and spending all energy on skepticism.

> There's absolutely no indication that it has been overtaken by developing countries.

A lot of influencers in this space are non-whites born outside of the west. The scale of what he’s describing is exaggerated, but the trend is there.

> As for support for authoritarian regimes like russia, it is obvious that they are running propaganda on the website and want to sow division in the US by encouraging fringe groups like these.

This might have been true ten years ago. Most of the people in this space became disaffected with Putin after the war began owing to his moves with Dagestan and the Wagner group’s activities in Africa. /pol/ and /k/ are far more supportive of Ukraine than one would expect if your theory held true. There’s reason to suspect this is the result of the same kind of influence campaigns that were being run on the site by Russia during the Syrian Civil War.

For the sake of context, this is an old Soviet-era joke, that translates to about the following:

It seems like you have two pretty viable options:

1. Wire up LetsEncrypt certs for things running on your LAN, and all the "dire certificate warnings" go away.

2. Run a local ACME service, wire up ACME clients to point to that, make your private CA valid for 100 years, trust your private CA on the devices of the Regular People in your house.

I did this dance a while back, and things like acme.sh have plugins for everything from my Unifi gear to my network printer. If you're running a bunch of servers on your LAN, the added effort of having certs is tiny by comparison.

> but some people seem to find it useful.

Honestly, it filled a very specific hole for me that I found nowhere else. Everyone is talking about the “unfiltered content” and all those things but to me it was mostly just topical. It was really one of the few places where one could get a good discussion on the internet about Japanese female-oriented entertainment which I'm well aware isn't the first thing people think about with 4chan but pretty much every other forum about Japanese entertainment is completely dominated by male-oriented entertainment, except when they go out of their way to specifically make a board catered to female-oriented entertainment, but that has the side effect that people on those boards end up talking more about gender politics than about the entertainment itself and I just want to talk about my favorite television shows and comic books and really don't care about all the politics.

4chan by it's nature doesn't drown out minority tastes and voices. This really isn't just a “female-oriented entertainment” thing but really any minority taste that just gets drowned out on most boards to the point that it disappears. The only other place I know where one can do this is Tumblr, more or less, but it's a very different experience, not necessarily better or worse but there just isn't this kind of “live discussion” atmosphere and vibe going on on Tumblr about episodes that are currently airing where people post small comments as the episode is airing and they're watching it. It's more for long impressions after it was aired and it doesn't have the same degree of interaction, it's a blogging place, not a message board.

As said, it isn't just that but “obscure taste” in general. You can make a thread on 4chan about some really obscure piece of fiction that no one knows and get a discussion going, half with the people that do it know, in part because it's an imageboard so they're drawn in to an image they recognize and it stands out, and half with people that never heard of it before, see the images in the thread, see it looks interesting and try it out. The images are the key I feel, it lowers the barrier of entry for people to try out something obscure because they see the images which lures them in. It was one of the best places to get a discussion going about some obscure piece of fiction which Tumblr doesn't do either, the only things that are being discussed are the really big titles. There are so many relatively obscure titles I enjoy I will possibly never get to discuss with anyone in my life again if 4chan not come back. I know many of those titles from 4chan because people constantly promote and share fairly obscure things there and the images again sell it.
by strgcmc | 2025-04-16 13:02:07+00:00
That's very naive. AI replaces any and all "less fun" forms of interaction, for children who are too undeveloped to appreciate any goal/metric besides "fun". Meeting new unfamiliar kids is not fun, ergo kids will fallback to the known-safe, comfortable, fun companion that is AI.

If you believe the argument makes enough sense to justify replacing adults, then why do you think children will still want to play with each other, instead of just playing with AI? If anything, other children are MORE likely to display shitty behaviors than adults, given that you know, they're fucking children who don't know any better.

Have you spent any time around children?

We had a word for people that voted for Nazis, agreed with Nazis, talked like Nazis but claimed they weren't Nazis themselves in the 40s. It was "Nazi".

What matters is that the current administration is disappearing people with no legal reasons, due process or possible recourse. Either you agree with them in which case fuck you, or you don't and you condemn them. There can be no compromise or civility when one side is so aggressive and dangerous.

My guess is that they’ll be phased out next year. The long-term goal seems to be transitioning the CVE program into something more like an industry-led consortium. (If you did not notice they operate zero budgeting approach: cut everything and if something is very important reverse it. But you cut first and then ask questions.)

It’s worth noting that MITRE is a DoD contractor (with minor contracts from other agencies like this one). Having the CVE program operated by a company funded by the U.S. military raises valid concerns about conflicts of interest—especially in an ecosystem that depends on neutrality and global trust.

This website is missing a very important piece of information: why the hell you'd go to the trouble of making these changes.

It just makes this vague and useless statement:

> Make faster, more accessible, more environmentally friendly websites

And nothing else that I could see to back that up.

Exactly how much does it speed up the website by removing a couple of lines of favicon code from the head? My guess is extremely close to zero. Environmental impact of zero. Flick your lightbulb off for five seconds for a similar benefit, then pat yourself on the back, well done, you just did your bit to save the planet for the next month at least.

Without figures to back it up, this feels like a wannabe influencer padding their resume and wasting our time.

I can see your point, but I disagree on this.

It is specifically "US hegemony" and not "western democracy hegemony" because the US is so extraordinarily powerful in economy and military.

Interests/culture with other democracies aligns well enough (and the power differential is large enough!) that US leadership is tolerated/supported.

But Canada, EU, Australia, Japan are NOT vasall states: If interests would clash and/or the US lose a lot of its relative power, those would cease being majority supporters and push for domestic interests instead.

Calling them "fairweather friends" might be too cynical but I think it's much more accurate than considering them integral parts of the US hegemony.

I'm trying to square two aspects of your comment:

> Some libraries are so common that basically everybody uses them, to the point that they're considered the standard and they don't count when I raise complaints about people pulling in dependencies

> "But that's probably a very small minority of libraries that people actually use in certain languages."

It seems like by definition, the majority of libraries that people are actually using are going to be the popular ones that everybody is using.

it doesn't work that way in reality. You can monitor/check for bugs you can anticipate, but some bugs fall through the cracks and you have RCE's and outages causing millions of dollars. There is a limit both in terms of imagination and available resources on what you can anticipate and prepare for. There will never be a world where humans won't have to catch corner cases and bugs that would cause severe harm.

90% is a big number. Assuming being an expert allows her to make better use of AI than most, that is still an astonishing number without knowing anything about the field in question. That makes me think that 80 hour work weeks are mostly unproductive. Again, assumption being an average person to be able to use AI less effectively, let's ballpark at half as effectively, I still get 40 hours per week of mostly non-sense work. How did we end up here as a society?!

This part doesn't make sense to me:

> Read fairly, references to sex in this provision can only mean biological sex. People are not sexually oriented towards those in possession of a certificate.

Is this implying that sexual orientation is instead based on biological sex? Because it definitely isn't. You don't need to see someone's genitals to know if you're attracted to them, and you most definitely don't need to see their chromosomes. You can say you wouldn't consider having a relationship with a trans person if you like, but (apart from asexuals) you definitely can't say you aren't attracted to at least some of them, since (despite what some ideologues insist) you can't reliably tell whether someone is trans or not at a glance.
