Just curious, why would you use both alpine and htmx? Do you use htmx for simple stuff, and alpine for more complex things?

I thought for a moment maybe the noun as an insult started with the Nazis, but no, the word goes back a long way.

p.s. I notice the vast majority of your HN comments are similarly very short and low-effort, with a lot of not-very-nice jabs at people on here. Doesn't make for pleasant reading.
I've worked at 3 different startups, which were all unique.

The first found good product/market fit and, though not profitable, had a solid customer base and a good technology. Founders were also knowledgable and well-connected in the space. On the negative side, the CEO lacked experience and was related to the principal of our main funder, and company debt load steadily grew over time as hiring and expansion outpaced growth. The dotcom crash also happened at this time. The company eventually exited (acquisition) with C-level getting retention packages from the acquiring company, and with shares worth zero dollars.

The second startup was the opposite. It was small and scrappy and had only taken $20k in seed money before becoming self-sustaining. We only grew as fast as we could afford to and never took any additional funding. While this was great from a financial perspective, it meant zero to no growth after several years. The founder wasn't looking for an exit, and enjoyed a nice income from the business. It's still going after 18 years.

The last one was also interesting. I rose to executive level there. We struggled with a long history (a few previous pivots before I joined) and funding that was on an ongoing, monthly basis. There was no cash pile to manage or be strategic about. We also had some trouble finding product market fit, but eventually found it, but lack of ability to market effectively, which greatly limited growth. The CEO also had a vision for the company that differed from the rest of the executive team, so when we eventually identified and pursued a strategy that led to our eventual acquisition, we had to half-ass it (i.e. couldn't fully reorient the company on it), which ultimately led to a reduced valuation when we were acquired. Again, stock was worth zero, but the main investor gave everyone in the company a cash bonus based on longevity and role, plus compensation from the acquiring company meant those remaining (everyone but sales and marketing) essentially got 20-30% raises. (that company's stock tripled after the acquisition, so everyone effectively got 50-100+% more out of the deal).

What did I learn from all of that? It's important to go into a startup with goals in mind. I wanted to learn, play a big role in a company, build cool stuff, and work with cool people. The nature of startups is often that if you want to do something, you can do it, because there's no one else. I learned an amazing amount in my day. My goal wasn't to get rich, so I viewed anything positive as a bonus, really. That said, things go better when the culture is one of working collaboratively with each other, vs. being adversarial. There should be a strong vision about goals for the company (lifestyle, exit, etc) and the product. Most of all, learn all you can about all of the things, and you'll be well set up for future experiences.
I highly recommend that you checkout Christian Medical College, Vellore in India. It's a multi-speciality hospital and college of high repute in Asia with 2000 doctors and 3000 nurses - https://www.cmch-vellore.edu/
You might have to work through this outside of the normal medical community. Have you looked into Rife frequencies and such?

It also does other IDE things like completions and MDN docs tooltips (quite handy for infrequent path authoring).

Don't remember why, but I also have a separate SVGO (sort of a formatter) extension.[1] Perhaps because of the brokenness in the other extension (noted on its marketplace page).

It generally is in my personal experience... But people don't like having to do work and want a quick surgical or medical fix.

Admittedly, the last mile is all Openeach, but operators like AAISP are much better at getting results out of Openreach than the big retailer operators. It's not perfect, and it's kind of bad a lot of the time; but it's still miles better than most of Canada, where major retail operators also own the last mile, and can't be bothered to fix anything for third-party providers on a decent timeline without a CRTC complaint.
Was excited to try it out but no audio here from the encoder, Safari on OSX. Plugging some text in, hitting encode, maybe I'm doing it incorrectly?
Yikes! There sure were problems with mental health treatment in the past. However, I'm not sure the answer is letting the mentally ill slowly die on the street. Perhaps there is a way to implement asylums for the mentally ill in a way that doesn't involve involuntary disfigurement and mental anguish bordering on torture.
Somebody needs to explain to me how a government could successfully shut down Bitcoin because I'm incredibly confused when people suggest this.

You can't stop people from meeting in person and trading things amongst themselves with cash. Banning cryptocurrency would require the same effort that would be needed to ban drugs and last time I checked the illegal drug market is huge even in countries where there's legal access. How will cryptocurrency be any easier to ban?
Why is ad hoc stuff like "Homebrew" still necessary on MacOS? Why hasn't MacOS adopted something official like .MSI files on Windows?
Can second that recommendation. On top of the good advice in the book about your back, the author also has a lot to say about the missteps a lot of doctors will make in treating back problems. Those missteps can serve as red flags in evaluating your medical practitioners.
I like the way you can see a sort of 'nutritional label' breakdown of what personal data iOS apps collect. You can see it clearly laid out before you download an app, so look for apps that collect nothing. This doesn't solve your problem, as in, you want a curated list of apps with good privacy, which I haven't seen yet. Although F-Droid maintains a good list, but it's Android only .APKs
It's similar in Europe. You need extreme rural conditions to be more than 30 minutes away from anything. Public transport is a mess in most rural places, with busses arriving maybe once an hour (two hours if you're unlucky) at bus stops in 5-50 minute walking distance.

That said, in The Netherlands, these places have also increased in prices. GP is underestimating correlation between rural and urban. If prices explode in the urban area, rural will generally see some increase too.
So in that stack Tetra would replace htmx (which is an awesome tool!) and takes control of your Alpine components.

Tetra provides the "glue" between Django and Alpine, but also encapsulates your components so all html/css/python/js thats related is next to each other. You wouldn't need to be writing views that return html fragments for htmx.

One of its big features though is that your server rendered views can be reactive, re-rendering on the server and updating in the browser based on user interactions a client side state changes. You have to write less glue code to make everything work with Tetra.
You're description of the versioning issue doesn't make much sense to me, at least assuming you're talking about editions. Editions are guaranteed to be supported indefinitely, and different crates can have different editions while still being entirely compatible with each other. So a 2032 compiler should be entirely able to continue compiling the 2018 project, even though the depended-on crate is now using the 2030 edition.

The way you describe yanking also seems a bit confusing. If the original project had a dependency that was yanked for security concerns, then the original project was already compromised in the first place. Even then, assuming the lockfile was checked in, then it should still be possible to download the yanked file (plus the compromising code, although the act of downloading a yanked file produces a warning, I believe). If you mean that the project was working fine (no compromise) and then a later version of the dependency was compromised, then no changes are needed at all - the lockfile will always ensure the exact same version is downloaded.

If you genuinely think you've found a situation that isn't solved by the edition mechanism, or by the judicious use of lockfiles for all projects, then I'm sure the Rust team would love to hear it (although I can't speak for them). But from what it sounds like, you're describing issues with the Node ecosystem and assuming they also apply to Rust, despite a number of differences in how the two ecosystems operate.
Imho, Spanner used to be on the expensive side. But with the introduction of "compute units" and now 4TB storage per node, the price for Spanner looks pretty great.

Don't you think laws will be written and advertised differently if every citizen has a chance to vote on them vs being slam dunk by the party in power?

There will still be well funded PR in a direct vote system, but it will hopefully be easier to expose and see the value of each law.

Sure the executive side of things can and should be improved, but it'll be harder, and I'd argue a different initiative.
>in germany and austria time limited renting contracts are illegal

No they're not illegal. In Austria you see time limited rental contracts all the time, usually 3 years. It's rare to find unlimited rental nowadays as landlords want to make money.
They do such a bad job with the context they currently have, that I can't see adding more context doing anything other than confusing them.
The key for the people who are poor is they need to stay in the house much longer than normal, so that they begin to get the advantages of inflation and growing principle payments.

But the working poor are also the most likely to have to change jobs, which either forces them into a long commute or having to sell the house before they're really built any equity.
I didn't know about reflection compatibility modes. Thanks!

I hope source generators will eventually replace reflection from most libraries, so that reflection-free mode can become more mainstream.
Power is the product of current and voltage. To transfer much power at a low voltage requires a large current. Supporting a large current without getting hot and melting requires large-diameter wire. Other components may also be bulky or expensive if they have high current-handling requirements.

I seem to recall that somewhere around 50 volts is a magic number from a safety/regulatory perspective. It might also have something to do with semiconductor breakdown voltage, but maybe I'm out of date on that.
It's not meant to be callous, it's meant to be accepting of the impermanence of all things.

Nothing lasts forever, my attitude is more about being ok with that.
This article makes no sense to me at all. How could hierarchy have more of an impact on income than occupation? Unless it's completely confounded with occupation to the point of basically being an alias for it, instead of an independent variable?
Yes, at 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0.

These are not useful choices for graphing decimal data or plotting metric measurements - which is why most graph paper I have ever encountered has 5 or 10 subdivisions.
Yes, along with Forward Medical which is a similar model but having tried both I think has better service/function
How close is this to something that would work with an off the shelf modem?
This seems like a great place to ask how the ever-loving shit you get a front-end project with simple NPM-fetched libraries to bundle into either a single .js file ready to go in a <script> tag, or a block of <script> tags with all the referenced .js files in a directory and ready to serve. Ideally with typescript support, but surely (ha. ha. ha. ha.) I can just tack that on top and point whatever-this-is at typescript's output directory and my package.json, so that shouldn't be a problem (yeah, right...).

I've written JS professionally for probably 12 or 13 out of the last 22 years, but I skipped the first couple iterations of frontend bundlers and tooling (kept rocking it old-school and just including plain .js files with script tags) until React, so I seem to have missed that intermediate phase, and now I cannot find it. I've lost probably 3 to 4 hours to trying to figure this out, last couple times I looked.
Ha! Good one! :-)

Perhaps some answers to the future questions may lie in the past. Is the current/new toolstack always better than the old one? I'm just curious. :-)

To some extent, true, it is an exercise in validating, say, business hypotheses. I guess it's quite normal for founders. However, I’m already VC backed, so I’m not sure if your friend is really onto something. ;-)

Thanks!
One Medical is mass-market quasi-concierge medicine. It's a good compromise for middle class people. But the level of service is starkly different between One Medical and MD2. As you should expect when the costs are two orders of magnitude apart.
The government deliberately made the gap. They're not going to cover it it.
Good if you can get it. I'm 30 miles east of Toronto and the max speed I can get from Bell is 40Mbs. In Toronto I had Bell and it was 1Gbit/1Gbit. Fastest connection I've had.

Rogers offer 1Gbit/50Mbit but without any competition they can name their price which is a ridiculous $115 + HST.

The trick in Canada is to sign up and then move to another provider within a few months. Retentions will call you and you'll get a more reasonable deal. I do this with Rogers and Fido (which Rogers own) every 12 months.
> Yes retina display is 2x. But saying a display is 4k doesn't tell anything about its pixel density or scaling.

I mean with fractional scaling where 1 < devicePixelRation < 2 you're doing it wrong and everything will look bad anyway, so I just assumed integer scaling. And 4K @100% is unusable anyway.

But more to the point you can't easily display those screenshots with different fractional scaling without pixel grid misalignment.

> On the other hand; from my own experience (I own linux, macos and windows pcs) on the same display Macos text rendering is much more sharper and pleasant to look at.

On hires displays (devicePixelRatio >= 2) you're probably just comparing default fonts. And on lowres display (devicePixelRatio = 1) OSX is much much worse than Windows's Cleartype, it's not even a contest.

Linux was always able to be as good as Windows on lowres displays, just was held back by patents, so the Freetype defaults used to suck, and you had to configure it yourself for the full effect.

Idk if it's any better nowadays, 4K display are so cheap and ubiquitous that I really don't get why anyone would buy anything else, except I guess gamers. But with all those AI scaling technologies (FSR 2.0 etc.) hopefully 1440p is on the way out.

CPUs are around 1-1.2v. However, they can occasionally pull 100-200+W. Moving 200W at 1V means 200A. Resistive losses scale proportional to amperage at constant voltage, and inversely proportional to voltage at constant power. 200A needs a LOT of copper to not get blistering hot, the amount you would find in all the traces connecting a CPU to the VRMs on the motherboard, probably around 4 ounces just to carry the power a few inches. 200W at 12V is 16.7A, which can be shuttled much longer distances with less material at the same efficiency, in the ~foot long cable between the PSU and motherboard. Additionally, pluggable connectors are high resistance spots in the circuit unless they make very good contact, and susceptible to overheat and melt when carrying too much current.
I'd considered that route, but my car is paid for and insurance and registration is pretty cheap in my state. Also, my recreation needs would drive the price of using rentals through the roof.

It would have worked better when I lived in a place with good public transportation.

Not sure why you're being downvoted. Maybe because some people perceive this as unfair - which it certainly is. It doesn't change the facts though. It is what it is.
To be clear, "Ubuntu 22.04's new OOM killer" is systemd. Why do we keep taking responsibilities away from the kernel and other programs that are good at handling them, only to give them to systemd for this kind of thing to happen?
... and largely, when American companies set up shop in Canada, they create a wholly owned subsidiary that is a Canadian company. I.e. McDonald's Canada and General Motors Canada are separate entities from their parent organizations.

Fun fact posted here before: The McDonald's locations that were recently shuttered in Russia were specifically founded by McDonald's Canada.
Completely false, and an attempt at character defamation while sidestepping the facts.

It really depends. I know plenty of people that are "fitness instructors" (mainly yoga and Pilates teachers) and I'd recommend them over regular PT in most situations. They know a ton about anatomy, how to read body imbalances, and can work with you to train your body back from injury.

Personally, I had a debilitating shoulder injury, couldn't put any weight on my right arm at all, and one of my yoga teachers put me on the path of fixing it up. Same with a low back injury, I couldn't even sit at one point and she helped fix me.

I'd 100% recommend someone with back pain visit a highly trained yoga or Pilates teacher. Some Pilates studios even take health insurance, since some are considered PT.
IIRC, there was a US Navy ship whose stations had physical buttons, knobs, and switches that were software controlled, as in they mapped to different function depending on if the operator selected the weapons, or navigation, or radar, etc. functions.

You still had the tactile interface, but you gained the flexibility of the dynamic interfaces.

Not sure how well it performed though.
I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. Unfortunately, sometimes you have to be really pushy with doctors. They are under a lot of time pressure and aren't always spending the time with you that you may need. You need to be your strongest advocate, sometimes that means getting aggressive with demanding support.
Marketing/Sales is basically everything. People would be doing everything but marketing and acquiring users, and this of course led to the downfall of the startup.
You may use reader view, or zoom in. I opine that good design isn't just about being usable to the lowest common denominator (like huge font for grannies) but rather giving the user the power to customize their own experience.

> Simplicity. Zig has no macros and no metaprogramming

This one is an odd point; this very article is a demonstration of metaprogramming*:

> Thanks to Zig’s type reflection we can read a row of data into a user-provided type without needing to write any “mapping” function: we know the type we want to read (here the User struct) and can analyse it at compile-time.

Can you elaborate please? Why will the private care in the UK suffer if NHS starts to break down?

And, will NHS really break down? I know it has been considered many times but enough of the population seems to be against the idea that I suspect it may not break down soon. Do you have any reason to believe it may break down?
Check your loan documents, mine have often had a "if valuations go up you can pay for an appraisal when you cross 20% or it's assumed if valuations have gone up enough AND enough time has passed".

Usually it auto-expires when you pass the 20% equity mark based on original sale price.

It's easier with a local lender as opposed to someone who sold off the mortgage, of course.

My employer provides something similar. While it's certainly no MD2, it's also starkly better than going through the general medical system.
Until recently NBN fiber connections only came with 2 Mbps of bandwidth. Any usage over that was billed at $8 per Mbps to the ISP.

In other words, an ISP customer taking full advantage of their gigabit fiber connection could cost the ISP almost $8000 per month.

And that was just the cost for the local bandwidth in Australia. Add all the costs for cross connects and Internet capacity in addition to all the normal costs of running a business.

Obviously this was and is a millstone around the ISPs’ neck. You can find a plethora of complaints and write ups on the ISP business in Australia illuminating the extremely thin or negative margins in the business.

The only thing that kept the ISPs in business was statistical multiplexing at scale and aggressive traffic shaping.
>People also wildly underestimate just how much taxes and maintenance can be, because they're not monthly - if you have to escrow taxes it's more noticeable, and if you correctly account for maintenance it's surprisingly high, even on relatively new homes.

Even if a house is fully paid off, there are a ton of expenses that relate to ongoing maintenance of a house and property that really can add up--plus taxes and insurance as you say. The details vary by age, location, type of property etc. But $1K/month is not unreasonably high especially given that a lot of homeowners will have some sort of expensive job (some of which are admittedly upgrades) every handful of years or so which will easily chew through a year of that budget.
$50 sounds like an OK amount for rent to increase per month at lease renewal. In the last few years, many of my friends have had rent rise by $200-800/mo in a single renewal. Hell, the apartment I just moved from is renting for $600 more than I paid for it per month! That's more expensive than the house I'm renting right now.
My understanding is that 50V is the established threshold above which safety to humans starts to be a factor. So, applications that want high powers, without the penalty of large wires nor the penalty of the safety requirements of an HV system, converge to 48.
