unfortunately not one I can think of without htmx being baked in to HTML

which, I think should be the case: I don't think htmx should have to exist, I think this is just how HTML should work. That could address a lot of accessibility and progressive enhancment issues as well.
While I am not a fan of Facebook/Meta, I actually hope that they do not lose this case. If you want to name your company after a word that is in common usage, then you should have to deal with the fact that others may use the same word for their own purposes. JP Morgan seems like a name that hardly limits anyone trying to name their company. Apple or Meta are just words in common usage.
After talking with them on the phone, they just tell me they are sure they billed the right person. And insist i pay. Even after i explain it was certainly not me.
It's interesting that the author notes that, as far as he's aware, nobody's ever undeleted something. It could be true. But I'm wondering if maybe he simply hasn't seen it first-hand since the action of recovering something is often handled by a customer-facing team and not by a developer.

Doesn't really matter unless you're targeting low-bandwidth customers. The Amazon homepage is ~4MB, and an average user session is going to downloading many times that in additional images and markup while browsing. In that context, React or other JS files will be single-digit percentage of what was downloaded.
> For many today, computers are a complete mystery - indeed I'd hazard that proporptionally far more people know nothing concrete about how computers work than did when I was a kid. They have become magical devices that seem beyond comprehension for many, and I think that's to the detriment of everyone.

Yeah but did you understand how RAM chips worked? How processors worked? How registers and power supplies worked? Could you wire wrap a board? The previous generation of computer users knew how those things worked and often wired them up themselves.

Most of these arguments are emotional. We, as computer practitioners, are dismayed that the general public doesn't value our knowledge. But should they? Are the kids who actually want to learn about computers not able to learn about them?

I grew up fairly poor as a kid in the '80s-90s and most of my friends didn't have access to a computer at home. They learned the bare minimum they needed in the school library to finish homework assignments but otherwise didn't care. I was interested in computers and would go dumpster diving to find parts, but my friends didn't care. I'd say the cohort that had the money, time, and inclination to have computers as kids in the 1980s was much smaller than those who want to nowadays.
And probably never useful (for individuals at least).
> I believe Google's use of this practice also predates widespread support of Content Security Policy, which isn't to say that this is a useless practice, but perhaps it isn't as important as it used to be.

Perhaps not, but I still think it's quite worthwhile to defend against CSP-related browser bugs, or even a botched infra change on Google's side that accidentally drops the CSP header.
The Twitter board agreed to sell the company, for cash, for $44 billion. Without overcomplicating things too much, it’s not actually the case that a Delaware corporation must maximize the value to the shareholders in every circumstance … except for this one, in which they - having agreed to put the company up for sale - must maximize shareholder value.

So to the extent Twitter is currently worth less than $44 billion and there’s a binding merger agreement that delivers $44 billion of value to the shareholders, the board has to do something to bridge that gap. A billion-dollar break fee ain’t gonna cut it. But sure, if at the end of the day the shareholders can retain ownership of Twitter, Inc. worth $25 billion (and the value of the company hasn’t been irreversibly impaired by this circus) and extract a $20 billion settlement from the acquirer, then were I a Twitter board member, I wouldn’t feel too worried giving my deposition about that outcome.

Still not a great look for anyone though.

I use soft deletes in our system and literally used it to restore an accidentally deleted item about 3 hours ago. Took a second to toggle the deleted item.

I don't get how this rocket science. Almost every query in the system is some kind of where clause on a fk to account or user or project or some other critical object ... so there are only a few places in the ORM where I need to support this.
I think a more apt example is Oracle, which is used in a lot of their branding.

I don't know if it's an age/generation thing but most of the comments here pointing implementations of the product for why it wasn't as big are just ... unusual. Vine was very much getting the heat and traction that TikTok now has. The "evidence" is that tons of later youtubers got their start and developed successful followings from being so hot on vine.

I'm sure it would have evolved to have a little bit longer content eventually. The reason it was killed was entirely unrelated to the quality and vitality of the product and the community around it. Businesses fumble.
As bikes go electric, it would be good to have them all required to have transponders. We just have to make it a requirement to have them on all the time, then we won't be plagued with this bike theft.

This is great advice. To tack on:

Python has had built-in virtualenv support since 3.3[1], meaning that you can do this:

python -m venv env/

...on any version of Python released in the last decade and get a reasonable virtual environment. To go one step further, you can also have `venv` automatically bring `pip` and `setuptools` to their latest versions:

python -m venv --upgrade-deps env/

...which you should almost always do, since the versions bundled with your Python distribution are likely to be behind the latest.
I disagree with the headline claiming that this is "desperately needed". Is the current interface amazing? Not at all, but it's fine and predictable, and doesn't often go out of it's way to be difficult.

By comparison I think Netflix's design is god awful. The autoplaying videos/previews, useless ratings, nonsense categories, and constant reshuffling of the UX make it maddening to use.

Chasing after Netflix with a knockoff of their design is about the last thing I ever want from a software product.

Not really sure what your point is. I did read the article. I didn't comment on TikTok, which would be legally required (and I am sure compliant, although they deny that in the article) to hand data over to the Chinese government. I commented on Twitter, which was hacked by amateurs, and absolutely could have been considerably harder as a target.
> I do fear the fed isn’t doing what it needs to because they’re afraid of being seen as political, one way or the other.

I agree and I wish this mindset would disappear. Of course a central bank is political. It’s job is to keep a working economy. There are few other institutions that affect directly so many people every day, it’s the definition of politics. They might not like the optics, but each of their decision is just as political as one from any government agency.

There is some sense in insulating them to some degree from short-termist elected politicians looking for a windfall, but their smug “I know better” attitude (and the lack of accountability) is deplorable.

Sorry, that was a bit of a rant, but we should remember that a central bank is there to serve a country, not the opposite.
This reads like more of an attack than a question. Even though I prefer React over HTMX, I think the difference is pretty clear, as well as the intention of this article. In particular, this quote from the article is most relevant

> In HTML-Centric Development, rather than being an afterthought, HTML is embraced as the primary medium of application development. This is in contrast to most SPA frameworks, where a client-side model & the javascript that manipulates it is the central focus.

If you read the authors other post about REST [1], they also talk about how most SPAs communicates with the server via JSON, whereas HTMX uses HTML. This is also part of the HTML centric design. You embed the fetching logic into the HTML, and the server returns HTML directly, so there's less work done on the client, in constrast to most SPA frameworks.

Is there any technical reason that the MD format cannot be used to store arbitrary data and not just audio?
1. it's expanding the scope of "self-host". i'm sympathetic to anti-prescriptivists, but when self-hosting is something i care about and strive for i don't want for its definition to weaken without myself having a fallback phrase to use in place of the original "self-host".

2. his argument for moving away from MS GitHub is based on the understanding that license enforcement is lax in the modern era. the reasons he can expect to have greater license enforcement on a VPS than on MS GitHub may be real, but aren't immediately obvious to me. the most bulletproof defense seems to be one of obscurity: it takes a VPS provider more effort to decode his git repos than it does a managed git provider. any other defense i can come up with for why a VPS would enforce data agreements ought to apply similarly to GitHub (which is evidently not true).

i admit that a VPS achieves certain things better than self-hosting (as you say, it's easy to migrate, or deploy to multiple machines and have failover/load-balancing, etc). if the author is making a tradeoff between that and his license ideals, then his current solution might very well be right for him. on the other hand, if he prioritizes his license ideals as much as his post makes it seem, then he's already done half the work to go full self-hosting and may as well take the next step (as he says, "one day is worth it for a project that's going to have 10,000 hours of investment").

> That isn't possible on any current midsize and up pickups.

Yes it is. Or maybe I'm just tall enough? I do it all the time. I can't reach the middle of full size trucks with both feet on the ground, but I never could with older full size trucks, either.
> To be clear, this is "forever"

I guess I didn't finish my thought in that comment, because it isn't forever... it's only until either the C++ is gone, or the Rust language has developed an equally acceptable alternative (which could be upstreamed by Google, or come from somewhere else).

And realistically, the C++ would never have to go away entirely for this UB handling fork to become unnecessary, depending on the driving factors. Some code paths are more performance sensitive than others, and these tend to represent a small portion of the overall code. Once the performance sensitive code paths are rewritten, it matters less whether there is a small performance penalty for the remaining C++ code that is less sensitive to performance. But, at Google Scale, the cost of the developer-hours to maintain that fork would probably be less than the cost of the small increase in CPU hours that removing the fork would result in, so... yeah, maybe forever or until there is an upstream solution. Maintaining a patchset like this would still cost way less than maintaining an entire compiler and all the language tooling needed to support that language... does anyone really disagree? A new language is far more than just a compiler, let alone a patch for a compiler.

After having two bikes stolen at once, I bought Tile trackers for a bunch of my possessions and hid one on my new bike. The tracking in Seattle is good in places with a lot of people around, pretty coarse in other areas, but I'm hoping that it will at least give me a direction to head in if this bike is ever stolen. I'm wondering whether anyone has a recommendation for a bike GPS tracker though. The ones I see generally look too obvious, have expensive subscriptions, need charging every day, etc.

Hotz doesn't share your Tesla hate.

He said numerous times, publicly, that Tesla will most likely win self driving. He doesn't think FSD is Fools Self Driving. He thinks FSD is ahead of openpilot.

Hotz positions comma.ai as Android to Tesla's iOS i.e. a solution that is a little bit later and a little worse than FSD but open to all and better than 3rd or 4th best proprietary solution like cruise or waymo.

Your skepticism is fine, but you are not really educated on Comma's product at all.

Comma uses a very strong adhesive for the mount, and then the Comma housing slides into that mount very securely. I don't think it is any more likely to fall off than your rear view mirror is (which also uses an adhesive).

Comma isn't a purely optical system, it also uses the car's forward radar information in addition to its cameras.

Comma does not pretend to be a fully self-driving system (yet), and in fact it has a camera facing the driver and will warn you if you are not paying attention or disengage if you are not paying attention long enough. It's a tool to make driving easier and safer.

I'm quite confident if you sat in my car while Comma was driving you would be shocked at how good it is.
Specifically thinking about nostalgic air-travel, perhaps some things seem lower-quality because they simply cost less (after inflation adjustments) than before.

That said I still wouldn't dare suggest a 1:1 relationship between the trends.
Uhhh no they aren’t, we have working quantum computers today
I think the implication is more than they upgrade to a newer version of the hardware. Not that they stop using it.
If you’re the kind of person who learned orbital mechanismcs through Kerbal Space Program and deepened you understanding of backpressure and supply chains with Factorio, and you are looking for a similar way to get a deeper feel for water resource management, can I suggest taking a look at Timberborn, the post-apocalyptic beaver simulator. You have to figure out how to engineer a reliable water supply in the face of epic dry season droughts.

In the early days of color film, the only way to get Kodak color film processed was by Kodak. Kodak as the only processing option goes all the way back to the Kodak No. 1 camera in the 19th century.

Kodak produced a lot of roll film cameras that took unusual formats that practically speaking only Kodak sold.

https://www.brownie-camera.com/film.shtml

This continued into the 1970’s with with the Kodamatic instant film formats.

While there were technically speaking other manufacturers of disc film and disc cameras, practically speaking they were synonymous with Kodak brand. That near exclusive film format only ceased manufacture in 1999.
It's fun to imagine an alternate species that can plan practically for the future. Even a simple rule or two... like "don't put cities in inhospitable places" would be transformative. We've got plenty of room in places that aren't completely barren and devoid of water, though these pesky (and mostly imaginary) borders often manage to get in the way.
Wonder what will be the next javascript of today ?
There are several categories of computational problems where quantum computers will be able to solve at better computational complexity compared to classical computers. One famous example would be Shor's algorithm. It's considered to be a practical threat to many public key cryptography depending on integer factorization being hard.
> Wait, why are books, magazines, newspapers, newsletters, pamphlets, & flyers a bad faith analogy?

Because they're comparing an individuals blog or Twitter profile to those things, of which they are not analogous. Not to mention you use rhetoric like this:

> If copyright maximalists & DRM fans

It just goes to show the juvenile nature that some people will stoop to in order to prove their point. In this case, "some people" is you. Not everybody out here are the little demons you've dreamed up in your soul; most of the people responding on this thread are just privacy advocates who have seen how these policies go wrong, often first-hand. A little further down the thread someone makes a very salient point about the queer community and how these tools are used in unmasking.

> Nor, allege criminality or 'bad-faith' against people just using the worldwide-web as it was designed, and enjoying readers' rights as they've been traditionally interpreted.

The internet as a technological invention did not arrive with legalities already paved. They were very much in flux and have been in flux. It's okay if you don't like that, but asserting that the internet was created with commons as the default is junk; that's a very US-American law that has dominated cultural perception. Meanwhile, on the other side of the pond, we have countries figuring out nuanced ways to implement the right to be forgotten - notice none of that legislation is geared towards large corporations, it's focused on individuals.

Getting to the rest of your argument that wasn't distastefully written: I do agree that it shouldn't be a copyright free for all, but you can't have the Internet Archive and other folks creating weapons. There should be limits on both ends and I don't think those exist.

One really obvious limit is stop treating government entities and individuals the same. Stop treating large publishers and individuals the same. The former have immense resources to coordinate their communication and undergo thorough review processes, so their publications are more well thought out. Most blogs and social media posts are not nor do they have the same level of impact. Privacy advocates wouldn't need a copyright crutch if people could summon enough humanity and empathy to understand that. That would separate privacy advocates from copyright trolls on this issue.

You can only do this if when you first realize you are being asked to do something illegal you turn them in. You are often then askes to collect evidence for a few months.
