> The key observation about HTML templates is that usually large portions of them don't change with new data.

Isn't this a core idea underneath the https://fresh.deno.dev/ "islands" and I believe the https://astro.build/ framework when they confronted issues around hydration/SSR?

https://www.patterns.dev/posts/islands-architecture/

Clearly there's some overhead via the vDOM and simply using React-like templates when building large blocks of HTML. But if the bulk can be rendered server-side that overhead isn't an issue. So you can address this by simply reducing the data binding to the bare minimum of HTML that actually need to be interactive.

That way you can use the same templating and component systems app-wide but the default is still static-first.

That said - the Cons section notes: "The architecture is not suitable for highly interactive pages like social media apps which would probably require thousands of islands." But at that scale there's often far more performance concerns than vDOM vs compiler vs [some better optimized templating system], where the benefits aren't as straightforward (as linked below https://twitter.com/dan_abramov/status/1135423065570127872).
> Concentration will always happen, and it will always happen to the benefit of rural areas

Agreed! Both cities and rural areas benefit from each other, but I'm not confused as to what structure is dependent on the other. Cities don't produce their basic necessities and cannot exist without the rural areas. My response was to the poster claiming that rural areas are dependent on cities, when it is clearly not so.

> Farming villages are not all producing their own fertilizer from scratch, nor are they all manufacturing combine harvesters from locally-sourced iron

This iron and fertilizer is certainly not coming from the cities, but I know each region will have their niche. That's why I separated agriculture and raw materials production in the post.

> And agricultural areas are dependent on transport hubs

These hubs can and do exist without the cities. More and more of these are constructed outside of the cities because they are an inconvenience to the city populace. I think we will see the world moving even more in that direction. Especially modern delivery shopping has completely revolutionized how goods are acquired in rural areas. People who had to go to town to get things they needed now order online and wait for the truck to come around. If they order fertilizer or a combine harvester, those goods have probably not been in any city on their way from producer to customer.

> Likewise, facilities for essential high-skill services (e.g. advanced medical care) cannot sustainably be housed in every hamlet in the world.

Yes, I know of whole cities that are centered around hospitals and health care. It's one of those high skilled services that just have to be very centralized to be effective.

> This is only true for values of "exist" where small towns are reduced to primitive subsistence farming.

Who said the small town has to be cut off from the world?

QuantAQ | Full-stack Software Engineer | Boston, San Francisco, Remote (US) | Full-Time | https://quant-aq.com

At QuantAQ, we build air quality sensors and software to help customers measure, understand and act upon the air around them. In other words, digital twins for air quality. We're a very small team that is growing, profitable, and doing genuinely fun and impactful cleantech work.

We are looking to hire a software engineer to help us build out our cloud platform for air quality sensor networks: you'll have to be comfortable full stack, and hopefully you're a better front-end engineer than any of us are. Our web stack is mainly Python (flask), Postgres and Docker, with more buzzwords in the job ad.

To apply: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/quant-aq/72bb5a30-e771-4a1d-9162-a1...

That way does not give you runtime validation of input.

> California moved to statewide funding parity for schools and voters simply decided they don't want to pay taxes that aren't local.

Was there a reason given by these people for this? Or was it just "I don't want to pay for someone else". Because that is the core issue with US politics. Everything will improve if that goes away.

Yep, this is a big deal in gifted ed. "Twice exceptional" (gifted + very ADHD, to pick a common one) as they put it, is frequently encountered. Huge break-downs, depression, and disengagement when, eventually, the student has to actually start trying (which they may never have had to do before, at all, for potentially a decade or more of formal education) are common. Total failure to develop any kind of study habits is common, because, up to a point, they were never needed. Social problems due to having a brain, mental skills, language abilities, and knowledge, that are about half 7-year-old and half 25-year-old, are common (if not due to outright autism—see again, "twice exceptional").
Writing 'God' is disrespectful vs drawing God is disrespectful... Both of these are absurd. The above comment criticizing one while deferring from the other is comically absurd.
One sticking point for people might be the way push-to-talk works for the in-browser version; the shortcut to trigger it will only work when you have the browser window focused (I think due to limitations in how browsers can capture inputs when not focused, which is a pretty reasonable policy in general). Not only does this mean you'd need to alt-tab over whenever you want to push to talk (which isn't super easy for a lot of potential use cases, like gaming), but if I remember correctly from trying this out once, you can have even more jarring bugs like "alt-tab over to the browser to hit push-to-talk shortcut, hit the shortcut, alt-tab back before releasing so you can keep talking, and then having the push to talk never deactivate because the browser didn't detect the key-up event due to a different window having focus when it happened".

Does this work with arbitrary questions and does it summarise the questions? I find I tend to waffle on sometimes when asking questions (which could indicate a bad habit)
One modern alternative is "no religion", which is better than any religion that enforces this kind of crap. This is the position any modern governing entity should take.

I don't have a problem with religion in principle, only when it is used as justification to mistreat others, as is happening here. At that point any spiritual benefits it offers adherents are outweighed by the societal harm it causes. There are good religions like this, they just don't preach about exciting fire and brimstone from the pulpit.

> I'm trying to downplay the answer, explaining that it's more a statistical sentence-completing thing than world knowledge, and that the Ctrl+B might just have been a generic answer...

Yes; one of the problems seems to be that ChatGPT is playing right into some of our biggest cognitive loopholes: confirmation bias, selection bias, narrative bias. Like talking to fortune tellers, people only remember the right answers, or will silently contort the wrong ones to fit what they expected to hear.

I do believe that AI will continue to progress, but the current form is nothing but two mirrors face to face, with us standing in the middle.
I know this comment is a joke but in a big production environment, you eventually have to commit to a tech/stack. You can't just change everything every 2 years when a new hotness comes.

Let's call it vdata. Data diffing instead of DOM diffing.
Other big most visited web-pages need to degrade their connection in to Pakistan in solidarity with Wikipedia, if they care even one bit about free and open Web, otherwise it will never stop and more and more countries will use these methods to get their demands through.
This sounds a bit like what is discussed in the book "The Meritocracy Trap".

The idea being a hyper-competitive environment creates pyrrhic victories where even the winners are less well off. Your last sentence leaves the impression that those students aren't doing it for love of the work but only as a means to an end.

None of these services is Merchant of Record (that handles taxes). Neither is Stripe.

At this day and age, I don't understand why would any small to medium business that sells online internationally use anything else but Merchant of Records. International taxes are just a PITA that it's not worth trading a few percent of payment processor fee for a full-blown team of international tax accountants.
Mostly what other people say about online recipes is that they made something else by substituting one or all ingredients and altering the method.
Yes, but isn't it also the case that companies pay a monthly fee for those cards, offsetting against that?

> My own VPS will eventually be broken into if I don't maintain security updates

I believe that with the right choices in life, this risk can be minimized.

E.g. tighten your sshd_config and/or lock it behind a VPN, don't expose app servers directly, don't expose insecurely written software.

> For low access patterns, it's cheaper to pay for what you use.

Low-access patterns don't increase the number of $5/mo. VPS'es I run.

> something like Heroku, Amazon Lambda, or similar, but with an open, competitive ecosystem, and without vendor lock-in.

I sense that the economic incentives lean towards vendor lock-in.

Is the amount of lock-in bad? I would have thought that migrating a function is somewhat easy.
Gatsby Cloud, maybe?
> I was told OpenSSL 3 was bad for the longest time, I used 1.1x for everything, but switched to Libressl.

Not sure who told you OpenSSL 3 (2021) was bad. It postdates the period where OpenSSL might not have been the right choice. (Among other things, OpenSSL 3 unifies FIPS and non-FIPS consumers, which is nice if you need FIPS.)

> There was a dark period between 2010 and 2016 where OpenSSL might not have been the right answer, but that time has passed. OpenSSL has gotten better, and, more importantly, OpenSSL is on-the-ball with vulnerability disclosure and response.

> DCMS) had decided to give £12m of grant funding, which Tech Nation had relied on, to Barclays Bank

That is absolutely wild.. 12m to a bank surely is pocket change. What possible justification did they give for that?

They gave the funds instead to Barclays incubator who is a for profit organization.

Meaning they will simply push and invest in what is currently making money and not unproven technologies and sciences.

This won't end well long term i feel.
MAGA is the major counterculture at the moment (in the USA). It is different from others of the past (punk, hippies, the beats, racist, socialists, populists) but has the key markers such as rejecting the dominant paradigm, being big enough to write about but not big enough to be a movement, pulls largely from the dominant population group, has some but limited influence on the dominant culture, has its own “literature” and belief system, etc.

Note that what isn’t different is its dependence on telecommunications. I tried to think of legitimate countercultures before the late 1880s US populism but couldn’t. Regency fops didn’t count, nor did know-nothings.
Huh, I can’t remember the last time I’ve written a cover letter, or been asked to read one when interviewing in my 10 year long career. I feel like all these sorts of things happen better over a phone screen or an in person meetup and the resume step is for weeding out noise.

Especially in tech where you get fantastic ESL engineers who might struggle to write flowery prose about their skills but can document their code very well in English.
Saying they're fast is a relative statement. I primarily use an MNT Reform. On 4x ARM Cortex-A53 cores, most modern web apps are slow (the new reddit interface, the new gmail, virtually every airline booking UI, my music player of choice, etc.). I hate the web.
> in our, slovenian case, our prime minister at a protest for a healthcare reform

I'm a Stripe customer and logged in when viewing the page, it could depend on such factors. In UK English it still says I get the fee back.

I would say that not being able to filter notifications trashes the user experience. It's like not being able to filter email. Nobody who uses their phone or email for productivity would put up with it.
Speaking of AI, I think the image at the top of the blog post was generated by AI, maybe Stable Diffusion. I wonder what the prompt was.
Giving an "extreme" example turns your example into a flawed logic or apples/oranges comparison which gives no new insight into the original argument anymore.
How do you choose your initial GTM persona?
I think the environmental movement went seriously awry by aligning itself with socialist political goals. Socialism is nothing more than a way to monopolize corporate power for tremendous profits. Climate ideals of limiting carbon also diverted attention from real-world pollution concerns - like harm from large-scale mining operations.
I was thinking of how to improve DOM updates. One of ideas is to add Element.update() method:

Element.update(function(updateCtx) {
updateCtx.setInnerText(this, "new text");
updateCtx.setAttribute(this, "title", "new title");
...
});

This has two benefits: 1) transactional update, 2) for contenteditable scenarios it can group DOM mutations in atomic undo-able action.

But I've discarded that in lieu of Element.patch(vDOM):

Element.patch(<div title="new title">new text</div>);

as the later is more humanistic I would say.

Appearance and posing is critical in projecting dominance. Forty years ago, this was drilled into the young product managers at Spectra-Physics, and really, corporate uniforms have not changed much.

It's definitely how the US Congress works, which is really the only relevant consideration since the purse strings are controlled by Congress. Debt servicing costs and the cost of new debt have a direct impact on spending levels via the debt ceiling, which is controlled by Congress.

On an unrelated note, I'm not sure what modern money theories you're referring to, but the theories which purported that we didn't have to worry about inflation seem to be... slightly more out of favor than they were 1-2 years ago.
That's because most people can't draw.

A better example would be: could the average person accurately imagine a bicycle? Can their brain generate the correct image, even if they lack the skills to draw it?
