I often work on an old ColdFusion application.

It's amusing that for a long time the response was "oh man that sounds terrible".

Now it is "oh hey that's server side rendered ... is it a new framework?".

The cycle continues. I end up writing all sorts of things and there are times when I'm working on one and think "this would be better as Y" and then on Y "oh man this should be Z". There are days where I just opt for using old ColdFusion... it is faster for somethings.

Really though there's so many advantages to different approaches, the important thing is to do the thing thoughtfully.
> Managing state on both the client and server

This is a necessity as long as latencies between the client and server are large enough to be perceptible to a human (i.e. almost always in a non-LAN environment).

[edit]

I also just noticed:

> ...these applications will be unusable & slow for those on older hardware or in locations with slow and unreliable internet connections.

The part about "slow and unreliable internet connections" is not specific to SPAs If anything a thick client provides opportunities to improve the experience for locations with slow and unreliable internet connections.

[edit2]

> If you wish to use something other than JavaScript or TypeScript, you must traverse the treacherous road of transpilation.

This is silly; I almost exclusively use compiled languages, so compilation is happening no matter what; targeting JS (or WASM) isn't that different from targeting a byte-code interpreter or hardware...

--

I like the idea of HTMX, but the first half of the article is a silly argument against SPAs. Was the author "cheating" in the second half by transpiling clojure to the JVM? Have they tested their TODO example on old hardware with an unreliable internet connection?
I quit my computer job and bought a hotel. Now writing all kinds of tools/apps to help in the operation.
Ive been thinking about this a lot. I feel the only way to get any credibility with food is to be a professional chef, otherwise no one seems to care? Or do something crazy like uproot your entire life and dedicate it to one cuisine like mark wiens did and create content for a western audience. but that seems to extreme for me.
I actually like to use worker class and owning class. Bosses (including CEOs) are apart of the owning class. CEOs being employers is just semantics, they are still bosses, and is the reason I use the word workers to make it clear.

Well paid google workers are still workers and deserve our solidarity. Making a distinction among workers between lower classes, and middle and upper class only serves to divide us, destroy our solidarity, and for our bosses to keep exploiting us.
It is not suggesting that. On the server, you can use your language of choice to generate complete or partial HTML responses to be sent and then put in the right places on the page by JavaScript (htmx) running on the browser.
Sure! Both of those are very suitable above-the-knee summer dresses and absolutely fine on a bike.

Below the knee, or full-length, and you start to have problems. Nice to have the option of an enclosed space if you’re going somewhere where the clothes matter.
Both sides are out of ammo nowadays, but mr Prigozhin links to Russian's military handbook which defines that he needs a hundred times more than he have in order for guaranteed destroy on enemy on such a length of a frontline that Wagnerians have. He even tells that he does not need exactly as much but at least not 1%. Personally my opinion is that mr Prigozhin actively hides a lot of ammo from Putin in order to being able to defeat Putin's forces when the time will come.
I disagree with just about everything from detail to the underlying principles.

But by god it was a fun show to watch!
Tinc was my goto for years, but there is a non-trivial performance penalty for it's userspace implementation.

If you can enumerate all your endpoints into wireguard, and squint, it'll kinda-sorta act like a mesh.

And if you want to go a little crazy with it, You can run https://github.com/m13253/VxWireguard-Generator + babeld, and get routing around failures in the mesh.
Employee happiness shouldn’t be your top priority.
> Is this suggesting writing any language we want in the browser?

Nope, server
I think you misunderstand.

The people I show it to are surprised that it's possible in 2023, even though it was demoed at the end of 2010.

Not only have they never heard of Word Lens, they are also obvious of the corresponding feature of Google Translate.
I'm sorry, but these arguments are so tired.

> SPAs have allowed engineers to create some great web applications, but they come with a cost:

> Hugely increased complexity both in terms of architecture and developer experience. You have to spend considerable time learning about frameworks.

Yes, better quality software usually packages a bit more complexity.

SPAs are popular, just like native apps, because people don't like jarring reloads. Webviews in native apps are panned for a reason; turning your whole app into a series of webviews would be stupid, right?

> Tooling is an ever-shifting landscape in terms of building and packaging code.

I've used these 4 libraries to build apps since 2015:

* React
* MobX
* D3
* Webpack

The only one I have had pain with is react-router-dom, which has had 2 or 3 "fuck our last approach" refactors in this time. And I added TypeScript in 2018.

PEBCAK

> Managing state on both the client and server

It's a lie that a thin client isn't managing state; it's just doing a static, dumb job of it.

Imagine some cool feature like... collaborative editing.

How would you pull that off in HTMX?

> Frameworks, on top of libraries, on top of other libraries, on top of polyfills. React even recommend using a framework on top of their tech:

Yes, React is famously not a batteries-included library, while Angular is. But, as addressed, you need about 3 other libraries.

Besides, did you know: HTMX is also a framework. Did you know: HTMX also has a learning curve. Did you know: HTMX forces you to be able to manipulate and assemble HTMLstrings in a language that might not have any typing or tooling for that?

Anyways, I've said enough. I should've just said what I really think: someone who can't even get their nested HTML lists to actually indent the nesting shouldn't give advice on building UIs.
I was being vague, but I meant those questions in the context of an ML model.

ML models are completely inference-based. They have zero symbolic definitions. They don't categorize subjects at all.

Because of that, you can't tell a model how many X to draw.
Regarding schools you have both the university of Iowa and Iowa state. I feel like those are both good schools, I had a family member go to Iowa state's PHD program and it was one of their top choices(for their profession).

As for letting children(teenagers in this case) work earlier(and longer) I feel conflicted. In some sense the mantra that has been pushed on the past 2-3 generations has been everyone has to get a college degree or you will be considered a failure to society. That statement has been categorically wrong and has lead to a glut of people with college degrees and mountains of student loan debt from an imbalance in the workforce of too many college educated workers. The reality is the economy needs blue collar jobs and some do pay very well. Also some people are not cut out for college and pushing them into a institution they do not want to attend is bad for both the college and the individual. I feel like Germany has this problem figured out well with solid paths to high paying blue collar professions via apprenticeships and such. I wish the US had something similar and Obama's push for community colleges was a step in the right direction. Getting teenagers into blue collar apprenticeships gives them a head start in their careers and they still need parental approval for starting these jobs.

That being said there is also a trap that having a 14-16 year make pretty good money in high school (via trades or apprenticeships) can dissuade them from ever getting into college, which they may excel at but never go that route due to financial loss of lost wages by attending college(and not working). Unsure what the solution is here but could see this change of law being abused by some and helpful for others(those who are headed for a blue collar profession).

Sure, some stuff doesn't run on ARM, but a lot does. Plus, you can get decent ARM processors for cheap, whereas for the same price the best you'd get would be a Celeron.
Just have to pay attention and be picky while shopping for the mini pc. Yes most of them are way over 15W but you can find them under 15W. My Quieter3Q for instance is fanless & runs on a Celeron in just 15W. I love it, but one annoyance is, it does not come back on by itself after a power interruption.
But that isn't because of the technology, it's because all the devs writing shitty MPAs are now writing shitty SPAs. If this becomes popular, they will start writing shitty MPAs again. Nothing about this technology will stop that.

This is only sort of true. The problem can be mitigated to a large extent by frameworks; as the framework introduces more and more 'magic' the work that the developer has to do decreases, which in turn reduces the surface area of things that they can get wrong. A perfect framework would give the developer all the resources they need to build an app but wouldn't expose anything that they can screw up. I don't think that can exist, but it is definitely possible to reduce places where devs can go astray to a minimum.

And, obviously, that can be done on both the server and the client.

I strongly suspect that as serverside frameworks (including things that sit in the middle like Next) improve we will see people return to focusing on the wire transfer time as an area to optimize for, which will lead apps back to being more frontend than backend again. Web dev will probably oscillate back and forth forever. It's quite interesting how things change like that.
I don't understand why you can't use libgen, which has quite an extensive collection. Why only Z-library?
An employee of Google who jumped from the Google office is a pretty obvious connection. Don't really see how this is clickbait.
I agree that there are quirks of the ACH system. Thankfully banks are very risk averse and do thorough vetting before allowing merchants to initiate debits. As a consumer you have a 60 day window to initiate a return, this can be done by reaching out to your bank. Returns are a first class entry in the ACH world, so much so that they are the reason a lot of merchants don’t like ACH.
There's a world of difference between saying "you're a hypocrite, stop talking" and adding (uncomfortable) context to a discussion.
As others have noted, geothermal vents could provide a place for life to get started, as it is thought to have occurred here.

One thing that I think is important to consider is that what is really needed is an energy gradient which can be leveraged to do the work of creating all the different kinds of compounds one would need to produce something we'd call "alive".

I think the other article from quanta about "assembly theory"[1] is a good one to consider in this context. What would be the "Assembly Contingent" of a world like Europa or these other moons?

My guess would be that there might be enough material and energy potential to allow pathways to bacteria analogues (not that these def exist, but they're possible), but not nearly enough to support the variation and specialization required to reach multi-cellular life.

The first linked paper defines a ritual as "(a) predefined sequences that are characterized by rigidity, formality and repetition that are (b) embedded in a larger system of symbolism and meaning, but (c) contain elements that lack direct instrumental purpose".

Doing ctrl-alt-delete to get the attention of a Windows computer certainly fits (a) but it doesn't fit (b) without a considerable stretch and it doesn't fit (c) at all.

(The second linked paper quotes the first paper's definition, or something basically indistinguishable from it; the paper itself isn't about saying what rituals are, it's about exploring why they exist. Very little of what it says about that is applicable to ctrl-alt-delete.)

It's absolutely true that "ritual" doesn't just mean religious ritual. But it's also not as broad as "anything that people repeatedly do in more or less the same way".
> with carsharing programs providing cars as needed for highway driving

I feel like this is the missing piece for me for the car-less life I dream of: what to do when I want to take a few-day trip to any of the beautiful places in easy driving distance of my dense urban core?

Car sharing is an option, but it's quite expensive. If I take a zipcar for 1 drive out to a campground on a Friday, then 1 drive back on a Sunday, I'm spending $240 or more.

You can argue that the cost of car rental is way less than the amortized cost of an actual car, but a $5k used vehicle pays for itself after 20 such trips.

I don't know a great solution here. Trains + long-distance buses only work if you're going exactly where they're going, or if you're headed to another city with good post-train transit options. Rent other people's unused cars (à la Getaround)? Prices for that seem to be barely better than Zipcar. Maybe rentable driverless cars, eventually: they can drive me to the campground, then drive themselves to the nearest town and rent themselves out to other people for the weekend until I need them again? I dunno.
I'm moonlighting as an airline pilot, the best part of this job is that you don't have to think about it after you finish for the day.

Right, makes sense. But then what do you actually do with a database?

Starting with: what do you store in it?

Maybe sentence/vector pairs. But what does that give you? What do you do with that data algorithmically? What's the equivalent of a SELECT statement? What's the application that benefits an end user? That part still seems rather hazy.

I'm curious how safe (physically, not career-wise) different trades are for people with ADD.

As a software developer, I get by with a combination of Adderall / Vyvance, software tests, and the freedom to take a day off if I'm feeling particularly flaky.

But I'd imagine that doesn't work with e.g. industrial / commercial electrical work. Partly because schedules assume you're rarely out sick, and partly because making a mistake can kill you or other people.

Good lord!

> Apparently a lot of US business sites refuse to connect from oversea IP because of too many hacking attempts, or they just don't want to deal with it.

Yes, and it's infuriating. For example, it was (and probably still is) impossible to access the NY MTA's OMNY portal from many, but curiously not all, European countries. The OMNY system itself works using foreign cards, but this makes it very annoying to download receipts for expense reports.

Another fun one was not being able to cancel some streaming service from outside of the US due to the service geoblocking their account management site as well. I actually had to use a VPN to cancel!

There are countless other examples.

A JIT compiler doesn’t operate at that compile time, so it simply doesn’t have to solve it statically — it notices that this invocation at this place always uses 46 for n, so it can use it as a constant for its compilation, at which point it is more than possible to elide many checks.

In C#, this might actually be secure. There is a compiler option that enables overflow checking for all math in your code (but not in your dependencies). But I suppose the decompiler would have put a checked() around the operation in that case.
