Technically, you can probably opt out of taxes in return for opting out of using tax-funded services and infrastructure, especially in the U.S. and other countries with vast tracts of wilderness: just hike a few days into the woods/mountains, vanish into public lands and do not interact with society anymore. Of course, no libertarians actually go that far, because if they admit to it or not, they are pretty happy to accept the benefits of taxation (roads, police, emergency medical attention, the military, courts, etc.) even if they publicly decry any attempt at funding it. My impression is that libertarianism is basically an attempt by pretty well-off people to create a pseudo-scientific reason for them to free ride on the contributions of others to society.

Meanwhile, folks are crowing about how great the vibe is on the platform, and how welcoming it is to victimized communities.

It's, what, 60,000 people?

All invite-only?

With a campaign specifically targeting Twitter power-users?

And very actively curated to push out troublemakers?

Yeah, of course the vibe is good. Now. Let's see what it's like when there's a few million folks on the platform with a small but vocal percentage actively engaging in harassment.

Edit to add:

Now, if they do live up to the hype--if they succeed in building an open, federated, protocol-first social platform that somehow also manages to bolt on opt-in algorithmic curation, moderation, and so forth--then that's great!

But they're a private company, operating a very small platform right now, so it's simply too early to tell if they'll manage to live up to their promises.
I don't think the recursion in this case is dynamically dispatched. It returns a dyn Future, but that isn't the same thing.

Ariane 5 had some commercial success but rocket development was always funded by member states.
> I'd hope there aren't actually hours of meetings for a single $5/mo VM?

Slightly exaggerated in the case of the $5 machine, probably 2-3 manhours total but it took 4 days for it to be deployed instead of ~5 minutes. We did spent tens of hours justifying why the business should spend ~$100 more per month on a production system where the metrics clearly indicated that it was resource constrained.

The same IT department that demanded we justify every penny spent did not apply any of that rigour to their own spending. Control over the deployment of resources was used as a political tool to increase their headcount.

> I would hope there are reviews and meetings when deploying enough of these to amount to real money. Companies that don't do that soon enough find themselves with a million dollar AWS bill without understanding what's going on.

I consider the judicious use of resources to be part of my job as a software engineer. A development team that isn't considering how they can reduce spend, tidy up, or right-size their resources is a massive red flag to me. Organisations frequently shoot themselves in the foot by shifting that responsibility away from the development team. The result is usually factional infighting and more meetings.
Having a waitlist was a smart approach for Bluesky. Gives them an opportunity to scale and polish the user experience while building hype for people without an invite.

Server-side apps cannot provide optimistic UI. No matter how you feel about it, they are limited in this capability compared to client-side apps. The user doesn’t care about the technology. For example, imagine a todo app that shows a new todo immediately. Or form validations that happen as soon as data is entered. That’s a superior experience to waiting on the server to continue interaction. Whether that’s harder to engineer is irrelevant to the user. We should be striving for the best possible user experience, not what we as engineers personally find easy or comfortable.

HTMX is cool. HTMX may fit your needs. But it’s not enough for providing the best possible user experience.
I don't think it's at all fair for you to demand high-effort rebuttals while putting in no effort on your own. You're asking people to respond to thousands of words that you didn't write, and you're not even engaging with the content of a 100-word reply that you specifically asked for.

Lucky core dev here! I've been using Crystal in production since about 2017. I love the language, but there's definitely some hard tradeoffs which are mentioned in this thread. Our larger app has some serious compile time issues. We deploy with github actions, and it takes about 30min to build the production binary, compile assets, and push the binary to the server. But overall, I've found my apps are way more stable, and really fast as well as running on much smaller machines. The tradeoffs for us are definitely worth it.
Now that is one smoooth looking ride. I'm referring to the paint since this clearly has the same suspension as a ride on lawn mower. One of our local potholes would swallow that buggy whole. Cute though.

I worked for a startup that built a React + Scala system for building training sets for machine learning models. At the time I was involved this had a strong research component, particularly we frequently had to roll out new tasks, and in fact we were working actively with new customers to adapt to their needs all the time.

The build for the system took about 20 minutes, and part of the complexity was that every new task (form where somebody had to make a judgement) had to be built twice since both a front end and back end component had to be built so React was part of the problem and not part of the solution. Even in a production environment this split would have been a problem because a busy system with many users might still need a new task added from time to time (think AMZN's MTurk) and forcing people to reload the front end to work on a new task defies the whole reason for using React.

It all was a formula for getting a 20 person team to be spinning its wheels, struggling to meet customer requirements and keeping our recruiters busy replacing developers that were getting burnt out.

I've built several generations of my own train-and-filter system since then and the latest one is HTMX powered. Each task is written once on the back end. My "build" process is click the green button on the IDE and the server boots in a second or two. I can add a new task and be collecting data in 5-10 minutes in some cases, contrasted to the "several people struggling for 5 days" that was common with the old system. There certainly are UIs that would be hard to implement with HTMX, but for me HTMX makes it possible to replace the buttons a user can choose from when they click a button (implement decision trees), make a button get "clicked" when a user presses a keyboard button and many other UI refinements.

I can take advantage of all the widgets available in HTML 5 and also add data visualizations based on d3.js. As for speed, I'd say contemporary web frameworks are very much "blub"

On my tablet via tailscale with my server on the wrong end of an ADSL connection I just made a judgement and timed the page reload in less than a second with my stopwatch. On the LAN the responsiveness is basically immediate, like using a desktop application (if the desktop application wasn't always going out to lunch and showing a spinner all the time.)
Unless they are doing something unreasonable, i have to believe it’s audio. ElevenLabs is $0.3/1000 characters. The summarization cost shouldn’t come close.

Slightly confused - why is this a problem? If the US government asks Twitter to take a tweet down, do you expect them to take it down only in the USA, while leaving it up everywhere else?
From a front end perspective I think the selling points I see pitched for these new server side frameworks are "SEO" and "speed".

SEO I personally think is a questionable motivation except in very specific use cases.

Speed is almost compelling but the complexity cost and all the considerations around how a page is structured (which components are server, which are client, etc) does not seem worth the complexity cost IMO. Just pop a loading animation up in most cases IMO.

I think I'm stuck somewhere in the middle between old-hacker-news-person yelling "lol were just back at index.html" and freshly-minted-youtube-devs going "this is definitely the new standard".
Rust is a safe language for a specific definition of safe regarding a class of memory errors.
Using an HTTP header to decide between "just return a snippet for this specific list element" v. "return the whole page with the updated content for this list element" is an interesting choice that I hadn't really considered before; normally I would've opted for two entirely separate routes (one for the full page, one for the specific hypermedia snippet), which HTMX also seems to support. I guess it ain't fundamentally different from using e.g. Accept-* headers for content negotiation.
My side? Not really. You’re an adult or you aren’t, I don’t pick and choose.
They're neither different nor similar. In fact they work together, with Alpine managing client side reactive state (NOT app state, just interaction) and htmx managing the actual request model. That's why the htmx docs often refer to Alpine. They should be used in combination, not to displace each other.
You could definitely build a read-only one; only account creation and the things that go with it are invite-only, the rest is already public and distributed. I don't know of a client like you describe existing yet, but I could use the API endpoints I've already worked with to build one if I wanted to take the time.

I have very little to fear, on a personal level, from the CCP. They may or may not be collecting data on me, and I find that distasteful and somewhat scary, but they are not a direct threat to my personal liberty, safety or civil rights.

The NSA, CIA and the US intelligence-industrial complex, however, is a direct and credible threat to me. Perhaps not today, and hopefully not tomorrow, but as history has shown us, governments change, sometimes wildly so, in a short period of time while still holding the trappings and lip-service of their predecessors. If you dismiss the concerns about warrantless data collection, tracking, active suppression of free discourse and political targeting of people who ideologically threaten those in power (no matter the political background), well, you just haven't been paying attention.

I kind of think the status of US schools is not very well known, or at least not consistently known:

To summarize the situation. US education institutes are laying off hundreds of teachers, cancelling courses, cutting services, etc. across the board. If a teacher is hired, it is most likely for part-time, on lower wages, with fewer benefits. If a teacher is guaranteed tenure after x many years, chances are they will be laid off, and their programs cancelled before this happens. At the primary level, schools are being aggressively merged, and sometimes even closed, to save money for the school district.

At the same time administrators in said schools are ballooning, more administrators are being hired, and their pay keeps going up (while other staff pay is stagnant). If there is money being allocated to the schools, it most likely goes into administration, not education. Administration has also become a political gig. Administrators move between school systems, get higher and higher positions, fill out their resumes, and gain prestige (all the while being payed more and more). What they actually do, is anybodies guess, most of the time they are simply in the way of teacher making actual changes which would benefit students. A typical scenario is a new higher administrator comes in, wants to look important and decides to create more administrator position and hire a security contractor to impose a security theater on campus.

I guess this this what your grand-parent was talking about. And how it comes to no-ones surprise when funding for this ballooning administration costs come from the same industry which is killing us all and our climate.

Just started using HTMX on a new project and have been a big fan. I’d go so far as to say that it’s the best practical case for the theory of hypermedia in general. Like others have mentioned, this is the sort of thing that prob _should_ be in the HTML spec but, given what I’ve personally seen about the standards process, I have little expectation of seeing that. Thx again!
> With exclusively static dispatch I feel like it should be possible to unconditionally detect at least the presence of recursion at compile-time,

That's true, and Rust as a language does do so, but in case of recursion for `async` function rust itself suggests to go the `dyn` route. Adding more to the post, it seems that the use of `async-trait` was the reason that they didn't have any choice in the matter to choose static dispatch, as the language as a whole doesn't support async traits, (just yet! ^-^)

As mentioned, htmx will attach a `HX-Request: true` header to the request[1]. The server can check this header and either return a partial for swapping, or a full page/redirect like in good old days. Same with any request. This is one way of how htmx provides "progressive enhancement". Sure, this may not be as transparent, as other JS-first frameworks implement it, but it's not complex at all.

The only thing that might cause trouble is non-standard (as in HTML standard) HTTP methods, which basically means any method other than GET and POST, I admit that. However, the fact that these methods are not supported even in HTML5 is a huge miss.

"Pumping" means giving information (true, or false) to pump a stock.

You pipe the sorted list into awk (for example) and append the second field to a list as long as the value of the first field remains the same. Whenever the value of the first field changes, and in the END block, you output the list (which contains the matching anagrams) and reset it to empty.

No hash table needed, just splitting the line into the two fields, equality comparison, and appending values to a list.
