> Justifying the move earlier this year, Christianne van der Wal, minister of nature and nitrogen policy, said that the Netherlands had to cut nitrogen emissions from farms to build new housing and produce green energy.

Closing farms to build more housing seems backwards. Where will the food to feed the people in that new housing come from? Per square meter, the total nitrogen/CO2 impact of a house+inhabitants is certainly bigger than that of a farm, if one considers energy and food use.
it absolutely is hypermedia

we generalize HTML's hypermedia controls in the following way:

- any HTML element can become a hypermedia control

- any event can drive a hypermedia interaction

- any element can be the target of a hypermedia interaction (transclusion, a concept in hypermedia not implemented by HTML)

all server interactions are done in terms of hypermedia, just like w/links and forms

it also makes PUT, PATCH and DELETE available, which allows HTML to take advantage of the full range of HTTP actions

htmx is a completion of HTML as a hypermedia, this is its design goal
It certainly is a lot. It's enough for a drone strike.

But almost by definition, if you have a back-end, there will be meta-data.

There's been a few attempts at getting around it, with "one-to-many" (eg opaque PGP posts to Usenet groups), Mixmasters (remailers) or onion routing. None are AFAIK truly practical with a state-level adversary.

e2ee is a good start, that doesn't mean you don't need to analyse the risks.

This is what I do as well. All of my everyday socks are identical, so I don't have to pair them up at all after laundry day. I just keep them loose in a drawer and pull two arbitrary ones out when I put my socks on.
I think that kind of argument is really muddying the waters. Google/Amazon/Facebook[1] have absolutely not been "reading our emails over our shoulders" in any kind of human sense. And all those companies have extensive policies and enforcement structures designed deliberately to prevent the kind of abuse detailed here with TikTok.

And it's been decades, and they've really been quite good about it. There are abstract arguments about whether that kind of data centralization is a good or bad thing, and I think that's fine.

But that's extremely different from "this company actively spied on its enemies". And I think we need to treat with that distinction and not muddy it. Because if your point becomes "Facebook and Google and Amazon are bad too" it becomes isomorphic to "oh well, nothing can be done", because in practice society is OK with the existing giants.

We shouldn't be OK with active spying!

I would caution that it's a matter of priorities.

Currently, statistical/data-driven approaches work best, and that's what you will be expected to use whether you are building your own products, or working for an employer. Most people don't care about the GOFAI approaches anymore, seeing them as outmoded in all respects.

However, if you are curious and want to understand more of the history of approaches we have tried, and learn some really interesting algorithms along the way, I think studying the old school problems and their solutions can be both intellectually stimulating, and potentially increase your depth of understanding. After all, it's only once you've tried to solve a problem and failed miserably that you start to appreciate the depth of its complexity.

That depth of appreciation is sorely lacking in today's new cohorts, who are basically blinded by the incredibly convincing outputs of our cream-of-the-crop LLMs.

It’s also hilarious that the users are using the term “skeet”. (Interestingly and semi-related, a TechCrunch article said that Bluesky needs sex workers and Black Twitter in order to thrive.)
Yeah, and I mentioned that he could have purposefully climbed a ledge to take nighttime photos and tripped.

If you haven't before, consider technical blue collar work. It pays well and is underappreciated by many.

Anecdote:

I live in Florida. A years ago, when I was starting to get my foothold in computer security and cryptography, several of my friends began transitioning from minimum-wage restaurant work to working in HVAC. (For installs, piece work is better than hourly.)

Even as a helper, their wages rose from $9/hour (dish pit) to $300 per install (typically one install per day, sometimes two if they're smaller jobs), which for a typical 8 hour shift is congruent to about $37/hour. Most days, they left at or just before dawn but were home for lunch, which is 4-5 hours. (Occasionally they'd have a late evening, but most homeowners and gated communities don't like workers staying past 5 PM.)

Last year (almost to the day), my friends started their own HVAC company. (They would have sooner, but you need four years of supervised work to even qualify for the state certification test.) They drew enough business to be self-sustaining in their first quarter. (Remember, though, this is Florida; I don't imagine the same demand would be felt in Alaska.)

The secret sauce to running a successful HVAC company in a state with a warm climate is surprisingly simple, and the bar is very low: Don't be a scumbag.

Don't try to sell people things they don't actually need, especially a unit when their existing one doesn't need replacing. Often, they encounter customers that need a new capacitor (less than $200 of parts and labor) or a drain line cleaned for a 3 year old air conditioner, but other companies wanted them to fork over $10,000 for a new unit.

More bluntly: Don't be a Louis Bruno. https://winknews.com/2022/07/05/state-reaches-a-deal-with-br...

It's depressing but the most basic business ethics put you in a class of your own compared to a lot of your competition, but that's the world today. (There are some obvious comparisons to other, more white-collar industries here, of course.)

Trust is the currency of every business, whether they realize it or not. There are fertile lands waiting to be tilled in this respect. Having integrity has a high up-front cost (harder sales pitches), but is better in the long-term for your community.

This is all to say: If I had to leave my computer job, I'd study HVAC and work with my friends. (I helped get their business off the ground, as their only investor, so I'd already be more than welcome.)

There are a lot of technical blue collar jobs out there (and not all are hard on your body like construction).

It's important work; everyone needs running water, electricity, and running toilets. Everyone in cold climates needs a viable way to heat their home. Everyone in warm climates needs a viable way to cool their home. Many people need both.
"If you wish to use something other than JavaScript or TypeScript, you must traverse the treacherous road of transpilation." -- this is the crux of the article.

These kind of takes fall in the bullseye of "I don't want to program with Javascript". The subtext is all about this.

Perhaps.. maybe.. Htmx won't be the future because there are a lot of people that like programming in Javascript?
I don’t understand how it’s inevitable that projects using this package will become garbage when the codebase grows. It looks like reasonable patterns could be built around it. Am I missing something?
It's been a while since I read it, but I think the cultural revolution served as character development and how the trauma effected some of the characters in the story. It also served as an analogy for suppressing scientific research. It's something that has been overcome and is (somewhat) overcome in the rest of the book and the subsequent novels from the Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy.

It's not that people are all good, but they are serious, as are the governments involved. It might be more obvious from books 2 and 3.

Compare that to something like "Don't look up" (humans stupid) or "Avatar" (human bad)

I didn't “basically” say any of that. I didn't say any of it at all; you made it all up and then attributed it to me. All I actually did was to state a fact: someone on StackExchange actually asked this question.

All those thoughts about what a stupid question it is, and how stupid someone must have been to ask it—all those are thoughts you had, not me.
I'll just take the other side of the argument.

My family didn't have much money when I was growing up, so the only hope I had for things like a car or a computer or video games was a job. Despite wanting a job desperately, I couldn't get one in our state until I was 16. And even then, I was one of only a handful of teenagers at my school who were able to get one.

And on the job I was a second class citizen. This was your standard burger-flipping fast food restaurant. Yet it was kind of ridiculous the kind of rules and restrictions me and the employer had to follow for me to work there. I was allowed to operate a motor vehicle to drive to work, but once I was there I wasn't allowed to use things like scissors.

More punishing was that there were all sort of hour restrictions on when and how often I could work. So I was denied enough hours to be eligible for health insurance (something I didn't have at the time).

Working as a teenager was entirely and without exception a positive experience for me. It had almost no impact on my schooling (if anything, menial labor made me take school more seriously), it gave me a ton of experience, and it was a huge cash infusion that let me afford a car, save for college, and even have spending money to keep up with my richer peers.

So while I totally understand that we don't want children ripped from classes and forced to defuse landmines at 5c an hour, the comments in this thread are really disheartening to me. A lot of these restrictions were arbitrary BS. I am absolutely in favor of giving kids more responsibility if they want it. Taking away the options for the sake of "their own good" is moralistic pantomime coming from privilege.

>Try reading the article if you want to see a study showing scientific evidence of the neurotoxicity of weed.

The article doesn't say anything about the neurotoxicity of weed. It doesn't even contain the word "toxic". The study doesn't talk about neurotoxicity or use that word either.

Are you commenting on the right article?
See I don’t understand this argument. I wrote a blog post about this recently where I discuss this at length. But are MFi cables overpriced? It doesn’t seem to be the case.

It brings a tear of joy to my eye honestly. The circle of life continues, and people always forget people are bad at programming (myself included).
I understand the argument I just disagree that having a separate "bool isPasswordValid()" and "float isPasswordValid()" (really probably something that returns what's not valid with the score) function is in any way simpler than a single function used on both sides. Sure, the server may not care about the strength level but if you need to write that calculation for the client side anyways then how are you saving any engineering work by writing a 2nd validation function on the server side instead of just ignoring the extra info in the one that already exists?
> I don’t see how anyone can say he “jumped” on purpose yet when at some point he must’ve been hanging which could have been a result of tripping on something.

Wouldn't having a barrier low enough someone can trip and fall over be a recipe for a lawsuit? I imagine the barrier was high enough planting hands would be the natural way for most people to get on top or over.
Any concerns over routers made in China?

It’s true that a lot of chips are made in China. Nevertheless, the question remains.
Fully agree with this comment. Also, client and server state are different: on the client you need only session state relevant to user journey, on server you keep only persistent state and use REST level 3 for the rest.
The first article says he wasn't a journalist because he wasn't accountable to anyone, and that he didn't filter what he published. I think he just didn't have the hubris to think he knows better then others what information should or shouldn't be free.

The 2nd article doesn't seem to claim he isn't a journalist at all. It even says "his own unique brand of journalism", which seems to be an acknowledgement that he is a journalist.
Whelp. With that visualization I'm done with the internet today.

And you're wholly correct. Just depressing.
Publishers pay to be high up in Search. They don't to be in News, and they don't get paid for this one either. Also, stop paying on a platform that controls 90% of the global search market is not really a smart move.

I feel like you haven't used Google recently.

They have compartmentalized certain results, and created products around them, e.g. news, travel, places. They also have summarized some results and added them as short answers to common questions related to search terms, which means that you don't leave Google's page for content created and hosted somewhere else.

The most obvious case is where you search for, say, a historical person, and instead of giving you the link to Wikipedia, it shows literal Wikipedia content as a sort of widget on the right column.

How is any of this fair to content creators?

> The argument you’re making is basically equivalent to saying that Chipotle burritos are making me fat, therefore Chipotle should close all their locations instead of you know, me taking responsibility by not eating there.

They should be if Chipotle was virtually the only restaurant in town, and the only way for you to get food, which is essentially what Google is in the search space.
Wow. Great explanation.

The example you used going from 1 to 2 to n dimensions really made sense
How does this differ from what we called rehydration a decade ago?
Probably metrology. I've got a decent start on an electronic metrology home lab, but other sorts are also interesting. Metrology research is particularly interesting, finding ways to measure things more accurately & precisely than any current equipment can do so, and to quantify how precise & accurate those measurement systems are despite that!
> Thankfully, posting banned ideas or government critical stuff in the US doesn't involve being arrested by the police and being held for months or years.

regretfully, being poor and in certain parts of the USA is sufficient to get sucked up by the system. no ideology necessary, just getting caught and loaning money for bail is enough to get swallowed by this beast.

i suppose the CCP pays for these systems directly? whereas the American way has a distributed system of crony 'entrepreneurs' (shoddy lawyers, loan sharks, court bureaucrats and so on) all keeping this system of private jails and other 'services' and industries built around people 'breaking the law'
That's very interesting to me, do you know if there's any numbers on the official implementation?
Even without object-oriented dynamic dispatch, if the language supports closures or function pointers, you still lose the ability to statically analyze all call targets.
Shadowsocks is defunct now. Has been for a while; a connected server's IP can be detected and blocked within hours. That means Outline's defunct in a lot of places too. What's currently 'hot', in large part, is v2ray [1], be that vless, vmess, trojan, etc.

Sure, but the amount of CO2 absorbed by a tree is measured in grams per day, which isn't really enough to even realistically offset the devices own carbon footprint, let alone start tackling other co2 sources.
I was talking about the relevant data points other than the message content, mainly metadata.

The server can not only log IPs, but also locations, client details and a lot more. The API calls aren't proxied, they're more or less direct.
Just like how people famously jump off the Golden Gate Bridge to protest bridges.
They may indeed like to disagree, as I'm sure anyone who has broken the law would and is entitled to. Hence the existence of a fair trial and the possibility of a "not guilty" plea along with the opportunity to present a defense before a jury.

One could argue about the fairness of any trial or set of trials, of course, and we should definitely do that and work out what we the people think of those trials as well as what we want to see in a fair trial.

However, if you are trying to say that what those people did was just a protest or just speech, you will need to address the actual crimes the people going to jail were charged with and convicted of. Otherwise, your argument there is not convincing at all.

It's not just free speech when you destroy property, break into government buildings, assault cops and government employees, actually invade and interrupt a session of congress, trespass in government offices, and actually try to locate the vice-president with the loudly declared intent to hang him.

For two years I've had a hobby maintaining a kefir culture (similar to yogurt), and I've found it to be one of the coolest processes I've worked with and possibly viable as a business prospect. All you need is kefir grains, milk, and containers- you don't even need to keep it warm like with yogurt! Still takes some effort, though, since "harvesting" requires straining the kefir to separate it from the grains. The "grains" that you start each batch with naturally grow and multiply as you use them, so you can scale up or down just by getting more and/or larger containers.

Once you get the hang of making base kefir, which is like a drinkable yogurt, you can get into advanced applications like straining it greek yogurt style or using the kefir to quickstart other fermentations like sourdough or bokashi- most fermentations are lactobacillus or yeast, and kefir gets you a pretty reliable DIY source of a liquid containing both. Get great at making kefir, and you can use it to power a lot of highly marketable and unique products that can easily be marked up way higher than the cost of the milk that goes into them.

Hmm, maybe I should be keeping this idea to myself? Oh well, competition makes a healthy market.

To me Crystal is actually a more polished Ruby implementation. There was some annoying inconsistent in ruby stdlib that was corrected in Crystal, for example the modules for file/directory interaction.

Ruby was my main language for scripting, but I switched to Crystal completely after getting comfortable with it. Now it is really hard to switch back to Ruby.

Also, I thing compiled language is the greatest friend for older programmers. Over the time I'm getting more and more sloppy and very often make some typing error. Crystal being compiled language saved me countless time by refusing to compile when I made the mistake. Meanwhile in Ruby it can only be found after the script ran for a while, sometime it became a disaster because the action was destructive.

This hasn't been a real problem for me. I'm not sure why. Some of it may be that I buy black socks, not white, and some of it may be that I mix freshly laundered socks into the clean sock collection, so every sock gets used about the same amount overall.
