I don't really get the meaning of debt on a global scale.

If I have have $1, it means someone owes $1. That's what money is. On a global scale, money is worthless, it only has meaning on a local scale, as a way to keep tabs on who owes what.

So an increase on global debt can mean that there is more money in circulation, i.e. inflation, essentially a tax collected by those who print money. But inflation was rather low during the pandemic, so probably not that.

If it is not inflation, then it means that more people owe more to other people. So, more interdependence. I wonder if it is a good or a bad thing. Probably both.

The specific people referenced in the post I was responding to were not US citizens and should not be expected to be granted legal rights equal to US citizens.

> Hicks was captured in Afghanistan in December 2001 by the Afghan Northern Alliance

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hicks

>He was captured in March 2002 by Pakistani forces during a raid at Faisalabad, Pakistan. He was held in Islamabad for two months before being turned over the United States forces.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghassan_al-Sharbi

As I said, they were captured as enemy combatants, in a warzone. The circumstances of Sharbi's capture are much more questionable. But from the US's perspective, an ally turned him over as a captured enemy combatant.

It's all questionable and stupid, of course. But the question of their status at the time is relevant to the question of whether the US "vanishes" it's own citizens. These two were not citizens, so what happened to them does not support the case that the US is just as bad as China on that point.

No nation on Earth has a history of treating such captives as full citizens entitled to the same legal rights as it's own people. But maybe that's what we all would want. That's a fair point to argue, separately.

However, that is not the point the person I was responding to was making. Which is part of why I say the examples they offered were ineffective as support for their point.

You may find it helpful to practice re-reading and making sure you understand the case a post is making before responding to it.

You and I clearly agree that what the US did in Guantanamo was bad. You and I also agree that the US can, has, and may yet still violate the rights of it's own citizens as well as the rights of people who are not it's citizens, even in situations where it has signed treaties with those people's nations.
And the US government should definitely be held accountable whenever it does something like that.

None of that changes the observation that the US's failure to give full citizen legal rights to Ghassan al Sharbi and David Matthew Hicks, people who were not US citizens, does not make a good supporting example to the case for the US being just as bad as China about "vanishing" it's own citizens.

You are, of course, free to offer concrete examples which would better make that case. That is essentially what I was opening the door for. But here you seem to be responding more to an emotion evoked by how I said something rather than the point I was actually making.

And you piggybacked on a racebaiting comment on an unrelated subject. Come on.
It's not clear to me, but how and where is state managed?

In the OPs article, it looks like the only thing going over the line is UUIDs. How does the server know "this uuid refers to this element"? Does this require a sticky session between the browser and the backend? Are you pushing the state into a database or something? What does the multi-server backend end up looking like?

My honest opinion? Iowa was creepily lacking in any visible diversity. People were polite, but I was traveling through as a straight white married couple. Nebraska, on the other hand, felt outright hostile.

I've spent almost my entire career working on react based SPAs and react native mobile apps. I've just started playing around with HTMX.

> no good story for what happens when one component in a tree needs to update another component in the tree

HTMX has a decent answer to this. Any component can target replacement for any other component. So if the state of everything on the page changes then re-render the whole page, even if what the user clicked on is a button heavily nested.

> it's impossible to implement "optimistic UI," ... hurting the user experience

Do we actually need optimistic UI? Some apps need to work in offline mode sure, like offline maps or audiobooks or something. The HTMX author agrees, this is not the solution for that. Most of the stuff I have worked on though ... is useless without an internet connection.

In the case of "useless without internet connection" do we really need optimistic UI. The actual experience of htmx is incredibly fast. There is no overhead of all the SPA stuff. No virtual dom, hardly any js. It's basically the speed of the network. In my limited practice I've actually felt the need to add delays because the update happens _too fast_.

I'm still evaluating htmx but not for any of the reasons you've stated. My biggest concern is ... do I want my api to talk in html?
TikTok isn't actually going to be banned.

What is going to happen, is that even if a ban goes through, they will end up just selling the US/international app to a US company, then that company will be completely separated from bytedance.

This almost happened during the Trump administration.

And this would be a positive result. We get to keep TikTok, and all it's "benefits", while the national security concerns are solved because it would be US owned, and no longer beholden to a foreign adversary.
And that units of computation are called cycles is no coincidence right?

Bluesky made some key decisions that are different from Mastodon:

- Profiles and posts are portable across hosted instances. If you have a problem with your admins, etc, you'll be able to hop away without much fuss.

- Moderation is decoupled from hosting. They're still working out the details, but the overall vision is that the global firehose is public, and you'll be able to opt in and out of different moderators which operate on that stream. If you don't like what a moderator is doing, you'll be able to just turn them off for yourself. Moderation doesn't prevent people from posting, it allows people to prevent themselves from seeing.

> Falcon 1 which was expandable, nothing special and cost ~$100 million was privately funded

Nothing special just the first privately funded rocket to make it to orbit. The first new rocket engine developed in the US for decades.

> (Regardless of Musk's posturing and outright lies)

Musk has always acknowledged and publicly called out for the COTS contracts as being incredibly important and even saving SpaceX.

> For starters, Tesla and SpaceX both only happened due to US government subsidies

Both of those are wrong. Tesla was almost 10 years in before they received a public loan, and the accepted it because it was a slightly better deal then they could have gotten privately but they had other funding options.

SpaceX Falcon 1 didn't happen because of the government. The governments contract did accelerate the Falcon 9 project however.
They are definitely not better known among normal people -- Z-Library was trending on TikTok massively (this is what prompted the aggressive arrests and seizures lol)

It is possible that Libgen's proprietors are known to law enforcement but never stepped within reach of Western legal authorities. Certainly, had Z-Library's staff all stayed within Russia, they never would have been arrested.

The trouble there is if you're actually compute bound, the Pi's performance is also a lot worse, and if you're not, you should be comparing the idle power consumption. There are plenty of PCs that idle at under 10W.

PCs also support arbitrary amounts of memory, so you can often avoid needing multiple devices by using virtualization.

Apart from the comments you've already gotten, another goal of geospatial systems is to support range queries (e.g. for the bounding box of the user's screen, what are all the businesses in that box). In higher dimensions range queries are mostly useless and the focus is on NN queries.

But as the other comments have mostly said, it's mainly dimensionality and scale differences that drive the design differences (e.g. graphs end up working better than trees in high dimensions)
Restoring old motorbikes.
To be fair -- if you go out and buy another device owned by the same company and you go through their recovery process (and are capable of going through that recovery reprocess) and you stay in their ecosystem like a good little consumer, then you'll be OK (although you won't have immediate access to those accounts until after you've purchased and set up the replacement device).

And if you've preemptively set up your friend's devices as trusted devices and given them access to your accounts or like... purchased a second device from the same company and linked it to your cloud account and then given it to your friend to hold -- in both of those situations you'll be fine (but do you want to do any of that?)

Otherwise, yes, you're out of luck by design. You'll have to go through the recovery options for every single account.
Intentionally or not, this doesn't read like a cogent argument against the merits of HTMX (and isn't, since it is factually incorrect) but just as a person who is trying to convince him/herself that his/her professional skill set isn't starting to lose relevance.

From the February 31, 1998 Hacker News archives: "According to state of the web survey, Yahoo and Altavista are looking great on usage, Hotbot and AskJeeves are the upstarts. Google doesn't even hit the charts."
The tricky part of an SPA is that as a developer, you're taking on a lot of the burden of managing location state that in an MPA is handled by the browser. And location state often is a significant component of application state.

Certainly it's possible to take on that burden and execute it well, but I think a lot of teams and businesses don't fully account for the fact that they are doing so and properly deciding if that extra burden is really necessary. The baseline for nailing performance and correctness is higher with an SPA.
It's interesting that this paradigm is especially popular on Hacker News. I see it pop up here pretty regularly and not many other places.
I think journalists at this point should seriously consider living in a different country than they report on, working as anonymously as possible, and utilizing a network of unnamed sources.

One downside of the popularity of Wolfenstein 3D is that its success has almost completely erased the original 1980s Castle Wolfenstein (and its sequel Beyond Castle Wolfenstein) from popular culture. These earlier games (for 8-bit computers like the Apple ][ and Commodore 64) were in a way more sophisticated (despite their simple graphics) because they were stealth games -- in the original you were terribly outmatched and couldn't just run around shooting Germans but had to sneak around, kill one by stealth to get a uniform, and so on.
I'd say that comment goes a bit beyond rude. When you're being interrogated, even in US domestic criminal cases, the rule is "everything you say can and will be used against you". If you're suspected of giving material aid to the enemy in wartime, saying "I'm a member of al-Qaeda, I'm proud of my actions against the United States, may God help me fight the infidels" is the kind of thing that will get you convicted - of something.

Did the guy deserve to spend 20 years in Gitmo? Maybe not. But if I look into my heart of hearts, I genuinely have a tough time feeling too much sympathy.

Too much abstraction (especially leaky abstraction the way web frameworks are) makes it difficult to reason about your application.

But if you optimize for absolute minimal abstraction, then you can get stuck with code that's very repetitive where it's hard to pick apart the business logic from all the boilerplate.

FWIW, I also originally read that line to imply "I thought this was obvious, but apparently I need to be explicit anyway".

Given the tone of the rest of the article I assumed that I'd either read something into it that wasn't there or was missing some context - for example, perhaps the person on SO had insisted that this was the correct approach, and you'd gone to some lengths to show that it was not and were exasperated by it by the time you wrote the article.

At any rate - it didn't really take away from your article for me, but I did see it as condescending.

> Like, I cannot say "export to file" and put that on a thumb drive and put that in a safe? Make what copies I want?

You can not export to file or store a passkey on a thumb drive.

There have been a couple of claims from various sources that this is coming sometime(tm), but no official word from any of the larger players. I will believe it when I see it.

In addition, if someone does build an Open Source authenticator app that allows you to export and import your keys, there's a capability called hardware attestation that allows login providers to ban authenticators, so there's no guarantee your Open Source authenticator will actually work with every site you want to make an account on.

Think of that like going to log into your bank and being told you can't log in because you're storing your password in Bitwarden instead of the Apple password manager. The current way the spec deals with this risk is by asking very politely for companies to not do that unless they have a really good reason.
Well, even in your analogy, there would be no point in giving vaccines if the diseases had been eradicated. I haven't had to take a polio vaccine, have you?

I agree with you that we get to live in a society where we are prosperous enough to enjoy safer working environments - I guess I see labor laws as the cart being pulled by the horse here. The fact that working environments are so much better regulated and safe means I think we don't need to pearl clutch so much anymore about younger people wanting to engage with them.

But I don't want to leave this point - the rules were arbitrary. Why is 18 a magical year where you are allowed to train on a forklift? And there is an entire category of work almost none of these laws apply to in the US - agricultural work. I was allowed to drive a tractor on a farm at age 12, but was not allowed to use turn on a deep fryer at 17. These are not very equitable rules - these are rules of convenience.

In an era when we are (supposedly) supposed to be pushing kids back into trades and apprentices, why so much hullabaloo about them not doing enough college prep?

it's still in doubt who exactly owns bluesky pbllc, but there has been some discussion and the claim is that it is owned by "the team" (which is vague and doesn't specify who or quantify how much stake is held by a shareholder).

again, who owns the PBLLC?

after clearing that up, I suppose my other question concerning Bluesky is if they intend to submit their protocol to the IETF or something. It's weird they're doing this whole thing parallel to protocols like W3C ActivityPub.
