React isn't the only way, of course, but it's likely the most popular. Why do you consider Vue or Svelte to be valid alternatives but not HTMX, despite plenty of people endorsing it and openly proclaiming how successful it's been in their projects?
I mean either one would be fine when the transition is done, since they’re both now open standards.
I was incredibly surprised today while checking my gmail to see a modal with a darkened background pop-up to cover the entire web page. It was an ad for Mozilla VPN. I did some googling to find out if it was a gmail ad or a FireFox ad but didn't find anything until the bug report was shared here.

It isn't, but what they actually mean is that they will refuse to fix it, and "it's normal" is the fastest way to get you to go away.
Yeah the whole premise of the "XY" problem seems like it was written up by someone who regulars Stack Overflow. It's pretty frustrating when the highest-upvotes answer to a question is "actually you don't want to do that. do something else instead".

Datadog platform impact post-mortem from March 8th incident
I think this comment is a bit out of date, especially if you’ve been watching JS from a distance for the past couple decades. This would’ve been true circa 2014. In 2023 it’s obsolete.

There’s one framework that won, that’s all you have to learn, as far as the industry goes (as opposed to hobbyists) it’s been decided. React won. React is the framework you learn.

“Popular frameworks for the past 6 years” - React has been dominant over that entire time period, from beginning to end. React is what you would’ve reached for 6 years ago (it was already mature then, in 2017) and it’s what you’d turn to now. This is what I mean. You could update your React code to use hooks instead of classes - or you could not, it will continue to work if you don’t.

The “JS changes all the time” take is frankly out of date in 2023. “Which framework do I learn…” you learn React, the framework that won. It’s pretty much that simple.
I test drove a Tesla and an EV6 and wound up with the EV6. Tesla's got a lot going for them but their lead is quickly evaporating.
US CCS (1) and European CCS (2) are incompatible anyway so that’s moot. Also China uses neither.
Very badly named, given that XY also means “male.”
I don’t know about you, but 20 minutes sounds like quite a walk. It’s absolutely possible, and can be done for fun, but if your main goal is going to a concert tacking on another 40 minutes walking may be mildly frustrating.
Let's see...

The age of the universe in Planck time requires 200 bits to represent as an integer.

The number of Planck cubes in the universe can be represented with 611 bits.

1 KB can represent an integer as large as 2^8000 = 10^2408. 10^2408 Planck times is 10^2347 x (age of universe). The last of the stars will burn out in 10^73 Planck times from now.
This is a great post. I'm not a web dev myself, but I have a couple on my team. I criminally underrated the challenge of maintaining a complex web app. It is madness: endless incompatible, forced upgrades.

Real Question: Why does this ecosystem have this issue, but others have it less? For example: Why doesn't Python or Java have the same madness?

Please don't read the question as criticizing web dev / JavaScript / etc. My curiosity is genuine.

To be fair, it does feel like C++ is more maddening than Python or Java, but part of can be explained by (1) native code generation (build is way harder than languages that run in a VM) and (2) the insane complexity of the language which _traditionally_ made IDEs much weaker than other languages. MSFT Visual Studio and JetBrains CLion have come a long way. (I can already feel the HN pitchforks poking at me for these C++ comments!)
That's mostly an American thing (bulldozing the poor away to build infrastructure, mostly highways).

For instance, Paris is currently building 200km of new metros, with minimal disruption outside of stations:

There's also the massive Chinese subway building program. And the London Crossrail. And many others.
This is all undergrad material. There's really barely any math here; he says it pretty explicitly:

>While we will take a brief glance at topology here, I am planning to write a separate blog post fully dedicated to the maths behind topological quantum error-correction. The goal of this post is to gain a first intuitive understanding of the surface code.

All the brief mentions of homotopy and homology (the actual topology at play) are relegated to footnotes.

I taught myself most of this last year (actually including one of this guy's other posts) so that I could then teach it to a high schooler. My background was a degree in physics+math ~10 years ago and then more recently a really lame grad class in QC (that only covered up to repetition codes). I am a PhD student but not in QC.

So how many people are like me? Probably a 200-400 minted each year just in the US - how many undergrad QC classes are there taught each year? 20-40 of 10-20 students?

The real difficulty with this stuff is not the math but all the "awe gee wow" treatment people give it so that every paragraph seems like it's dripping in profundity; junk like this

> surface code is also one of the most beautiful ideas of quantum computing, and if you ask me, of all physics.

> ...

> And indeed, the surface code has deep connections to many areas of maths and physics.

You ever wonder to yourself how it's possible that so many things are "the most beautiful idea" and have "deep connections"? In reality it's really just a bunch of cute tricks and convenient definitions that make the proofs work out (basically like all of pure math).
Classes? Components as functions? Classes again? Hooks?
From FAQ further down the page:

What needs to go wrong for the safety of the Ceremony to break?

The ceremony has a "1-of-N" trust assumption, which means that only a single participant in the entire ceremony needs to destroy or otherwise forget their secret input for everything to be secure.
To break the Ceremony output, every participant would have to strip apart the software that they are using to contribute, get that software to give them the secret, and then collude with every single other participant to reconstruct the final secret.
A more realistic failure mode is a common bug which leaks the randomness. To combat this, this site has been audited and there are alternative implementations of the contribution software built on entirely different software stacks.
This is why there will be thousands of participants using different pieces of software on different operating systems to help prevent single points of failure both in the people and hardware/software.

War between the West and China would be naval and air affair (with the exception of Korea I guess), so the traditional draft doesn't make much sense I think. The war would be mostly about whether US can blockade China into a collapse, because China is not self-sufficient in energy (by a huge margin) and food (by a smaller margin).

You might see people drafted into factories, given how much stuff is made in China and the impact on global trade, though.

Sure you have: literally any frontend framework post, from React and Vue to roll-up, webpack, and everything in between. Tons of non-FE engineers or engineers that work on small and trivial apps will flood in to say why the lib in question, and usually the entire FE ecosystem, are crazy, rapidly changing, undecipherable, etc.
Twitter Set to Exit EU Code of Practice on Disinformation
"As the EU has always been a somewhat secondary market for the platform, and it is becoming increasingly likely that Twitter may opt not to comply with the DSA, withdrawing from Europe altogether."

Blackmailing once again. Good riddance if they too bail out. It would be a good thing for both Europe and alternative social media platforms if this cesspool would exit.

At the very top of the file, I add:

/*

PURPOSE: this file is meant for testing.

NOTES: a lot of testing goes on this file, but it is never meant to be seen by the public.

I need to get better at documenting my code, but I try to leave comments in block sections. I act as if one day, someone is going to buy my product and I am going to sell it to them, and they will take it over and want to see clean commented code. I know if I were the buyer and saw undocumented code, it wouldn't mean anything to me and I wouldn't want to buy it. If I saw nice code, I'm more enticed because I know what's going on in that code, can hire others to help, and no one has to guess, and we don't have to break anything or have any type of learning code.

Take Twitter for example... built on multiple levels of code, starting on Ruby On Rails, then evolved to Scala and Java with some Javascript in the mix. Re-writing code into another language is no easy task for any programmer, especially undocumented code. If the code, however, is documented, than instead of having to decipher what code is doing, it's all the more easier to read and re-write code into a new language if it is heavily documented. Hence... Twitter being bought by Elon Musk for $44 billion.

Although Elon Musk didn't technically buy Twitter because it has amazing well documented code, Twitter itself became a large corporation based on its own ability to somewhat organize, specifically its hashtags. Elon is not an active programmer and pays people to write code, but at some point in his life, he was a programmer who knew C and probably understands a lot of different code, as he oversees many projects involving code that performs different functions, specifically for Tesla.

So when writing code, always pretend that someone else is going to be looking over it and even better if you pretend they have no idea how to read code. With proper documentation, however, they won't need to understand how to read code.
Even bundlers can be pretty stupid and simple. I still just use r.js for even large apps. Webpack isn't hard to set up, either. But my frontend code has almost no dependencies... I refuse to deal with React, Angular, etc etc. I have a very nice, simple component-building / screen scaffolding system that's about 1000 LOC. You extend the component and load up some HTML and just work with it directly in JS when you want to update data, resize it, etc. There's no need for all these frameworks that try to plant logic back into HTML. I love having the HTML templates pure and the logic unbound from them.

Too much criticism destroys self-esteem. Coaching is a better alternative. Also, pushing children to be perfect is a recipe for disaster. Carol Dweck's Mindset comes to mind.
This is what bothers me a lot yes. Especially in terms of features.

Mozilla is still targeting the mainstream user that uses Chrome. Spending a lot of time on gloss and removing 'power' features.

Yet they don't understand they already lost the chrome user years ago so badly that they don't even remember the name. And they're now alienating their remaining userbase.
People argue this point a lot. As an example, Miranda rights are an affirmative requirement - that is legislating from the bench, but people like it so don't complain.

I'd highly recommend a podcast called 'Five Four' where they talk about the supreme court as a political body, rather than as the impartial "balls and strikes" role that if purports to be.
I was in the EV market recently and managed to test drive an Audi E-Tron. I'll probably never forget how casually the salesman told me that they were marking them up $5K over MRSP and still had a 10 month waitlist. I walked out of there pretty quick. Who's putting up with this?!
That’s fair, although people often underestimate the time “more convenient” options take. For example, walk 2 minutes to a bus, wait 5 minutes, ride 5 minutes, walk 3 minutes to destination. Not too much faster. Happens all the time with cars in the city. Spend 5 minutes looking for parking that ends up being a 5 minute walk away, and a 10 drive is now a 20 minute transit.
This is why Mozilla lost a lot of volunteers, too, including me.

I did not wish to contribute to a political organization. I wished to contribute to a browser. It’s not possible to do one without the other at Mozilla, although it used to be.

Interesting, so what you're saying is after the Japanese lost their Korean colony, the country was split into two, then communist aggression from the North invaded the South which resulted in foreign powers stepping into defend the Southern half of the country.

Sounds pretty similar to France losing their Vietnamese colony, and the country being split into two, and then a foreign power coming in to defend the southern half of the country.

So it looks like we agree?
> That being said it seems that 2023 is the year of the EV, my family is currently in the market for a new car and have been pleasantly surprised at the breadth of offerings.

My wife and I are in the market for a second car, after buying an ICE SUV at the beginning of the pandemic and having no car for 10 years before that (living in San Francisco).

There’s a lot of options for a $40,000+ primary family car, but my impression is that there is a notable lack of options in the “second car” or “economy car” categories. We already have the ICE SUV for road trips, camping trips, IKEA trips, etc. We will probably need a second car very soon (moving from the Bay Area to LA and less WFH schedules).

Am I just supposed to get a Leaf or a Bolt? Plug in hybrids seem very cool to me but barely exist in the US (is this really too much cognitive load to figure out how fuel economy works?). Where’s the $25,000 electric Corolla with 100 mile range?
Those are great.

Counterpoint, the specialization training seems to have been fast enough to be worthwhile; they might need to find multiple antibiotics for the same organism; a narrow antibiotic might be really good because it doesn't mess with your gut bacteria as much as something that broadly destroys everything.

If we had a model that could predict the next working antibiotic for MRSA that would be amazing. And you'd probably need it multiple times as MRSA keeps evolving new defenses.

Even narrowing down the list of substances to test by 10x it's amazing.

This looks very practical to me.
You accept 5% complexity to completely drop all the rest. “Bundlers”? Please.

I know that from a webdev bubble it seems the world is made of JS - I should rather say “and its various frameworks” - but that is not the case. There are lots of places where keeping the surface area small is very much appreciated and the concept of using “bundlers” for your moderately complex crud interface will get you laughed out the room. I guess that is where htmx can shine, not in webdev consultancies.

This is one of those things where it's quite clear to me there's news and there's immutable fact. My friends have Teslas and they have never brought it into the shop. Everyone I know with one says they don't trust FSD entirely but love the car and use AP all the time.

It's like the iPhone. When it was released to years afterwards, enthusiasts breathlessly posted about how it was nothing like the Nokia whatever or the Windows Mobile whatever.

They posted about the factories and who was first and established companies and articles about how the iPhone had no copy and paste or this or that.

Meanwhile, the iPhone surged ahead. Everyone I knew who had one raved. It was apparent that the enthusiasts were blindsided. People without an opinion were buying this device. It was going to rule!

Same with Teslas. Rave reviews from my network of early buyers of their non-sports-car. Online all sorts of warnings and complaints. Years later, rave reviews from my friends. Turns out it works out. People online can find 400 sources for their stuff. The factories are in tents. There are gaps in the panels. FSD isn't fully self driving.

But people love it. And now we find ourselves at immutable fact: best selling car in the world.
It wasn't. Mark-Jason Dominus was the cause of that name.

>using terminology that mathematicians understand, but is fairly inaccessible to physicists.

You're very much underestimating the mathematical sophistication of the average theorist - there is no one in the physics dept that I'm friendly with that would have trouble with this material (especially presented at this level). And in general the math, the homology groups at play in surface codes are trivial because everything is a simplicial complex. It just ends up being a bunch of counting arguments (that actually shouldn't be completely unfamiliar to anyone that's taken undergrad discrete in a CS dept).
I might have been wrong in my previous comment about Reichsbürger.
There is a (now rather dated) theory of an hierarchy of arts, where music, being the most abstract and at the same time the most intimate and sensual (AKA spiritual) one taking the crown. If you adhere to this idea to some degree, there may be no way around this kind of conclusion, short of abandoning said theory, since music is supposed to encompass the virtues of all the other arts.

What's not actually true? The video I linked to demonstrates a BMW i4 charging on a Tesla V2 charger.

Europe uses CCS Type 2 Combo. Teslas sold in Europe use CCS Type 2 Combo. Old Tesla chargers were retrofitted with CCS plugs years ago. New V3 and V4 Tesla chargers in Europe only have CCS plugs.
Teams' UI is schizophrenic garbage. It's the Calvinball of UX. There's no consistency or rules. There's only laughably awful performance and text boxes that don't automatically take focus when the application is brought forward.

> Turkey and Greece are two separate countries involved in territorial war of Cyprus (sometimes considered Western Europe).

If you want to consider Turkey part of Western Europe that’s up to you.

> UK and Ireland are also two separate countries

The UK was not at war with the Republic of Ireland; it was at war with domestic terrorists inside Northern Ireland.

> I find your specification of "War" and "Western Europe" awfully convenient.

If that’s true, I’m sure it’ll be just as easy for you to find another 78 year period of history in which no two sovereign Western European polities went to war with one another. In fact, the whole reason I pointed it out is because the western half of Europe had been interminably war-torn for centuries. You’re talking about colonial wars in Angola and IRA terrorists; I’m talking about breaking the centuries-long cycle of Anglo-German-French wars that stretches into medieval times.

I drive an ID4 after looking at the Model Y. It's a ground up EV and a solid competitor. As a family crossover it's great. The software is pretty dumb but that's mostly avoided thanks to wireless Android Auto and CarPlay.

What won me over: Rear window was easier to see through, the above mentioned Carplay/AA support, not a fan of Tesla's extreme minimalism extending to things like air vents, brand tainted by Musk.
I personally do consider HTMX to be a valid alternative to React, but I also think that a lot of usage / promotion of it comes from people who are misinformed and think that the entirety of the JavaScript ecosystem is React. I consistently see a lot of people use HTMX over React alternatives purely because of a "distaste for JavaScript" or an understanding that everything is or has to be as complex as React unless you're using HTMX.
It's JavaScript. Everyone is moving on to Turbopack. Or Vite. Or ESBuild. Or Bun.
