> I'd rather have elected representation

I think that’s the root of the problem.

This case wasn’t about overturning a law, it was about reining in an unelected federal agency that had interpreted the law in a way that a plain reading doesn’t support.

If Congress had written the Clean Water Act in a way that authorized this position, we’d be having an entirely different conversation.

When are public individuals held accountable for their statements? Public figures lie constantly, they tell us there's WMDs in Iraq, that inflation is transitory, that an election was stolen, and on and on. They never get held accountable. How would you even begin to differentiate between people who are lying and people who are simply wrong?

> Why shouldn't customers be allowed to hold corporations to the same standards?

Nothing is stopping customers from holding corporations accountable, by taking their business elsewhere if they find a corporation to be unreliable.

> there's a huge number of professional, revenue generating websites out there that just host a form. And that form probably just needs to send an email.

You don’t need JavaScript or htmx for this. It’s been in the html standard since 1.0. Forms work from plain vanilla html.

> Using a form, then a network request to some service, then showing some HTML will solve 100% of the problem for the local hair salon taking reservations, some mom and pop store's contact form, or a local newspaper's letter to the editor form.

All of these things can be done without htmx or JavaScript. It’s just forms.

(You “need” htmx or JavaScript if you need to dispatch a request without actually submitting the form and triggering a new page load, for example to autocomplete an email or get search suggestions. None of your examples need that.)
That "WORKSFORME" tag is such a powerful insult at the users.
This stereotype seems like a hangover from ~40 years ago that's now inconsistent with logic and arithmetic.

Personal computers have been around for longer than young people have been alive.

If you're in your twenties, you can't possibly have forty years of experience using computers.

Not every oldster was using computers and smartphones as soon as they could, but the ones that were increasingly tip the balance.
That's what they want you to believe.

There is a difference between "paid" and "accepts donations", but as people pointed out, Firefox does not accept donations (the Mozilla Foundation does, but that goes towards activism, not towards Firefox development/MDN).
Well, congrats to y'all on good progress with the evaluator, then! That's definitely still worth celebrating. :)
LibreWolf isn't strictly a fork of Firefox, it's a preconfigured installation that locks things down and disables anti-features. So it's strictly accurate to use the Firefox user agent, because that's what actually gets compiled.
I mean, you can do MVC in PHP if you want. I used perl long before I used PHP so the $annotation never bothered me.

I personally like mixing frontend and backend. I get why it's anathema to some, but there are simply tons of use cases where I think the simplicity it offers - being able to capture an entire page of functionality in a single file - outweighs the disadvantages because of the simplicity it offers.

For larger scale applications it's easy to make terrible mistakes leading to spaghetti code - I feel your pain about major crimes and have witnessed a few (and been responsible for some) myself. But this is possible in many languages if you're not using a framework, and modern PHP gives you way more tools to avoid it, even before you look at frameworks, which almost completely obviate the problem.
And, after looking again at HN's API and determining that front pages aren't represented in it ... I'm crawling the 5,939 front pages from 20 Feb 2006 to 25 May 2023 and scraping those to find mentions of states on the actual front pages.

Aggressive crawls result in 403 after a few fetches, so my current attempt has an apparently-adequate delay parameter set. It'll take a day or two for the crawl to complete. Presently up through 22 Sept 2007.

Well, people are talking about 90% efficiency up-thread. You can't need unobtainable levels of power and still have 90% efficiency, as people move boats around every day.

Also, about the need for a coolant, well, the fixed costs for it are on the order of a few $100/m on most cities nowadays. If people start to use lots of it, the fixed costs will fall to zero. (The variable cost isn't high, but it also doesn't dictate the boat size.)

You don't have to build JavaScript; it runs natively in the browser. In fact, the only time when you would have to consider a dedicated build step is if you were using something like TypeScript, or if you wish to use external modules.
In the case of external modules, check out ES6's import syntax. You can import from a URL just like it's an NPM module. I believe a few CDNs are designed to facilitate this use-case too.
The invasion of Ukraine was about the breakdown of multipolarity and loss of Russian strength, not the growth of Russian strength.

This is obvious if you answer the following questions:

1) Was Russian influence and power in Ukraine increasing or decreasing prior to the invasion?

2) Was Russian economic and military power increasing or decreasing in Europe prior to the war?

3) Is Russia stronger or weaker relative to NATO than the USSR was?

I dont see how you can claim US and NATO power is in decline and was challenged more by Russia in 2022 than it was in the 20th century.

To the contrary, the war in Ukraine is the result of growing hegemony in Europe, as hegemony expands outward and more Nations fall into the orbit of the US. Russia is fighting to preserve it's sphere of influence and prevent further collapse of its influence.

I'm not saying that makes Russia a 'good guy", but I don't think there is any other way to interpret the shifting power balance leading up to the war.
I just installed Firefox on a new machine today. The number of switches I had to manually turn off to make it not collect data from me and not show me ads was surprisingly large. And even though I turned off all the ones I saw, I don't know if it was a complete solution.

I really don't want to use Chrome. Please stop with the enshittification, Firefox.

I live in an apartment so I've yet to really see the reach of this thing's lidar. It maps the room almost immediately though, then cleans by first lapping the perimeter of an area then does laps to cover the inside of the perimeter like someone mowing grass. The map is cached from the last full cleaning, so if I wanted it to do some spot cleaning I can define an arbitrary rectangle and specify how many passes I want over that spot (one is always enough, the second pass never picks up anything else). I can also control it manually but the controls have some latency from the app. I love this thing, it fills its chamber entirely with cat hair that I wouldn't even see until sending it out. It also tracks maintenance and tells me when sensors or the filter needs cleaning, or if parts like brushes need replacing (haven't needed one yet).

Oof. It's an important find (AKA the Divje Babe flute[1]), but it's very hard to stay tuned in when they utter the phrase "spiritual being". That's quite a thing to say. How do you measure spirits these days? With wheels, rods, or clocks?

So far as intelligent goes, the Neanderthals might have well been smarter than the first Sapiens to cross their path, but were disadvantaged by other factors, like a potentially ruinous birth rate, more restricted diet, and poorer (or more restricted) eyesight.

One interesting idea I've heard . . for a story . . imagine if sapiens spread HGT-style via a disease, that was transmitted by violence and rape. Like a bio-zombie, or the "Crossed" virus from "Crossed +100" (and which was invented by Garth Ennis, I guess). From the neanderthal perspective, it would have felt like Planet Zombie afterwards - and then they have to make their way among these terrifying new humanoids. The horror of the future. It would probably be more interesting moved to the present day, with a speciating change propagating via what looks like zombie bites, but which actually reflects the early stages of a new species, some weird more-fully-eusocial variant of homo adapted for extreme density.

Yeah ignoring people's personal experiences is how you got a Trump card and will probably get it again in '24. Goes both ways, communist dictatorships certainly got their fuel from out of touch elites. But your insistence that others should scrutinize things on streets that look like human feces rather than enjoying clean streets is telling.
From the Conclusion:

And now this whole post is flagged…
The lines of division aren’t as clear as who appointed who. 9-0 decisions are not uncommon, and recent decisions suggest it may be more of a 3-3-3 court with an Institutionalist axis and the “partisan” axis hyped by the media is obscuring a much more salient Judicial doctrine axis.

But we’ll know more about how well that 3-3-3 theory holds as the body of opinions published by Justices Barrett and Jackson becomes more fleshed out.
> There's sometimes small incremental slow downs as you pass btree depth thresholds and have to add more, but tbh even that's not usually noticeable.

Even this kind of "narrow" slowdown can be substantial. Well, I don't know specifically that it's depth thresholds, but that kind of behaviour - the table passes a certain size and it's suddenly taking 30% longer to insert/read than it did when it was 2% smaller.

> I have seen plenty of instances where the database decides an index is no longer the right access,but gets that wrong, and the result is terrible.. but I see that as a different issue.

IMO it's the same issue, at least from the perspective of the poor chump on call.
That’s a great idea!

Go-arounds are pretty common. I've experienced several in the last 20 years.

* Aborted after wheels on ground at Sheremetyevo (obstacle on runway or perhaps messed up the landing; I never found out)

* Aborted 30' off ground in Albuquerque (severe weather; plane was all over the place on approach)

* Aborted 600-800' off ground on final approach to SeaTac (most passengers never noticed, probably runway did not clear)

* Aborted 400' feet off ground on final approach to O'Hare (severe squall, it was pretty obvious the pilots were not going to land so no surpise)

In the second one there was audible relief in the plane when the pilot gunned the engines to go around. The winds died down and the 2nd pass was a perfect landing.

I don't think the defendant or prosecutor deserves a punishment, but the lower court that made such an egregiously wrong call needs to be corrected somehow.

They are passing problems upstream and making the SC waste time setting precedent on cases that should be blindingly obvious.
In theory sure, except backing out of the more achievable short term pledges as they become relevant says really bad things about the more difficult longer term ones.
The reason for this is probably because the UI team uses Mac. If you look at the cruiser icon on this Fluent 2 introduction page, it's clearly a macOS one with vertical lines on the gloves.

I read a memoir once by a serviceman who heard endless complaints that things were screwed up in the service because the situation was “not real army”. He called it the “real army carrot” because it was intended to get you to stick around until you could experience this mythical “real army” situation. The last straw was when someone said “that’s because we’re at war, real army is peacetime”. Seems like the “real army” would be necessary for fighting wars.

We watched them both back to back the day after watching Resurrection. drunk and high and riffed on them mst3k style so it wasn't bad watching them but when I saw it was in fact Scott I was furious that he accepted those lazy scripts. Wikipedia says two more films are TBA, another Prequal and "Untitled Alien film" for Hulu. God help us.
FWIW, the Firefox devs who were doing the WebReplay time travel debugging POC weren't, as far as I know, fired. Instead, they left and started Replay ( https://replay.io ), a true time-traveling debugger for JavaScript.

I joined Replay as a senior front-end dev a year ago. It's real, it works, we're building it, and it's genuinely life-changing as a developer :)

Not sure how well this would have fit into Firefox as a specific feature, given both the browser C++ runtime customizations and cloud wizardry needed to make this work. But kinda like Rust, it's a thing that spun out of Mozilla and has taken on a life of its own.

Obligatory sales pitch while I'm writing this:

The basic idea of Replay: Use our special browser to make a recording of your app, load the recording in our debugger, and you can pause at any point in the recording. In fact, you can add print statements to any line of code, and it will show you what it would have printed _every time that line of code ran_!

From there, you can jump to any of those print statement hits, and do typical step debugging and inspection of variables. So, it's the best of both worlds - you can use print statements and step debugging, together, at any point in time in the recording.

See https://replay.io/record-bugs for the getting started steps to use Replay, or drop by our Discord at https://replay.io/discord and ask questions.
Try to think about court decisions less in terms of whether you like the policy outcome and more in terms of whether they uphold the rule of law. This was a 9-0 decision so presumably it was based on something more than helping polluters.
I didn't say we are all going to die. I still have hope that despite all the recalcitrant folks constantly bemoaning every attempt at collective action to curb the coming problems that we will survive. But it won't be thanks to said people crying "climate propaganda!" The attitude espoused by OP here is worse than useless. It's thanks to propaganda from ideologues who OPPOSE collective action on climate change that there are huge swaths of people who think it's not an issue at all, or some kind of commie plot. Stop the buffoonery, and stop demonizing people who want to prevent future suffering and ecological degradation.
I turned off ads and I still saw this ad today. It sounds like this one is behind a new setting.

I would love to vote with my wallet. I want to donate to Firefox directly. If they'd given me an option to donate and have the money go to Firefox and not Mozilla's other pet projects, I'd happily have set up a recurring monthly donation for it.
Whichever group/nation abstains from consuming better energy sources will just get run over by the the nations that don't make that mistake. ESG et all are national suicide pacts, look at Europe.

Never seen a tool where the people who don't use it seem to make up some of the craziest, most obscure, weirdest justifications for avoidance. It's totally fine if you're not personally down with HTMX!

However, stating that we're avoiding "idiomatic code" is incorrect. Are you claiming React and JSX and useEffect are idiomatic? Really? Surrounding HTML fragments with return() and attributes with braces is idiomatic? These are literally the antithesis of HTML.

Perhaps the real reason we're happy is that we're experiencing a huge productivity increase, lower cognitive load, fewer difficult bugs, terrific performance, and a great dev experience.
Cool subject matter, would have been nice to have either less jokes or funny jokes.
At flox, we are specifically focusing on those people who are the advocates and bringing Nix into their organizations, teams, and companies. We call them the “Ambassadors”, and want to call out how important that role is in making Nix mainstream. Ideally, it should become the obvious choice - the default choice - where specific reasons need to be provided when not using it.
That's a different case.
I'd argue that neither is any particular JS framework a silver bullet. If HTMX works for their use cases without needing to write any JS then more power to them!
Yeah look there's nothing in the above I'm actively disagreeing with here. What I am disagreeing with is the way you've said that. It isn't productive. It doesn't shed any light on things. It doesn't assume the best of the person you're replying to. It goes nowhere.

There's plenty of other places where this kind of response is welcome. Also @dang will get cross and we can't have that.
A few of those people do, but it’s a minority opinion.

People say same seriously crazy shit about the Ukraine war, but the ground truth is fairly pedestrian as far as recent wars go.

This is a win for sanity, but not a huge win. The court is simply saying if you owe $15,000 in taxes, the local government can take your home, sell it for $40,000 and they can only keep $15,000 of that rather than keeping all the proceeds. Wait, what? Back up a second. Why the hell can the county simply take your home in the first place? The court didn't address the heinous practice of Tax Foreclosure at all. If someone owes a debt, place a lein on the property that prevents it from being sold until the owner makes good... or work out some kind of installment plan. It should not be legal to simply -yoink- take someone's home that they paid for and rely on for shelter. That's pretty messed up.
