I wondered how Unicorn compared to htmx. They're giving an answer on their website:

htmx and alpine.js are great libraries to provide interactivity to your HTML. Both of those libraries are generalized front-end framework that you could use with any server-side framework (or just regular HTML). They are both well-supported, battle-tested, and answers to how they work are probably Google-able (or on Stackoverflow).

Unicorn isn’t in the same league as either htmx or alpine.js. But, the benefit of Unicorn is that it is tightly integrated with Django and it should “feel” like an extension of the core Django experience. For example:

* redirecting from an action uses the Django redirect shortcut

* validation uses Django forms

* Django Models are tightly integrated

* Django messages “just work” the way you would expect them to

* you won’t have to create extra URLs/views for AJAX calls to send back HTML because Unicorn handles all of that for you
> - Since Apple is currently charging 30%, another app store might charge only 10% and so you might be able to get your spotify subscription for 20% less

That's nice in theory. In practice I'm sure it will be they charge the same amount and pocket the other 20%.
yeah, while having an allergy to the word TikTok misses the point that the appeal is affective communication, something that academics objectively lack. Its about the incentive to communicate succinctly in an engaging way, entire fields and other platforms did not create that incentive and one successfully did. hence, why it is mentioned.

besides that, I appreciate the resources!

Not even close. Cold fusion was not something we thought was possible under our understanding of physics at the time (Muon-catalyzed fusion isn't what they thought CF was and there are all sorts of things that make it not really something that we expect to ever be particularly useful for power generation, etc., so not much purpose in talking about it)

Meanwhile, all our known physics have no issue with an RTAPS existing.

So in your view, what is the opposite of "closed source"?

Is your definition the one that 99% of English speaking humans would agree with?

Why should the opposite of "closed closed source" be one groups ideological checklist, that's really an offshoot of "free software", a radical, anti-property ideology that is generally not accepted - and thus the GPL licenses are generally unpopular.

Why does the OSI bother to maintain a trademark on "OSI Approved License"? Isn't that hypocritical? If not, why not?

In my view, the OSI does have value, and "OSI Approved Licenses" are useful to know about, just like "FSF Approved Licenses" are good to know about... But they should not pretend to own language and have trademark on "Open Source" when the USPTO denied them a trademark:

https://opensource.org/pressreleases/certified-open-source.p...

Also, there is extensive documented "prior to 1998" use of the term "open-source" meaning exactly "the opposite of closed-source", rather than someones ideological checklist:

As far as I understand UnicornView attributes (such as `self.tasks`) simply synchronise client state with the server side. It doesn't seem to automagically create a model instance unless you specifically do it.
They take a cut like any other storefront while also doing far more for me than any normal retailer ever has. I fail to see the problem unless you're just fundamentally against all forms of capitalism.

Also, what do you mean gamers complain about the price of games? Console, sure, with the new standard MSRP. But what does that have to do with Steam? Games are cheaper than they've ever been. One of the arguably best RPGs of recent times launched at 60 Euros with no microtransactions.

What exactly are you expecting? Do you want Valve to be a charity?
I think it’s just a great metaphor, and an experience I seem to relive over and over. Every time I think I have something figured out, hindsight always shows me I didn’t.

Hell i could add more. The current best json lib in erlang is a literal (called out for it in its readme) copy of the Jason elixir one in erlang.

My hyperloglog erlang lib is one of the most advanced in any language (behind what Omar Ertl does for Java) and i come wholesale from elixir.

I have my own code, as an elixir person, in OTP, for the formatting of float to string. The maybe construct was only possible because elixir with showed the way.

I worry about this method of getting Stripe support. First, HN only seems to be effective for Stripe support if you can get enough attention, otherwise these posts seem to get no attention. I worry that one day, I too will need help with some stupid Stripe issue, and when I post something on HN it will just be ignored and won't go anywhere. Second, it's sad that this is the way to get any sort of support at all. Tech surely has regressed in the past decade.
> … which starts with おっしゃる, 下さる, いただく, お～になる and so on. And again, those are everyday usages that are perfectly reasonable for even an intermediate learner to want to practice

Serious question…

Unless this “intermediate learner” works in a Japanese-language position (like a 会社員), is a diplomat, or is involved in a traditional art (or these types of relatively rare categories), in what context would they ever produce utterances using any of these words appropriately and naturally?

This is just not the type of language that intermediate learners need to produce very often. When they do, their organization will most likely train them beforehand, use an interpreter, or just not care.

I lived in Japan 8 years, and I worked in a Japanese-language environment. I’m pretty sure the times I had the opportunity to use any of the words you listed appropriately could probably be counted on my fingers and maybe extending to my toes.

Granted, I was not in a position of power (those folks used keigo all the time), and I was not directly involved in any highish stakes negotiations or business transactions (e.g., didn’t buy a house) but still…
> I imagine this probably also includes astroturfing to apply pressure on companies who don't go "all the way" and basically subsidise their competitors for free.

I think you are exactly correct.

It's deeply disturbing that the OSI out of one side of their mouth says "indie developers, you should forgo any right to your own software or not truly open-source" and out of the other side of their mouth collects donations from giant internet monopolies that freeload...

MIT/BSD/Public Domain licenses long pre-date the OSI.

The FSF is it's own thing...

What's even the point of the OSI beyond trying to pressure developers to drop their creations into the public domain to be stolen?
> I would definitely be curious to know why - the emulation of Genesis is notably behind most other video game consoles but I always assumed this was because of less interest and not because of any unique technical challenges.

I guess it sort of depends on what you mean, but I don't think there are dramatic differences in emulation quality between the Genesis and other consoles of its generation. Admittedly, I am rather biased since I'm the author of one of those, but I think outside the add-ons Genesis emulation is in pretty good shape overall. Both Ares and BlastEm acquit themselves well on the most demanding demoscene prod[0] for the system and even Genesis Plus GX is fairly accurate for a more performance-focused emulator.

Now none of those are perfect and I think it would probably be fair to say that they are less-perfect than Higan is/was for the SNES (though it wasn't perfect either), but I don't think the delta is huge.

Now once you add the Sega CD and 32X things are definitely worse, but those combined systems are considerably more complicated to emulate than any of the base consoles of that era while also being much less popular.

I disagree, I think it’s unhealthy for every bit of bad climate news to “upset” you.

Same with people claiming ‘climate anxiety’ is good for children because it encourages action: constant negative emotions encourage pointless reflexive behaviour like gluing yourself to a road.

Bee colonies in the US have had lots of problems for a long time. Linking bee survival to climate change is an effective way to make heatwave story more exciting. The fear is needed to make it interesting. But the fear isn’t really helpful.
My sister was a real swimmer and she enjoyed beaches like OB or IB, but I always thought they were so grungy. Coronado is/was so pristine and sparkling compared to the others, plus you've got views of the Hotel Del AND North Island N.A.S. at the same time!

Every time I had a girl in San Diego, and she wanted to go to the beach, day or night, it had to be Coronado, and so over the bridge I'd drive! Great Victorian homes there too, imported brick-by-brick.
Hmm I don't think they are cryptographically protected, it's a security by difficulty thing (obscurity?) - iso is not a "simple" format so corrupting is not simple, either.

On the other hand as you said, physical media can have a strong(er) security guarantee (write once at the physical layer), and iso's are easier to burn than disk images...

Optical media can still be bought and drives still work fine...and there are other advantages to optical media (such as longevity) that as of yet drives can't replicate.
I use em on my CPU (5900x and 128gb RAM) since my 2080 Ti is a bit too small. Gpt4all works great. Can load up big ass models no problem. The speed isn't an issue for me.
I'm honestly curious about Epic and where they are heading these days. They no longer need to compete in this market since they had their breakout with Fortnite and most of their revenue comes from there anyway.

I understand their work on Unreal Engine (UE) since Fortnite is built on top of UE, but I don't understand the rest of their ecosystem and why Epic game store even exists.
Nothing is fair. Stop being selfish. The absurdly wealthy showcase sociopathic tendencies and will choose things in their self interest at the expense of the rest of us. Doing something because the opulent does will only create a tragedy of the commons that will only accelerate the death knell of global warming and climate catastrophe.

1. some diseases will be possible to fix, like metabolic problems, but where structures are already formed in an adult organism this will be impossible. Like Autism. Go ahead, change every chromosome in every cell, the malformed brain structures will remain.

2. Sure there will be ignition, but the facilities will be wildly too expensive for commercial power.

3. will never happen with conventional computing hardware. Maybe if someone figures out how to grow actual neurons
Also consider just how many people will be working on this with nation-state budgets. It has such general applications that nearly every field tangentially connected to electricity or magnetism would be interested.

It wouldn't be like the investment in something that would be similarly revolutionary but with a less certain end game like fusion.
> 1. stop overfishing by switching to plant based diets

Switching to fish raised in fish farms in the open ocean / fresh water fish raised in farms (which are often local) should already be a large improvement, even if it isn't optimal, especially right now when those captive fish are fed fish caught in open waters.

Also hope you like mussels and clams, because raising those in farms has little ecological impact and might actually reduce net CO2 by sequestering it in their shells.
The Economic Case for Generative AI
I actually like htmx (I find Unpoly superior so that’s what I use, but it’s the same general idea) and the example given makes sense, but one should not extend locality of behaviour to the point of sprinkling SQL in templates. I don’t think that’s what the htmx folks had in mind in this essay either, their canonical example being the html/css/js trio. But hey… there’s no better experience than first-hand experience, you will find soon enough if it works for you.

> I’m not sure what you mean by “they aren’t doing it”.

Making the web impossible to use if you don't fit into their specific requirements. WEI is just another signal. It won't be the only signal for the vast majority of the web. Google cannot do anything to break the web without the help of Apple. Frankly, Apple has a better chance of breaking anything open than Google does. Apple has the vertical control. Google has what? Chrome? I just don't understand how people seem to think Google has all this power, but continue to ignore Apple.

> WEI doesn’t exist yet, obviously nobody is blocking clients who aren’t attested.

Yet a lot people seemingly know its going to do this, that, and some other bad thing even though there is no proof and stated goals which are the opposite.

> More to the point, even the author of this proposal has recognized this is an issue, identified it as so in the proposal, then failed to put forward a workable solution. That’s my problem.

They cannot prevent websites from requiring X to access their sites. There is no workable solution to force someone to accept traffic against their wishes. If they only accept requests with some custom header, that's their prerogative. Many features of browsers have been (ab)used for "nefarious" purposes. Should we get rid of those? This whole thing feels like since Trump is not president in the US any more, certain people need a boogeyman and are using Google in his place. Anything Google does is automatically bad.

I'm not suggesting injecting sulfur across the whole Earth, just near hurricanes. We also now have a natural experiment, where the sulfur from ships at sea was decreased and we have observed a significant effect and can correlate that to the amount of sulfur. So I'm suggesting a tailored intervention for specific hurricanes that are predicted to make landfall and cause damage. Let the others proceed as they will. The idea could be tested with a hurricane out at sea, away from everything else. The military could do it as a training exercise.
a failure (or sabotage?) compared to the m1 models that
worked properly without the expensive “upgrade”

I don't know the specifics, but the "lowest-capacity model has reduced performance because there's only a single chip instead of multiple chips being used in parallel" has been the case with SSDs for just about as long as they've been around and it is definitely not an Apple-specific thing.

My understanding is this: when the lowest-capacity model is only using a single chip, it's because the manufacturer is no longer making smaller sizes. For example, Apple's supplier(s) may not even be making 128GB NAND chips any more or may be discontinuing them soon, so they don't even have the option of using 128GB+128GB instead of 256GB.

They are different concepts. Torpor essentially just means "slow and lazy", scientifically it refers to a down regulation of body temperature and/or metabolism, but doesn't reflect on the REASON for it.

Lethargy is slowness specifically caused by how you feel - fatigue, nausea, dizziness, sleepiness, that sort of thing.

Languid is a closer synonym to torpor, although it can actually refer to either meaning, essentially (slow OR tired).
China isn’t the biggest polluter per capita, that’s probably some small middle Eastern country that really doesn’t give a damn. Americans consume a lot, which is where their carbon footprint comes from. Chinese still don’t consume as much, and so don’t pollute as much, as Americans. Is that really fair? The Chinese don’t think so, and despite how much I dislike the

I live in southern New Mexico and previously lived in Arizona.

There are at least two hives of wild bees near my house. I don't know where the hives are, but I know it is more then one because the bees leave in two different directions. I put out water for them in a pan and during these super hot days the pan is covered in bees. I also know the bees are wild because I have no neighbors and no one would put hives out here.

When I lived in Phoenix I had bees invade my apartment one time. They built a nest in the apartment wall of my bedroom (the wall was hollow with stucco). The upstairs neighbor called and complained about bees, and maintenance came and spray foamed the bees hole. Whereupon the bees proceeded to eat a hole out through my windowsill and into my bedroom. I came home one day and apartment was full of bees and they had to get a specialist. I sat in my vehicle (with the windows rolled up) and watched him cut open the wall and extract an amazing amount of honey and pesticide a huge cloud of bees.

I don't fully believe the alarm in the article. Bees are all over Arizona. But I do believe intense heat probably affects domestic hives. However I think for the most part with water they do just fine as a colony. I've observed it, it has been 110F many days here this summer and there is no shortage of bees at all.

They survive in very hot weather fine if they have water. They seem to spend a great deal of their day at water holes and they must carry some back to the hive somehow. During the hottest part of the day they seem inactive. I think cold is actually much more deadly to bees.
