jQuery is not awesome.

It was awesome 15 years ago. Now it's completely outdated. It's very hard to reason about DOM that can be manually changed by any random piece of code. That's why declarative solutions like React/Vue/Svelte are so much better.
I like Vue's reactive nature the best (specifically `v-if`, `v-for`), but jQuery was the one that got me over the hump before I actually knew Javascript.

And I encourage most projects that use a lot of jQuery to consider using jQuery's CDN version as there is like a 50%+ chance the person already has it cached on their system.
It's funny, I just spent a bunch of time removing the last vestiges of react for a company, replacing it with HTMX, which imo is the spiritual successor to jQuery in some ways

> I'm surprised you don't know the term opportunity cost.

Assumptions. I know it. I'm saying that it makes zero sense to put it in your equation as you have. Your equation appears to be per employee (but you are not talking about the employee opportunity cost). You are adding in the business opportunity cost of money to your equation - a per business cost not a per employee cost. Again you are mixing implicit types which makes your equation meaningless.

You are making the assumption. I never said that and I certainly don't think it.

When I moved from a tech company to an aero company who used mainframes, there were literally hordes of IBM contractors who helped maintain the mainframe environments. Getting anything done in those environments was a multi month project, even for basic stuff like patching the OS. There were probably 2 or more sysadmins per rack, employed to just keep the damn lights on those boxes.

For context, there was about 1 admin for every 400 servers at the tech company, and that was for the entire tech stack (LAMP).

Mainframes require a lot of care and feeding. In my experience, having worked at 3 different companies who relied on them (education, aero and finance), their capex is higher, their opex is higher and their uptime / reliability is entirely dependent on the facilities / staffing.

I'm consistently surprised by the commenters on HN who seem to think jQuery is just a DOM selection library, when in fact it is a widely supported, incredibly stable tool set for (yes) DOM selection, but also attribute manipulation, Ajax requests, event handling, animation, and general utility functions. What's more, where there _is_ native functionality that replaces jQuery, the API is never as fluent.

For work that needs a little enhancement on top of server-side HTML, but not a full-blown JS UI framework, jQuery is a small price to pay for a stable, reliable, and cross-browser compatible dependency.

I used Pi-Hole, then went to NextDNS, then to AdGuard DNS, tinkered with AdGuard Home, and currently testing Control-D. They are all actually pretty good, similar features, and it has become just a matter of personal choice.

In all fairness, when I have some time and can invest in decent hardwares, I might go back to AdGuard Home with one of the paid services as backup for travel, and for the other family members.

Pi-Hole works really well but once-a-while, when I'm traveling, it will decide to act up and it's a whole IT support with the family over phone for minutes if not hours. I'm not smart enough to setup a secure enough tunnel and the like, and haven't read up enough on the topic. This follows similar pattern with AdGuard Home.

NextDNS, AdGuard DNS, Control-D are easy and just works, especially with the devices that the family uses. I think I bought one of those AdGuard Lifetime license, so I use that to block client-side rendered ads in conjunction with either AdGuard DNS or NextDNS or Control-D. Right now, Control-D is doing pretty good with my test-drive.

Edit: The other reason is that many websites such as the Governments’, Banks (at-least in India) seldom works with Pi-Hole or AdGuard Home. With the other tools, I can turn off for a while, and go Internet-Naked and do the transactions, pay the insurance, etc.

I don't mean to be overly snarky here, but as someone who's just totally out of their depth in modern web UI - is that why people like these frameworks? Because they're very easy to reason about? I've generally found them to be mountains and mountains of boilerplate and spaghetti, but I really do not have a wide base of experience to pull from on this topic.
Second to that: jQuery is awesome.

Or more specifically: the idea that websites can be built with vanilla HTML, CSS, and _optional_ JS. jQuery embraces progressive enhancement and separation of concerns pattern, which is quite the opposite of how websites are built these days. Web development starts with 10+ React import statements for components, CSS, images, and whatnot. JavaScript is a must, not optional.
A government should be the servant of its people, not their master; you're talking like the city naturally owns the land and other entities should have access to it on sufferance, which is backwards - especially in the case of Harvard which is likely older than the city government (and certainly older than city provision of electricity, roads, and schooling as GP was talking about). Blocking people from owning land today in case the city runs out of money in the future is putting the cart thoroughly before the horse.

For RAG applications, starting simply with a reference to the most relevant chunk(s) is helpful in building transparency. A lot of our contract review task is a data extraction one (e.g. extract this type of insurance language and compare against your policy). As such, it's much easier to pinpoint the exact text from the source doc for citation. In our applications, currently, we are doing citations as a postprocessing task as opposed to as part of the prompt itself. Finding that feeding too many instructions to the LLM results in worse responses.

We're not fine-tuning today. Instead, "tuning for precision" is done through prompt chains. A simple example would be returning "I don't know" early on if the document isn't a contract or doesn't have clear insurance requirements in it. We've had success with various guardrail prompts.

The citation work we did at Google used model internals to highlight text (path integrated gradients). It's also easier to finetune for precision when you have control over the model itself.
Meh. Users have no issue picking an email provider. They can pay with money (eg proton) or with their data (Google, Hotmail), champion their local identity (think gmx.de) and they manage to pick the one that works for them. Why should Mastodon's diversity be an additional burden?

In fact a lot of people are now on Mastodon because they picked Instagram. Soon another platform may follow suit and federate. I'm sure users will understand pretty quickly that they can communicate cross platform just like a Gmail user can mail a Hotmail one.

It's really not that hard to grok.

Author claims it is editable in regular editors, but there are no newlines there, so it would be just one huge line; I cannot imagine doing any edits other than simplest typos. And with the delimiters so similar, even copy-pasting lines around would be fraught with error. I suppose you can have editor plugin to wrap lines, but if we are talking about editor plugins, might as well use some other well-known format.

I don't see why one would ever use it over CSV or JSON/JSONlines or your favorite binary formats.
I think a lot of people might say only IBM sells mainframes - the “z” system.

It’s designed to work as a single high-availability machine with a focus on I/O speeds, rather than a PC cluster that implements high availability at the application level and communicates over IP. You can hot swap faulty components without turning it off. I haven’t ever used one, but I believe you write application code without worrying about such details - the hardware and the libraries you link against will just “make it work”.

Perhaps my knowledge is slightly off though.
All correct. You're making my same points.

I'm illustrating a real world scenario where such a mapping may not be possible.

Further, if the issue is a global problem, like filesystem corruption, it becomes even more ambiguous -- maybe that write could have worked or maybe it wouldn't, but the filesystem may just globally make everything read only and start failing writes.

So my point is that these errors were meant for catastrophic failures that don't map neatly into being handled with the process. In a modern kernel there are way fewer of these conditions than was acceptable in the early 90s. But there are a few similar things that are still common.
I love it for admin pages.

> It's very hard to reason about DOM that can be manually changed by any random piece of code.

I think the parents point is that many websites don't need to change all that much DOM manually, automatically, or in any fashion. And I would agree with them, that for when the only 'dynamic' part of your site is one or two simple forms, and maybe a little carousel of images, jQuery may be perfectly awesome.
I'm not a web developer but sometimes I have to make a page with some JS functionality. jQuery saves me a lot of time in such cases
