What about where you're not just deleting a single entity by id? Like, for instance where a user can bulk select multiple items and then choose to delete them all (like email for instance), or maybe deleting by criteria, like "delete all Entities created before time X"

A fair question.

For me it means I’m able to have the same flows and capabilities available regardless of platform or “terminal” I’m using and not have to depend on a particular machine, OS or Outlook “installation”.

There are use-cases which are less supported, like dealing with EML-files, which I too consider a notable loss. Hopefully they manage to bring that back.

That feels a little uncharitable, you’re completely ignoring the time involved, and fact this creator learned Blender just before starting to create these videos.

I don’t know about you, but these videos definitely fall into the impressive category for me. Looking at his publish history, he’s producing one of these videos every few months. Works like the one you link too usually take years for a single person to create.

Comparing someone’s passion art project to someone’s educational videos using CGI, is like complaining that every diagram in a physics text book isn’t a work of art on par with the Mona Lisa.
I am very pleasantly surprised that when I tried to open it in my ancient iPad 4 (iOS 10), it opened without any major problems, and it was actually quite usable and responsive. I was really prepared for a rant about new websites, but maybe later, and maybe about another website.
This feels like the wrong way to look at things. It's not that it's "difficult" to switch from React/Vue to htmx - it's that it's easier to build with htmx in the first place. I wouldn't throw out completed code, but I'd seriously consider using it next time you start something new.

The general philosophy is that "React etc are great for some things, but they are being used way outside of their sweet spots". There will always be a gray area - and your existing habits and skills are also a factor but for some of us - the "SPA framework" approach always smelt fishy for typical web builds.

That was done in 2005. But the task of auditing the supply chain to ensure that every single shared library you ever linked with was compiled a certain way was still hard. Nothing prevented an intern or a new employee from checking in a library without frame pointers into the third-party repo.

In 2024, you'd probably create a "build container" that all developers are required to use to build binaries or pay a linux distributor to build that container.

But cross compilation was the preferred approach back then. So all binaries had a rpath (run time search path to look for shared library) that ignored the distributor supplied libraries.

Having come from a open source background, I found this system hard to digest. But there was a lot of social pressure to work as a bee in a system that thousands of other very competent engineers are using (quite successfully).

I remember briefly talking to a chrome OS related group who were using the "build your own custom distro" approach, before deciding to move to another faang.
Tiny drones are having a moment right now, but anti-drone tech will probably catch up in short order, both electronic warfare and systems to actually shoot them down.

It shows that if some people find the subscription worthwhile for a time then it will likely continue to do so for more people. The fact it generally tops out at $10,000 per month per app might just indicate a race to the bottom with copycats.

It feels great to say "You can't just slap a subscription on to your app or put up a paywall over every feature and expect to make bank" but of course this report is not the full story of every app business model.

And app devs are not all that dumb, if they have something with potential they will nurse it towards the best outcome. I'm sure a non insignifcant amount of subs are donation subscriptions set at a low yearly amount to set a better pace for ongoing feature development - devs that only want to work as hard as the potential extra cash permits them.

> Unless you're trying to use them to enforce hardware DRM for you

Oh FFS ! Not everything has to bubble down to the same old FLOSS claptrap you know !

> Lack of attestation is a good thing.

Had you read a few of the comments before posting, you would have learnt that regulated environments and sensitive use cases are two of many concepts that you would do well to think about before jumping on your "stick it to the man, no DRM !" bandwagon.

The Financial Sector is a low-hanging fruit example. If I'm trusting you to put on million-dollar trades, then I damn well want to know its you at the computer and not some Russian hacker who has has inevitably exfiltrated your credentials which were stored in software with Passkeys.

If I give you a Yubikey:

- I can force you to enter a password to "arm" it for use every time, no caching
- I can force you to physically touch it to execute the transaction
- Through hardware attestation I can know it is your Yubikey that I gave you
- I can force it to lock the key if the wrong password is entered too many times
- If you loose your Yubikey, I can kill access
- Many other things...

Time and time again software has shown us that you cannot trust it with secrets. That's why HSMs exist, that's why Yubikeys exist.

The modern world is a scary place in terms of security, hardware attestation is a CRITICAL part of the security onion.

Ha!, I knew someone would come back with this.

Consider this: If I were to say, “In Tokyo, people stand on the left side of the escalator and walk on the right side, opposite to Osaka,” would you automatically assume I'm a Tokyo resident? Probably not, right?

Had the initial commenter simply replaced “In my city […]” with the actual city name, it would likely have been interpreted as general knowledge they picked up along the way. Sure, some might mistakenly assume they hail from or currently reside in said city, but in reality, it’s not a big deal. Take me, for instance—I live in Copenhagen and I’m 100% sure no one will be able to do anything useful with that information.

Providing context is key, especially in online forums like this. Simply stating the city name would have enriched the discussion far more than leaving it ambiguous.

Bitcoin self-custody is still an unsolved problem.

Public "best practice" is to order a hardware wallet from some popular manufacturer and then follow the steps laid out on the manufacturers' website. That approach has a plethora of security issues.

I have grilled multiple people who claim to be knowledgeable with Bitcoin, and not a single one could lay out a system to securely create a wallet. Everyone had a strong opinion on how to do it, but none of their approaches were secure.

A community vetted step-by-step guide on how to self-custody without being exposed to the incompetence or malice of a single party would be a big step forward for Bitcoin.

I don’t see it as controversial at all. The major news media organizations were able to capitalize and make more money due to increased demand for content involving Trump from both those who support and oppose him.

It’s just a mathematical fact. Many news organizations report revenue and viewership figures that bear this out.
Well, for one, slowness of adoption usually translates to "let's milk the crap out of the government's dollars for as long as we can without putting too much of our own money into it". LHM's stock (as well as other major contractors) seems to be a good indicator of that.

I have a relative who recently (2 years ago) called it a career after roughly 40 years at Lockheed-Martin, and a good chunk of that time was within the Skunk Works division. What I was able to gleam from him is that LHM sees the future of aerial warfare as a hybrid of manned and unmanned vehicles. The idea is that a 6th or 7th gen fighter might be a "mothership" of sorts with much more powerful weapons such as bombs or heavier artillery , but also in control of a number of unmanned drones capable of significantly faster attack abilities but with lighter armaments or laser weapons, all to replace current dogfighting scenarios.

Fascinating, but terrifying at the same time.

> But let’s not pretend we’re getting nothing in return. This is a massive improvement for developers.

If you mean developer end users: those are either by company policy tied to use Windows because corporate antimalware like SEP, Zscaler or WDATP can be deployed and managed remote - or they could just use the web mail and pin that to their desktop as a native app. The “new Outlook” is just a web app, really.

Lots of discussion on the official Defense post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39685612
Defense contractors make heaps of money on big, drawn out projects like the F35. They probably stand to make much less if they pivot to compete with COTS drones carrying IEDs. So it's not surprising to me that the military industrial complex is more interested in milking the government for cash than actually innovating towards superior combat efficiency and effectiveness.

>delivered via a rocket anywhere on earth in 30 minutes or less

Which rocket are you imagining as the delivery platform? I hope it is not any of SpaceX's rockets, which probably need 30 min just to fuel them up -- and once they're fueled, they have to be launched in a few days or undergo an expensive disassembly process to prevent corrosion caused by fuel residue.

The US Air Force used liquid-fueled ICBMs for about 10 years, then in the 1960s switched to solid fueled because of the disadvantages described above.
Too many unknowns to be predictable.

We've got loads of machine labour already, we don't yet plug AI into it everywhere because humans are much better at avoiding accidents (not immune, but much better). Get AI good enough, the mining equipment, the delivery trucks, the factories, can all be fully automated (bits of each already are). You're now limited by how fast (and how far) your robotic workforce can increase it's own size.

How fast is unknown until we do it, but it wouldn't be particularly surprising if a group of robots could double their number in 6 months. How far is also unknown until we do it, my guess is that there are loads of limits to growth we've just not bothered thinking about yet because we don't need to. On the one hand: I'd be surprised if it worked out as less than one humanoid robot per capita using only things found on Earth; on the other: I expect it to vary by country.

Even "just" one per person is enough for everyone to have a life of luxury. (But of course, by medieval standards, I could say that about "clean indoor plumbing" and "bedrooms").

But if we're never limited by trace elements, then the upper limit is a paperclip maximiser (in the bad ending) or a Dyson swarm (in the good ending).

Both endings can (in principle and if I ignore all the unknowns) be reached in my lifetime.
The video seems to fall ever so slightly within the uncanny valley. The quality of renders and animation, especially the motion capture and facial animations, is far beyond anything I’ve come to expect from individual creators.

But it does seem to have landed just within the far edge of the uncanny valley. Often good enough that you don’t really notice, but occasional moments where it feels very odd and distracting.

It does also look like he’s had to make some compromises on render quality. There’s render noise appearing and disappearing at times, which is usually an indication that not enough rays were used during ray tracing, resulting in some pixels have very odd colour values. I can only assume that just the result to having to trade off between render time and render quality, especially as it seems he’s putting in quite a lot of effort to make sure the render and simulations are physically accurate. A very computational expensive thing to do, especially when trying to render crazyness like black holes that warp and distort space time.
Yeah I don’t think so.

The point of the comment is to point out that putting human misery into people’s faces isn’t a value-neutral decision.

I don’t want to see trauma surgery or graphic sex on the way to the park with my kids either, though I am of course fine with both existing in the world.
Htmx is what you want for making websites.

This means, that almost all uses of react and friends are wrong, a waste, or an unnecessary complication.

So, if you are serving HTML, then htmx.

When you reach for react? If you are making an app of the kind that you should have use a non-web thing (because is now necessary to bend with major complicated hacks HTML to make a clone of Photoshop).

(and in short amounts like creating complex widgets like maps, selects, etc).

---

I work for eCommerce, and there is terrible to use React: It is too easy to make "hacker-friendly" websites when using it: INSTEAD, you MUST validate, format, process, render, and display all on the server side.

For me, I retain all the logic on Rust, display HTML, and just put some extra interactivity with htmx, that because at the server-side is the same as without, means I CAN'T INTRODUCE A SECUIRITY BUG.
Meta is wasting all kind of money ($40B across 2 years) on Nvidia, SMCI, and their own gear. SMCI and Nvidia stocks are now overvalued because there are no fundamentals to sustain this business. OpenAI/Microsoft may be an exception, but Meta is wasting money it doesn't have on profits that aren't there. These data centers and servers are being built on orders of Zuck without a concrete, specific product or purpose for their use. This is akin to a newbie business owner buying lots of inventory without orders.

I agree with your second paragraph. I think the bait of "lowtech" name is thinking that the main goal is doing AI with stick and mud. It's one of the goal (ofc not literally ), but the most important one is showing alternative and inviting people to think about what is really "technology" and its implications. Mainly because browsing a website hide a ton of processes that one user don't have to think about it.
