Australia is a good counter example.

We use preferential voting and haven't had a minority government, that is a government formed by coalition as the result of an election since 2010. We still typically have 2 major parties and 3-4 minor parties that can (but by no means always) hold the balance of power, particularly in the senate. It means that the govt has to compromise more often to get bills passed, but the minority parties rarely hold legislation hostage (barring things like the Housing Future Fund, which was a dog's breakfast).

I think the glaring omission in the article is “are the tic tacs sentient?” Because that ultimately does decide the question, whether our hypothetical fascist accepts the answer or not. If indeed as that other commenter stated, tic tacs are a stand in for fetuses, then they are categorically not sentient. The vast, vast, vast majority of abortions occur before the fetus is even large enough to constitute a notable amount of tissue death, in comparison to something like biting a piece of your lip off. Brain activity is a null issue, there’s no brain yet.

But of course a core tenet of fascism is the rejection of intellectualism, so this will be unappealing. However fascists frequently have that niggling problem where reality keeps proving their bullshit to be… well, bullshit. Which is why to the majority of properly thinking people it’s a ridiculous system of thought and governance.
Anecdotally, yes, but only if it's a single lane, like ones used to replace 4-way stops.

In contrast, every single one with multiple concentric lanes is a source of merge/blind-spot anxiety. Even if you gain familiarity with how one of the variants near you works, I have to worry about the other cars.
Show HN: I created a tool that helps developers generate fake data for databases
Hi, everyone! Lately, I've been working on quite a few applications that require a database, and as a result, I need some data to test everything. It has always taken me a lot of time to ask ChatGPT to generate fake data for me, so I decided to create a tool for developers called FakeData. FakeData allows developers to generate fake data easily with a simple UI/UX and customizable fields. This data can be used in their applications to test various functionalities. P.S. The app is not yet finished, and I would love to hear your honest feedback on it. Please be brutally honest about what you like and what you don’t!

We do, broadly, have a problem in Canada with people blaming the federal govt for things that are not under its jurisdiction. We have a very federal system, and the provinces have a lot of power.

But in this case, yes, I think federal policy is directly implicated.
I love these new distributed DBs. CockroachDB is one of them. Still I think a managed Postgres/MySQL is a better choice. My primary concern is how challenging will it be if you have to eventually move your data out to a RDBMS for cost or other reasons. Does anyone have any experience ? I am not talking enterprise scale but data about size of 50 - 100GB scale.
Multiple notifications are a great feature. I use two: "10 minutes before" and "1 minute before".

Because 10 minutes is just enough to wrap up something I'm in the middle of, and simultaneously, 10 minutes is well past long enough to get distracted if I'm not already deep in the middle of something. :)

I can't imagine looking at Republican Rome or any of the tyrants in the ancient world and thinking they're better.

The Republic fell because a bunch of senators were too greedy and refused to do basic land reform or anything else to make life better for anyone other than themselves.

I think web components would be an excellent pairing with htmx. You get some kind of component abstraction (admittedly janky in some ways, though libraries like lit or atomico make this much better). But crucially you get automatic upgrade/initialize behaviour whenever the browser encounters a custom element. So the backend can just send down the custom elements as plain html, you don't need to wire anything up, the browser will bring them to life.

It's not management. It's lawmaking without any control. Typical management can't blatantly defy laws because the public will grow suspicions and law enforcement will eventually intervene(or the public will in form of a violent uprising). But law enforcement has little to no leverages against software, which makes code law.
The goal goes even further -- to privatize economic gains (e.g. advertising revenues, SaaS revenues) while socializing costs and risks (e.g. increasing social divisiveness by stoking outrage, increasing poor self-image by comparisons with carefully curated images by others, increasing obesity by always getting people to think about processed food, increasing depression rates by face-to-face social isolation, addiction to dopamine hits by hijacking the startle/novelty attention reflex, increasing financial distress by retail therapy, not paying a fair living wage to gig workers so they are essentially mining their cars and wardrobe and health and skills without replenishing them, loss of privacy by being tracked everywhere online, loss of security from identity theft from careless exposure of collected information, the potential for poorly-regulated hyper-competitive superhuman AI destroying human society as we know it, and so on).

i don't think so

but here's some facets of audiences i notice on most people, and my takes on it.

- people who think elon is no inventor, that he just hires people and takes credit of their work. i do think he clearly can spot talent and create environments for these people to work effectively and efficiently.

- people who think elon is so rich in cash, that he should just start giving money away. i think yes rich, but not cash rich. most of rich people's assets are on paper, and most use it as collateral and take loans against it to fund other projects.

- people who think elon is out to censor them. i think X hits a balance of freedom and audience size here. platforms like fb, ig, yt, tiktok are for general audience with a lot of limits. threads, bluesky, mastodon have the least restrictions but less audience. X has some restrictions but the maximum audience.

- people who think elon's projets are useless, that electric cars are useless, building rockets is pointless, that chips shouldn't be planted on humans. i think not.

- people who think elon is far right. i don't think he is, specially the recent discussions about immigrations. he was center-left before, and now i think he's center-right. i think he's really doing a great job using X as a platform for both far-left and far-right to talk about things and find a middle ground.

i think the funniest bit was when one side wants to fully allow immigrants, while the other side wants to fully ban immigrants, then both centers of the side are the ones who want to hit the sweet spot of allowing immigrants BUT filtering them carefully for qualifications on what value they can bring to the country.

then days later, all sides are in unison and in agreement because some kids are getting gang raped in Europe.

X is free, i paid for it, i think i still owe it some money.

> the verdict is clear

Not to me.

I know there's plenty of junk, but if you opt out of the node ecosystem in its entirety, you're essentially opting out of most of javascript development as well, which is a substantial part of web development.

That's your choice, but you're missing out on a lot of good and useful things... just in terms of software development but also in terms of meeting whatever your business needs are (if you're trying to make money).

Javascript static analysis tools can be very useful (like TS and eslint). app frameworks can provide routing, UI frameworks, UI controls, validation libraries, etc. that you would otherwise have to implement on your own.

These are all part of the node ecosystem. htmx is part of the node ecosystem. IDK, lumping it all together doesn't make sense to me because there's a lot lost and little gained.
To be honest, I can't shake the suspicion that a fair share of the talking is not homegrown.

> Facebook stated that they had removed fake users that were set up in overseas content farms, in Romania, Vietnam, and Bangladesh, which were promoting the convoy protests in Canada. (https://ca.news.yahoo.com/u-congress-asks-facebook-role-2258...)

> An Economist/YouGov poll conducted from February 12 to 15 found that 80% of Americans had heard of the convoy protests. [...] Among Republicans, 71 per cent supported the convoy protests, compared to 18 per cent of Democrats. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_convoy_protest#Opinion_...)

When you consider how much attention the convoy got in America, and how sympathies fell on such partisan grounds, it gets more concerning. Suddenly, Canadian politics is a hunting ground for the likes of Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, online bot mobs... I think you see where I’m going.

It’s difficult to approach these discussions and not feel like bad-faith actors are artificially making a bugbear out of it. This is especially true when many of the loudest defenders of the convoy weren’t even there, aren't even Canadian, and -- three years later -- may not even be people.

That said, I can agree the Emergencies Act probably shouldn't have been used here, and I have question marks about freezing people's bank accounts -- but this is really a conversation actual Canadians should be owning, since it concerns us most directly.

It’s wasteful of other peoples time to show up to a meeting late, and wasteful of my own to be early. I’d like to be as precise as practical. Meetings filled with high paid experts are incredibly expensive- one should get every detail right to save time. One little thing might not matter, but if you pay attention to a lot of little details in running a meeting efficiently- including starting as close to on time as you can, it saves a lot of time.

Yes, it gives some advantage. The point is that its not a binary metric to hit 25% exactly, nor is it some linear correlation.

As stated its also likely not possible. Even a free 10% improvement across the board would be massive. Imagine only getting 20% more perf out of a driver and yet the bonus is marked as below target.

The numbers were picked because they were easy to pick, not because they were deeply thought through and that happens all the time with these OKRs. That's why they're dangerous.

Hey Simon, maintainer + article co-author here.

tl;dr htmx is better than a lot of alternatives, but Simon is right, it can improve this story and it has a responsibility to do so.

As a framing device: any interactivity that is not described with HTML is interactivity that someone is responsible for making accessible (which you correctly pointed out). Unlike JS frameworks, htmx encourages the developer to solve problems with HTML first, so the inaccessible surface area that the developer has to worry about is going to be much smaller on htmx-based applications than it is with JS-based applications. That's a pretty strict win from where a lot of the industry is right now.

That having been said, I agree with you (and disagree with a lot of our defenders in the comments) that thinking about this is in-scope for htmx. In fact, I'm a firm believer that libraries are exactly where responsibility for implementing ARIA attributes live. The average web developer should not have to think about this at all—they should be able to use declarative abstractions and trust that they are annotated correctly for screen readers. This is the only system that scales, and htmx should adhere to it as much as possible.

Ideally, htmx would just add the polite notification attribute to the elements it processes, and give an easy way to customize that. I think it's basically possible to do this in a backwards-compatible way (first as an extension) that aligns with the maintenance strategy outlined in this essay. And I do think we can improve the documentation as well.
Please don't speculate. We know what serotypes are circulating in humans, and they're not this type.

None of the phones listed looks remotely like a modern smartphone. The iPhone does.

I worked on WinMo at MSFT at that time. You are comparing devices with physical keyboard and a crappy virtual keyboard that required a stylus to modern smartphones?

I mentioned the LG Prada - yes had cap touch, but not touch typing (physical slide out keyboard).

Almost every WM, BB and Symbian SKU had horizon screens (over keyboards).

Blackberry integrated QNX post iPhone.

First iPhone had WebKit.

All of these facts seem to be incorrect.

Again: the combination of these was a huge shift, and every one followed it.
why do you think that would be harder? assume for the moment that the reader here is going to run at the effective rate of a single node and not that we're going to try to parallelize that. Assuming we have transaction isolation, that reader is going to get a consistent snapshot.

a distributed database is potentially more complicated to operate, and optimize, and because its new and potentially has more sharp edges maybe less reliable (?) but the extraction of moderate sized datasets doesn't really seem to be an obvious failing.
