Understandable. I would suggest that when the kids are old enough, consider doing smaller tours (a weekend, a week, etc.) when you can and not waiting until retirement to do any touring. The latter was my plan. Until I got colon cancer. I still ride but I can't do more than a couple of days in a row before I get digestive problems that put a halt to touring. With hindsight, I wish I would have done some one- to two-week tours while I was still able to.

My weekend AI project: AI-assisted search of the UK Companies House database
Just to prove my point on AI assisted product development...
As a little weekend project I created https://companychat.uk/ from scratch in net 2 days. That is from idea to a fully functional MVP (not just a demo proof-of-concept), delivering value to the end user. Feel free to give it a go, you get 5 free tokens to play with!

It's an AI aided advanced search tool for the publicly available Companies House dataset. It can help finding leads for all sorts of campaigns and help research by answering questions and prompts such as "How many companies in Brighton were founded by under 30s last year?" or "Give me a list of companies in Bournemouth that will turn 10 years old next month!".

It's hosted on a tiny EC2 instance (£6 per month), connects to an on-premise database server via Tailscale (PostgreSQL with GIS support, hosting Companies House dataset through an ETL pipeline) and to a local SQLite database for system data.

Application stack is FastAPI with Jinja templates for the backend and HTMX + TailwindCSS for frontend rendering.

AI stack: Cursor + Claude Sonnet 3.5 for development, Langchain and Langgraph with gpt-4o-mini for AI assistance.

End to end implemented by a single engineer using Cursor with Claude Sonnet 3.5.

It's from Old French all right, but probably not because there was no existing word. Old English Translator[1] suggests geþanc (a bit similar to the modern German Gedanke) or the verb wénan, both of which can be confirmed by Bosworth & Toller's Anglo-Saxon Dictionary[2].

The Normans introduced French as the prestige language of England when they invaded, but Anglo-Saxons would have wanted to express the concept of imagination way earlier. If they had wanted to, they could have borrowed the word from Classical Latin imāginor without the 'help' of the Normans.

Ask HN: What to use for desktop apps for Windows or Mac?
I remember how about 20 years ago, during the first semester of IT studies, when we were learning the basics of programming, we could grab Charles Petzold's book, launch Visual C#, and create a simple UI application with Windows.Forms in just a few minutes. No prior knowledge needed, purely intuitive. Later, in a similar fashion, it was just as easy to launch Expression Blend (or whatever it was called back then) for Silverlight and quickly build a UI for a Windows Phone. A friend of mine even converted my app to Android without any issues.

Today, when I tried to build an extremely simple UI application using Avalonia with F#, I needed many hours of help from ChatGPT and Perplexity, and even then, I didn't achieve anything remarkable. Can anyone explain what has happened that makes building a simple UI 20 times harder after 20 years???

Maybe using F# for UI is a terrible mistake, and there are more pleasant technologies for building UI easily nowadays? Can someone advise me on what's used today for quick UI development? Perhaps Python with Tkinter? Swift? Dart with Flutter? Or is it simply no longer as easy as it used to be, and it's bound to be HARDCORE difficult now?

BTW: Please, I beg you, don't tell me to try MAUI - I've already read enough to know it's not worth touching, even with a ten-foot pole
> The alternative is to have hypermedia for the UI on the one hand, and separately JSON/whatever for the API on the other. But now you have all this code duplication.

What code duplication? If both these APIs use the same data fetching layer, there's no code duplication; if they don't, then it's because the JSON API and the Hypermedia UI have different requirements, and can be more efficiently implemented if they don't reuse each other's querying logic (usually the case).

What you want is some universal way to write them both, and my general stance is that usually they have different requirements, and you'll end up writing so much on top of that universal layer that you might as well have just skipped it in the first place.
Honestly, I never got a lot out of their actual homebrew guides – but their commentary on the mini/micro industry and scuttlebutt – Motorola's failings, Intel gnashing their teeth – was hilarious and perceptive in retrospect.

With customers angrily demanding an upward migration path within the Intel family to compete with the forthcoming Motorola 32 bit machine (and even the forthcoming National 32 bit machine), Intel hurriedly announced THEIR 32 bit microprocessor. Several weeks AFTER that hurried announcement, they decided the part number would be the iAPX 386. So far, the part number is ALL that is definite about that device,

I've a similar hack with an ultrasonic distance sensor sitting on top of my monitor that I use as a presence sensor to tell the computer when I’m in front of it or not. [1]

Apart from pausing and resuming my music player, a shell script displays the number of minutes I've been in front of the computer in calm green text in the corner of the screen. After 45 minutes this turns to large red text and a sound-clip telling me to "move it, move it"[2] plays every five minutes.

It's worked well for me. I'll step away and do a couple of stretches and step back. Timer resets automatically with no other intervention.

I suppose I could augment this with a remote alarm+button similar to Jacob's to force the issue.

The Logic of Private Equity Explains the Park City Ski Patrol Strike
I went back to school as an adult and struggled with “flipped” classrooms, where we watched video lectures on our own time and worked through problems in class. I don’t process information well from video, and struggled to hold focus. In-person lectures worked much much better. I could read the text book for things I missed. Some of the flipped classes didn’t even have textbooks, so I resorted to finding other resources to try and learn the material.

It’s true that classes in giant lecture halls might as well be a video in some ways, but the delivery really does hit different for some people.

That's what I don't get about people on this forum.

They think it'll handle that for them. Why?

This should be the group getting the best outputs of this technology, bar-none. I've never encountered a more pragmatic group of people, haha! I don't get where the disconnect is.

DEI is the modern day Affirmative Action (same concept: Become more diverse by hiring more minorities as an absolute percentage and not based on skillset or best candidate).

The server-rendered web app (without htmx, think crusty PHP router admin panel) is actually very similar to the Elm architecture.

The database is the Model.

The server is the update function.

The HTML template is the view function.

HTTP requests are the Msg.

Database/API calls are the Cmd.

The problem with this model is that recreating the whole UI every time is slow and clunky.

Elm and most JS frameworks fix this by running the `Model` and `update` function on the user device and doing tree diffing. This is reasonably performant if you do it well, but it's also hard to do well (see: every website ever these days) and introduces complexity, particularly because the client-side `Model` almost always needs to be synchronized with a database or some other "canonical" model.

As pragme_x touched on in a sibling comment, what htmx does is not an iteration on the framework model; it's an alternate solution to the original problem. What it does to avoid the clunkiness is let the server to return `Delta HTML` instead of `HTML`, and for the slowness, it leaves the vanilla-JS escape hatch open for things that can be done without altering the Model (database). This model also has its flaws, especially if you need to use that escape hatch a lot, but it's also a lot simpler conceptually and keeps the `Model` and `update` function in a trusted computer, meaning you don't need to marshal and validate stuff between two models.

> how to write good Htmx code that wouldn't bloat and rot over time?

- Don't try to perform fine-grained updates if you don't have to. It's fine to replace a little more than you absolutely need to, and htmx takes care of some of the things you might worry about like preserving focus. For example, in the "delete row" example, it might be more robust to replace the whole table.

- Use htmx for anything "side-effecty", i.e. anything where a network request is compulsory. Relegate JavaScript to "micro-interactions". I consider a code smell in an htmx application any time I need to add new elements to the DOM via JavaScript, most of it should be manipulating classes, attributes and styles.

- For those micro-interactions, the "component" model heralded by the big three JS frameworks doesn't work as well here, since components have their own state, which is another "shadow-Model". Instead, try the RSJS methodology (https://rstacruz.github.io/rsjs/) with "behaviors".

- To wire up that JS to your app, reach for custom events. The `hx-trigger` attribute is the "port" that translates JS-based interactions to Msg.

> I suspect this is because HTML was always about documents, and never about interactive applications

This is a really common refrain and it peeves me, but I don't have a good rebuttal to it yet so I won't weaken my comment by trying to make one. I don't have good explanations for a lot of things about htmx and hypermedia, actually. The code of htmx is mostly complete, but the theory is still WIP.

Demographics my friend. Somehow what should have been the most predictable thing ever (that people get old over time, changing the age profile of the country), has somehow created issues that are coming as a complete surprise to the government... Healthcare underfunded because people are getting old. Tertiary education overattended leading to a skills mismatch. A large cohort of baby boomers who consistently push for NIMBY style policies because they spent so much on their house that their retirement depends on it...

Policies should be proactive in these fields rather than reactive. I'm of the opinion that many countries /regions struggling with these issues have largely done it to themselves by lack of foresight.

I'm hopeful that it will improve in the future though. Pretty much only able to go up from here! Let's go land value tax!!!
