Posting this here, hoping desperately for someone to give me an example proving I'm wrong: It's insane to me that there isn't a simple, GUI-based app that provides this utility in a clean, straightforward way. Basically just

I didn't describe being immune. Again, 100% the opposite.

You can even skip the investigator in a lot of places, thanks to Flock. Dystopian.

I did not claim, nor imply, that ads do not work on me. In fact, I alluded to the opposite in my closing line: " In five seconds, you can remind me that dawn exists, fulfilling the main purpose of the ad [...] " > the main purp

That stuff is so bizarre ! I can understand how an advertiser might try to sneak an infomercial onto an ad campaign, and I can understand how it might be attempted on accident. But I can't understand why an ostensible ad platform woul

Just a hip-shot, not a considered position. When I hear "regulation", I think "threat". Either of violence (any physical touch), or financial garnishment. So, to me, ads that last longer than five seconds do not rise to

by catapart 9mo ago
Not a great regulatory move, in my opinion. But I really wish ad companies would implement this rule across the board. If you can't sell me on your ad in 5 seconds, it's unlikely you can sell me on your product in 15 or 30 seconds

my big gripe with them is that they aren't part of a "developer" package my operating system offers. I wouldn't, personally, consider any of these utilities "bloatware", if they were just on my machine. They do

I mostly do front-end work, so I get why you would default to CDNs - it's more likely that users ALREADY have that CDN link downloaded and cached on their machine than not. It's absolutely an upgrade for 99.9% of most use cases. H

oh, sweet! happy to condescend to self-important, non-engaging, reply guys who think they know more than the actual implementers. so pleased I could help! if you'd like to return the favor, please shut up. but don't let that make

same boat. I switched to codium mostly out of purity from AI, and I'd really like it to stay that way, while still getting other QoL improvements. I'm pretty concerned that there's not enough to justify the niche, though.

Oh awesome! This is a great solution to resumes. The only thing I'd like more is a web app to run it in.

reminds me of how people used to shove autotune into anything and people lapped it up like the slop that it was and this is. but, as with that slop, this will also get boring to the masses. there's only so much "I told an llm to p

lol. oh boy! everything from scratch! must reimplement the whole library even though I don't package server responses for injection. glad you're enjoying your framework, friend!

lol. I didn't ask for SKUs, I asked for plugins. I wouldn't mind the dev tools, and PDF viewer being plugins too. Again, include those plugins in the default download, just let me have a download that doesn't include them. Mo

What about it? If it's output is generated by the manipulation of tensors and weights, it doesn't belong in my browser. It's not there to because I need to browse, it's there because I want to read content that is not in

As you should be able to tell from the other comments, this is not a library for me. If I had ever looked into it past trying to actually implement it, I would have realized that it's actually specifically for server-rendered content a

Many libraries provide features that were unavailable in packages that are small enough for comfort. Those features and sizes vary per project, and, as admitted, sometimes there's great use for htmx. It's just not going to be for

I was about to use a quote to show you that "no, it's not like what is described in the thread", but you included the salient bit in the second quote, yourself. It's not a gray area, and "opt-in" isn't som

> You can add custom commands with invokes and custom JS, but at that point you're basically re-implementing HTMX yourself[...] Exactly. So why use a library? If it's that simple, the suggestion is akin to using a library for a

> Well why not have the benefits of invokers, but today - with HTMX? Because I already have the benefit of invokers, today, using the composedPath method. And a map to some functions is usually less, in my experience, than 14kb of js.

by catapart 10mo ago
Sorry, but it's a no from me. htmx is a great idea, but it's not necessary anymore. We're very close to invokers being baseline (and even that is just an extension of the "composedPath includes -> invoke" pattern

Hate to be the "shallow comment guy" but, uh.... absolute perfection. no fucking notes. Every decision you've described seems like the one I would have made, and the implementation is elegant. Thank you!

Neat! I didn't make it that far. Nice thing about red flags is, there's no value in continuing after you see them. Turns out, the thing the red flag made me accuse them of was their stated goal. Case in point!

+1 on VSCodium. It was a 99.99% seamless transition, for me. The only annoyance at all was not having VSCodium added to my context menu, which doesn't even matter if you never "right-click->open folder" to launch. And, obv

Same boat. I hope they don't downstream nonsense like this.

Ah, okay, yeah, I get you now. I could get behind a splashy section about how users can "walk away at any time" with a roadmap that seems reasonable. I think that fits in with the general ethos of what these things should offer to
