Excellent project, I love the xtdb/htmx stack, and wanted to experiment with it myself. Maybe I'll give biff a try first! I was going to ask why the tutorial mentions using rum to render components, but then also mentioned using h

But you have to also keep in mind that no one (except maybe Zuckerberg) wants to look stupid. Walking around with ski goggles would look so incredibly stupid to any normal human being, so you'd have to carry the goggles around in a cas

Yeah I saw it as an allegory to liberte hedonism and in particular Le Marquis de Sade [1], from whom we derive the word "sadistic". Sadism is a common enough fetish, and given the extent to which other "extreme" sexual f

But those users would be left alone in their pride in the put-up-or-shut-up model, because everybody else would see the mistakes of that user and abandon them. So the shame doesn't have to be effective for the individual, it just has t

This assumes people want to end their drug abuse. Even having the will, ending severe addiction with a tapering supply is extremely difficult, and painful. Like slowly peeling off a band-aid for months, or even years. Odds are that propos

Htmx isn't a framework, and is usually embedded in a more popular backend-rendering framework like Django or rails. Htmx is just a library that removes the need for the most common client-side SPA features, (i.e. partial page updates).

I think this is possible to an extent, but the saying “oh you have to read philosopher X to really understand that” feels more like “oh you have to listen to band X to really understand their music”. Sure you _could_ explain the music along

Imagining a life of merely 15 minutes outside sounds miserable. It's also about the psychological benefits of sunlight exposure.

I would go so far as to say it is literate programming. People tend to think literate programs require an extensive system to support them, such as org-modes's emacs integration, or weird meta-programming facilities, but the truth is

Eh, that seems like a stretch. I doubt it's so subversive. Sure it's the de facto state of things, but when conservatives don't like things they tend to do so outright, e.g. the recent Supreme Court ruling. Plus is it really

Just curious, what utility div classes and what frameworks? I've tried using tailwind and semantic ui very briefly, but wasn't aware they provided any responsive-oriented classes.
