Eh, I think you’re underselling the value of “free” stuff. Even if it has an ulterior motive, giving free access to computing resources allows someone to learn concepts and even ship things that would otherwise be impossible. None of these

They are using Github for hosting, visibility and ease of contribution. A lot of projects would never have been picked up if they were hosted on other platforms.

Yes! Finally! People keep making the assumption that going for Services/Microservices is merely technical. It’s almost all about people and organization. Point 7 is the most important of the technical considerations: just make your ser

I don't really see how progressive enhancement works if every element is a hypermedia control. Without JS/HTMX you just have a page that does nothing: <div hx-get="/example">Get Some HTML</div&gt

In the long-term you're correct, society will rebalance itself and will make better use of the available brain power. In the short-term some jobs in the industries will just disappear and those people will not find another right away i

There's a lot more to running your own server than that. I set up a Hetzner VPS just for play one weekend. I forgot all about it and came back a couple days later: it had already been compromised and was being used to mine crypto coin.

FDIC limit is 250k per bank, so if you have 1 million you'd need 4 banks. If you have 10 million you'd need 40 banks. Having money spread out like that doesn't seem easy to manage. Also having 10 million in one bank gives you

I've been a Rails dev for many, many years, so I'm not shitting on it. My one concern with Rails is human scaling, not so much "web scaling". A lot of big companies use Rails and are successful at a large human scale. Bu

I think his criticism is warranted when you think of 37signals without Ruby on Rails or the open source angle. Judging them just on their products. I don't really see people refer to them as the cream of the crop. Basecamp's UX is

This kind of service helps you get off the ground much faster. Adding a few social logins, plus email/password, plus MFA is not necessarily slow but it's not fast when you have to create the whole backend. In many applications ide

I think people today, especially high paid workers, forgot all about class consciousness. People like to think themselves closer to the owners of a company than to the cleaning staff. At the end of the day we're still labour, equity on

I'd advise against judging health of personal interaction in a society based on interactions between parents and children. Calling one healthy over the other has many issues. Just one example: in India people help one's families t

Going into parenthood with that mentality is a surefire way of making sure the children won't care at all about that "obligation". People take care of their families because of a bond that has nothing to do with blood. That b

I think it was well written as a pop-science piece, albeit some things were too technical for me and unnecessary in my view. Wolfram tries to make everything about cellular automata, which I'm not sure why is uniquely relevant here. Th

You should look up how the tournaments were organized back then, you can't compare to things today. In many Libertadores editions in the 1960s countries only had one spot. In some years Brazil as a whole was denied a spot: 1966, 69 and

I don't see how using 404 is abusing it. If the client requested `/api/v1/employees/<non-existing-employee>` this means that the entire resource (identified by the full URL, including authority) is non-existin

Lobste.rs. It's much more focused on tech/programming and the discussions there (although very few comments) often lead me to discovering new things. Although that part of it also sucks a bit because you can't comment if you&

The US Constitution is so thin and void of specifics that many modern ideas can be considered "unconstitutional". To interpret that is by definition inventing rights where it's not written down.

This relates to a difficult topic, which is: should modern civilization be 100% carbon neutral? Some things are inherently difficult to make electric, yet we need them to have what we'd call a "modern civilization". Planes ar

That's exactly right. This pilot on YouTube did this test with a layperson and the main issue was getting comms up. It took like 20 minutes if I remember correctly, but after that the landing itself went alright. https://www

There's much to say about "wasting" your off time by learning your editor. I still remember this one time, 15 years ago, where I spend literally the whole night configuring my .vimrc, reading the :help pages for all of the co

HATEOAS is great, but that's not my issue with HTMX. It's coding interactivity via HTML attributes that I have an issue with. It just never works. It overcomplicates things and there's an actual programming language right the

HTMX goes about it in the wrong way, in my opinion. HTML code should not carry state and logic. The moment you need something a bit more complicated than the common examples you’re in HTML-attribute soup trying to use a real programming lan

I disagree with that. There's no real reason for each page to be a separate SPA, most likely only a small part of that page will be interactive, and most of it will be cacheable. Extracting only the interactive parts of a page into com

The problem is the mixing and matching of state management. In a traditional web app all of the state is in the back end, in a SPA all of the state is in the front end. When we share state in between the two it's often messy. To me the
