Makes perfect sense, thank you! I haven't seen any historical maps of the road so I no longer have any reason to believe it stems from that. I was just going based on that (flawed) logic.

As a Norwegian I have bonded with Swedes on several occasions over having the same jokes about each other. Not that the jokes are always geniously funny or anything, but that would be both an unrealistic expectation and completely unnecessa

Just checked out hypertext! Have you noticed any other advantages over Maud, except for syntax?

In the linked Go approach, and also with Askama, you have to define each template (component) twice. Once as a .html file, and then again as a struct inside a source file. With Maud, templates/components are only defined once, so you n

I've been doing something very similar in Rust recently using Askama or Maud for templates (components), optionally with Axum to include a server in the binary. The author mentions wanting to colocate templates with logic, Maud allows

Exactly, just reminiscent of the movie. So the tweet really proves nothing in this case, unlike what some people seem to believe.

You can see plenty of discussion elsewhere in this thread regarding how similar the result actually ended up being. All I'm saying in the comment you are replying to is that it's incorrect to claim that Altman's saying that &

"Her" is one of my favorite movies of all time, and not once while watching the demo did I think that it sounded specifically like ScarJo. The whole concept, of course, made me think of "Her", but not the voice itself.

He's not necessarily saying that was the goal from the start. All he is admitting with that tweet is that it is indeed (he finds it to be) reminiscent of "Her".

"direct dividends for industrial development are less clear" Were those dividends clear in the 60s? Or are they only clear now that we look back on the venture 50 years later?

Well it's going to be an enormous jump for everyone else too, so you're not at a disadvantage.

First, saying "I would" does not mean I 100% always do. But I absolutely am willing to avoid annoying infuriating companies and products out of principle. My computer is Linux and most software fully open-source. None of it is use

If you're gonna stew over something then that should be: How can I make sure this shit doesn't happen to me again? "What can I do about it?" is the focus. No point obsessing over the other person. I think that's wha

The fact that you mention Dark Matter (no hate, taste is subjective etc.) as potentially rivaling actual classics is for me just further proof that fighting recency bias and hype is important. But yes, of course some modern books will end u

I'm imagining a future where bodybuilders purposely give themselves aggressive cancer so that they can later "reprogram" it into additional muscle.

Why bamboo or wood spoons/utensils instead of stainless steel? I would imagine the wood will crack or break after a while, and is harder to clean properly.

The part that people can't do themselves is the massive storage and indexing of posts/content/uploaded data (because expensive). I'm envisioning a more or less public (hosting is publically funded) API where anyone can b

Reading this comment and others, it sounds to me like legislating the carriers and phone manufacturers to force them to make eSIM more user friendly would work just as well (or better?) as legislation to mandate physical SIM slots.

While I could see how the camping scenario might matter to a few people, I would personally rather have a couple mAh larger battery because of the slight physical space savings that I imagine eSIM brings.

I agree with GP that the show has an extremely interesting take on the core ideas, but I think the execution falters slightly, especially in the last couple of episodes. The characters started doing some fairly silly things, and I also do

That was how it used to be in lots of places. But it was not allowed to last because the wealthy eligible voters kept selfishly exploiting those that had no voting rights.
