I'd rather just pay for good search than spend time to de-enshittify Google. I'm hoping enough people agree with me for Kagi to be viable.

HTMX is the same approach as old-school server-side templating, except you can replace parts of the page with HTML returned from the server, rather than always the whole page. This allows for some nicely responsive interactions, but introdu

Something's missing in the "Modern Event Handling with AsyncIterators" section. The demonstration code emits events, but nothing receives them. Hopefully some copy-paste error, and not more AI generated crap filling up the in

Your argument is just assuming the (1) previous poster has liberal bias, (2) CPB has liberal bias, (3) previous poster is unable to recognize their own or CPB’s liberal bias. Maybe these are true, but I don’t see the basis for it here.

Not mutually exclusive, but they compete for resources. Prefetch/prerender use server resources, which costs money. Moderate eagerness isn’t bad, but also has a small window of effect (e.g. very slow pages will still be almost as slow,

The author is living in some crazy land bubble... or I am. I can't relate to the situations, problems, or solutions this article seems to just take for granted.

Bootstrap fights you when you move away from its built-in look-and-feel. Tailwind is pretty close to neutral. You get the tailwind look by copy-pasting the tailwind components directly and straightforward use of the built-in palette and fon

From my perspective HN has always had certain themes I find overly repetitive and boring. I just whack “hide” on those and never think of them again.

Yes… like every other argument one function provides to another that it doesn’t pass directly through from one of its own arguments. The function color analogy captures a pernicious viral dynamic with async where it allows only one-way comp

With Zig I/O you can call i/o functions from non-i/o functions and non-i/o functions from i/o functions. In the analogy of “What color is your function”, you can call blue functions from red functions and red functi

I find the differences between printf debugging and line debuggers (or whatever you call them) unimportant in most circumstances. Line debuggers usually have some nice conveniences, but the major bottlenecks are between the ears, not in the

This is a funny thread. You say "No" but then restate the point with slightly different words. As if anything a company says publicly about ongoing litigation isn't spin.

There's still version/dependency hell (one thing wants 6, one thing wants 8, one thing wants 8.1, etc.). This can be managed but you have to manage it. (A fanatical commitment to backwards compatibility can make this a lot easie

Traditional client/server databases let you run app logic local to the storage. E.g. stored procedures. There's no particular advantage for sqlite there. Now, people add unnecessary layers all the time to everything. But there are

Well, you can still have an app server if you want -- having app logic that runs local to the storage doesn't preclude you from also having an "app server" (that is, a place app logic runs that isn't local to the user an

You could use jsdoc, or 'tsc' your .ts files on the way to loading them into the db. Typescript has a fairly limited utility here though. It's a static type checker. Your types are mostly going to be SQL parameters and the

This is a fantastic approach. BTW, it looks like the js engine is "QuickJS" [0]. (I'm not familiar with it myself.) I like it because sqlite by itself lacks a host language. (e.g., Oracle's plsql, Postgreses pgplsql, Sql

A perfectly valid evolution strategy is to add new APIs while keeping the old (which you may or may not choose to deprecate). That is, add the new APIs to 3.x (but probably call them something other than v4. Now, that's effectively wha
