I've found this to not be true at all. You can do quite a lot with just HTMX. Any client-side Javascript™ you strictly need can often be done fairly minimally with Locality of Behaviour (LoB).

I basically use HTMX for all my Web Apps, including PWA(s) that run as ~near native apps on iOS/Android. It's great! I aso pair this with DaisyUI+TailwindCSS. YOu really can't go wrong, there is something quite pleasant about

I also have first hand experienced with my neighbours LG TV (older model) that I helped them block outbound network requests that "spy" (or used to) on what they watch.

I'm actually almost tempted to build a reverse proxy that detects this type of "scanning" behaviour and just drops it to the floor.

How do you deal with DDoS attacks on your infra / sites? Especially ones from residential proxies or vpn networks? These are the hardest to defend against as they often are relentless and no amount of proof-of-work, captchas or otherwi

What happens one day when there is a significant outage of Claude or Codex and reliance on these tools as SaaS services is so great that it start to impact productivity and work? Will we just pack up our tools and go home?

I don't think so. Having build a custom agent with Anthrpic's SDK (in Go) and even running the agent on smaller quantized (non-frontier) models using Ollama, I seriously doubt you'd get good results. I read the same blog post

I think I missed it in your article somewhere, somehow... But what was the mistake?

This is of course very cool and all, and quite nostalgic. But why do these old UI(s) look so damn bad these days? Well done in any case

Does this automatically handle deduplication?

Surely I don't need to explain how headless browsers work, bot proxies and distributed crawlers to you do I? If you haven't experienced this first-hand, I can understand. Maybe it warrants a blog post. But I can assure you, these

Name one, that an LLM can't solve. The only real mechanism that continues to still work (but doesn't scale) is "Human in the loop".

Yeah no. Types don't make languages "more expressives". That just makes contracts (e.g: API(s) between callees and callers) more contractual and precise. What does make a language more expressive (which may or may not be a go

In a work environment (at work), I often use Claude Code to fulfill work I would otherwise normally do with my steer and guidance. What I then do is go back to discussions, answering questions, reviewing others work, etc, until Claude has s

How are you populating the dataset here? Anything we can to do help crowd source and contribute?

PoW schemes like Anubis don't work. Increasingly bots are using headless browsers and are basically able to solve captchas, proof-of-work(s) and basically bypass all any any attempts to block them. It's becoming impossible to stop

If that's true. Why haven't we evolved into a species that doesn't harm each other or the environment?

This tool doesn't seem to work very well. I tried to run it against my own harness that uses the Anthropic SDK(s) in Go and it turns up nothing. It doesn't seem to understand Go code?

Let's just put this argument to bed shall we? Let's consider another case. Leatherman pocket knives. It has a ~20% chance of cutting you, a 5% change of killing you if it pieces the wrong place in your body. I'm speaking from

You may as well ban every technological advancement in society then. There are risks to everything we do, build and support. Ban 'em all! Let's go back to the dark ages where everything is safe!

Yes. this I agree with. It's teh same thing many corporations like the one I work for are doing as well. Expecting and mandating that even if you use these so-called "AI" tools. that you are a) responsible and b) accountable

This has nothing to do with copyright status or copyrighted works. If it did, Debian wouldn't even be a thing. You can't be a puritan about this; How much of Debian can one say, hand on heart, is truly not inspired, or influenced

That's just it though. The tool(s) aren't necessarily defective. Just because you can chop off your own hand with an chainsaw or do a botch job of sawing a plank of wood because you weren't watching what you were doing with t

This set of proposals, are (sorry) just stupid. It's like saying to someone, you are not allowed to saw wood using an electric saw, you must do it by hand. What are we doing here?! LLM(s) are just a tool. Use it as such. You should own

Software has neither gotten worse nor become any better. All you're seeing is the cost of writing code approach near zero. As that happens the speed at which you see defects increases. Software is by its very definition "malleable
