If only manufacturers would use knobs instead of those horrible and often unintuitive touch interfaces. Here's hoping the slow acknowledgement that touch controls in vehicles are usually a bad idea makes its way to other appliances.

This can certainly be true, but there is definitely some value in being discouraged from creating overly complex ui's in the first place.

I no longer default to creating a new or alternative view for returning html specifically for htmx. Sticking with existing views and using hx-select to select and swap content is totally fine most of the time.

Personally I loathe it. I have a client that insists I communicate with them using their channel. The UI is overwhelming and finding past references or info is not nearly as easy as it should be. I have no idea why some projects use it as t

Not just what, but who. I expect to see a rise in use of small scale networks/groups, ideally self hosted in some way, where participants are all known to each other in real life. For years now I've been seeing people migrate to W

A quote from a GMC designer: "I remember wanting it to feel very locomotive - like a massive fist moving through the air" I suppose it appeals to a kind of selfish stupidity.

Biomass decomposing in an anaerobic environment creates some very very nasty gases. There are multiple previous extinction events attributed to this. Times when the oceans basically turned to swamps.

It's wild to me that all of a sudden producing in excess of domestic demand is being painted as overproducing and should be met with tariffs. Such blatant hypocrisy.

For me, the meaning of life becomes 'doing the things that are necessary for life'. This is a helpful reminder that I get most satisfaction from those things - cooking, gardening, physical activity, socialising with and helping&#x

A significant portion of the cost is labour, so if you translate that into a local non-US cost does it still seem absurd? I may have misunderstood your point, but I don't think it is a good argument for why running a business fixing th

More than just hacked and spied on. They are also accused of intimidating the chief prosecutor and others. That's some chutzpah.

That's a good point and I have done that in the past (for NZ). Household size has remained steady over roughly the same period (decade up to 2018 where census data is available). This doesn't account for a possible significant cha

This just makes it easier for investors to outbid homebuyers. If you allow deductions on interest payments, why not for occupiers too? Of course that could open up a whole can of worms and potential loopholes for avoiding income taxes.

This is true, but I wouldn't underestimate the tax advantages property investment has relative to other investments in many countries. Take Australia for example. People in NZ often say a CGT won't help because AU has one and it d

Do you think that a shift in demographic preferences from certain locations in NZ to other locations in NZ is sufficient to explain why - while the overall proportion of dwellings to people was steady - prices rose 250% in 10 years? Are you

My point is that the relatively static proportion of people to dwellings in those countries over that period suggests that a supply shortage is not sufficient to explain the accommodation crisis. What I am suggesting is that incentives to i

I am not denying that the number of properties relative to people has an effect - but I am arguing that this is insufficient as an explanation for what has happened with regard to prices recently. See my earlier comment regarding NZ. The nu
