Using uBlock and SponsorBlock here. I subscribe to a handful of channels I regularly watch, all of which have Patreons I throw a couple bucks to every month (about $14 bucks). No regrets.

Yep, same reason I never used Google, or ffmpeg, or Debian, or Kubernetes.

How would I recommend I get into embedded Linux as a total newbie with only Node/Ruby experience? :^)

Can it be worth it? Yes. But you're likely better off making low-brow jokes on X/Twitter and clickbait on YouTube like Primeagen and Theo Browne.

Great point, this reminded me of this great fasterthanlime video about your relationship with your employer: https://youtu.be/52pdPQHDKho?t=373

This person is in a completely different class than 99% of HN readers. It is impossible for him to ever relate to others who are not like him because he is not like them, and not like us, the non-millionaire non-entrepeneurs. Unfortunately,

I love Lua as a language; even if it can be a bit cumbersome at times, its simplicity and low barrier of entry is refreshing. I'm currently building a full-stack web application with https://redbean.dev in Lua and it's

Looks like they completely switched to MIT based on all the feedback.

I actually really love this, and have been wanting something like this for a while. Excited to give it a try.

Yeah I still can't figure out how to use a debugger with async or concurrent code.

I believe in the freedom to do with your time whatever you want. If you cannot afford the healthcare you require, you need to take a hard look at your finances and realize you are probably prioritizing the wrong thing. Asking the government

I should and I would; it's literally true. People who don't get it subsidized and still don't have enough money to pay for medical bills are being financially irresponsible.

Is $21,000 not enough for medical expenses? What are they spending that money on? Housing? Move somewhere cheaper. Groceries? Shop smarter. If it's not enough money, train for a better career that allows you the salary and better insur

This. All the socialists and collectivists complain all day that healthcare is too expensive, even though the government literally pays for it if you're poor enough that it matters.

GP was from me :) You stated: "Most React apps need a backend too." But in reality this is irrelevant to the conversation, because the top post was asking if comparing HTMX to React is like apples to oranges, which it is, because

Huh?? Did I say that?? The specialists I see also have my medical history.

I'm willing to take a risk there because if my car craps out, I'll buy another. Wish I can say the same about health. If the doctor who has my entire medical history recommends x procedure, yes I'm not going to risk potential

False equivalence, and a disingenous one at that. You can build single-page applications with React, you cannot with HTMX.

by toastercat 2y ago
No. Backend can be anything.
89.
by toastercat 2y ago
Yes. Something HTMX evangelists always forget to mention is that HTMX is not a replacement for React -- HTMX + a backend is. This introduces a whole new layer of complexity; it's a total tradeoff. That is to say there are probably Reac

I am seriously surprised at the naivety of people who can't see that Bluesky is also destined for enshittification.
