To me, the initial allure of the vdom was how much further it got you then backbone.js’ “this.model.on(‘change’, this.render)”. When that one liner in backbone was enough, it was magical. But once you hit scenarios where overwriting the t

Thoughts: 1) put the “# Short syntax for string type.” comment in your docs on your homepage example. When I first saw the “price” element I thought it was a jsonb field or something 2) why the emojis? So confused. Are those an alternati

Would open sourcing the core IP of a company “typically” require board approval? If a company goes under, the investors will want to sell off the IP, open sourcing everything would make that IP less valueable. There must be some blanket cl

at one point i started to make a gem called "dora" where you could "explore" the page with methods around the capybara driver, but never finished it. for example: page.find_blog_posts.highlight_all would draw a blue box

For aws to make it available on rds Aurora, would it be safe to assume there would have to be some changes to the extension source to make it compatible with the Aurora engine? If we assume aws doesn’t want todo that, then their licensing

Very cool! Will definitely check it out. Random question: when you "pause" a test, is it actually pausing the capybara/rspec test such that I can have a breakpoint/debugger/REPL experience to try out various capyba

$10 = 6% fee; $5 = 8% fee. Both of which are far better than apple’s fees, so that point is a bit confusing. Chargebacks = customer support. I agree with that, but if you have a B2C business which has any non-trivial revenue (OP is talking

While I’m not saying the specific scenario will work 100% of the time, it doesn’t need to - by the email getting forwarded at all, there is some element of trust in “my manager forwarded me this email and typed ‘complete this for me’”. If

Question: does the YouTube content found by your algorithm have the follow/like/subscribe promos in it? Sponsored content in the videos? Is there some sort of score/rating for the “youtube creator self promo” (# of seconds

When I was setting up my mother in law’s HP, her windows machine gave me a choice screen for the browser, but they littered it with dark patterns. It gave repeated warnings, would ask me to confirm that I wanted chrome, and then (accidenta

When I look at the Tiny Twitter example and see the code below, I'm curious if there is a more "SQL" way to implement it. ``` select 'checkbox' as component, 'Terms and conditions' as label,

random idea: an event for "x-sync:missing". the server responds with `<ul x-sync id=notification>`, but the page doesn't have a matching id (and the notifications aren't inside a different target....). if the las

My first reaction was “why do I need an htmx-like version written in alpine?” when I could just use htmx. BUT… if you assume that you will need something more low level to complement htmx (“htmx + alpine” OR “htmx + hyperscipt”) and if you

Would love to learn more. Guess: Is the “different position” that consistency can be achieved when a fault occurs by having the longest chain, instead of a leader/voting mechanism?

This seems like the best option, because it works just as well if the child components are loaded async (Ie: a tab component loading sub tabs on hover, and then the parent tab container needing to subscribe to that)

To me the usescase feels like: I am using Hotwire/htmx. When I need more complex behavior, instead of using stimulus/apline/hyperscript, you can make custom webcomponents which use rawjs for the rendering.

Thanks! I was looking for a wasm book a few weeks ago, and most looked (understandably) out of date. Very helpful! The frontend masters course by Jem Young was really good as well. https://frontendmasters.com/courses/

I’m curious: if one of the board members “knows” the only way for OpenAI to be truly successful is for it to be a non-profit and “don’t be evil” (Google’s mantra), that if they set expectations correctly and put caps on the for-profit side,

Could the “jump” problem be improved with a subtle transition (200ms, 1s, etc) from one state to the other? If the editor “repaints” commit mono on the letter-pair boundary, I could see that being a very jumpy UX — ie: the letter I just typ

Yes, but it's important to think about the bridge/shim between your application code (the web assembly module) and the host (the browser). If you have a C++ game which draws to the screen with SDL, then you can use a shim to conv
