I think the (not clearly stated) intention is for an automated way to detect the pubisher's explicitly preferred method of compensation. Which is a sensible request, since it can allow a browser button/extension that sends you the

But there is a wide gulf between backend + JQuery and SPA. The frustration often shown is people treating the extremes as the only options available. Having a use case for which backend + jQuery doesn't cut it doesn't require rein

I wouldn't say scummy so much as just short sighted and selfish. I can see someone excitedly naming something after something similar, as homages are made all the time, and not stopping to think whether it's just polluting the nam

Probably varies dog by dog, same as it varies human by human. Some people are intimately aware of their own jealousy, other need some form of therapy to make it apparent.

"Voting with your wallet" works for small and frequent purchases. The bigger and less frequent the purchase, the less impact it has.

This isn't unique to HTMX though. You can do the same with any frontend framework. You can argue that HTMX forces this to be the case, but has a lot of trade offs in doing so.

This is the thing that makes me lose interest in HTMX. People talk about it like it eliminates the need for JS/React/etc, but as far as I can tell, you're still writing those same templates, just using your backend language i

This is why I like Github's feature to add comments before posting the full review. You can do a round of nitpick comments, take some time away to let the rest settle, come back and re-review with the big picture. You can then add thos

/ is too commonly used, such as when making a list of replacements/alternatives/synonyms. It works fine when it's just the text as written, but if it was parsing and turned that list to replacements alternatives synonyms

The problem here isn't that we need to find a way to compensate authors for their work, it's that people can't survive without compensation, so writing for the sake of writing, without compensation, often isn't viable. I

You're comparing to the free tiers of Spotify and Youtube, which in effect is saying that we should put ads into our books.

Yeah. I actually really like this solution. No damage to the car, quick to apply, quick to resolve. When my car got towed in NYC, getting it back took several days and with an additional cost of a couple hundred dollars. The barnacle would

That might work for highly tech savvy people, but that's a very small minority of users. Google will still make ad blocking near-impossible for 99.99% of its users.

I wouldn't necessarily call them fishy, but I am very tired of them. They have a very evangelizing tone. But I think they're ultimately just people excited about the tool they're using and wanting to share it with others.

Not quite like reddit and digg. You can bot farm those because the lists are common to all. In this search engine, let's say there's you, me, person three, and spammer. You you are following me, and I'm following person three
