Strict typing can enforce proper composition from models to the request responses.

Rust is a high AND low level lego due to type composition and ability to directly address memory with no hacky garbage collection required.

Garbage collection is a bad idea when your state machine is basically a stateless request response cycle that can fit in n stack frames and has a defined lifetime ending in the response.

Interpreted languages calculate runtime code paths on an ad-hoc basis and are subject to bugs that a binary executable will never encounter.

One can objectively state that Interpreted languages and their virtual machines are LESS DETERMINISTIC than binary executables whose runtime code already exists at compilation time.

Of course, shared libs and other things that violate the spirit of the above can wreak havoc with even binaries, however the executable is a finite artifact.

Another false dichotomy is server rendered vs single page app, when the happy place is both. One builds a bundle to embed in a server rendered page, as distinct from other bundles served up with other distinct pages. Ones rollup file would have an array of build objects, input output params. The user doesn't have to wait an eternity to download a monolithic single page app bundle. One doesn't get brain damaged by trying to maintain a monolithic state in a giant monolithic blob of javascript, urls work again, routing is returned to the server, and you could use a different framework on each page if you want to, thats how little it matters at that point.

Why is no one mentioning embedding a js bundle in an htmx rendered page?

What a weird human mistake to create such a false dichotomy. Don't tell me longboard surfers aren't dancers. Lessons schmessons, move your body and learn how to control its movements to better express yourself and better manipulate it with respect to its context, whether in water, suspended from a giant sash, or rolling on a wooden floor.

Perhaps Apple should take a hint that no one wants so-called AI features training on a device with intimate access to their lives.

Whatever the final reality of feature availability, the conceptual damage had been done: Apple was bandwagon leaping and we had no choice.

I will never buy another Apple device for other reasons, not least of which are the short support period and ever increasing enshittification of the operating system.

I have not been a fan of anything developed since roughly steve jobs passing. Touch bar?! No thanks.

The truth of the matter is that i see the light and insist upon a world where open source software, standards compliance, and end user choice MATTER, and matter more than corporate profits for an already too large and corrupt behemoth.

Apple is a company, not your friend

Stop using Google Analytics and your need to place cookies and thus need for cookie popups vanishes.

Goatcounter or Plausible will do fine. Some decent frontend log parsing will also be a viable strategy.

Stop feeding Google your customers data for free.

I am completely fed up with OEM presumption that broken Windows shall forevermore be what computers come preinstalled with.

Windows has been broken since XP and linux desktop has been usable for decades now.

I refuse to buy more computers preloaded with windows or built with ANY consideration of what incompetent Microsoft want.

Why do we accept being spat upon and treated like basement bums when we put our money on the table???

But i would wager that astronomical societies were rather unfond of alien conspiracy buffs, so the feeling is likely mutual, as evidenced by this piece here. Hand wringing aside, one boring trope i am unfond of is this notion of a virtuous anti intellectual lower class of common folk gosh darnit... That is an elite pretension that smells like Rousseaus "noble savage"

The last 20 years makes me question glib use of the word "elites" to refer to any arbitrary collection of individuals not necessarily based upon their wealth or whatever imagined social status the person invoking the word wishes to convey, with regards to said arbitrary collection of individuals.

You basically vomited a series of pop cultural phrases and managed to paint a clear picture with them, but i question your very mental boxes.

Those of us who aren't Adobe salespeople have less incentive to care about keeping feature parity with a predatory cloud-subscription-pushing entity.

Some of us see decadence driving many features on mature graphics applications, coupled with rentseeking on 30 year old code. If it's NOT 30 year old code, why is it seeking to replace funcioning code? Rentseeking.

I find GIMP satisfactory for my remaining raster graphic needs. I prefer vector graphics applications for anything that is not a photograph...

Perhaps housing shouldn't be market determined, but considered essential habitat.

I didn't get any further with this train of thought, but i thought of smarmy shiny-clothed grifty realtor types worrying about the placement of a fridge in a mcmansions kitchen, and how so much of interior design has become ikea airbnb style for flipping rather than living in.

Perhaps turning houses into status symbols instead of shelter has a down side.

I suspect mortages are a relatively recent invention, and that this is why moneyed families had grand houses and poorer folk had self-built hovels a century ago.

Would NOT recommend. I lost an earthbag house to forest fires in 2017. I am still cleaning up plastic bags and their uv damaged shredded remains.

It is a rather stupid idea to embed 1200 plastic bags into earth.

First of all, filling them and stacking took me 1 year of work. rendering them takes ages, and depending upon the UV coating on the plastic, they burst after variously 1 month to 3 months exposure to full sun, leaving a confetti of microplastics in your soil...

A plastic bag house is a rather dumb idea. Been there. Done that.

Bass ackwards defensive hot take.

The above comment should not be grayed out, yours should.

You are placing your political fantasies above reality on the ground.

It is absolutely factually correct to describe Texas political and electrical administration as - anthropogenic climate change denialist

- corruptly in thrall to fossil fuel, including 'natural' gas plant expansion where the actual grid is the issue

- averse to integrating with the electrical grid from nearby states, as others do, and averse to standards and standards compliance.

The number of people moving to Texas and your instant deflection towards California bashing are unacceptable in a mature conversation on this topic.

What you are describing is not the current incarnation of Anonymous, but rather its celebrated heritage.

As of 2024, any sponsored social media campaign by corporate actors, for example, can don the Guy Fawkes mask and claim popular support.

I see this on a daily basis on social media. Quite often the group calling itself "Anonymous Collective" or somesuch appears to be big oil, spouting anti-government rhetoric. The real Anonymous would point out corporate levers behind governmental acts, etc.

I hate my samsung phone with a passion i also had while hating my iphone before it.

The stupid thing keeps trying to get me killed, is unresponsive to the most obvious urgings, and insists upon joking around when i need some info NOW.

I also have issues with most map apps and using them for navigation. It seems that the UI designers for these things never consider difficulty in seeing the crucial details on a small screen at high velocities with small glances.

I need the remaining KM until that turn, in large numbers, Google.

At the end of the day, despite being an allegedly technical person, I find smart phones to be rather difficult to use for their intended purposes. I have had immense difficulty in answering phone calls with mysterious swipes that at least this horrid samsung willfully ignores, laughing at me in derision, no doubt.

I don't get along with smart phones.

Docker/containers, k8s, and all the bent bloated habits eventually take a toll.

Sure, it lets you ship that app with postgres, clickhouse, redis, rabbitmq, task runners, workers, the jvm, 5 different versions of nodejs wedged in... But is this really a good thing?

Its like vacuum sealing poop in unlabeled bags and putting them into someone's refrigerator. Yay, surprise.

Tell Judge Cannon to stop slow walking the election overthrow conspiracy case.

Tell the corrupt SCOTUS to stop granting a former president unconstitutional powers.

Your comment defies the forceful attempts to stymie any Trump prosecution that GQP party members are performing full-time as of 2024

Well, howling of wind can be achieved with simply low-pass filtering white noise and varying the cutoff frequency.

What you are referring to is known as physical modeling, and there are many techniques employed, depending upon the sort of system one seeks to model.
