I've been struggling to understand the hype as well.

I think the excitement is more around seeing how MCP is being embraced, and the impact it can have. Rather than me having to wire up a bunch of tools by hand, I can now point to some configuration files and MCP servers.

I think it's fair for people to be excited, but ultimately, yes, your prediction is correct, and it won't be as exciting after MCP becomes a standard. This is similar to any new technology. e.g. years ago, Go programs and literature were popular on this site, but not so much any more.

Have you contemplated running the python code in a virtual environment in the browser?

I find the prospect of NLI to be much simpler and ubiquitous, especially when factoring in voice communication.

"Hey Siri, what's my credit card balance?"

"Your current credit card balance is 40.32"

"Pay the full balance on my credit card using my checking account"

That flow seems much simpler. It's also hands free.

I think it'll likely end up being voice commands, and typing is just an interim solution. For instance, the ChatGPT iOS app which was just released has voice to text.

While not perfect at the moment, huge strides are being made. There's a noticeable improvement in ChatGPT-4's ability to understand intent. Asking to "Pay 300 towards my credit card from my checking account" isn't a very complex ask, and is unlikely to be misunderstood. It's also much simpler than navigating through 6 traditional UI screens.

Confirmations will obviously be a requirement, just like they are in traditional UIs.

There’s a tedious, time consuming task, we all dread doing, but yet are compelled to do several times a month: interact with our bank’s UI.

Regardless of the convenience of mobile over web, it is still a multiple step process that requires several presses/clicks, screen loading icons, scrolling up and down the page, getting bombarded with calls to action, promotions, etc.

As we gaze into the future of digital banking, it’s clear that the next logical step is to incorporate functionalities such as trading stocks, dabbling in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, and even applying for loans, all within the same natural language interface.

Not saying that there aren't real issues, but remember, news makes money off of getting you to constantly engage, so they are financially motivated to sensationalize.

Consuming more content isn't going to have an impact on layoffs, Ukraine, recession, etc.

What it will have an impact on is your mental health, as you are experiencing now.

Things that have worked for me:

- Get out into nature as often as possible. Trees and streams have been shown to reduce stress.

- Meditate

- Do physical activities, like lifting weights, yoga, and hiking.

- Pick up a hobby.

- Have dedicated blocks of times to not checking work messages, news, etc.

Constantly checking the news is unlikely to end the conflict or deescalate things :) Not saying that there aren't real issues, but remember, news makes money off of getting you to constantly engage, so they are financially motivated to sensationalize.

What data are you referencing? According to US Census Bureau, the diversity index in Ohio is up ~6%.

Diversity Index (61.1%, up from 54.9%).

Race and ethnicity (White alone 61.6%; Black alone 12.4%; Hispanic 18.7%; Asian alone 6%; American Indian and Alaska Native alone 1.1%; Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone 0.2%; Some Other Race alone 8.4%; Two or More Races 10.2%).

Salaries aren't based on expenses, but that'd be pretty neat if they were. :D

With that said, I'd gladly make less than those that have to work in the office.

My work had plans to return to the office, but it's looking like the delta variant is going to allow us to kick the can down the road a bit longer. Looking at the UK numbers ramp up, despite 80% of their population being vaccinated, it seems likely the US will experience a bigger wave of infections.

Many features aren't available on the web. e.g. web midi isn't planned on being worked on anytime soon by the webkit team. Also, iOS Safari browser updates constantly break/maim apps. e.g. iOS 14.4.x all had real time audio processing issues that weren't fixed until iOS 14.5.

It's probably best to look at the trends of other platforms/languages, alongside of Node.js. Many languages showed a similar, slight decline, which might indicate something else is going on: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&q=...

The same can be said of rape and murder.

It was prompted:

A school district in Virginia said over the weekend that it had advised schools to de-emphasize Dr. Seuss books on “Read Across America Day,” a national literacy program that takes place each year on March 2, the anniversary of Mr. Geisel’s birth.

“Research in recent years has revealed strong racial undertones in many books written/illustrated by Dr. Seuss,” according to the statement by the district, Loudoun County Public Schools.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/02/books/dr-seuss-mulberry-s...

It was prompted by a school district threatening to boycott the publisher because of these books. Why would you make a claim about it not being prompted when you didn't do the research first?

That's more of a JS issue than Node issue. The problem you are describing is one of 10 years ago, but not so much today, so long as you have a decent IDE. Intellij is the best IDE out there for autocompletion/intellisense of JS.

I am guessing you mean 500k cash. Regardless, I'm not sure if your point holds. If I have $1m in stocks, and my account is hacked, the stocks are sold, and the money funneled out, am I protected?

Hey guys, looks pretty good. I'm interested in the decision to move to server side templating. You mention that the loading of js, then making an ajax call, then rendering the page, was slower than just serving up html. Did you guys try bootstrapping json data server side? That way you could avoid making an ajax request on load. Do you have any perf numbers to share?

Thanks!

You almost have to. position:fixed on a lot of android devices won't work without it.

On mobile devices, there is about a 1 to 1.5 second delay before the animation begins. touchstart and js might be a better solution...

JSONP is considered by most to be a hack and a security risk. CORS is extremely easy to implement, as it only requires you to send some headers to the browser. For example, in a node app I recently wrote, adding CORS was just a matter of adding these lines:

  var allowCrossDomain = function(req, res, next) {
    aptUtil.log('using cors to allow for cross domain xhr');
    res.header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*'); //any domain can submit requests to us.
    res.header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods', 'GET,PUT,POST,DELETE');
    res.header('Access-Control-Allow-Headers', 'Content-Type');

    next();
  }; app.use(allowCrossDomain);

Has anyone here tried optimizing initial page load by including the json data passed to various templates as part of the page, rather than making a separate request to get the data?

for example, what i've been doing is using a server side template write out the clientside templates and initial json data used by the clientside templates:

  <script type="text/javascript">
    var viewModel = {{- JSON.stringify(viewModel); }};
  </script>

This is exciting news. I just got the Galaxy Nexus, so the timing couldn't be any more perfect.

It doesn't look like they allow extensions yet. :(
