Israel and the US are planning a new war on Iran. Historically (in Iran and other places), we saw political and internal crises emerge/staged when the US is planning a regime change in that country.
I had Gemini 3 Flash hit me this morning with "you're absolutely right" when I corrected it on a mistake it did. It's not conclusive of anything.
"That's when I learned the difference between burnout and disillusionment. Burnout drains your body; disillusionment erases your purpose. You can recover from exhaustion with rest, but you need something else entirely to recover from meaninglessness."
This is an accurate pathology to burnout at least in my experience. I worked on many hard things in my life, from school to obsessing over hard problems on weekends but I never felt burned-out. I felt tired, but content.
It took 6 months of being stuck after reaching a local maxima in my career. I was working on menial, meaningless, tasks that I knew amounted to nothing while I was doing them. That caused my burnout.
Industry standards are not platform standards. React (enabled by Inertia) is in many ways is an industry standard for building UIs on the web today, yet it's not part of the platform. Same with Vite, it's the standard way to bundle on the web.
Decidedly, Import Maps are not used as a standard for dependency management in the web dev industry.
Most of the reason I've started losing interest in Rails and the DHH cult is their insistence that their homemade JS solutions (Stimulus, Hotwire, JS import maps) should be the default choice instead of industry standards like Intertia and Vite.
I am maintaining a Rails app with Vite + Interia + Vue, and it's many times easier to manage, develop, especially when working with LLMs that haven't been trained on DHH's new frontend experiments du jour.
Eventually that is the plan. Like we saw with Claude Code, they want developers to get a taste of that unlimited and unrestrained power of a state of the art model like Opus 4, then slowly limit usage until you fully transition to metered billing and deprecate subscription based billing.
Or it stems from Israel committing more war crimes than other nations
I just logged in to Bluesky to see what the left think of this and I wish I hadn't.
I find it extremely disturbing that half the country are people who are very well educated, earning well above average from their white-collar careers, yet they still think political violence is acceptable or funny.
This country is doomed.
Like everything else, practice. I like to clone repositories of open source tools I use and try to understand how a particular feature is built end to end. I find that reading code aimlessly is not that helpful. Try to read it with a goal in mind. When starting out, pick a tool/application that is very simple and lean on LLMs to explain only the bits you don't understand.
I agree. I think Arc was the biggest innovation in browser UI since Chrome.
I think you will eventually have to switch because it will lack behind given that it's not their priority anymore. Zen browser seems like viable alternative but I haven't used it enough yet to know how well polished it is.
It was put on maintenance mode with minimal security updates to favour the development of their newer product Dia (AI browser).
I just couldn't love it, and frankly I don't get the hype around it. I recently found that all my use cases can be served by either:
1. A general purpose LLM chat interface with high reasoning capacity (GPT-5 thinking on web is my go to for now)
2. An agent that has unrestricted token consumption running on my machine (Claude Code with Opus and Amp are my go to for now).
3. A fine-tuned, single purpose LLM like v0 that is really good at one thing, in this case at generating a specific UI component with good design aesthetics from a wireframe in a sandbox.
Everything else seems like getting the worst of all worlds.
I'd argue it's actually the exact opposite of minimalism. Just an abundance of colours, emojis, and marketing jargon. It shows a lack of taste.
LLMs are known to overuse purple:

Am I the only one who is getting tired of all these LLM generated landing pages with their hallmark indigo backgrounds/gradients, unnecessary and tasteless transitions, and meaningless marketing sell points?
There is an active genocide going on as we speak. I am sorry if you find boycotting those who support it is virtue signalling and a joke.
They have some house cleaning to do in their leadership before I am willing to use a product they back.
Can I replace "islamophobic" in your comment with "antisemitic" and not have my comment deleted or my profile banned on this site?
The mods deleted another comment that brought this up, and probably will delete this one too.
That's not how collateral damage works. The moral and legal responsibility is on the one dropping the bombs. As horrible as the US wars were, when we decided to kill Bin Laden, we sent a special operations team at night instead of flattening entire villages in Pakistan.
The indiscriminate killing that Israel is doing in Gaza and Lebanon is unprecedented since the second World War. Justifying it will normalize civilian casualties in future wars that with be disastrous for everyone.
Nice little app.
A UX enhancement could be to add a wizard like steps so the user knows where they stand in the flow. You can also allow the user to navigate forward or back in the wizard.
It would also be nice if you can choose the time with the dates.
Same here, state machines are fantastic to extend state driven UIs without worrying about breaking existing behavior. If you find XState too verbose consider using a DSL that compiles down to JS like Lucy: https://lucylang.org
This is exactly where I am at now. I live in Canada and where I am at the local market of companies is just pathetic. I generally receive recruter emails from companies in my city offering a 25-50% of what I am making at a smaller shop remotely.
I miss being in an office and having a connection to the people I work with, but I also refuse to compromise my salary, time, ergonomic home office, and flexibility to get this connection.
I am offended by him and at the same time don't mind him having a platform to express his "opinions" which apparently is an unpopular opinion on this site.
And who can contribute to `elm` and `elm-explorations`? The 7 cool dudes.
The Elm contributor circle is a clique that you literally have to be a strong contact with one of the contributors to get into it. It goes against everything open source stands for.
You can do this with Node.js as well using: https://github.com/vercel/pkg
Not sure why this is downvoted. I am _radically_ against prison punishments for non-violent crimes since they don't achieve anything, but for crimes like these, I honestly don't want to live in a society where someone with this kind of judgement is allowed to roam freely and cause more harm.
in democracies citizens are potential voters, foreigners don't matter
Not long ago, what determined whether you "mattered" or not was your religion and belief. We now replaced it with a state issued piece of paper and convinced ourselves that this is progress.
Oh you mean like they liberated the people of Iraq in 2003? yeah North Koreans are really missing out...
And people in Cuba and Hong Kong raise American flags just because the US is an enemy of their State (enemy of my enemy is my friend) not because of "freedom and change".
You aren't going to Iraq to change the Iraqis. Just the opposite. we are fighting this war to preserve the principle of "live and let live."
Can we bring this America back?
