Htmx 1.2.0 Release 5 years ago

I have been using htmx in one project and I must say I’m very happy about it. Take some getting used to but it integrates well. This release fixes some of my biggest issues. Difficult to send different variables om different requests and the need for a form tag. Nice!

Thanks for your hard work I will give this release a try soon. :)

I'm a paying customer for Dropbox and I've just had it installed on my computer for when I occasionally had to share files with customers. Never really felt I used it to any extent but I also never canceled my subscription because I'm happy for what it is and I can't bother to find alternatives.

However my computer recently crashed and when "re-installing" Dropbox I discovered that they have many more useful "Apps" included like backup and password-sync and a neat paper scanning app for the phone. All of which I was very happy to discover. So I see myself keeping my subscription for the foreseeable future. :)

Delete all profiles with five or more digits in the username. Joking aside it will be interesting to see what they can come up with for solutions to platform integrity. I find myself using Twitter more and more and the only SoMe I really "follow".

Thanks for sharing some thrilling insight! From what I have gathered my own conclusion was pretty inline with what you say. That the real power is behind the scenes at the database level and customizations of datasets. When I first saw the UI (pretty recently) I was underwhelmed. I'm curious if you can elaborate some more if you think that the UI can be changed/improved without changing the fundamentals or is it tightly coupled?

It seems to me that they have one product per customer. I'm curious how scalable it is I guess.

Aside. I became very interested in Palantir. Much because I liked Alex Karps philosophy in that this technology is ineveteble, controversal or not, and that it's up to regulators to scope the use of it. If not Palantir some other company down the line will do the same (if not already) and personally I'd go with team Karp.

Dang, I registered hyperapp domain because I thought it was a good name and wanted to build something cool there. Like all side projects it’s not about the idea but the execution. I’ll put this in my bin together with slackday (Should have registered slack:)

On topic: This looks interesting and I Will be giving it a try. Well done!

Oh thanks! Yes my "problem" is mostly around what types to return or rather how to find them. To be aware that separate types package must be installed is definitely something to get into habit.

I wasn't aware of the `.d.ts` files. It sounds a lot like what I was looking for! Thanks again for your feedback and help :-)

Thanks for your replies. Glad to hear it's working well for you. I want to learn it myself. Was hesitant to ask questions here because this is not Stackoverflow :-) I will check out the discord.

Just to follow up what I meant i created a quick gist. Not working code but maybe can explain it a bit better.

What I mean as an example is this. I create a function that uses styled-components. I have no idea what the return type should be at first. I must dig into internals of styled-components and eventually find something like "AnyStyledComponent" which is basically the same as "Any" but for styled-components.

This is just one example. Just curious. Not to pick at either Typescript or styled-components which are both great!

Any pro typescripter have any tips for how best use it in existing Node/React codebase?

This article mentions material-ui and styled-components. My experience with typescript has been cumbersome with these libraries. A lot of time is spent figuring out what ”types” to return. I find this very difficult in most cases and not fun at all.

I figure there must be something wrong in my approach or in my ts config (no explicit any).

In short. How to best handle styled-components/material-ui/other library in ts environment? Or is typescript just to much overhead in these usecases?

Part of the point Apple is trying to make is that the AppStore helped Spotify grow their business and prove the business model. Spotify really took of when they started the beta of the iOS App. In Sweden, and then rolling out to the countries in EU, where iPhones (at least at the time) had a dominant market share.

I still find it true that a lot of the early iOS users still have their premium subscription. And I wouldn't be surprised if iOS is dominant in the premium users of Spotify today.

I found the response by Apple good and I think they've helped Spotify grow a lot. Suing Apple feels a bit like they are shooting themselves in the foot.

Feels like Activision is keeping Blizzard from making content. Content that players would gladly pay for.

Hope they atleast get to keep their phones... shame really I assume they don’t fire the management first...

I thought this was pretty cool when reading about it. And then I read Buckethead made the music and now I HAVE to order the Limited Edition! :D Dang it will set me back $166 but hey Christmas is around the corner. Happy holidays!

Annoying that the site hijacks your back button history like a porn site. What’s up with that? Sure I want to give Typescript (or the equvilent) a try but this feels desperate if not an error.

Stories I’ve hear from friends to my family who worked at Netflix made me cringe. Regular meetings where everyone at the meeting have to do presentations about their own recent work at the company and basically have to present why they should stay instead of the ”other guy” who will be fired. No rest with constant fear of being fired or the alternative if you ”make it” is constant preasure of performaning better than other teams. This breeds a backstabbing culture for sure.

edit spelling

Great news but I have to ask. Maybe someone here can share their view/opinion about the market and what’s going on.

Musk can’t tweet about going private. So a major short seller sue him and Tesla. Stock ”crash” during two months. Short seller completly turn around and now long the stock which rises A DAY before this report?

Eyebrows should be raised so high everyone go bald. Where Will this end with SEC? And How is this not manipulation from both sides?

Disclaimer: Sure I am a fan boy and we all ”knew” they were going to make a profit soon. Great work and this is promising for the future!

Node 11.0 8 years ago

I don't have any experience with Django. I'm hoping to learn Django next as it seem to solve a lot of backend complexity and provide a nice way to model data.

The reason I choose Node for the backend on one project was to have the same codebase and not maintain two systems (this project is in React so Node is a nice fit). But in hindsight I feel like I should have evaluated Django more. Node is difficult to maintain since it is so active with lots of dependencies to track :)

Would also like to hear someone else's experience with maintaining a Django project vs. Node.

I have Bahnhof 100/100 at the moment. Effectivly (through wi-fi/AirPort) on a lucky day I get like 50% out of it on average.

This offer is 1000% increase in capacity for a 20% price increase and changing router? Seems too good to be true and stupid if not upgrading. But I suspect it’s only full capacity at like one place in Stockholm.

Bit strange that they choose to partner with Huawei. Doesnt feel Bahnhof especially after resent hardware stories. But I guess its a long process...

*edit: better phrasing

Looks like a great release even to a Postgres noob like myself. Only just recently started using Postgres but I really enjoy it and it inspires me to dust of my database skills and learn more SQL.

I'd like to take the opportunity and ask if anyone has any recommendations or "must have" settings to the Postgres-terminal. Preferably on MacOSX.

For I found the formatting acting kind of weird in some cases when selecting multiple columns or writing long queries. I figure there must be some things you setup at the start and then can not live without...

Any other tips are also welcome! Thanks
