Yep, the one and only

I used the Brave AI to give me a summary of this and it showed me a picture of DHH

Where's HTMX?

I'd be fine with AI infringement if any work made with / by AI was put into the public domain. If someone has a better solution, I have yet to hear it.

Big fan of this, but I still feel like getting anything working through ROCM is a chore and a half. There's a dire need for standardisation across hardware and software stacks in ML.

Managing state in the frontend is the worst, no matter the framework. I understand why a large company like Facebook wants it to be done client side, but for the rest of us, I'd argue its nowhere near worth the hassle.

If all you have is React, everything looks like a SPA.

I honestly think the real problem is that we have a whole generation of web devs that really only know react.

Well, they would be holding back the web, if they had significant marketshare. Personally at my job we dropped Firefox support. I imagine we're not the only ones to do so.

Not having PWA & Webworker support isn't a win. I use PWAs myself.

Good point Manifest V3 is scary, but there are chromium forks out keeping it at bay, question is if thats a long terms solution or just a bandaid?

I don't think its really about people keeping their devices long. One of the most appealing aspects of buying a mac is their longevity.

I think it's more to do with newer macs being more iterative and also the Apple Silicon being fully integrated into the whole product stack.

The jump from Intel to M1 was huge, but M2 and M3 have been more iterative, at the same time everyone who wants an Apple Silicon Mac probably has one by now, so the iterative upgrades of M2 & M3 aren't really that meaningful.

Legitimate question here: Is there a legit reason to Firefox over Chrome at this point? I mean, its not performance, its not convenience, and now its not even privacy. At this rate, it looks like Firefox is going to end up just like Chrome, but slower and less fully featured.

Reminds me of the "What is my purpose" scene from Rick and Morty.

You could try hosting on a cheap VPS and use PocketBase for your backend, or if thats too heavy handed, just use sqlite. If you're building something quick you don't wanna worry about handling a million requests per second.

I haven't used it much. (don't use it for work) But I'll say its different. Very "backend first", so there's a bit of setup required server-side, setting up end-points and such. But not having to manage state or unpack json in the frontend is probably the best thing about HTMX.

You send a request to a server from frontend, the backend responds with html and places it on the page where specified. Its much more intuitive and lower mental load than something like react or vue.

Its not too bad. You could take a look at something like "BunJS + HTMX", its pretty killer.

Well, depending on your definition of "tool" I'd say its still a proper answer. Unless you're calling me a tool, which would just be funny :)

HTML, CSS & Javascript.

Makes sense, due to the sanctions. But HarmonyOS is basically just android, but worse. Seeing Chinese companies copy open source projects and using them to make proprietary garbage is honestly sad.

Microsoft really is the king of bloat.

I've implemented their Clarity analytics before and its the heaviest analytics integration I've dealt with by far.

I don't know what kind of paint thinner they're sniffing over there in Redmond, but its potent stuff.

But that is exactly the issue with React imo. In React needless complexity isn't hidden away, its front and center. Frameworks like Svelte do a far better job hiding and managing actual complexity.

Out of React, Vue & Svelte I much prefer Svelte's approach since its the closest you can get to vanilla javascript. But I suppose we're getting pretty off topic at this point.

Firefox: hey Brave, can I hope your home work? Brave: Sure just change it a little so it doesn't look obvious.

My honest reaction: https://giphy.com/gifs/personal-squidward-existential-crisis...

Agree completely, but if you "need" that level of complexity, I'd rather be working with Vue or Svelte.

Oh idk let me think.. off the top of my head: - Vue - Svelte - Solid - Qwik - Alpine - Lit Or better yet HTMX

I'm just lightly poking fun. React is not something I personally like working with.

Sounds like "Its hard, so it can't be done" to me. There are plenty of people making good software in C++, how else would we have what we have. Sure, things get bloated and break over time, but thats not due to programmers not knowing C++, thats just what happens as a product evolves. New coders get brought in, focus shifts, understanding of the code based erodes. Its not that language, its the process.
