1. that's a lie, and "lots" of people don't use HTMX (unless I've been living under a rock and there is a non-unsubstantial number of people using it :D ) 2. HTMX IS javascript, and you can still use the same familiar packages across front end and backend e.g. lodash

I mean the obvious answer is language familiarity, If your projects frontend code is in javascript/typescript ( which it is ), then using node is an easy choice. Shared libraries, shared types, etc etc

unfortunately this disables the media keys completely -- the point of the linked software is it still allows it for media players intended -- such as spotify; and blocks the apple media player from hihacking

I had never heard of FBI radio but it's right up my alley, and I've actually lived in Sydney for many years. So cheers for the inadvertent recommendation there

Same but with Pokemon gold.

The guide was basically a bible for me at that age, and used it heavily to guide me through parts of the game I would get stuck at.

I seem to remember places like the ice skating scenes and victory road being far more challenging than they probably were in reality.

This article made me laugh because it's synonymous to me trying to start a project and going down different rabbit holes.

The author at step 1. of a project trying to pick the tech stacks, decides to read a book on databases to help with choosing a DB

Then proceeds to segue to writing his own database.

Then writes a blog about said process

I wonder how that original project has come along? I'm looking forward to when the author gets to the stage of picking a frontend framework

I just want to add That I genuinely love the new update. Mostly because how noticeably snappier the app feels on both desktop and mobile!

It also feels more intuitive to use on mobile, and this is coming from someone who typically hates app design changes

I buy into the same belief as you here, but I guess you could easily argue that you could create a suitable fitting abstraction earlier on with the understanding that you can "detach" them once the point that they're fundamentally different comes

This reminds me of the time me and some friends took LSD at a zoo.

We ended up realising we were way more fascinated by the signs than any of the animials.

Then ended up hysterically laughing when we realised that we were at a zoo mesmerised by everything but the things we planned to be mesmerised by

Not necessarily, akin to using some other resource like stack overflow, I now know what the command was attempting to achieve and can debug it from there. ChatGPT is actually fantastic for breaking down outputs and explaining what it was trying to do at each part, which can help significantly for getting you to the final result you want

Yeah good point, I guess I meant I now know that “sed” is the command I want to use for what I wanted to do, and now a little more experienced with knowing when and how I can use it

Amazing interfaces for particular scenarios if you look at them from another angle though.

Yesterday I wanted to write a bash script to do a particular task. "

I never properly learnt bash and it takes me a very long time to do something simple, furthermore, in this case, I didn't actually know the particular tools which were needed for what I wanted to write.

After inputting, it correctly solves the exact problem for me which was perfect.

Working backwards, I then asked it to explain what each part of the script was doing -- and learned the syntax for sed etc, along with gaining a better understanding of what what each command was doing.

The point i'm trying to make here, is that it's amazing to tackle some interactions more naturally. Top down, instead of bottom up.

This can help reduce the paralysis that occurs when working with the unknown. Someone very skilled with photoshop might understand the tool very well and work with particular tools to come up with a result. but Natural language can have you provide the desired end result and work down to fine details.

I highly recommend everyone look through the other playlists on Spotify that the account also generates.

Gives you an insight into the hilarious prompts others here are using

That's a shame for you as the general sentiment is how approachable and easy to pick up it is!

Big difference is that porn is incognito so probably a little more difficult to try matching preferences with your peers for good reasons lol

I don't find myself using TikTok much, but when I do it's easy for me to slip into a black void for an hour watching videos. I found the app was able to determine a pretty reasonable algorithm for me waaaay to quickly

Hah! Back in 2010 when I was a teenager and before I had tried drugs of any kind I became fascinated with something called I-doser, which are "binaural beats" marketed as audio drugs.

They basically offered mp3 files which would emit sound waves which would allegedly mimic certain drugs.

After reading success reports on forums, I tried a few and from memory it did slightly put me into a meditative state but nothing more.

What are the chances! I literally started working on the same thing last night (except I was going to always use picasso themed images

So [noun + verb]+ "by picasso"

An AI printed a phone mount for me... I used a 3D printer.

I think most people use facebook, just maybe not for the social feed.

I'm in my 20s and It's a reliable way for managing events, group chats and marketplace

Yeah sure. Regarding advertising, i'm sure the clothing labels that target young female demographics on instagram would thrive by changing their branding to target all genders of all ages.

This article is an incredible oversimplification.

Personalisation is effective. I've tested enough personalisation campaigns to be convinced.

And as a counter argument to Youtube/Instas algos. The reason TikTok has become so popular is that it simply better at personalising content, than say instagram reels.

When I was around 10 years old on Holiday overseas with my parents in Australia, my Mum tasked me with fetching cigarettes and milk from the convenience store one street over.

I managed to somehow fuck up the straight line trip home, and returned nearly 2 hours later to my mother in hysterics on the phone to the police.

I think that was the end of my independence and parent's faith in me.

Why the fuck is this top of HN.

I'm picturing way to many people viewing this today and thinking "Wow! Websites can be made without React? I will upvote!"

Are we at a point where university Web101 classes just jump straight into SPAs?

Probably a highly jaded opinion, but the way I perceived this is that left leaning is seen to signify higher social empathy -- which is something that people on that end would value from peers.

Where as on the flip side, right leaning people likely don't have the same conservative requirements for a partner.

So i'm not really surprised at all by the results.

I'm not sure how the Indian part is relevant, but I do think the Barbie girl song is a little different. I was very young when this song came out and so it was popular when I was a kid. Barbie girl is just an innocent innuendo in a way, because any one young just interprets it completely differently to an adult.

Before the 170 daily case 'outbreak' we were able to go a fairly long time without any community transmissions. The point of military involvement is to try enforce an effective lockdown so people take lockdown seriously and we stop the spread as fast as possible while we finally start rolling out vaccines.

That's not the point.

We've gone months without any community covid cases and suddenly there's a break out.

The point in military involvement is to to make sure the lockdown we run is actually effective and doesn't drag on for months while we finally push vaccination rates up

I think it's more of a resource prioritisation thing.

I THINK If the resource is async, it will still scan the document to find all resources before the downloads begin. Adding preload basically just tells the browser that the resource is important and should begin the download immediately.

Found this, kind of explains it https://speedcurve.com/blog/preload-scripts/
