Interesting choice of words.

Ehhh, only seems that way because you're so entrenched in React with minimal htmx experience.
I've used both pretty extensively and they both feel similar in the magic aspect, except htmx is cleaner.

I'd agree typically but paywalling open source government software just to talk about it is wild behavior.

$500 a month and it has had many major outages in 2024 alone. lol

You know what I would find worse than telling my customers that they can't access the application they paid for and works because I farmed my auth out to a 3rd party that is having an outage?
Telling them that my auth provider isn't out, but the thing I use to show them a blue button vs a red button is.
Oof.

You're statistically more likely to become a burnout drunk than a burnout stoner.
Literally every highly successful person you look up to in tech has been a proponent of weed usage, hell some even went farther with psychedelics.
Like op, I too attribute a lot of my success to being a daily user of weed since I was 12.
Re:Back to basics: Why we chose long-polling over websockets
on Sunday January 05, 2025 @03:14PM (#42604655)
You can alias it if you're worried about shadowing.
import { setTimeout as loiter } from "node:timers/promises";
await loiter(500);
Re:Back to basics: Why we chose long-polling over websockets
on Sunday January 05, 2025 @03:13PM (#42604641)
In the context of Node.js, where op said, yes it is easier. But it's a new thing and most people don't realize timers in Node are awaitable yet, so the other way is less about "works everywhere" and more "this is just what I know"

And also at this point a lot of people are just sick and tired of fighting autocorrect when they type a word right but the autocorrect deems that word not the correct one and swaps it with another (for example typing "fuck" and autocorrect swaps with "duck" and have just begun "eh, anyone with an ounce of IQ will read that how its intended" and move on with their time.

You make it sound like "refusing to help" was in the context of a random person begging for help to a stranger.
It's more "hey, pay me a percentage of your wages and when you need help with medical bills, we will help you..." then denying the help.

And then when this project explodes and becomes as well known as Electron is eclipsing Google Colab (I never heard of it until today) then your argument is invalid.
And you're right, we can keep getting into this loops, so lets nip it in the bud where it all begins and shocker, not tell people to change the name of their stuff because something else exists with a similar name but completely unrelated.
