Ah OK, so you had a level of dynamic behaviour in the form itself that warranted an applet/data component for the form. I can see how HTMX would not help with that.

I can't really understand what you're describing. You have form on left & results on right, but you're requesting the new form state & re-rendering the form HTML on each request? W…

a hundred dollars a year for this?? What does the service even do with that money? I pay this for 20 years so you can share a google doc upon my demise? I must be missing something…

This section is hilariously hostile towards Palantir. "Wired wrote that some people think Palantir "maintains a giant, centralized database of information collected from all of its…

"he hilariously tries to convince people that the best way to have democracy is to not have it at all." I'm sorry but I can't find where he said this. I'm finding it confusing and …

So the objections to Palantir are political? I know nothing about Spanish politics so I assume that makes sense in the Spanish political context. This helps explain why I can't fin…

OK so this is not specific to Palantir, but about entrusting sensitive Spanish data to any US based company. If so, that makes sense.

People in the comments here are praising the move, so presumably something is public. I've googled but I can't see some specific breach or documented misuse. Is the objection to Pa…

> the US seems beholden to Israel Can you explain how Trump's MoU fits into this "beholden to Israel" model? This deal goes directly against Israel's interests and wishes. Biden fo…

"The decision stems directly from growing official concern over the potential misuse of classified information linked to national security." What are the specific concerns?

This is a great example of the prejudice (pre-judging) at play when it comes to Israel. One starts with the conclusion ("Israel/Jews are evil and controlling the government with mo…

AIPAC is not foreign, this is another misconception/lie. AIPAC is an American lobby funded by Americans.

No, I'm saying people obsessed with AIPAC to the exclusion of all other lobbying groups are not motivated primarily by an objection to lobbying. I'm also saying the narrative that …

People think AIPAC is some all powerful unique lobbying group, in fact they're not even in the top 10 major lobbyists. Did you know SpaceX gave 5x as much as AIPAC in 2024? AIPAC w…

Operating an armed group out of civilian areas is not “one weird trick” that makes you immune from attacks. It means you are endangering the civilians around you by putting them in…

I was wondering if I was crazy for thinking "how is what he's suggesting different than just putting that 'class' into a hook function?" I'm glad to see someone already wrote it up…

Not clear how an LLM is going to prevent a bomb from being put in a custom-built pager, or why Anthropic should object to Israel waging war against a militia whose goal it is to de…

Ceasefires are not in place until they are in place. Before they are in place, war is still ongoing. Discussing a ceasefire does not mean there is a ceasefire currently.

Though I agree with the author & use the web version of various applications, there is another side to this. The author says s/he uses plugins to disable ads and so on. If its an a…

Struggling to understand what this is or how it works.

This is broadcast publishing in a nutshell. Look at the early radio shows, they had names like "Alka-Seltzer Time," "The Fleischmann’s Yeast Hour," "The General Motors Hour" and so…
