    I do understand that's what they have in mind. But that's not what immediate mode means. Function application is not the only criteria. We are talking about rendering into a browse…

    > immediate mode You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. React most definitely falls under what would be called a "retained mode" of some sort. A…

    What's wrong with the Tailscale free tier? There is also Headscale if you want to self host. https://headscale.net

    He says here that they have a direct Tailscale integration of the type that requires using the `tsnet` package, which is Go. Or at least would pull in the Go runtime as part of a s…

    I don't understand what is broken with the browser's management of typed content. Do you have an example of UX that requires a custom state management layer on top?

    Would love to hear about which of those listed examples does not currently have native browser support.

    I've had decent results telling agents to use emacs for structural editing operations. Pretty rare that I need to move a function across files verbatim but that should only be a fe…

    Every one of those are things that the browser manages for you if you are using semantic markup and embracing web standards.

    Based on skimming the couple sibling comments, I believe the issue you have had with htmx is precisely that you have somehow conflated it with angular. If you think they're the sam…

    As someone who wrote a lot of angular back in the day, and who writes a lot of htmx in the current day... That comparison makes absolutely no sense. The only thing the 2 have in co…

    I'm doing a bunch of x86_64 assembly these days and Fable is simply not allowed to debug it. Hoping Opus 5 has a bit more freedom.

    Is there a link anywhere for a docs site for this? Really curious to know what "deep data sources" they have set up for the Native Global Market Data feature.

    Early 2000s tech could absolutely handle LLM agents as a client. They output like 1-2kbps and even dial up modems would have plenty of capacity for other traffic. The UI itself req…

    No, the fundamental problem of these apps is that they are, for no reason, pretending they need a high powered game engine rendering loop. They don't. It's a text printout of histo…
