I really like htmx, and intercooler.js before it. It's been a while since I tried to convince a co-worker to use it, it might be time to try again. Either way I can't wait to try out the new version.
One of the things that is great about htmx (besides being the best library) is the lack of modern silicon valley corpo communication. It has the slightly unhinged feel of a nerd that spent too much time on Newgrounds or 4chan or something awful. Which is how the internet aught to be.
I think backing services as attached resources was opposed to the practice of having your DB, and cache, and whatnot managed and maintained by a completely separate team and not really treated as part of the application. Even the schema changes.
The port binding was really a response to tomcat or modphp being modules in the webserver, as opposed to hosting their own web service internally. This was before nginx took off, and proxying to internal application ports was common.
edit:
I was wrong about the backing services, it seems it is really about treating them as configurations and being able to swap them out without making code changes.
Heroku seemed like it was going to be the future back then. Every time I find myself struggling to understand some nonsense in Azure I dream of the simpler future we lost.
They got painfully expensive and then acquired. I still remember the arguments with clients and finally went all in AWS ECS, which is still quite pricey but clients seem to complain less about the Amazon bill then they did about Heroku.
Other than the pricing, for something built for simplicity, i always found their config method bit weird. Maybe it's just me b/c I first learned the aws stack, and got tired of managing EKS
Yeah I don't see a reason to use k8s if not on cloud, and k8s on cloud is even more complex. Compose is still the right size for one box, that one command does all was really nice to have
If AI really is democratizing technology, it won’t be long before we get back to everyone having a personal website.
I remember blowing everyone’s mind when i wrote a php script to scrape my bands myspace to keep our website up to date with show details. It was like a magic trick.
That sort of power is in the hands of the masses now, they just don’t know it yet.
* If you're lucky enough to have had rich enough parents to not have to worry about money too much, yes, you'll probably optimize for doing things you enjoy, but people who spend a lot of their younger years with money issues will sometimes obsess about it and really focus their lives around 'getting rich'.*
I think you’re in the right ballpark, and I have seen it play out exactly that. However, I think it is even more common for rich kids to obsess about getting richer.
In my experience, as long as their needs are being met, most people get used to whatever lifestyle they are raised in, and stick with it. if they grew up in a family that chases wealth, and equates income with self worth, then they tend to keep doing that.
Does anyone know if something like this is required to be approved by the FDA? Like if someone were to make one for the hobbyist/weight loss market, would that even be legal?
It depends on intended use. If it is to diagnose, cure, treat, or prevent a medical condition then it is a medical device that may need approval. If it's not intended for anything medical, it doesn't need FDA approval. For example, clinical thermometers are class II medical devices, lab thermometers aren't medical devices at all. If the device were genuinely only marketed for general wellness, it would be exempt.
Isn’t that the point they were trying to make?
