I know. HATEOAS...

I understand the issue of mixing state models.. angular SPA style vs HATEOAS.

But that still doesn't answer what I was asking about mixing presentation concerns into business logic. Returning HTML means the presentation layer has to know about HTML. Why would that require the business logic to know about it?

I don't understand (possibly because I lack Angular experience): what is it about a .NET backend using HTMX that requires presentation concerns to be mixed with business logic?

Don't you have to maintain that separation either way? Your core/application logic shouldn't know how its result is ultimately represented. That could be JSON or HTML over HTTP, Protobuf over a TCP stream, or a custom binary protocol over a Unix socket.

Obviously those representations matter at the presentation/transport boundary, but why should choosing HTML force that concern into the business logic?

That would have been a MUCH better thing to do.

I was banned for life for pointing out how the Tuttle Twins choice of pricing $14.88 and $88.88 for their children's book bundle sale could be perceived as hate speech.

This is one of my favorite games. I love how while it has a "spiritual" theme, the mechanics feel like pure deduction/scientific method.

We are in the realm of opinion, so I want to offer a contrasting one. We had a great time with it, and yes, it was a one-off thing. The scenarios are about $15 a pop which compared to taking the same group of friends to a movie is a bargain. (and MUCH more engaging, imo) It is like a multi-player point and click adventure with light roleplaying elements. I don't know if it should have won the SDJ, but then again, it didn't. :)

EDIT: added more specific description of what I liked about it, in an attempt to up the quality of my comment.

With all the current attempted and actual dismantling of the factors you mention, perhaps his predictions just need to be time shifted a few decades. Obviously, I hope not.

Im sure those snake oil supplements he peddles on there make you smarter too. /s =P

EDIT: I was just halfway joking when I made this comment (I vaguely knew that he sold supplements for body building)... However, I had no idea about the "Alpha Brain" supplement that he sells. And yes, the punchline is that he claims it provides "cognitive enhancement". And No.. there is no solid science behind it and certainly no doubleblind clinical trials. I only know to care about stuff like this from listening to other podcasts such as "This week in microbiology" and "Skeptoid" that perhaps did make me smarter. (at least I don't fall for supplement scams)

I wasn't aware of the formulation in my comment when I made it. I was trying to rebut a comment that I felt had a little bit of denial running through it. I am clumsy with words though.

Boiling time is a function of air pressure, not strictly elevation. Of course if the airplanes you fly on are not pressurized then you are correct.
