A framework competitor! Most of all I love the keyboard. Full size arrow keys as well as home, end and page up/down nearby.

I wish framework laptops could come with multiple possible keyboard layouts like the one on the picture.

It strikes me that SCREAMING_CASE was a good idea in an age where the displays only had two colors - black/white or black/green...

Do you have a concrete example?

Looks likely. The server part of it is just a PHP-hook.

This will be great!

I was just working on an app where this exact pattern would have been useful. The app mixes serverside html with some sprinkles of React for a checkout flow. Command and commandfor would have made the linking of the two much nicer. Apps following the islands pattern will also benefit from this feature.

Sidenote: I think the web's biggest problem in the future will be how hard it is to deprecate functionality.

Maybe we need Html6 to be about removing/simplifying features from the browsers?

For me, the way he approached debugging was worth it. The way he went about creating hypotheses and testing them is something I've gone back to again and again.

Writing and maintaining clear concise CSS for a large application requires serious effort. It usually fails fast as the design grows and changes and a larger team tries to work on the codebase.

This falls down to the old "it depends" slogan. Tailwind is a great way to scale a your css with a larger codebase / team while semantic CSS will give you a smaller tighter stylesheet and cleaner html for that single handcoded landingpage or blog.

Also the download cost of tailwind falls as the size of the app grows and each utilityclass is used in more contexts.

I know of people who used leaked customer ids in public facing chatbot solutions (like Intercom) to estimate how fast their competitors were growing and/or how many customers they had.

Gitlab cannot compete alone with Github copilot and their other AI offerings, so they bring in Google. Smart, if obvious, move.

We maintain a contract with RedPill/Linpro for managing a DB cluster on Hetzner. When we ordered it it was cheaper to use Linpro + Hetzner than hosting the DB on Digital Ocean...

We considered DO but found that it was cheeper to hire a sysops firm (Linpro) to manage the DBs on Hetzner. This has the added bonus of humans that you can call if needed...

> - a court forces a public institution to cease using Office365 (no fines possible there)

AFAIK, in Norway, most fines have been directed at public institutions.

How does 16" screens work on planes? I'm in the market for a new laptop (any ETA on Norwegian support for frameworks?) and the 16" screens of the new Thinkpads are looking very nice.

This may cut both ways with regards to innovation. For example, Europe as come way longer than the US when it comes to automation in various sectors (see f.x. the recent Economist article about inefficiencies in the US retail sector).

The main US advantage wrt to the last generation of tech giants (i.e. Google, Facebook and Amazon) is language. You will reach scale far faster in the US than in Europe because you do not have to translate your product to new languages and markets. Thus the US giants reached scale before similar European products could compete.

The way I read the document is that the main reason is that they do not have to upgrade their whole stack including dependencies like React Router.

Stepping off the dependency upgrade treadmill is an interesting and valid point that I think many HN readers dream of. It seems to me that Etsy has ended up so far behind current React that going to Preact is a very valid direction to take.
