I've found some basic lifestyle changes to be way more effective at weight-loss and inducing well-being than a drastic chemical therapy like Ozempic. Imbibe at your own risk.
- Intermittent fasting (16x8 or at least stop eating after sun down)
- Daily morning pranayama (or 'breath work' if you prefer that term)
- Daily morning intake of copper utensil stored water (~8 hours or overnight)
- Weekly oil pulling for gum health.
This approach feels a bit stoic and neanderthal initially, less attuned to our modern and progressive society, but as effective as Ozempic in long-run (minus the side-effects or addiction).
If bots are being used to create chaos in society, it really isn't possible that the platforms themselves are just innocent bystanders here. It is technically possible and quite easy for the platforms to block bots if they really wanted to, in fact it's actually in their best interest to have human only organic activity as it increases the platform's credibility and reduces network cost. If they're still letting bots operate and actually post content on their platforms, they're likely in cahoots with the politicians.
> I personally do not like the Javascript frontend ecosystem. It's hacks on top of hacks on top of hacks. But, do you know another way to deploy software that's cross-platform and basically free of gatekeepers?
One way is what I call the "Modular MVC pattern" that involves pure js routing and manual DOM manipulation without using any framework at all. You handle complexity in two ways: by modularizing the "controller" parts into multiple js modules for each route, and "view" parts into multiple HTML partials - and using the event bus pattern if your app gets too complex (as alternative to modern reactive frameworks like react/vue).
Shameless plug: I've tried to implement this exact pattern with limited success in Abhyasa Quiz App[1], a side project.
Not a tailwind geek myself but I think how they justify is "better to have a little extra spaghetti in your html code than create a truck load of spaghetti in your app.css stylesheet."
The alternative to using tailwind here is to define the specific style elements for each one in the css stylesheets yourself with something like this:
.bg-sky-500 {
background-color: blue;
}
Tailwind proponents argue that they avoid this "stylesheet hell" by picking ready pre-defined tailwind classes like bg-sky-500, etc. Plus they also argue that this workflow will increase productivity by standardizing "style mindsets" of your dev team who all will think "blue" means "sky-500" (for example).
Maybe it has use cases in deep or professional design work but for most backend or full-stack devs, bootstrap is definitely better than meddling with this structure.
Yes, most people in this age are trapped in the widespread phenomenon of "digital media induced dopamine traps". Your mind may never let you use old school slow information gathering tools (like books, manuals and software documentation) when easy and instant servings like LLM lookups and youtube vids are so accessible. Your mind might ask "why go through all that pain and trouble, what's the use of it?" and you'll have no easy answer to that.
Tunneling isn't that big of a toll on resource, it doesn't require storage/disk space nor compute power (CPU chips), all it needs is ingress/egress (spare bandwidth). A non-profit or decent business in telco can easily offer it, consider that many hosting companies offer entire package in free tier today (compute + disk + egress).
For several years, ngrok was practically free, only recently they've started monetizing once it gained popularity.
Yes, similar thing happened with Ruby gems community some days ago. Did the contributors got their access back now or Shopify is still controlling all the affairs?
With no routes, no controllers, no business logic, how can the capability exist? These are the core components of a web app and require extensive coding. I know we might eventually get there but not with the present state of technology. There is something fundamental missing about "intelligence" which must be solved before AGI can be approached, throwing more money and nVidia chips at the problem can only take you so far.
