Obvious trick question: why would the state in a web page be complex and need a large team to manage?

Sick of paying the Apple tax and want to send a message? Here’s how to correct Apple’s course and save some money at the same time:
⭐️ Spend 30% less on Apple products and services this year. ⭐️
In this thread, you’ll find some specific steps to take to show that we don’t like Apple taking 30% of our money when we buy things on iOS.

I wonder if that has an effect. I use Safari heavily, have not seen tabs disappear, and do not have iCloud enabled. Apple has a bit of a history with data loss bugs related to cloud syncing. Who knows? Very frustrating.

Are you logged in to iCloud with Safari enabled for iCloud?

The consensus is that Apple has failed to comply with the DMA which is why the EC has started investigations & enforcement actions. Since the DMA requires what you want, the failure is surely Apple’s. Please consider sending feedback to the EC if you feel that things aren’t progressing to your satisfaction.

It can be OK for a guy with a fishing rod to go fly fishing in a local river without it being OK for a trawler to extract all the fish from the same river. The fly fisherman is not proof that the trawler is allowed to fish the river.
Similarly, AI companies scraping material from the web to train their LLMs is not fair use just because humans are allowed to read that same content.

The only problem is that Apple could change its mind at any moment and fuck up my plan.

If Apple is going to start releasing no-new-features operating systems, I’m moving.
To the EU.

But without further research, how do you know which of those 20 activities are real? I think it was MSN that was generating touristy articles about cities that had exactly that problem: the LLM would fabricate places and events that didn’t exist.

You can treat `any` as `T` implicitly. You can’t treat `unknown[]` as `T` implicitly. That’s why you need the `as any`.
You could move the `any` into your Map. Otherwise you could tell the compiler that the data you are retrieving from the map is expected to be a T by making your function generic on T and using `as T` instead of `as any`.
Ultimately if you store heterogenous data in the map but don’t use `any` there, you’ll need an explicit cast to get back a specific type.

Is it possible that you’re confusing cast syntax with generic argument passing syntax?
`<type>fn()` is a cast to `type`.
`fn<type>()` passes `type` as a generic argument.
You’re getting `number` because you’re casting to `number` (Typescript calls this a “type assertion”)

Dave, I truly believe that you could only say this if you have never asked ChatGPT anything about yourself. Can you confirm whether or not you have asked ChatGPT a range of questions about yourself? If you have not, I suggest you try it, for example by using positive language about things you know to be false and perhaps including phrases like “top 10”, “the best”, “the worst”.

Client-side cache?

Why store any toots? It’s not exactly a client once you’re storing post data.

How about something like `Object.fromEntries(Object.entries(o).filter(…))`

I’m very interested in the responses to this question. I’ve done similar research to you. It looked to me like the common case would be write a standard multi page website then, where you want partial replacement (“interactivity”), you would have server responses tailored to those tasks. It didn’t feel to me that those responses would be tailored to HTMX so much as tailored to the task.
What model of web development are you implicitly comparing to?
