Although the probability is closer to 0% than 100%, it is far enough away from 0% to have many Canadians concerned. As the midterm elections approach and things start looking like he's drowning, Trump will grasp for any convenient distraction, the bigger the better. Canada is uncomfortably on the short list.

Lol, reminds me of a story: at his workplace my brother was invited to join a lottery ticket pool where each got to pick the numbers for a ticket. The numbers he picked were 1-2-3-4-5-6. Although the others, mostly fellow engineers, reluctantly agreed his numbers were as likely as the others, after a couple of weeks they neglected to invite him again.

Especially with template partials now in the core of Django 6.

By the end of Trump's third term the US will be isolated from almost all global trade anyways.

OOP is like alcohol: enjoyable in moderation but dangerous in excess.

In moderation, an object is a data structure with associated functions (methods) that acts as a kind of namespace. If your data structure and functions are separate, you might start having function name collisions.

Hopefully we won't see a prohibition against OOP.

I wouldn't even consider that OOP! (Goes into the definition discussion)

Yup. And Toronto in Canada is closer to the equator than to the north Pole.

I've been doing IT for decades. Many times I've come across something that seems stupid yet also has a non-trivial number of supporters. When this happens (and it will many times), don't just continue to think it's stupid. Question if you are stuck on some paradigm or mindset that makes the thing seem stupid to you. That might call for a good head shake, a walk in the park, or a weekend-long bender to open your mind to new ideas. You don't have to jump on their bandwagon, but at least you'll increase your understanding and strengthen your position.

Maybe it’s for a use case I don’t understand… but I don’t see why anyone would use this for a modern, complex, richly interactive web-app. I also don’t really see any examples of a high quality major production site using htmx.

Lot's of comments here at the "micro" level: about the comfort of an individual pedestrian. There's also the "macro" view: how best to quickly and safely move a large number of pedestrians in a short window of time. The PATH mostly connects Toronto's financial district full of office towers and 9-5 workers with a transportation hub, Union Station, at its south end. Union Station gets around 300,000[0] passengers a day, most but not all are office commuters. Without the PATH, the sidewalks would be absolutely (and dangerously) jammed between 8-9am and 4:30-6pm.

There are those like me who eat meat, like the taste of meat, but think for health reasons they should be eating less meat.
