<p>Hi Michiel!<p>Just a small headsup: clicking on the Leiden Python link in your About Me page give not the expected results.<p>And a small nitpick: it's "Michiel's" in English (where it's "Michiels" in Dutch).<p>Thanks for devoting time to opensource... <3</p>

<p>I went with SSR for a new project started 2025Q4. I'm not against React, but when I have to make an SPA (or very interactive component in an SSR app) I much rather use Elm.<p>In order to do the JS that I have to do with an SSR app I went with Alpine.js. It reduces the JS I have to write and that fits my SSR approach.<p>It feels a bit like a modern jQuery to be honest: you cannot build whole apps with it, but just to sprinkle on top of an SSR it does really well.</p>

<p>Indeed. It's weird they write so much with addressing the elephant.<p>So lets discuss it...<p>From the start I thought that the TechEmpower Benchmarks were testing all the metrics the JVM is good at, and non the JVM is bad at (mainly: memory usage, start-up time, container size). I got the idea back then than they were a JVM shop (could not confirm this on their current website).<p>Lately the JVM contenders are not longer at the top. And the benchmark contains many contenders with highly optimized implementations that do not reflect real life use.</p>

<p>Which is kind of understandable as Wayland tries to be more secure: and thus in Wayland not all keyboard events are propagated to all applications (that's what X11 does). I think it's a good idea to put security first in this iteration of FLOSS desktop technology.</p>

<p>So much agreed. I'm constraining my AI, that always wants to add more dependencies, create unnecessary code, broaden test to the point they become useless. I have in mind what I want it to build, and now I have workflows to make sure it does so effectively.<p>I also ask it a lot of questions regarding my assumptions, and so "we" (me and the AI) find better solutions that either of us could make on our own.</p>

<p>It's a cuban-missle-crisis like moment for Russia. And they act accordingly.<p>I'm not in favor of one or the other: I just notice imperialism when I see it. And Russia+Iran have been much less aggressive than the "allied western forces" for the last 60 years, while they have a lot of reasons to dig in and toughen up not to become the next Libya/Iraq/Syria/etc.</p>

<p>Religious concerns are, IMHO, always a facade for the underlying economic/territorial/geopolitical reasons. These religious facades help sell the war effort: get young men to enlist and fight to the death for "preserving their identity". And "muh freedom" is just as much a religious motivation to me (unsubstantiated, indoctrinated, unthreatened).</p>

<p>US sanctions, US/Moss instigates, makes the Iranis desparate. Irani regime (that is the result of US intervention decades ago) digs in and toughens up.<p>People die in the streets.<p>Who's to blame? The Irani regime? C'mon...<p>It's like crashing your car into a tree and and blaming the tree.<p>Also: you really think the US/Moss care about dead Iranis in the streets, other than it being a useful pretext to go to war?</p>

<p>And inflicted less damage than the fire bombing campaigns on civ pop centers that were carried out along side the A-bombs.<p>The A-bombs were not the worst part of the attack on Japan. And thus were not "needed to end the war". They were part of marketing /the/ super power.</p>

<p>Why you call people critical of the mRNA-jab to be "anti vax"? I'm not against all vaccines, just the mRNA treatment that was rushed out and pushed on us was a giant fraud. The word "anti vax" is part of the campaign to push it on us: demonize the people that are hesitant.</p>

<p>You say:<p>> No, he did not<p>Then you continue saying he did say it, but explained himself later (after it came out) in a way that makes his earlier statement void. "Plausible deniability"<p>I'm not anti-vax, I'm critical. This C19-jab was risky and had little to no benefits. That's obvious. Even the Epstein files (probably you also think that those are merely a conspiracy) mention then covid response was orchestrated.<p>I know some really wealthy people and many of them did not take it. Not sure if they go by the definition of plutocrat.<p>You are conned by the pushed narrative: so naive.</p>
