Brilliant. But be prepared for failure. Some days instead of the rejection you're expecting you'll be accepted instead!

Yes, that's right. You work your way up to bigger and bigger potential rejections all while realizing that maybe you're asking too little.

It's not really a promised or conscious boycott. It's after weighing the pros and cons, many of them intangible, the feeling is visiting the US right now could result in unpleasantness ... and if there is anything Canadians are adverse to it is unpleasantness. Anecdata: a friend of ours crossing the US border, despite being a VP at a bank, for her first time ever had to surrender her phone for examination by US border agents. Who needs that!

Same here. I have friends in the US but I've resigned myself to not seeing them again for a long time because I won't subject myself to that amount of harassment. If ever a country hung out a giant "Please stay away, you're not welcome here" sign, this is it.

Yeah, it's the same for me, I'm in Europe but I have places to sleep in the US. I was supposed to go this summer with my family but the uncertainty on how we'll get treated at the border (last time wasn't great for those of us who struggled with English already, I can't imagine what would have happened under this admin).

It's sad because WV might have like 15 European tourist every year and we're 5-9 of them depending on the year, but we'll take a year off, that's OK.

I assure you, there is also a conscious boycott from many people.

You are right that it might not necessarily be a hard boycott, but it will take a hell of a lot to lure them into giving Trump and his supplicants a cent of leisure travel.

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.
