"At compile I produce a “contract” that informs the back end what I “the front end” wants for the initial HTML response."

Wouldn't that be like a ViewModel in MVVM?


I dont know, maybe it instead is seen as a map of the model to native resources in that system and a language agnostic template with tokens that can be hydrated given they map to the model.

I almost look at this like its a model / template but the model is a map and the template is universal

maybe its more of a "how do we create a standard template" vs this is how I do this in x, y or z.

There are AI comments now? I think ZERO is the appropriate amount of AI comments on this site but I'm just one person.

I know this is a dupe -- I tried to delete it right after posting but for some reason HN didn't let me. Y'all don't need to point to the other thread, I will:

Now if only container support was ready it would be a viable option instead of Linux as the default base OS and container assumption.


Container support is ready since year 2000 on FreeBSD while Linux needed to catch up the game and with Docker finally made it in 2013.

You just don't want to accept that when people say containers, they don't mean jails or LXC...


> container support

you mean, docker? Everything you can do in docker, you can do with jails.

Jails can have Virtual Networks with their own interfaces, you can resource limit, host virtual machines and setup nested jails. As well run the Linux kernel. What more could you want?


> you mean, docker? Everything you can do in docker, you can do with jails.

Jails provide the same sort of primitive as cgroups et al wrapped up into the concept of an OCI container, yes. But lack the entire ecosystem of tooling and services that go around those.

Saying jails are a meaningful alternative to containers completely misses most of the ways in which people actually _use_ containers. The experience as-is is closer to a lightweight VM or LXC than what people associate with containers.

I say this as the kind of stubborn person that invested the time to spin up a cluster of FreeBSD machines running Hashicorp's nomad as a task orchestrator to manage running jails published to my "repository" across the cluster and recreate the general "container" experience. So my experience may be out-of-date, but this isn't from a place of ignorance or lack of love for FreeBSD, but from a place of "I've managed a colossal pile of bash scripts to recreate the container experience with jails and, no, for the average person it's not fair to call it the same thing.".


He means he wants to run FreeBSD inside the container environment, not as the host OS.


No, I'm talking about running FreeBSD on the metal and then running containers without a Linux VM to as the host for containerization.


The container environment has to sit on a kernel. Whether that being Linux or BSD; BSD has shown support where *nix has not.


Podman is available on FreeBSD...


Stable? I know it was in alpha a couple years ago.


Your ignorance is showing. Jails have been supported for a bit over 25 years.


Current docker tooling is so much nicer than whatever I was messing around with in jails 16 years ago.



Hitler didn't have 10,000 nuclear warheads atop hundreds of ICBMs and other delivery platforms. The stakes are a tad bit higher here.


You still looking at small part of the picture. Big part of the picture is confrontation of Western World and allies against China, Russia, Iran. The winning strategy could be to weaken enemy now: strike on Russia military/oil infra, and not wait until they will become stronger and will be way more bold in their moves which could lead to WW3 with much higher chance.


That's what concerns me. The Kremlin knows those missiles are useless without the US giving targeting information. We're delivering the missiles, setting them up, pointing them in the right direction, and then telling them "You push this button to fire it -- we didn't do it, you did."

But hey, I guess I'm an asshole for not wanting my homeland to be directly attacked because of the overt and manifest assistance we are providing to kill Russians in Russia.


I am curious how they are going to achieve the landing part... zero-runway takeoff with rockets has been a thing for 70+ years.


Just a hunch, but they are going after Perplexity first because they are smaller and want the precedent of a win before going after the rest of the big LLM providers?


Ugh... what the heck does this AI discussion have to do with Catholicism? Most people -- and I would put Leo 14th in this group -- don't even know what is in Rerum Novarum, much less the circumstances that led to its publication or how it was intended to be applied. The whole thing could be summed up as "don't cheat, abuse, or take advantage of your employee and laborers" (though the poetry and precision of the original Latin is magnificent in its own right.


Good: the Gripen is a fantastic plane and I'm happy that Saab is making sales of this platform. If it were not for the economic terrorism/influence of the US then Saab would be selling a lot more of these planes to countries who are currently being forced into buying the F-35.

Bad: this is likely to cause an escalation in tensions in the Ukraine-Russia situation.


It is only reasonable that Ukraine also plans for a future without war (as a sovereign state).

And they will need an air force.

And it seems natural that they seek alternatives from buying airplanes from the Moscow state.

And even if they wanted to buy airplanes from the Kremlin, they may very well refuse to sell.


> this is likely to cause an escalation in tensions in the Ukraine-Russia situation.

?

These countries are at full war. The only NBCs the Russians aren't using is their nuclear and biological arsenal. They are using their chemical weapons.


I had not heard that. What chemical weapons are they using?

As for "they are at war, what do you mean 'escalations'" I'm referring to western countries, including the US, giving Ukraine the ability to make deep strikes into Russia that could provoke Russia in declaring officially what has been the de facto case for a while: it's not fighting Ukraine, it's fighting NATO and NATO is striking through the Ukrainians but Russia has not yet struck back at NATO.

Forgive me for hoping that we might be able to find peace and avoid the deaths of hundreds of millions of people by not ratcheting things up in Ukraine more than it already is.


https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2025...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia_and_weapons_of_mass_des...

The "peace" word in this context is not really what it seems like. The "peace" movement in our countries is often of full of at least former Soviet and Russian funding. Essentially tankies. I think you can imagine their goals.


I'm a US military veteran and nobody is paying me to speak one way or another about any of this. I just see the minimization and avoidance of war as preferrable to bullets flying and people dying. Yes, that is happening now in a limited context (Ukraine and Russia) but and I hope that comes to an end before it spills over to a full and formal NATO vs. Russia (and China?) engagement.


What we are handling now is the snowball started by GWB with the Iraq invasion. He basically said that it is fine for superpowers to invade countries with non preferable leaders. (Unless they have nuclear weapons)

The difference in sentiment is basically whether the snowball is too big to stop, or if this is our last chance to stop it.


One-sided avoidance of war can be counterproductive and make everything worse. Hundreds of thousands of people have died in Ukraine since 2022 because the response to the initial invasion in 2014 focused too much on avoiding confrontation, which was taken as a sign of weakness to exploit.

Up until the day of the invasion in February 2022, something as simple as deploying US airborne forces to Kyiv for exercises could have prevented the war. Biden chose to avoid confrontation, and here we are now, in the fourth year of the war.


You are what is commonly known as "a useful idiot".

You're naive and you're helping Russia kill more innocent people every day.


I'll ignore the first point but I have to concede that I'm helping Ukraine kill Russians by virtue of paying taxes to the US Govt which has been supplying billions of dollars of weapons to use against Russians in the war. My concern is that we're going to get paid back in kind with interest and am a little surprised it hasn't happened yet... and am hopeful it can be avoided.


Not only that but Russia is constantly violating NATO airspace, flying drones over our airports, sabotaging things and getting caught for spying. Talk to Russia about escalation.

Check the map in today's update:

https://understandingwar.org/research/russia-ukraine/russian...


Russia has nowhere to escalate, it can only start dropping nukes, but that will piss off China and India. Not because they would be so worried about Ukrainians, but because Russia would degrade nuclear weapons from strategic asset into a tactical weapons on level of Iskander.

And Russian war industry very much stands on Chinese dual use imports. Without them, their capacity to produce drones would be non existent - Shaheds are using parts from China, fiber spools are coming from China....


> Bad: this is likely to cause an escalation in tensions in the Ukraine-Russia situation.

As a Swede I can tell you my country will support Ukraine until victory. Russia can stop the escalation be getting the hell out of Ukraine.
