I'm not. I'm saying that the numbers OP stated were misleading. They refer to people with a high income - surgeons, laywers, or engineers -, but not the ultra rich, which don't have a high income in the first place, or it&#

by 9dev 5mo ago
This claim is often repeated but simply misleading. Taxable income is only a tiny fraction of the wealth of ultra rich folks - many even take symbolic wages, because their real compensation happens in stock, which they can use to lend effec

I don't think I did; what you wrote just doesn't really address the problem. Yes, in a few industrial countries, raw materials that can be easily separated will be recycled. But that just isn't the real problem, when all the

Around 9–14% of plastics are recycled worldwide, and almost none of electronics or other products that would have to be disassembled first. I don’t know where "here" is for you, but even a country like Germany only manages to recy

That isn't just CSS modules, then, but additional tooling on top.

Curious how on every post about Malta, new accounts show up and post pro-Malta comments…

Funny how some people here mistake criticism for propaganda...

Respectfully, in the best case you don't really know what you are talking about. These three cities certainly cannot be categorised as tax havens in any sense of the word, and the local legislation is objectively different - as evide

They don't, really. The only thing they solve is side effects, but you'll still want shared conventions across your modules.

by 9dev 5mo ago
Again, this isn't really about difficulty—you can solve problems of arbitrary complexity by establishing a process, guidelines, rules, and documentation. But unless your goal is maximising the number of meetings you need to communicate

Nothing is recycled properly. Recycling was a story told to ease consumers minds so they keep on consuming. The stuff you throw away ends up on a landfill, in the sea, or on a ship to someplace else where it gets burned and then buried. Sen

That is only the case for sites that include the entire, unpruned Tailwind Stylesheet with all utility classes. That’s a choice…

Premature optimisation doesn’t even fully express how absolutely ridiculously futile it is to try and make your website faster by having fewer CSS selectors. It’s like my grandparents worrying about immediately switching off their LED ceili

Sure it's possible, but is it possible for everyone on your team? Including the new hire, the interns, or the now-vibecoding managers? Sooner or later it deteriorates.

> This is what CSS classes were made for. That brings with it the problem of naming a thousand things in a consistent way that everyone on your team needs to understand and remember, otherwise you end up with tons of duplicated classes
439.
by 9dev 5mo ago
What exactly has changed about Tailwind in, like, years? There are a few more properties for new CSS features, a few convenience features (like size-x instead of w-x h-x for the same values of x), but other than that? If you've grown a

You seem to have an axe to grind, but certainly not with me. Being a disruptive technology doesn't say anything about whether it's a constructive or destructive one, but you're going to have a hard time arguing LLMs did n

That isn't accurate either. The Victorians definitely had a fear of train travel for a few reasons. The point I was making though is that most technologies humans ever introduced triggered both enthusiasm and scepticism, especially if

by 9dev 5mo ago
Actually- absolutely! Initially, people were really afraid of trains, fearing they wouldn’t be able to breathe at those speeds. It took a lot of convincing to establish trust in the technology.
443.
by 9dev 5mo ago
If you want to draw that line of argument - it's more like horse riders being convinced to give up their horses in favour of trains: You're travelling faster, don't have to navigate yourself, or think about every boulder on t

It's not. But the choice isn't "use cloud AI from a data center" vs. "do not use AI." Way too much money has been sunk into the technology, and it is far too seductive to ignore, so AI is here to stay. So the

There sure are thousands involved, but I’m confident a lot of the destruction we see wouldn’t be possible without the savage in chief and the lowering of standards he brought. This man is a political black swan. Things that used to be unthi

That’s still orders of magnitude less efficient, and also not how most people use AI, or probably will use AI.

Just like people would drive their car as little as possible out of concern for the environment..?

Stop using this word so lightheartedly. You have no clue what you are talking about, and ridicule millions of people who have suffered through decades of oppression.

It would be awful if running models locally became the primary way of using LLMs. On dedicated servers sharing GPUs across requests, energy usage and environmental impact is way lower overall than if everyone and their mother suddenly needs

The lovely irony of a bleeding edge AI company being afflicted by the most mundane problem of all software engineering—the goldfish attention span of human coders.
