I think your comment here is reasonable and you were unfairly downvoted by others missing the deleted context in my original comment. I’ve upvoted you partly on those grounds, and partly to get you back to 1337 :)

EDIT: I was understandably being downvoted for saying that the code could be more readable. On reflection, the sql is good, and it's the Perl-ness that I had a bit of a reaction to. I'll leave my questions here in case people woul

That prefetching is still an issue? I recall it was caused by rabbitmq though? I switched to rq over celery years ago because it was a deal breaker. We have just long running tasks and it didn’t work for us at all. Rq has been great btw.

Yup, that's also why I decided to get good in vim. I was pretty happy in TextMate at the time, but the popularity tide had turned as he was working on TextMate2. The writing appeared to be on the wall, so I learnt vim properly. Sublime

Has anyone tried Turing Tumble? Would you recommend it? Thinking about getting it for an upcoming bday for one of my kids.

@property is useful when updating legacy code, but I agree, there’s not much calling for it. @cachedproperty has a lot more utility.

Well, you could put the types on these days. But also, there’s nothing stopping the code from being much clearer about its intention than this weirdly contrived example (I have a lot of code and most the function names are pretty unique). A

Amiga just felt so fun to explore. There was a sort of playfulness to it, but actually it was still this amazing creative machine.

IPython (terminal repl) with autoreload has been God mode for me for about 10 years now. No other environment even comes close when it comes to exploring data, sketching out code and hacking towards a solution. And once you get most of the

Neovim has moved in this direction too. There’s a lot of potential there. I hacked up a plug-in yesterday to let me run tree sitter queries over my codebase. I’d upgraded a dependency and some patterns were no longer valid so I was able to

Is this when using fullscreen apps / spaces? I exist entirely between iterm and chrome, so I use iterms non-native fullscreen so that it’s fast to switch otherwise the OS lag is unbearable.

It’s not really the same thing though, right? It doesn’t handle instants vs zonedtimes etc. Even the simplest of future cases is handled poorly by these other libraries. If you want to say that something happens on a certain date in the fut

I’ve been keeping an eye on it myself. The implementation in Chrome looks pretty complete already, which is promising. I don’t quite get the point of the other libraries like moment etc. They have a bunch of convenience stuff, but unless yo

Question: will the new AWS offerings eventually allow us to escape from mobile providers altogether? (I haven’t looked into it and even if I do I won’t understand the details well enough)

I’d recommend making your point without resorting to name calling.

Unless I’m misremembering, the login to their general system was done by never sending the password over the wire. Instead they used js to do some sort of hashing type system locally. But during the heartbleed attack when their systems were

In our house it was like; they’re launching the Webb! Do you think they’re gutted about working Christmas? No, I think they’re enjoying the best Christmas present ever. Congratulations to all involved.

Yup. The semantics are great for joins. Two missing bits of data do not make a found.

I just feel like nothing is going to convey the excitement we got from BBSs in the early 90s. We used to cycle over to this guys house (he had TWO phone lines!) on our BMXs and hand over $10 for some connectivity.

That’s not quite it. Say you’re balancing a bunch of colours where it’s say mostly black, but you need to change to green in some case and red in others. In css this is easy because you can say “for this situation I want this colour”. And y

And even that is less magic than it sounds. Unless it’s changed in v3, there’s just a regex matching stuff that could be a class name and building a rule for it. /[^<>"'`\s]*[^<>"'`\s:]/g

I’m…not sure how I missed that, because I did look for it. Thanks for the heads up!

Not to mention, if your css isn’t scoped (and let’s face it, this is one thing traditional css sucks at) you just never quite know what rule some developer has put in somewhere at what else it effects.

I think that’s a little uncharitable. One thing to consider is that being a bit more terse in tailwind is good because you effectively end up with media queries, dark mode, hover states etc all placed together.
627.
by aidos 5y ago
Because inline styles aren’t flexible enough to be used for everything, so you need to go out to external css eventually. With tailwind you can do “block md:flex hover:font-bold” and you’ve covered pseudo class cases and media queries very

Can you explain what you mean by this? You’re still applying css to html elements, it’s nothing different, right?

by aidos 5y ago
Oh, nice, I think that’s a new 3.0 thing, not a JIT thing.

by aidos 5y ago
Tailwind is global utility classes too. There’s no runtime aspect. It’s literally just css classes. The nicest thing is that all your variations exist, so you can do things like hover:font-bold. So you can see the rules immediately like wit
