I am so confused. Tailwind UI is a set of prebuilt components for building applications. And catalyst is built from those but is also a "template" which is also an "application UI Kit" which is what I thought Tailwind U

Not necessarily. Think of life in poor neighborhoods today. People can be competitive over limited resources or status within their world of poverty. And the constant threat of violence ("prepared for war") can even exacerbate

This is true, but htmx is targeting developer experience and simplicity, not solving <noscript> user case. For this perspective "interactive websites without any JS" is accurate.

Is it possible to capture changes in git somehow? If not what did you do?

> Every alternative to the big frameworks (looking at you htmlx) feel like minor syntaxic sugar for jQuery Have you used htmx? Since it doesn't solve the same problem jquery did (UX for client side JS), the accusation is misplaced.

To clarify, you mean treat sqrt(5) as a symbolic constant, and then expand out repeated multiplications of "a + sqrt(5)*b" to arrive at an expression with addition and multplications involving powers of a, b, and sqrt(5)?

It may be hard to define, and sometimes you'll get tricked, but it doesn't make it less real. You know it when you see it. Everyone does.

I believe in both cases the Turing completeness is accidental, and in the case of CSS a security concern. (In the case of TS, see https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/14833 ) If anyone has more histo

Images of violence. Also the phrase "you think this image is acceptable to show to young kids" subtly alters my position in a disingenuous and (I think) intentional way. My position is not that you should "show young kids g

The difference is that I rate the amount of "hurt" to the viewers as essentially zero in this case, and I think the concern is misplaced pearl-clutching.

The DALL-E images are surprisingly good, especially compared with my own experiments. Is this due to curation on your part, or some other technique?

I already do.

100%, and not just as devil's advocate. Let the punishment fit the crime. My sympathies are entirely on the side of the game's author. It's just an obscene image -- the "collateral damage" in this case is perfect

Sigh. Yes, I am aware of the technicalities you describe. I thought my point was clear without my needing to be pedantically accurate. In many languages (even in JS!) you can just map a function point-free, rather than having to introduce

by jonahx 3y ago
Imo using "good variable names" in cases where that variable is effectively functioning as nothing more than a syntactically necessary placeholder for a point-free phrase is a clear (if well-intentioned) mistake. It makes the cod

Aesthetically, yes, I agree (subjectively) that "_1" is uglier than "|u|". However, saying that the latter is "more readable" lacks foundation imo... both are conventions, both are simple to understand, and you

This won't look as good when you include all the boilerplate which defines those methods, and which needs to be repeated or otherwise included for every "value" type. You don't have to worry about this when they are pur

No more often than the names of the sub-functions themselves becoming inaccurate ime. At some point the system does depend on its authors doing the right thing.

I agree this appears to be the intended mental model. But if that is the case, I'd expect all the arguments to be of some type like "Command", which is not the case here. These expected objects have types like RGBColor or Cu
