In spite of the confidence you're stating this with, it sounds like a serious over-simplification of a very complex dynamic.

>Much of the world is now at the mercy of the United States Yeah, and the world is going to react. This situation might benefit the US economically in the short run but it sure won't in the long run.

That's not the impression that I (as a Dane) get, far from it. But it just doesn't matter that many people in the US are upset, they are as powerless as we are in Europe.

I am honestly trying to figure out what you are arguing here. GGP didn't say something like "This is what everyone in England sounds like: ..."

In my experience, after now something like 5 years of using Tailwind in projects large and small, it scales reasonably well. You just do what the authors suggest: encapsulate styling in components instead of CSS classes. Now, that isn'

How so? That doesn't seem true to me at all.

Oh come on, are you seriously being blasé about this? What could ever impress you?

The how should be, but the why might not be. I think comments should explain choices, especially ones that I am likely to question when returning to the code later.

Contrived perhaps, but it was an example that was supposed to demonstrate the benefits to those long names. In my opinion, it did the opposite.

Like GP, I feel that I might be imagining imagination here, but I really don't follow what this is supposed to reveal. >Would you call the replica "I"? The two would start out identical and immediately start to diverge lik

I wish that the Crank library ( https://crank.js.org/ ) would get more attention. It takes everything in the exact opposite direction, which in my opinion is much more promising. But alas, it just doesn't seem to be catc

I had a similar insight (blog post: [link redacted]). In a very unscientific way, I would say that the LLM is not the whole brain, it's part of it and we are still in the process of simulating other parts. But it does seem to me like w

Other companies don't say EEE (MS also doesn't anymore, as far as I know), but that doesn't mean they are any better. In fact, I would say that Apple is far more guilty of doing this than MS is these days. But even so, what i
