Except, we have known for centuries that psylocibe is benign. The Nahua people in Mexico's Central Valley people have been using them for ceremonial purposes for centuries with no addictive side effects ever reported; its use even bein

Not necessarily. Once you are used to your editor opening in a few milliseconds, everything else feels like ages. I would argue the opposite: we have gotten used to slow software being the norm.

However, not being able to explore such feelings ends up making you an unsympathetic person, as you cannot bare these feelings with others. Another argument is that you are denying yourself of the experience of being human. These feelings e

I feel that a sign of being a good programmer is recognizing you are not a good programmer. Then again, this is not me, but Socrates speaking.

Am I the only one that thinks this is a huge waste of resources? 1. There are simpler tools that solve this [0]. 2. 50 lines of code are manageable even for inexperienced devs which you are replacing for a non-deterministic complexity behem

However, the poster mentions parallelism in conjunction with floating point arithmetic, not parallelism by itself.

Is it me, or a Git repository, (either externally hosted or self-hosted) sounds like could work as a memex? You have a shared folder backed by version control. You have projects which can serve as memex projects, and issues which you can ed

This is why TDD is not good when starting from scratch. Your abstractions might change in a way that they break your tests in a major way, and not only do you end up re-writing a great part of your code but also of your test set.

Tangentially related, but it got me thinking. Does this mean that Copilot and friends are always writing old code?

Yep, I have ended up doing the same with Tailwind, because in the end you end up with unmanageable inline styles. I would recommend you to try Open Props [0], which you can use with Tailwind CSS, and see how what we all really crave is a go

Ahhh ok, that sounds much more logical. I got the wrong impression :)

by kykeonaut 3y ago
I do think that the real value of Tailwind comes from the utility classes, rather than css-in-html paradigm. You could achieve the same, for example, with Pollen.css [0] or Open Props [1]. [0] https://github.com/heybokeh&#x2

HTML and CSS are indeed a hot mess in some respects. However, Tailwind is definitely not the solution, as it is the same as adding a style attribute to each html tag and writing the style in the html. What is valuable about Tailwind imho is

Which is no different from creating a styles.css file, writing your classes there, and importing it into your html...

Yeah, I am versed in the COBOL world as much as the next guy (so not much at all), but I would sleep better knowing that the financial systems are safe from yet one more end-of-the-world crisis.

Some OSs like OpenBSD have already implemented a 64-bit timestamp to account for this [0]. I am not sure about Linux. I would think that this is a problem that would greatly affect older systems (like all the banks' mainframes... yikes

Another downside of these alternatives is that they are not decentralized either. USDT and USDC are controlled by a single entity each. The top 0.01% of Bitcoin holders own 27% of all the Bitcoin [0], and even worse, the top 0.1% of Bitcoin

Agreed. Although progressive politicians, or as I like to call them, the right-light, do contribute their fair share of problems.

Downgrading from a AAA rating to a AA+ rating sounds like the least advantageous from a game theory perspective as well. I wish politicians weren't so short-sided.
