It’s high time for regime change in the US.

Hey wait, maybe you are my (our?) mom after all! Sure seems like it anyway. You seem to think you’re old enough to be. Do you just not have any other ways of insulting people, or are you confused about the difference between age and maturit

I support baseline browsers unless it’s not feasible otherwise. Sometimes things just aren’t possible in certain browsers. It’s expensive and difficult to design and implement things that fail gracefully. I’m not actually spiteful towards F

(I am not the app author, just a sympathizer) I didn’t realize spite for users was a good reason for me to not bother with Firefox support in my web apps, thank you for enlightening me

That’s still $100B unaccounted for, and I’m pretty sure Amazon would expect fair treatment if other investors get a bailout. More likely, OpenAI is the one to receive the bailout, likely at the behest of the bigger investors, Amazon include

Hard not to hear the word “bailout” in my head when I see this many billions being tossed around.

Predictably, all the same people who bemoan JS ubiquity feel the need to express their distaste for advances in CSS in this thread. Nobody is actually doing stuff like this in real applications, it’s just a demo, for fun. I get the feeling

I’m a web developer by trade. I read about it. Sorry?

Components are the tool you’re looking for. For the rest there’s CSS variables. Soon we may have @mixin.

You can try to rely on conventions across projects, sure. It doesn’t work well.

by namuol 8mo ago
No. Tailwind is a way of writing css, not a convention. By “your” convention I’m referring to the problems with the cascade, ie naming classes and so on. I’m not saying tailwind is the only other way. There are many ways to write CSS but do

Obfuscate? I can learn tailwind and use it in dozens of projects. I can use tailwind in my project and onboard dozens of developers immediately. I can learn your CSS conventions and use them in exactly one project.

I agree, it’s a choice. So is the opposite. Complaining about other people’s choice of doing things on the web is the choice I’m actually tired of.

by namuol 8mo ago
You can grumble at web developers in general for things like div soup, but the hostility towards tailwind is misplaced. Hashed classes aren’t even tailwind, and the tools that generate them are not the problem either.

The point is not to minimize texture/memory usage. It’s to minimize work for the artist.

The death of a means to an end is the birth of an end itself. When cameras became mainstream, realism in painting went out of fashion, but this was liberating in a way as it made room for many other visual art styles like Impressionism. The

The only question I have is whether the speed it was going was situationally appropriate and whether we’d expect a human to be considered reckless under the same circumstances. 17mph sounds pretty slow but it really depends on context.

Who? Where? I’m blissfully unplugged from this bubble (despite lurking on HN). Show me a usable browser that was “written with AI”. Such claims are likely PR.

> Less than five minutes to read. OMZ is still easier to set up consistently. That’s why we use it. If the concern is the bloat of OMZ then make FMZ - fast my zsh - that is just as quick to set up and doesn’t add “bloat”?

The issue is with font rendering software not properly accounting for the subpixel arrangement of the display. I guess it’s a valid concern from a simple pragmatic perspective as a consumer, but as an enthusiast it’s not strictly a problem

What even was this email? Some kind of promotional spam, I assume, to target senior+ engineers on some mailing list with the hope to flatter them and get them to try out their SaaS?
