I've learned that Tailwind is not really a framework so much as it is a philosophy. Most Tailwind classes are just single property wrappers. For example, "flex" is just "display: flex", "bg-dark-400" is ju

Another hole I used to put myself in is I would often copy and paste stack traces verbatim, and of course most of a stack trace is just filepaths unique to your user account and of course nobody has posted similar stack traces like that bec

All technical limitations are artificial barriers enforced by humans. Software and hardware doesn't just fall out of the sky.

Is it any different from Linux users pushing software that depends on Linux syscalls to function and scoffing at Microsoft's attempts to achieve platform parity with WSL? I can't tell you how many times I've heard someone in

Sure, I'm not arguing that it's impossible to get bitten by bat, but you'd have to be extremely unlikely to get bitten by one in your sleep, unless you sleep standing up and a bat flies straight into you somehow.

I suppose it is possible, but is it really likely that you'll get bitten by a bat who draws blood and not wake up to the pain of such a bite? Is it likely you'll even get bitten by a bat at all? I thought you have to really fuck w

Bingo. And, the selling price of the building increased over time with basically zero cost to the owner. Sure they paid for maintenance and improvements, but they don't need to in order to benefit from localization-based appreciation.

Why not just work for big tech directly if your ultimate end goal is to have your work be purchased by big tech? It's a lot more stable and you'll probably make more money.

The problem is that this does not model the situation accurately; there is no known malware available for download on the App Store to my knowledge. Any apps that actually do get past review unfairly (by using private APIs or otherwise) are

Alternatively, investing in renewable energy is not a penalty at all. Whoever wins this technological race is eventually going to list every other country as a customer, because there will be no other choice when oil runs out. Behind the mo

Does anyone else just…not care? Files is a system app like Windows Explorer. It’s not meant to “compete” with anything. Does anyone think Control Panel competes with Android’s Settings app? iCloud Drive is a cloud storage competitor that

I think the problem then becomes what message gets what tag and you have to bikeshed over if smaller or larger numbers mean bad/urgent messages. It's like the same problem of port allocation that IANA was created to solve. Do we r

No, because new malware / legitimate apps are third party content. It's like how you can't sue Facebook or Twitter for someone using their platforms to spread illegal content or plan violence. What usually helps in these case

Eh, to claim the military is spending efficiently at this point is to claim that there is no money wasted anywhere within the DoD, which frankly is not only an unpopular position but I don't think you yourself even believe it to be the

I know that it says the values prior to 1913 were estimated, but how can it be possible for the dollar to have any purchasing power before the country even existed? Shouldn't it be a constant 0 until at least 1776?

Which is why it's important to compel everyone that can get the vaccine to do so, so that we can protect the minority of people who have legitimate reasons for not being vaccinated and will always be in danger of being exposed to the v
