> It's about separating concerns to allow extensibility of one aspect of the component without having to worry about the other parts of the system. Right, and I don't see the HTML and the CSS as separate concerns when the HTML

I no longer think of myself as a "document writer", and there honestly would not be room in my team for someone who only wanted to touch the HTML and not the CSS or vice versa. I was there for the Zen Garden, and it was great at t

Yeah, Tailwind uses postcss to let you use its utility classes with the normal way of doing abstractions in CSS - but it also promotes using Javascript component frameworks where that makes sense. The utility classes are in themselves great
815.
by rvense 6y ago
Um. The Tailwind compiler produces a plain CSS stylesheet with all the classes you need and none of the ones you don't. You can just dig that out of your build (or wget it from production) and stick it where you normally stick your sty

I think the three levels all have merit. If you don't end up repeating yourself too much, just add the utility classes directly. If you find yourself repeating a bunch of classes together, maybe you can make a semantic class with @appl

> It's not like Tailwind is SAP or something. It's just CSS. You shouldn't need to re-work your entire process around it. No, your designers should already be working to scales for size, colour etc. which you can implement
818.
by rvense 6y ago
Not everything requires making a component. A CSS class can be fine, and I'd always use the least powerful way first. This is how the framework is meant to be used - that's the entire reason for having @apply. https://t

How is it ad hoc? You're creating a class .button, but you're using the Tailwind-specified design system. This is how the framework is meant to be used! Atomic/utility-first CSS doesn't mean that you shouldn't make

I feel exactly the same way, but I do wonder how this gap is going to close. If Microsoft team up with another ARM vendor and make similarly closed-off, proprietary glue sandwiches as a response, where does that leave Linux? I doubt PC-comp

I really wish there wasn't this big distinction between using a computer and programming a computer.

I seriously don't see it. I click around on the WEF site and it's just a bunch of hot air like you'd expect. These aren't lizard men, they're inconsequential bureaucrats.

I think it's just kind of like the economic version of something like "in the future, you will be able to seamlessly communicate with everyone, constantly!" - which is true and can be turned into a really nice, cleanly-lookin

Maybe not permanently, but it wouldn't make more sense if they were just allowed to start again next week. But actually, since the coverage here isn't saying that the industry is being shut down, you're probably right.

If the government takes away your livelihood like this, I think they should help you get back on your feet somehow. I'm very happy that these farms are being closed, though.

I hear hemp is pretty good on all counts, though. But definitely buy less clothes, take better care of them, and make sure to give/sell the good ones you have but don't wear to second hand shops instead of just throwing them away.

Actually, why couldn't you keep issues as text files in a folder in the repo... I mean, you've got your CI stuff and documentation and everything else in there.

If a business lives for a long time, even its "webcrap" might live with it. Honestly I think the investments made into web technology right now are so massive and pervasive that I wouldn't be surprised if we still use somethi

Do you ever think that it's a fundamental limitation of these systems that they aren't good at knowing what they don't know? Like they always give an answer, and their failure modes are so different to ours that that it can b

That's not a joke, a visual object/pattern recognition system was a summer project at MIT in 1966 under Seymour Papert. They didn't get very far. https://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/6125

I see what you mean. I think it depends on the type of code and how you interact with it. A library that requires its consumer to keep track of a bunch of data and pass it in and out at the right times when it could just as well handle inte

Well, if we assume that both are doing the same work, then the explicitly named variables y, foo, and bar of my second example would, in the first example, have to be global variables, or at least things that are defined in the scope of the

Yes! I often see code that where a method sets an instance variable, then calls another method that does some work based on that instance variable, which is then not used until the next time that first caller is used. The instance variable
