If there's a criticism here, it's that they don't mention k8s right up front. It's completely opaque what this tool is. "Orchestration" can mean literally anything. The web page presents ax as a typical develop

Pros and cons. The sloppy approach actually works well for Claude because its memory retrieval is more reliable than AGENTS.md style instructions.

It's kinda true. I use the terminal approach too, but I wouldn't trust every type of user with this long of a leash. There's a place for instituting systems that share context, manage authentication, and is permissions-aware.

While we’re asking rhetorical questions, why is China’s cultural development behind tiny, poor European countries?

History, philosophy, literature, journalism, art, education. The list goes on.

What do you mean the point of AI? The point of AI is to do whatever I tell it to do. Its lack of “quality” (always invoked in a metaphysical sense) isn’t a problem for most of its uses. It can automate, research, build boilerplate, and test

Agreed, but on other dimensions China is still 150 years behind the West. It’s important to keep this progress in perspective.

Except HTML is already a presentational markup language. People lose track of this. Consider: MathML has a presentational schema and a content schema. The whole point of presentational MathML is the intermingling of concerns. If you want in

This seems like a radical, unsupported conclusion to draw from a single frontend architecture decision. Maybe there's an overwhelmingly positive case to be made for high-abstraction CSS with hidden structures. Outside those few select

The CSS Zen Garden worked because everyone was using a single markup file. In real life, it doesn't really work. Instead of thinking of separation of concerns as a religious principle, think about what benefits it actually yields in th

Sure. Which one? If it’s CPI just say CPI.

Which metric of inflation are you adjusting it to? And which assumptions are built into the goods and services measured, as well as their respective weights, of that index?

Hear, hear.

by vehemenz 2mo ago
Showing the CPI next to these price increases wouldn’t hurt. If anything, it shows the problem with a single measure of inflation.

I’m not sure what to tell you. With only a few exceptions, the shorthand follows a very predictable pattern if you already know the property names. IDE completions help too.

I don't really get this argument. 90% of Tailwind is shorthand for existing CSS properties. There's really not much to learn if you already know CSS.

What do you mean by vanilla CSS? I can't be the only one who has no idea what this means. Do you mean high-abstraction classes that are bound to the DOM arbitrarily, and are difficult to change later? We've had 25+ years to see ho

Do you have an argument, or are you coasting on the "trust me bro" vibes of the parent?

by vehemenz 2mo ago
These are the same anti-Tailwind arguments that have been circulating forever. If you want to build a case against Tailwind that's actually compelling, you should start by understanding what it is first. Only then can you compare it to

AI and Tailwind-based template systems sort of stole Tailwind's lunch, so I'm glad there was light at the end of the tunnel for Adam and co.

> Writing is thinking. This way of phrasing it is needlessly confusing. Writing is a kind of thinking--one of many--but it's not equivalent to thinking. Dialectical thinking, for example, produces similar results.

It's a neat approach for the current problem of untracked dotfile accumulation. The real problem is that the entire reason to use git at this point is because of the conventions established around it. There are better VCSes and methods

If we sample from Zitron’s claims, a lot of them are wrong. Probably most of them. I think his contribution to the discourse is the bigger picture. These companies are going into potentially economy-wrecking debt over a speculative future t

I can’t speak for mobile, but the desktop/web product has been a disaster for years. When Spotify went full Electron a few years back, a bunch of standard macOS keyboard shortcuts stopped working. These issues were on their “support” f
