For one, Tailwind has a minimal learning curve if you already know CSS. That's a huge thing going for it. Secondly, UI frameworks are more suitable for full-blown applications, whereas Tailwind can be used for anything—applications, Wo

It depends on the state, but a pocket of blue in rural/exurban areas often indicates lower crime, better public services, etc.—more educated people and the accompanying externalities. Driving to the next county over doesn’t solve the p

It's not a UFO. If you don't know what something is, and equipment/sensors are a possible explanation, it makes more sense to say "UAP" (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) rather than "UFO". This is not pedant

1. Are you suggesting eyewitness testimony is reliable? If this is your position, then why shouldn't we take ghosts and supposed religious phenomena seriously? 2. Your supposed "experts" are relying on equipment they do not u

Herman Miller Mirra. Compared to the Aeron, it is stiffer and has better back support for sitting upright. It makes you feel "locked in". Great for work.

I was looking for one of these, but I could only find Win31 common dialogs in third-party (non-Microsoft) applications. Well done.

Don't forget applications that still use a forked version of the Windows 3.1 common dialog. To be fair, the last consistent Windows UI was probably Windows 3.1. In hindsight, it looks is incredibly cohesive and functional. Swap out the

I looked on MacPorts for some of the software I use, but none of it is not available there. Does it only have packages for open-source, command line applications? If so, it's not going to compete with Homebrew.

I would argue it started around 2013 or 2014, but we've seen more or less the same thing. I haven't watched TV in a few years, so maybe it's gotten worse. One thing I always thought was interesting; Apple commercials, which g

It’s a valid observation. Don’t you think it’s a bit cynical and calculated to include “diversity” on every single advertising graphic?

In The Awk Programming Language (the original book), the authors create a fully fledged database in Awk. I agree, it's impressive, but probably not the ideal use case. Your experience sounds similar to mine. Generally, my scripts are a

While I agree that Awk is cool, I suspect most *nix folks over a certain age already know it well. I use it regularly to munge input data. Its limitations force you to solve problems in a creative way, and it can be a good programming exerc

Yes, but the smaller M1 devices have been out for a while ago, and the iMac is the de facto Apple workstation. I don't think it's too unreasonable to expect some iterative improvement 5 months later. It seems like a half-baked r

What about PHP or Java has anything to do with not "programming at a more advanced level"? These are general-purpose programming languages. Due to their design, some patterns/paradigms might seem more natural to implement, bu

Tailwind is not "basically" inline styles. Tailwind and other functional frameworks use classes for abstraction, which unlocks media queries, pseudo selectors, and many other CSS features. Plus Tailwind's build system generat
