Agreed, that does make a lot of sense.

Not to get too pedantic, but California does have a massive agriculture industry. UC Davis is one of the best schools in the field. It’s not much of a stretch at all for agtech businesses to grow and thrive here, locally. I guess you could

Most of us on HN probably observe some combination of the following. * Closed ecosystem. Can't share with clients on Windows. Pass. * Looks like an outdated version of FigJam. Just use FigJam. * Oh yay, back to illegible handwriting ev

Not much. Tailwind's @apply just lets you apply Tailwind design tokens to CSS classes. It's useful for keeping designs looking consistent if you're already heavily invested in Tailwind. This is probably not much of an advanta

That doesn't make any sense. Your classes in your project are not part of the CSS standard either, by your definition. Tailwind gives you CSS classes that you can use. Yes, you do need to learn them. But that doesn't mean it isn&#

That was back when XML was supposed to take over the world. We were going to style the same semantic content for print and web with CSS and/or XSLT. XHTML was the next big thing. Every web page was actually just a page. We're not

esbuild shines even brighter when you do need to customize. The API is outstanding. Docs are excellent. I've been able to do most things myself, without hunting for plugins and examples.

Fully agreed. I would add that esbuild has set the bar very high for documentation and configuration. I come away very impressed every time I need to touch esbuild, which is not usually my expectation when it comes to the JS build-and-bundl

I had a lot of technical problems with Mavericks. The first installation failed. The WiFi never worked correctly, with frequent slow-downs and drops that didn’t affect any other devices (including older Macs). This was a commonly reported p

I've already returned from the other side of my breakup with the Mac. Full cycle. From 2002 to 2013, I loved OSX. Yes, even Puma. Mavericks was the first release that broke the spell. Already, I could see the downward trajectory of the

The <template> tag really shines when used alongside <slot> and the Shadow DOM. But I really wish there were an HTML-native way to load <template> from separate files, the same way we do with CSS and JS. Not a show-stopper

I’m disgusted to say you could probably make A LOT of money with this idea.

I understand. I have a lot of nostalgia for the Playstation 2. That system occupied a lot of late nights during my college and young professional years. My memories of those games are wrapped up in those tumultuous times. As fond as those m

The Expanse is different. Different premise, rules, and stakes compared to other sci-fi on screen. It’s complex. Easing us into the story could have taken a whole season. Instead, they dumped as much of the setting as possible into those fi

If you’re a JavaScript dev, it’s worth noting that NPM is owned by Microsoft. The mistrust angle is real, but I think it’s moot when specifically talking .NET vs. JS.

If we're being really honest, I switch to the next thing because it's fun. The more official reason to move to the next thing is because browsers are a moving target. Browsers are constantly releasing new capabilities. And the ove

He’s the one who told me I was “unimaginative” and to “give my head a shake”. I just responded in kind. Don’t blame me for being a better asshole when he initiated that tone. My contribution to civility here was to just stop responding.

Swim lessons? Get out of here. Church? I did imagine that. Try reading. And anyway, schooled kids do all of those things as well. Where's the advantage? There's a reason I don't consider those activities when talking about sc

Tell us where homeschooled kids get their socialization. Church? That's a bit like the pot calling the kettle black when it comes to social distortion. Homeschooled peer groups? There's no way that's a broader population than

It's much broader than none.

I’m with you. Gnome feels like the least janky Linux DE to me. Contrary to the author, I see a lot of the design decisions in Gnome as careful and deliberate. They want the OS to disappear in service of whatever app you have in front of you

That sounds kinda like the Mafia or Yakuza. Take the fall, do time, protect the organization, get respect, get promoted. Many people would gladly do a few years in minimum security prison in exchange for million dollar salaries, etc. While

You may be living in a bubble. That’s a normal (and still very good) salary for devs working in quieter metro areas. I left the Bay Area five years ago. My salary is now $100k, a substantial pay cut from my SF years. But quality of life is

Serious personal tragedy can compress the middle phase into a very short period of time. Comedy is born where hope dies. Devastating disease or injury, a long jail sentence, a ruinous lawsuit, living through a war, etc. Most of the quick ro

With all of its wealth and demand, the Bay Area should look like London or Tokyo or New York. Instead it looks like Tracy. It’s not falling apart, but neither is it growing up. It’s stagnant.

Tetris. Twice per day. When I get into a good Tetris routine, my mind will continue to play even when I'm not in front of the screen. There's just this constant background game playing in my head. This might sound distracting, but

These programs ran rampantly for years under Obama. He only put restrictions in place half-way through his second term because of public pressure after Ferguson. It’s pretty disingenuous to try to pin this on Trump. (And I’m no fan of Trump

Yes, you can use Tailwind utility classes within your own CSS files. The Tailwind syntax for creating custom classes is @apply. Here's how they recommend approaching the problem. https://tailwindcss.com/docs/extrac
