Looks sexy. But can someone ELI5 why I'd use Tailwind over e.g. a Bootstrap theme? Not trying to be snarky - genuinely trying to understand the advantages.
I must say, seeing this makes me feel a little less embarrassed from my own expired SSL facepalms
Sure, but then you lose the self-driving illusion, which is a big part of what's being sold. By all means have that as a backup mode if it can't phone home. But trained remote operators will not only preserve the fiction, but they'll be much more effective and they'll be the source of a lot of good feedback for the dev teams.

Because there is expressed client needs and real needs. They say they care about this cosmetic thing now so it better be fixed. However you well know that if you don't get this other thing fixed soon internal politics at the client will mean they throw you out. Thus you fix the thing they demand be fixed now (it may only take a few minutes), but you ensure the other things are fixed in the next release even though the client doesn't know they care yet.
Yeah, I was never amazing, but I played a decent amount of Brood War back in the day. So I had build orders, I knew of the importance of making workers and staying broke and expanding early.

We had my ex-wife's brother living with us for a while and he wanted to play StarCraft. I was like, "Sure, we can play 2v2 against the computer until you're comfortable". He was like "Nah, I've played Age of Empires, I know how RTS works, let's play 1v1." I tried to tell him, "StarCraft is fast". He insisted. So we played.

I built workers, sent a scout across the map, found his base. He was hoarding mineral until he could afford a barracks. I was pumping out workers. I built a secondary base in his expansion area, a barracks and a factory and staged a bunch of siege tanks along his opening, then drop-shipped several marines, firebats, and medics behind his mineral line.

He had just started building his second barracks. He sent his troops to try and handle the situation, then I pushed my siege tanks in from the other side and ruined his barracks.

Quite the opposite. It's a nice set of CSS variables. It still relies on much more CSS knowledge than a framework like Bootstrap.

CSS frameworks are great because there is a flavor that should fit just about anyone.

There is absolutely no way that a more abstracted piece of software is faster than a less abstracted piece of software, unless there is some defect in the latter. Even the hypothetical equal performance is more like a holy grail (though I have had professors swear to me that they have seen it reached in isolated circumstances, so maybe a little less hypothetical than that).
The only true answer is “TBD”. By all indicators the coronavirus has the potential to have a huge impact on people’s lives and the ability for markets to function, but it’s not yet clear how much of that potential will become reality.

You don't have "democratic choice" for "how to better improve effectiveness of racial segregation", or how to better "discipline unruly women"... we know that some things like discrimination and violence are BAD, so we've written into law that they are not allowed.

In all the civilized world we've taken certain really BAD options off-the-political-democratic-choice menu, because we don't want them to even be considered!

Maybe we can do the same with things that are are really bad for the environment, like not having eco-externalities priced into things! This can be done without killing democracy as a whole. You cut a finger to save the whole organism! Maybe we should start seeing the environment as an extension of our bodies and treat violence against it similarly to how we treat physical violence - take it off the f menu!

Not doing this would only make things worse and, yeah, sooner or later some "(pseudo)eco-fascist" group would spring up and find groups to blame (for the f-up resulting from people not acting because they couldn't find a democratically-acceptable solution) and manage to sell hate well enough to get in power. And at that point everyone will be double-screwed: you'll have wrecked environment + "eco"-fascists!
Oracle Cloud is apparently not that bad, but it has no mindshare.

They hire from Oracle because Oracle is really, really good at selling to the 'enterprise' i.e. the sorts of non-tech firms where non-tech executives make tech spending decisions. They often expect to be lavished with attention and sometimes perks (see Jackson Hole discussions above) in order to agree to a platform buy. Oracle's skill at selling into that environment is pretty legendary.
> It's really nice, but is there something this pretty for bootstrap?

I've always liked the Bootstrap 4 CodeBase theme ($28): https://demo.pixelcave.com/codebase/be_pages_dashboard.php

It's not the same exact look of course, but it has dozens of pages, widgets and components that look clean. It's all well formed code too with ES6 JS, Webpack, etc..
My point is that the cost of the cheapest got lower, due to industrialisation & globalisation, rather than a shift in habits as people started to think 'actually sod this expensive stuff that lasts a life time, gimme cheap & disposable'.

I'm projecting the same level of likelihood (not certainty) as one of the experts in coronaviruses (not just general expert in epidemiology)

Third of third of common colds are caused by coronaviruses and they they show clear seasonal pattern (SARS don't because it's mostly human-animal transmitted). You can't say for certain that it's the case for this virus but it's very likely.

Also as an Asian you need to know in my opinion Asians in China tend to be more individualistic then europeans. It's more of a I don't give a shit attitude you do my thing and I do yours. They are thinking: "Don't waste my time with some ideological individual rights garbage I'm to individualistic to care for such things."

People are rude in China and it's largely because they don't give a shit about you and are individualistic.

Another way to put it is that an individual Asian won't fight for individual rights because he's too individualistic to care about community rights or government.

It coincidentally is why in my mind you see a sort of collective phenomenon in China. Everyone acting to benefit themselves collectively benefit each other and leave a lot of room for a central government to take control because activism is a form or caring for something other than yourself.

You'll also note that corruption is rampant in China which is literally the ultimate form of individualism where you harm society to benefit yourself.

> Because you, as a developer, are clueless regarding business needs

Then that's the problem we should fix. Instead of creating an extra database field to capture somebody's incorrect opinion, the people who understand priority should be helping developers know enough to have useful opinions.
It uses whatever the system webview is. So on Windows that is IE, on Mac it’s WKWebView, not sure about Linux.

It’s a trade off: it’s much more lightweight but loses cross platform consistency. For some that might be absolutely fine, for others it may not.
> Air compression is not cheap, energetically. Chilling is also energetically expensive. You'll need to do both.

Not exactly.

The idea is that you don't just compress air - and let the heated compressed air cool to the atmosphere in order to then expand it so it would cool some more, and then just release whatever's left back to the atmosphere. No, you use those leftovers to cool the incoming air - so you need to compress air spending less energy - and you also get the expanding air to help you to compress incoming air.

The principal point where you have non-reversibility is that extra cooling - making compressed cold air to do the work - which you need to reach necessary temperature. And you only need that temperature to separate gases; after that you can use the cold products to help with compression.

So - without colorful metaphors - I'd like to figure out how much energy will you need.

I see the approach of SES with flue gases. I'm not sure how it will look like with regular air.
I think you are right except when you say that the HTML/CSS/JS is served from node. The website says it is not served from node which makes it lighter than alternatives.

Developing an app requires node, but it will not be needed at runtime if I get this right.
Original Antigenic Sin
I have worked in a development team that had both priority and severity. The main difficulty I encountered was that people would silently factor one into the other.

Some would factor severity into priority (This is a crashing-type bug, so we should prioritize it), or priority into severity (This bug only causes minor harm, so it's not a high priority for us). But this was done silently and unconsciously, and different people had different directions for how they would do it. Due to this experience, I think one metric is best.
Makes total sense and my team does this as well. I think calling the value completely perpendicular to fix priority is hyperbolic. Fix priority should be some combination of severity, frequency, effort and stakeholder desire.
Well, one can think of, say, natural numbers as a mystical "system of symbols" but I find them extremely close to the real world when I count change in my pocket.

>I think that by the end of whatever _that_ is, China comes out on top from a game theory perspective.

The trade war has already been causing manufacturers to consider the wisdom of their supply chain strategies. China is currently an export driven economy trying to transition to a domestic consumption led economy but hasn't done so yet. Anything that leads manufacturers to put more of their capacity near their large markets in Europe and the US is very bad strategically for China right now.

This is a disaster for China if it causes a manufacturing shift out of China before they have made a consumer transition.
New patented invention stabilizes, rotates satellites
I think the issue here is that "Severity", as used here, isn't a good label. It sounds like they're mapping the kind of effect the bug has on the system to "Severity" values. E.g, a crash and hang maps to Severity "critical" and typos map to "minor".

The problem is that "Severity" is being used for something that doesn't really match its intuitive meaning.

Maybe call the field "kind of impact" (or something similar) and have enumerated values or tags like "crash", "hang", "typo", etc. Now the field is intuitive and you don't need to retrain (or write blog posts) to get people to understand your new meaning for the word "severity".

I've been reading awful takes like this since I started writing software.

"PHP is an awful language, superior developers write in Perl."

"Rails is bloated and slow, making it unfit for any real work."

"True developers don't rely on frameworks, writing all your own code is the only way to be performant."

If you wanna handicap yourself, be my guest.

I've written three or so projects in TailwindCSS, and it lets me create responsive designs quickly. It gives me a very sane set of defaults to build off of. And most importantly, it helps me get a product to production faster than writing raw CSS.
Truthfully though, it would be an international incident with lots of press coverage if someone from a western country was killed at the US border.

The more insidious stuff to my mind is anything that can be made to look fuzzy or complicated.

The populace gets divided on tiny/minute details and speculation, even _if_ they discuss things, which is not a given when it's something that can be made to look unclear or contested.

It's true that you have no rights as a non-US citizen at the US border, you can be detained for any reason on entry; so ask yourself: Would the media be interested in the fact you got detained for 9hrs? Even if you were abused in custody? (and not provably so).

I think that's unlikely, but that's a big deal to most people.
Again, probably depends on which aspects of his treatment you're referring to.

The original quote spoke of "twice been stripped naked and searched, eleven times been handcuffed, and five times been locked up in different holding cells" - which is unpleasant treatment, but probably not hugely different from the treatment of many prisoners, fairly regularly, within our dehumanising criminal justice system. And I don't think it would constitute torture, per your definition.

That said, as another commenter added, he's apparently been in solitary confinement [for up to 23 hours a day[0] ] in a high category prison for a year. This sounds pretty awful, and much closer to a definition of "torture". That said, it's hard to know: maybe prisoners of his nature are routinely interned in Belmarsh? And maybe being in your cell for 23 hours a day is routine for prisoners in Belmarsh?

Would be interesting to know why it's taken a year for his case to be heard, though.

Disagree. Dumb is doing the same thing over and over again and creating new tooling to do the same thing over and over but with added dependencies and frameworks. The fundamentals of web development have barely changed but the flavor of the month way of doing the same thing is constant.
As a child, I lived with my family for a few years on a traditional narrowboat [1]. These are 6'10" across or less (the walls slope in a little inside) down a length of between 20 and 70 foot, or 68 foot in our case.

Living in a small, narrow space is actually surprisingly easy. There were 4 of us, and whilst it was difficult at times, most of the pressures were about not being hooked up to infrastructure like running water, sewage and electricity.

Such spaces force a sense of minimalism that I think we've lost in the modern World. The space many of us have is very luxurious in many ways.

This house looks lovely, and other narrow/slim houses linked here and from Wikipedia to my mind look great.

I wonder why this style is not more popular given the inherent advantages (i.e. running cost, less space to clean, etc.)?

The idea of utility CSS is that you have to set every single style yourself.

So for a button, you might have a class='rounded shadow p-4', which becomes rounded corners, drop shadow and a padding of 1rem.

On the one hand, you have to do a lot more to code. Instead of just adding class .btn in Bootstrap you would need to add all those classes.

On the other hand, the styles are not all the same as everyone eles's, and you can have different styles for one element if needed. You can have a button that only shares some styles, or a theme that has a lot of complimentary styles.

A downside of utility classes, is that you don't have a base to work off, you have to know what classes would go on a button in order to quickly get something nice.

The solution to that is a numerous collection of Tailwind Components. Copy the styles as ou need, and modify as you need.

Until now, there was no official collection. Some of my favorite collections are at https://tailwindcss.com/components
https://www.tailwindtoolbox.com
https://tailwindcomponents.com
https://www.creative-tim.com/learning-lab/tailwind-starter-k...
Forms: https://tailwindcss-custom-forms.netlify.com

But now we have an official collection from the framework creators themselves. Use them as a base, but - by changing a class or two, easily modify them for your project.

Of course, in Bootstrap, you could always have written your own classes to overwrite Bootstraps. That can be much more complex, and usually you wind with side effects. In my experience, the more you deviate from the prebuilt styles in semantic libs such as BS, the more hair you lose.
I've preferred Urgency and Impact as my terminology, rather than Priority and Severity, respectively. But yes, I've been frustrated that these concepts are often combined when they shouldn't be.

Great job, this looks awesome! I wish something polished like this was around when I started my stuff. I'm not sure how I feel about Tailwind being almost 1mb of CSS :D, but it's probably worth all the time you save, especially for apps the size isn't such a big deal.

The problem with flash/Java was not that much that the apps were closed source, but that the interpreter was closed source and buggy.

In particular from an attacker standpoint the attack surface of wasm is the same (actually smaller) as that of Javascript.

From the point of view of obfuscated code that wasm is worse than javascript, but I am not so sure that it is so much worse than C compiled to asm.js (that had to simulate arbitrary pointers anyway)

All in all for now the main malware using wasm are crypto mining bots.

As an update: The problem with closed source on the web is in great part that SaaS providers can circumvent GPL (which is the reason the AGPL was created) not particularly the fact Javascript can be obfuscated

* In some cases, smaller companies started laying people off even before this market drop, so they might be able to weather it more easily."
> RP was in the process of being formalized at that point. It was a BBC project

The first record of the term is from 1818 and the second decades later, according to wikipedia, hence why I said "barely formalized". A concept of upper-class English definitely existed, but it was certainly not as precise as what we now know as RP, nor did it match modern RP - it was just in the same ballpark, so to speak.

> Knowing how to spell your own name is not a big thing if you can read the KJV.

Most labourers today can read much more than the KJV (and probably in a one-off exam, I expect people were not re-tested every other week...) and still mispellings are routine.

There are also 15 years between inscription and official recording, and changing name in the UK has always been extremely easy, so there is also the chance that Tom Porter might have tweaked his name to sound different after 15 years around the upper classes.

The > and < comparisons have no meaning for complex numbers. If you don't have a way to determine which (P + iS) is bigger, then you can't sort your bugs.

In other words, by adding a severity dimension, you lost your ability to order your bugs in any ascending or descending order. That defeats the whole point of having a priority field in the bug in the first place. Now you need to have a person decide if your [P1 S2] bug should be solved before your [P2 S1] bug by some arbitrary mechanism. And once you've made that decision, you'll communicate it with "Do this first" - which is essentially a priority field that now exists outside your system of [P S] classification.

Get rid of severity - or treat it like an enum that will help inform you what your priority of each bug is and bring sanity to your system.

Folks, it's the flu. We don't have a cure for the flu either. You catch it, you feel awful, your immune system fights it, after a few days the virus runs its course, and then you're fine again. The people who are die from the flu are some combination of old and already infirmed. Same as coronavirus. And every year something like 10-15k people die from the flu but we manage to keep our cool. The disconnect here is really wide. I'm not worried about the coronavirus, I'm worried about all the alarmism and the overreaction it might cause.
You are clearly not their market, but there is a big market for this. That price is inexpensive when you look at the time and effort involved of building the same components from scratch, even though Tailwind is a pretty productive tool once you know it.
