From a design perspective this looks really good, I like the components, the typography, the generated pages from Figma etc. Also the documentation seems to be clean and user-friendly. It's way better than most of the docs.

From the development perspective and from other comments that are here, and also from many articles like: https://dev.to/jaredcwhite/why-tailwind-isn-t-for-me-5c90 or https://dev.to/neophen/tailwind-is-bad-because-i-don-t-like-... or https://betterprogramming.pub/tailwind-css-is-probably-overh... you can see that there are still a lot of people who hate the way Tailwind work with classes. But in the same time you can see that they have a steady grow month over month since April 2019: https://www.similarweb.com/website/tailwindcss.com/ that means some people love the way Tailwind is working with utility classes.

So I think this is a really good extension that can speed up the development process of people who like Tailwind. For those who don't like Tailwind, there are many other alternatives. There is no such thing that can fit for everybody.

Some questions
1. What did you use to create the docs?
2. What are your next steps with this project?
No. Imagine you are a ReactOS (or Wine etc.) developer. The main thing you can't do is to use any code you are trying to reimplement. It literally contradicts the very aim of your project: to create a legal viable alternative to a proprietary system.

Moreover, you know it is the biggest danger and the main avenue Microsoft will attack you in the future, so you are extremely careful never to do anything even remotely illegal. When someone sends you links to fragments of Windows source code, you politely but firmly answer you are not allowed to look at this code. Because you know that if you look at it even once, an evidence of that could be used against you in court - and you are competing against the most important product of one of the richest corporations in the world, so you can't let yourself to be sloppy.
Subs could be useful to protect/attack shipping or military assets that are protecting/attacking shipping.

It does seem improbable that we will see large scale land invasions of developed countries. However, European nations also thought that was improbable pre-WW1. It's not crazy to err on the side of caution here. After all you could ask the same questions about the Chinese military build-up --- no-one's going to invade mainland China, obviously.

NZers definitely don't want to be in the nuclear sub business but I think the majority of NZers are concerned about the direction of the CCP and are happy to be part of ANZUS and Five Eyes. Sure, we want to keep taking China's money but if push comes to shove there's no doubt which side we're on.
Right. I wouldn't put things quite so extremely, and I think many YouTubers would honestly disagree with you. Which is why I think the GP's point was relevant in the first place.

But that's where people end up, not where they begin. Usually. At least that's the perception, for the kinds of channels you probably find most of the HN folks watching - including the channel ran by the man in question.

Somebody starts a channel about something they're passionate about, and are able to bring something to the table in relation to it, which lets them make some really cool videos that most people couldn't do.

Over time, things start moving in the direction you mentioned as it turns from a passion project they expect to go nowhere into a living. However I don't think most viewers exactly see it this way. I think there are a variety of reasons for this, including in particular just how far the medium pushes parasocial relationships. The slow change is also a factor for both the audience and the YouTuber themselves, I think.

the WHSmiths shops had some of their computers sound amplified through the cassette players

a mischeivious program of

10 pause (big number)
20 beep
30 goto 20

it would sit there for ages until a key was pressed, then beep very loud when a person - who's very first touch of a computers keyboard, would seemly set an alarm off.

the faces of the customers thinking they've broke the computer is still etched in my mind
Given that lockdowns do not work and that in March 2020 that was even the official position of the WHO, it was always good to be against them. Sweden correctly stayed the course that had been decided on in calmer times and now has dramatically lower per-capita COVID mortality than the European average.

It is really depressing that even 18 months in, and even with instant access to the case curves of every country, significant numbers of people still believe that these tactics worked. You can just look at the development of cases over time and compare countries to each other to see that they've had no effect at all.
feel compelled to shout out Jean-Baptiste Kempf (VLC) who refused to sell the project for 'several tens of millions' which makes me pretty confident that there's still people out there who will stick to their principles
Thanks a lot for sharing your journey!

How do you chose which project to tackle on, do you take account of their potential distribution?

Have you abandoned a lot of other projects?

Do you have a daily routine?

Do you have a todo list, a personal ticket system? How do you prioritize through tasks?
No one important, just every government in the world.

I agree on your first point (and posted some stats that back it up) but not on your second.

Just stop for a moment and ponder, who has a strong financial motive to spread the idea that renewable energy (and carbon fees and all that other stuff) is not a good solution.

Have you noticed that the thing that links nuclear boosters is their opinion on renewables being useless?
Germany got through the pandemic with about half as many infections and deaths per capita as the UK. The vaccination rates are almost the same as the UK by now.

So I wouldn't call this a great strategic victory for the UK. Especially since it also cost them quite a bit of goodwill in Europe.
Acorn attempted this but suffered from various US "regulations" that seemed designed to keep non-US companies out of the USA, or at least make it difficult for them to operate.

One example is the RF rules that hampered the Acorn Archimedes.
That video is fun but silly. Australia has major trading partners that aren't China.

I didn't say I wouldn't compare them - I said I would put one next to the other, by which I meant Tailwind that is generally a bad idea.

It will be quite unfair to expect the US to shoulder a disproportionate burden in collective defence treaties (they already spend 3.7% of GDP on defence, compared to Australia's 2.1% or Germany's 1.6%).

Australia spending on these subs will add to the coalition's strength, with Asia heating up rapidly.

I love the section about getting rid of Active Record only to discover that the handwritten SQL equivalent is unmaintainable and slower.

Also if you're on the fat-models team and you have lots of behaviors and business logic on your models, it's often easier to just go with Active Record, because the second you wander off the beaten path (e.g. handwritten joins) you start dealing with weird franken-models that contain attributes from multiple tables, but not their behaviors (methods, callbacks).
Thank you so much for creating such a useful search engine!

Is there any way that you can get an HTTP certificate?

I use an old iPhone 4S, and most of the modern web is inaccessible due to TLS. Hacker News and mbasic.facebook are two of the last sites I can use.

Usually text-based sites are more accessible, so this could be really useful to help me continue using my antique devices!
"But then they lost their ambition"

I rather say, it has to do with economic realities: there was a joke in eastern germany something like:

we got no toilet paper, but a cosmonaut, hurey.

edit:

"Keine Bretter für die Laube

Für das Auto keine Schraube

Für das Klo kein Papier

Aber Kosmonauten haben wir"

non rhyming translation:

"No wood for the hut

no screw for the car

no paper for the toilet

but a cosmonaut we got"
Sounds quite clickbaity. I actually like titles the describe the subject rather than the conclusion.
I don't think they are, that's just the AMA format looking unusual.
Well you’re not distinguishing between two situations:

1. Someone chooses not to have equity because they want more cash now, don’t want to risk part of their compensation on equity, etc.

2. The company says their equity will never be liquid so you definitely don’t want it. You accept a cash offer with profit sharing instead. Then they sell the shares for $12 billion leaving you unknown job security and low expected future compensation while they profit off their lies
Just read it and it seems obviously very impressive that they managed to switch from uranium to Thorium. But I do wonder how their trials of fusion reactors are going. Not too long ago there were breakthroughs in this tech. Perhaps if more work got put into this we could finally break the needed gap and produce more power that we put into it. Thus making it a viable and clean power source of the future.
China's too big of a market - companies have to comply with local authoritarian regime demands.

It really helps that North Korea and Afghanistan are dirt poor.
Have they ever explained why the csam would be implemented?
Apple bends just fine if the government is powerful enough and the marketplace is big enough, see China.
Yeah I was thinking about it, the particles would have to be able to transfer power to each other by contact. If it's a problem of corrosion maybe through induction. And some particles are specialized eg. an IMU or a battery, etc... spatial would depend on external direction probably IMU combo. But the manufacturing would be insane... scale and then hopefully it's cheap enough it could be like dirt. In the end what is it for, is it strong structurally. Clustering compute of each particle would be interesting too.

Anyway at least you can model/simulate it, that would be a cool thing to design/program.
Oh the MSX had it too for sure.. The TRS-80 was almost not sold here in Europe. We had some Radio Shack shops (called Tandy) here but the TRS-80 wasn't a big thing. We only got the LCD model.

But it was exactly the same thing yeah.. Jiggling the relay super fast would fuse it. One of my friends had this happen to his MSX 1, I think there was some early 'malware' in a copied game or something. But at least a relay replacement is not difficult or expensive.

That's a direct quote from one of the principal architects of the lockdown policy. He is, not coincidentally, in an open relationship with a member of the hard left Extinction Rebellion group, and the SAGE committee that he sits on which advises the government also contains a member of the British Communist Party.

The above are all unarguable facts. What you derive from them depends on prior intuitions.

Just announced hosting more US bombers as well

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-09-17/us-raises-concerns-ab...

Reality is that AU needs nuclear subs for offensive deterrence againt PRC because AU has already sunk cost too much into US orbit that the only thing left is to double down.

PineGap, Geraldton, Exmouth communication hubs, US is absurdly dependent on AU facilities for Indo-Pac operations. Aforementioned facilities will 100% be targeted by PRC if US containment efforts become kinetic. Hence these subs to threaten PLAN at choke points.

It helps that AU is a steadfast historic US ally, bordering on sycophancy, but in Mearsheimer words on future PRC/US/AU dynamic, if AU picks PRC, they become US enemies. I would extend that to AU being neutral as well. US _NEEDS_ AU facilities for Indo-Pac operation the same way it needed ME oil pre-Shale. AU doesn't have a choice but to cooperate with US because “implications”.

So here we are. Overdue capabilities for AU, assuming aquisition doesn't fall through. At least 8 nuke subs that AU has even less experience building, which likely will overshoot planned delivery by 10+ years, and go massively over budget, of which 2-3 can be deployed at once. Worse case scenario, project goes nowhere, PRC gets the crown jewels of SSN technology via espionage while having shipyard designed to launch 2 nuke subs per year.
> You basically stated one argument split into two bullet points, and then listed 'etc etc etc'.

Well, no, actually. It's really a two separate not connected cases. I've already provided an example for the second bullet and here's an example for the first one: sw/service that integrates with a number of third party external network interfaces. The cost comes from ever-changing external endpoints.

> I've seen entire companies built around the idea that someone has a hard-to-get CSV file...

Sure, almost anyone encountered such companies. That's just another side of a coin. Not a reason for me to dismiss subscription model for some sw as a "principle".

On what I certainly do agree with you is a notion that companies should state very clearly why I should pay them a subscription instead of a single payment. "We just want more money" is indeed close to a kind of an insult.

> I have no desire to make a product.

That's an issue ;) So you don't give yourself an opportunity to review your decision and your principle just comes unchallenged.
But yet, if Nile Red whips up something dangerous, that’s ok?

I mean I see your point, but this kind of enforcement seems random or worse (take down is maybe effected by complaints of lobbyists- chemistry has maybe fewer of those)

No disrespect to Nike Red/blue, that’s a great channel.
You're making their point more beautifully than you could ever imagine...

Some workplaces really are trying to be the chill pub all the way down to the beer on tap.

But you can have an environment that's "a friendly place to be where people are genuine and there's a sense of community" without that crap

I swear more than the next person but I don't want my workplace codifying it. We can leave that kind of tech-bro bs back in the 2010s.
Sinclair was probably as important in Europe as Apple II was in the US.
let's not confuse profits with cash flow. yeah, it's okay to be running losses, if you're reinvesting the money like amazon did. however cash flows are different. will re-check if amazon was cash flow negative
Maybe you should e-mail Apple and tell them. Give them a law and a business lesson.

Anyway, the idea is that legal or not, it's up to the Russian people to create the environment. Maybe it's legal according to the text(I wouldn't know, not a Russian lawyer) but due to the corruption and power distribution maybe Putin can simply do whatever he wants. A gadget company cannot fix this, if you like to fix it you need to fix it yourself and then you can have companies publishing the Apps you like.

You cannot delegate the job of creating a government and juridical system that has integrity to an American company. It's unreasonable to expect such a thing.
They could not do business there.
> Well they did, and developed a vaccination system which the anti-lockdown people refuse to take, because those people are not only anti-lockdown but are against anything coming from the governments

I take issue with that statement!

I haven't been COVID-jagged for one simple reason: I do not take experimental medical procedures whose only promise is to make me feel better if I catch COVID and doesn't prevent spreading or reinfection - I've had COVID recently with no side effects. I especially don't take experimental drugs made by companies that are immune from prosecution!

There is a reason that vaccines take years to develop! On that note, what are the long-term side effects of the jag? Anyone got data on that?

Edit: forgot a bit... and I'll be downvoted to hell but that will just reinforce my point
Thanks for the feedback!

1. We used HUGO as a static site generator and Webpack to put things together using markdown files. (it's open-source: https://github.com/themesberg/flowbite including the HUGO source files)

2. We're now working on the application UI code (pro version) but we will also add new components and external styled plugins (datepicker, charts) to the open-source library.

We have a roadmap on the landing page: https://flowbite.com/#roadmap
Psychologists attend years of school and training for the express purpose of understanding their clients' experiences.

There are multiple ways out of privileged obliviousness. One is lived experience. Another is taking the time to develop a structured and empathetic understanding.
> Not promising equity if you do sell can be a sensible decision, because you keep more of the money to yourself. As long as you're transparant about not selling

Yes it’s always sensible to take more money for yourself lol. But they weren’t transparent about not selling (they said they wouldn’t and then they did so they lied). Hence why the employees feel screwed
I am sure that MailChimp founders were sincere in their unwillingness to sell company. But 12 billions is 12 billions. I am sure that author of VLC would sell his product for much bigger money, the only problem that there's no one to offer him bigger money.
I never said it shouldn't be posted, I provided direct criticisms of the blog post content itself. The topic is still interesting, the author's conclusions not so much.
You can just have multiple Google accounts on the same phone for different countries and switch to a different store this way.

Or people could sideload the app on their phone.
People should start realisizing that they don’t have much control over for their iPhones, never hard. User interfaces are just an illusion. Reversing their black box code is too much work in real time.

We have always had to trust Apple and their word on what they do. There isn’t evidence that they have broken the trust yet, so what gives reason for even more speculation than before?

French nuclear deterrent is entirely developed in house, whearas the UK one is US power plant, warheads and missiles with British naval architecture. Maybe the French didn’t give them nuclear tech for security reasons, same way no-one else is allowed to buy America’s top end stuff.
That is true, Discord is generally thought of (and used) as voice/chatting platform, more than a message board platform, but people still write random garbage even on those... as evidenced by things like Youtube comments or Disqus comments. So, the target community is still the king when it comes to the quality of the conversation. (BTW I didn't mention Twitter because that is the worst PLUS all the spam. Trying to read something like a response thread for a Musk Tweet is a nightmare.)
Big discussion, currently #1 on the front page: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28554565
Perhaps their blocking systems are stateless, i.e they don't bother doing a lookup of communication histories because it's expensive when you're dealing with millions of texts an hour. They just run each one through a bunch of rules and drop matches.
Sounds like they were talked into profit sharing instead of equity and now the profit sharing won’t apply at Intuit so they likely got almost nothing from it
If I would live in the US it's not being murdered by some random I would be worried about. It's the cops that are badly trained and because of the very high possibility of someone having a gun are incredibly trigger happy.
How this helps Russians? What Apple gets from it?
A lot of the issue is; they underestimate the build cost. So they end up with a decent chunk of equity (can be as high as 40% in some cases) but also a tonne of unservicable debt.

So you have two choices; struggle and be miserable for as long as you can before it all falls apart (but in your dream home) or sell up for financial safety and compromise on the location.
That's not entirely true. Apple is big enough that they can ignore, bend, or even change local laws when it suits them, especially as it pertains to their operations outside the U.S.

It makes one wonder who or what made this demand worth fulfilling for Apple, but it could just as easily be someone incompetent at Apple blindly fulfilling a takedown request from the Russian government because it's in their job description to follow such demands and they didn't realize that a simple app takedown request had significant geopolitical implications. Who knows. Either way, Apple has definitely strayed far from the vision of their 1984-themed commercial back in the day where they shattered big brother with a hammer...
config files / templates are typically declarative, you tel some orchestrator “this is how I want my infrastructure to look like, please detect changes and make it happen”.

it makes it much more easy to reason about things, as state is abstracted away.
Not to remove any praise to JB, would he still have refused if the offer was in the billions rather than millions?

There's a point where it might make sense for him... even if not for bare personal/lifestyle reasons, a billion could be useful to fund plenty new or existing opensource projects in line with his principles.
Ok I'm from the Netherlands. The C64 was the computer and Atari was a very distant number 2 (or even 3, after the MSX). At least in my circles :) It was much more difficult to get an idea of the whole community back then.

But the C64 was 600 guilders at the time and the Atari was 'dumped' on the market at one point for 200 so it was an easy choice :)
It is time to ask Google and Apple if they were asked to actually remove Telegram from stores, when russian government was trying to ban it.

It wasn't removed at the time, and all sources that Apple and Google were demanded to block it in Russia pointed to press-release on RosKomNadzor itself.

I suspect that it is possible that all this Telegram block in Russia was a PR campaign coordinated with Russian government to give Telegram a reputation of a messenger that doesn't abide to tyrannical governments.
At some point in the mid to late 1980s, there was a craze in Minsk of seemingly everyone home-building ZX Spectrum clones. Probably the Ленинград design, though I'm not entirely sure. As I recall, all the components were off-the-shelf Soviet parts (K155 TTL series), so no ULA or anything fancy like that.

BionTech needed a large partner for clinical trials and initial prodcution. The IP is still largely Biontech, they now have a significant production footprint as well. Not to bad, plus huge global sales. And the mRNA know-how mostly stayed with Biontech. For once I don't see any lack in strategy here.
