Tailwind is the only technology that I found absolutely revolting at first glance & was sure I would hate, but turned out the opposite.

For me, it's the epitome of "Don't knock it until you try it."

(Close second is TypeScript. Which was less that I found it revolting, and more that I didn't understand the point properly.)

I think, of every developer I know the arc has always been the same (with the exception of 2 who still don't like it):

"Wtf is this, this is the worst thing I've ever seen."
"Yeah but like, just TRY it though. Write ONE app in it."

It's the tooling/IDE experience that really does it IMO.

Tailwind took the "Java/Go" approach of standardization and top-notch IDE integration + Dev workflow. You don't have to think about anything, because it's all been thought out for you, yet not in a way that's limiting (bunch of tiny composable pieces and allows you to go outside the "happy path" defaults if you want).

Looking back at the start of my career, it now seems caveman -like that you would onboard on to a project, and they would each have these massive CSS files with class names that ONLY had meaning to that particular project + were entirely subjective. And transformed over time, too.

Sure:

<section id="landing-page-banner" class="panel secondary">

Reads easier, but I have no idea what that actually _means_

With Tailwind, WYSIWYG, and it's all fully autocompleted + gives you color previews inline and helpful visual cues for positioning etc.

I'm sure something better will eventually come along, but Adam really nailed it with this one as far as I'm concerned.

Show HN: My First App, Realll, Reindexing the Web by the Power of Human
Is this a parody? Is this deliberately designed flame bait? It reminds me of adequacy.org back in the day. I don't think I should discuss this post on its merits, because (I suspect) that's exactly what they want you to do.
Yes. No different from literally any other tech stack, be it Tailwind, Bootstrap, React, Vue, Spring Boot, Micronaut, or Actix.
I strongly dislike website builders as a rule, but Webflow is an exception. I’ve been very impressed with it.
Hi, HN

I am the developer of Realll. I was a data scientist and I learned app development by myself because I cannot find anyone to help building our ambition. Our ambition is to build a real and trustful web system by everyone for everyone. The web is full of fake information and reviews by big companies in order to control our purchase behaviors.

In Realll app, you can rate, review, save and search any product/link provided by you or others. If you click the title on the item page, it redirects to the link immediately. Every rating not from your chain is blocked.

Really excited to hear feedback from you all. If you cannot find any rating, you can follow my account: Max
I used to cook chicken breasts whole until I discovered that cutting them up and then cooking them turns out way better. You end up cutting them up eventually, whether it's to put in a recipe or eat. But cutting and trimming 6 chicken breasts does take a while. The supermarkets are usually pretty good at removing the fat and icky parts, but there are still sometimes bits of gristle or even occasionally bone fragments. That said, it's well worth the extra effort.

For years I could never figure out how my favorite Thai restaurant makes the chicken in the Basil Chicken dish have such a great texture. Now that I cut the chicken before cooking, I get similar results. Now if I could only get the seasonings right.

But aside from that, your recipe ideas are excellent, and I do a lot of the same kinds of things. Chicken and veggies, usually done as a stir-fry kind of thing (and with a good wok, you don't even need to add oil, although I usually put a little in).

Another item I can't live without is garlic paste. I put that in almost everything, and my wife always gives me a hard time for buying so much of it, but I use it that much. Besides, we've had an agreement for many years: She doesn't like cooking, so I do most of it. And there are few things more satisfying than having your wife just raving about some excellent dish you've prepared (ditto the kids). That alone is enough encouragement for me to keep doing it, but I get to enjoy it as well.

Chicken breast is my go-to for easy meals, but lately I've also been using tilapia filets a lot. They're relatively inexpensive... for fish... and very easy to prepare. For a treat I'll use salmon filets or tuna steaks. I love both, but my wife really prefers the tuna.

I have a number of similar dishes based on ground beef, too, (like chili) but since that's been going up in price more than chicken, I've been using it a bit less these days.

Pork loins and chops are another good protein that's easy to cook, and not too expensive, but chicken often wins because it's the cheapest of all.
Rust, Wright's Law, and the Future of Low-Latency Systems
Thank you! I'd definitely recommend people keep it in mind as an option for potential future experiences, and to try Tetris specifically, because that's what the studies seem to all use.
Telegram feels smoothish but not smooth.And it also feels out of place on Windows.

It's also not that performant compared to something like KakaoTalk (not sure what they use..perhaps they are truly native and only use OS libs)
That's fine, you can accept payments elsewhere. The Circle API on top of Algorand has been extremely easy to integrate and move USDC around.
How is it different from most things we do?
Most Linux and Windows apps do any significant computation except when relying on (usually) native/C/C++ libraries that do it (GUI, science stuff, IO ...). So it does not really matter if it is coded in Python, C# or C++, as most of the CPU time is spent on native code anyway.

Code quality is a way more important factor in app perceived slowness.
What's a sea pod?
You can check out the source for the demo at https://github.com/xtermjs/xtermjs.org/blob/master/js/demo.j..., I've actually started hacking up a more general mechanism for doing this since I've done it a few times but it's not OSS yet.

If you don't need to rely on ccrypt and just want to emulate teh experience of using it, you could have an on rails experience by forking the demo file and adapting the commands part.
Forgot where I read it, but one of my favorite quotes on multi tasking is:

"You're not really multitasking, you're just screwing up multiple things at the same time"

I do however feel a great sense of accomplishment whenever I have several browser windows open while I work though. :|

It would also be negligent to deny service based on a reported problem without evidence that the harm is real and tangible.

If CF start to do that, then this is where it starts to look a lot like the legal process, so why reinvent something that already exists?
> One problem with describing Haugen as a whistleblower is that it is far from clear that she has paid – or will pay – any kind of significant price for her disclosures.

Uh, she certainly 100% would have fb suing the bejeezus out of her if not for whistleblower protection laws. We’ll see if they do anyway.
"The ones that carry malaria will almost certainly be wiped out."

This is always discussed in terms of the mosquitos and the population(s) of mosquitos.

Should we think, at all, of the population of malaria, globally ?

Is it possible that we could exert this tremendous pressure - an evolutionary chokepoint - on malaria and it escapes in some unexpected manner ?

This is not an area I have any background in so I hope someone can comment on this idea:

If we back an organism like malaria in a corner might heretofore out-competed mutations ascend and suddenly malaria comes at us from a new direction ?
> Income taxes in most areas (at least in relatively wealthy countries) far exceed any VAT/sales/consumption taxes.

Don't be so sure about this. Link?

E.g: Sweden 2020, income taxes 31% vs VAT 22% of total tax revenue.

Nomads are great. They drop by in prime productive age, stay for a bit and generate tax revenue. Only stay as long as they have money, no social security costs. Have medical insurance.

? How do you calculate to get them to be net negative to your society ?
A clickbait video from ... Russell Brand? Really?!?

"The support Haugen is being offered, of course, does not mean that she is not drawing attention to important matters. But it does mean that it is doubtful that “whistleblowing” is a helpful term to describe what she is doing."

Another header puzzler. Because she has wide support she's not a whistleblower?

"She has not turned her back on the establishment and revealed its darkest secrets. She has simply shifted allegiances within the establishment, making new alliances in the constantly shifting battles between elites for dominance."

Oh good lord I'm done.
according to my experience human multitasking can work until tasks do not conflict which of your "peripherial" they want to use. ie. people can think and talk while peeling potato.
but often they can not effectively type on the computer and talk about something else.
It's even worse, it's arguing that since mom only cares that the room looks clean, it's totally better to sweep stuff under the carpet real fast.
The author having worked with 100s of teams is already a tell he ain't around for long term debacles. It paid to ship on time, the rest isn't his problem. The mention that even non developers can develop with tailwind is a tell.
Practically, what’s the difference until their copyright expires?
It's been in there for a least 2 years. A quick Google search leads me to no big rants about it. shrug
I've made this comment before, but I have always wondered if there are enough linearly independent SpaceX-holding funds to construct a SpaceX-matching derivative product using only publicly traded securities.
The problem is that CEOs without full context can fall victim to cargo cult trends. "Everyone is using Tailwind, so we should too."

In my experience, Tailwind is great, and improves productivity, IF you are building an SPA with a modern javascript framework like React, that uses "components" as the primary UI abstraction. In that context, utility classes make a lot of sense.

But if you're doing traditional static content with semantic markup, then the traditional CSS stylesheet is still the better abstraction, and tailwind hurts developer productivity.
I looked into it on Sharespost/Forge but opportunities are rare, minimums are high, and the terms are really bad. Upfront fees, yearly fees, carried interest. SpaceX shares have trading restrictions so employees generally can't just go around selling them on the secondary market.
In a previous job we/I trained the analysts to be more technical and write the T part of ELT in DBT. They effectively became what is known as "Analytics Engineers" so they owned the T and then wrote their analysis on top of the models they had created.
Except that Qt might not be loaded/initialized by the time you launch your app.
This sentence from the abstract basically covers your first point:

> We predicted that reconsolidation of a reactivated visual memory of experimental trauma could be disrupted by engaging in a visuospatial task that would compete for visual working memory resources

The fact that it was a video game wasn't the important part, and completely different styles of game wouldn't have triggered the mechanism they're proposing. From what they're saying, I'd sooner expect things like or Sudoku or Minesweeper to work, rather than Xenoblade Chronicles.
Sadly that means having to put your money in a mutual fund which one may or may not want to for various reasons
SEEKING WORK (remote, Amsterdam)

I am looking for web development projects that require a combination of (creative) front-end development and UX design work.

I aspire to create work like that seen on awwwards.com, so sites that lean toward branding and are heavy on visual largesse.

My preferred stack is JS/React/Next/Gatsby, with either MDX or a headless CMS. I can use GSAP or Framer-Motion for animation.

If you have a suitable project or you would like to explore the possibilities, please reach out via www.nickungerer.com
Not saying that trades people aren't professional and work with professionalism.

More generally, multitasking can improve your outlook and mental well-being. Mix a fun task with a menial task, and the instantaneous toll of the work balances out better.
Totally Clickbait. This guy is so biased against Republicans and Trump that he blames everything essentially on them, and that this whistleblower is not really a whistleblower at all. I agree that she’s not a whistleblower, but I think we are in a post Obama era of cancel culture and tribalism. This didn’t start with Trump.
> "Kagi - Better Web for our Children"

> Well... It's a pass from me. Anything claiming something is "think of the children" is at best facetious.

That's taking it too far. It's really good to "think of the children," it's just that we have to be mindful of when that's used as a smokescreen to distract from a particular policy's highly objectionable consequences. That kind of expression also has multiple senses (e.g. "children are vulnerable and must be protected" and "we should build a better future for our children to enjoy"). The people behind this browser may not have English as a first language, so they may not be able to precisely tailor their language to English very online sensibilities.
The best one for me was documentation to complicated for me - by me.
I'm not at all arrogant in real life.
My last boss even told me that I don't stand up for myself enough. Besides, I didn't even say it was about me and merely brought it up to make a point.

Imagine constantly improving yourself for 15 years, then after 15 years, everyone you work with only gives you positive feedback and everyone wants to be on your team. You even launch open source projects which get thousands of stars on GitHub... You know you're good because there is no other explanation and nobody helped you and you have 0 meaningful industry connections and come from a modest background... but somehow you struggle to even land a first technical interview at a big tech corporation in spite of having the required university degree. That's my situation, so forgive me if I sound like an asshole on this anonymous website where I can finally vent my frustration.
This looks very promising, thanks! I sent them an email.

I've never worked with anything higher voltage than 240V before, so having people with experience to whom I can ask questions will be very helpful. If it was 5v pulses, I could just PWM a mosfet, but up that voltage 5000x and all I would have is a lot of smoke.
Agreed. The act of "whistleblowing" is not defined by the punishment. Which could still come.

The other argument is that "little Haugen is telling us that we do not already know". Well, I had no surprise whatsoever that Facebook was doing this, but that is not the same thing as evidence from the inside of what they were doing.

Article is junk, consider the possible motives for casting doubt on the whistle-blower.
Really good points! I don't think that Airflow is necessarily a problem if your data engineering team knows how to best use Airflow Operators, Hooks and DAGs for incremental loads. But because Airflow is not an opinionated ETL/ELT tool, most often I see a lot of custom code that could be improved...

You know there is this "data mesh" hype now. I think the idea behind is to empower data consumers within the company (data analysts) who know best the data to create and maintain the models. That's easier said than done, and most often turns out into a worst situation than when is only data engineers who can model data... I've only heard of Zalando who has successfully distributed data ownership within the company.

> use Perl

Perl is widely known as a write once read never language for a reason. In that sense I'll grant you awk is no better, but if you are stepping into scripting land you may as well use something generally readable (e.g. python, or just use bash).
To boost profits you have to provide more value (in a competitive field). And "more value = social benefit" has been a decent approximation so far. It's not guaranteed to hold true in the future though.
I think we should save the word "whistleblower" for someone who is revealing something new and taking a personal risk. Much of what she said has been covered in the news and even documentaries for some time. Our real debate is what to do and we already have plenty of people who've been speaking their minds on that too.
I count Brave's emphasis on crypto as a pro and necessary for our hopefully one day ad-less future.

If you block ads without allowing the ability to donate a token you are effectively stealing from site owners and causing the rise of paywalls and other restrictions on the internet.
Legit question: what's going to happen when bitcoin is no longer produced? Like, there's a finite amount of bitcoin that will ever be mined, and after that, why would anyone keep running their mining operations? How do transactions get verified after that?

Doesn't the entire viability of bitcoin as a currency depend on miners mining?

Banks don't have to allow overdraft. That's an optional lending service.
By pre-funding, you mean funding. They are required to pay today for the liabilities they incur today (the promises of future healthcare). Today's liabilities (the promises) have a very real cost. Ignoring that cost elsewhere is it's own hazard. Adopting pay-as-you-go might work for governments which can loot people later or just unilaterally change the rules. Or it might work for a company while things are good, but is catastrophic when it goes bad. Actually funding things is the proper way to do it.
Someone in VC circles mentioned in passing that you can actually talk to SpaceX about an investment if it's in excess of several millions. Not sure of any other conditions though.
Not an expert, but I think one problem would be the redemption fees from needing to rebalance this portfolio of mutual funds
And they all pretend to agree with that goal, knowing full well that the goal can and will change when holders start to believe that the vision (and, if necessary, the visioneer) has served its purpose and it's time to earn.

Wait until you get RSI. I’ve tried to cut down on the number of keystrokes I have to do something (Emacs user here, recently switched to evil-mode) and I’m more comfortable and productive.

Do you customize your command line at all? What about your desktop? Keyboard? Chair? Office? Editor is just another part of the stack.
A few enormous exceptions to the value = social benefit rule in recent times have been cigarettes, junk food, and the things that lead to superfund sites. We can't get so upset by cigarettes that we lump shelving manufacturers in with Phillip Morris, but we also can't get so excited about shelving that we lump Phillip Morris in with them.
What I don’t understand is why market participants don’t use those rather than Tether. If I had a bunch of Tether today, why wouldn’t I move it to USDC or similar?
Avoid the word 'just' and be suspicious of those that use it: It's just a new model and a few pages, how hard could it be? It should take just a couple of weeks. When people use this word they are being overly optimistic about something they're not sure of.

It's harder than you think: The name of the game is to avoid fooling yourself and you're the easiest person to fool (that's from Feynman). If the problem seems hard it probably is harder than you think. Be ruthless and don't settle for unsatisfactory, hand-waving solutions to these problems. Most people can't detect deadlocks or temporal properties of concurrent programs in their heads.
That would depend on the distance you want to fry moskitos at, if you want to burn them at meters, you need a larger aperture to get a similar divergence angle as with cm.
Not uncommonly, what looks like a shortcoming of existing systems to an innovator, is actually an important feature that you will suffer from the absence of. Sometimes cryptocurrencies seem like they're recapitulating the history of money and banking, without having learned any of the lessons from it.
People tend to not languages without null though. They have all those NullPointerExceptions in their mind and figure coding would be easier if those didn't exist, but when you give them that they don't like it. Null sits in a very nice spot between dynamic typing and static typing.
If only real life were as frictionless as arbitrage theory.
This sounds SUPER interesting. Do you have an example of this? I wonder if this is something we could adopt in npm itself
I imagine the point is to not slide over to social media until the coding is done, at least for a predetermined segment of time. Is that the idea?
You're more than welcome to keep your cash under your mattress if appeasing your own paranoia is of paramount importance in your own financial decisions. That doesn't mean it's a generally good idea, though.
That is remarkably polished - can't even tell from the outside that it's been refitted:)
> The problem is that "winning the game" is about publications, tenure, and (less important but increasingly also) popular recognition, rather than about the size of your contribution to valid research results (one hopes that publications and tenure correlate, and yet...).

> So, getting results of dubious validity published, and covered in popular press, can be exactly "figuring out the game well enough", an end in itself, rather than a minor step toward a research program.

I think sometimes it might be necessary to create a bit of a buffer between the truama and "dealing with it." When it's still fresh it can be hard to regulate one's emotional state, and it's nigh impossible to "deal" when the thoughts of the situation/event send you in to a really bad emotional state of panic and endless rumination because you either lack the tools for emotional regulation, or utilizing them doesn't even come to mind in the first place. A mind under psychological distress is a messy dark place, and only after the fact do you look back on things and wonder why you spent such a long time suffering instead of working yourself out of it.
The amount of energy, tech and brain power we're spending on ever lower impact / less rewarding topics is scary. It's equally dystopian to me to be honest
There was a reason behind "tetris effect" after all. Our way of thinking during playing video games is really different than when we're irl.
