You can still call it a banana in Tailwind, but you'd do it with a component in your framework rather than a class name.

If you plan on using bananas multiple times throughout your app, aren't you going to be pulling that out into a component anyway? So define that it's curved and sweet and yellow in that one place, and then insert an instance of it wherever necessary.

COVID is NOT a respiratory disease. It's a vascular disease.

That includes yellow bone marrow (which is adipose), red bone marrow (hence both the autoimmune/cytokine storm and immune deficiency/ADE effects), arteries and veins (hence blood clots, myocardia, stroke effects) and white fat (adipose, hence obesity as a pre-existing condition strongly associated with death from both virus and vaccine).

You only need to read the medical reports for people who die (including VAERS deaths) to see the obvious connections.

I have done some experiments with type-directed static optimization of geometric algebra, but I didn’t get far enough to find out if it would scale up to real applications. The idea was to represent in the type system which components are known to be zero, so that (for instance) the GA representation of a vector or a rotation is the same size as it would be as a traditional matrix-based linear algebra. And the type system can check that the resulting of an operation is what you expect, eg, two planes intersect in a line. So, similar optimizations to gaigen, but (I hoped) more automatic and less runtime machinery. But as I said, I didn’t get it to work.
¿How to lose belly fat?
Exipure is a natural dietary supplement that promotes weight loss and increases energy levels in a natural and healthy manner. The formula contains potent herbs and nutrients that work to trigger an increase in BAT levels, which in turn triggers the release of fat and the burning of excess calories.
So interesting! I have been to the the mountain a few times, and once I get to know the life of a specific monastery better, I’m always surprised that there is quite bit of technology, especially computers. I think many monks have laptops now too. I’m sure some are lurking here on HN.
If you compare regions that locked down and mask to those that did not in the US the fatality rate is not significantly different.

My generally point was back when we had the H1N1 outbreak in 2009 we had similar numbers of excess deaths. Yet no one did anything like break down the social fabric of society. I think that only happened this time because we had social media as a stand in.

The story I heard (I worked at Borland briefly in 1999): Microsoft would send a limo to the Borland HQ to pick up engineers for interviews on their lunch breaks. Borland sued, Microsoft settled for many millions, but basically instead of buying their rival outright (for assimilation into the Borg, lol), they just bought the talent. Last I knew Borland had changed names at least twice (Inprise, Embarcadero) and still existed, in some remnant form.

IMHO, if the arguments to a function are just a bunch of heterogeneous values that cannot be sensibly grouped together, then that's usually a sign that the function needs to be refactored (e.g. because it's trying to do a bunch of unrelated things, or because it couples tasks together in an unnatural way).

Yeah I'm pretty sure I understand what you're talking about and as far as I can tell it doesn't really have anything to do with quantum mechanics at all.

Entanglement is "just" the result of the fact that the space of possible states of a combined quantum system isn't the Cartesian product of the state-spaces of the subsystems that make it up.

If I have two classical systems, one of which has state-space {A, B} (i.e. the first system is either in state A or state B) and the other has state-space {0,1,2} (i.e. the second system is either in state 0, 1 or 2) then the system I get from combining them has 6 possible states {(A,0), (A,1), (A,2),(B,0), (B,1), (B,2)}.

Thats not how quantum state-spaces combine, they combine with the tensor product, rather than the Cartesian product, so the state-space of the combined system is much richer than what you'd get if you try to use the classical "Cartesian product" rule to combine them.

I don't think anyone wishes that Go or Rust would have chosen to just use the package manager from JavaScript or Python or Java or .Net. There's still quite a lot of innovation in package management--Go's package management seems pretty ideal in my opinion, but a lot of languages expect tooling to cater to the narrow tail of use cases (e.g., arbitrary code execution at install time). In general, package managers are pretty tightly coupled to the ideals of a language community, which tend to vary a lot.

I don't think we can ever rid ourselves fully of advertising (even acknowledging that it's annoying for users and makes the web experience markedly worse, it ultimately is useful for companies/marketers). What we can and should get rid of is targeted advertising, i.e. the more effective, invasive variety.
My answer is video games but for different reasons. With an original NES you could power on, press start, and be playing the game in two seconds. With the Switch it has to load, the thing is never charged, cartridges are too small, you have to select through so many menus before you can actually start playing, games are two complex, etc.
Be extremely wary of Oracle free tiers.

They offered a free tier and forced me to choose a shape. I chose the smallest of the two “shapes” but it was apparently not free. This was not especially clear until I got my first bill (it was extortionate; like 60eur/mo for 1cpu/2g ram) so I stopped/removed the instance.

This did not prevent me from being billed the next month, or the next month. They charged me until my card expired- then they finally cancelled the account and I paid the last bill manually. They then added another 0.1SEK charge (which is not payable, as 1SEK is the lowest denomination of currency).

I still get extremely high quantities of A4 paper through the mail box, at one point it was 29 pages of the same invoice.

I could have done something wrong here, but there is a distinct dark pattern on sign up and there are definitely bugs in the billing system.

Caveat Emptor.

Hasty conclusion, but I am glad you put a traditional banking system to the same standard.

Beneath all incumbent banking processes and redundancies, money and value is a bearer instrument. If someone takes it, it is their's (with some extra steps for reintegration back into the economy necessary, sometimes). Redundancies have been built on top of it to improve that user experience.

Crypto assets have accomplished the bearer level. The commodity raw resource that people then built value transfer on top of, and then credit-velocity based money, and then banking systems compatible with that. In the crypto-asset sector, additional private businesses and sector wide redundancies will be built to improve that user experience. They have been built and many compete directly with each other, if you find them laughably inadequate then congratulations, you've identified a market need. Obviously the conclusion that it is fundamentally and irreconcilably flawed and 'built on sand' won't necessarily motivate you to fulfill the market need, but others are motivated by it.
I disagree. Go provides a low-runtime way of writing programs, like C, without having to resort to managing memory and threads super carefully. No VM, no interpreter, fairly straightforward to imagine what the compiler is doing.

You can do the same work in Java but you can't statically link the JVM. You can sort of do these in Python, but the compiler story is murky at best, and the language isn't as type safe.
I bet you don't need to upgrade your account to receive nastygrams from Oracle legal, though.

I don't remember when this happened exactly during my career, but someday something clicked in my mind and I learned that, after youre promoted above middle management, you can get away with most legal but immoral things, and with many straight up illegal stuff as well. One can concentrate so much power without accountability that it's easy to blame someone else, the market, the client, the employees, and keep changing the rules to never get screwed. And if something happens... There's always a "sabbatical period" to relax a bit before going on to the next company.

This can depend on what you're doing and what background you bring to the work. ie: Just recently, I've found myself more effective developing 3D print designs using a textual language than via a drag/drop UI. (But I bring a programming background, like to think in abstractions, and was making designs that were quite inorganic...)
Well in between the ads and google spying I often do not feel productive.
As far as I understand, the build system just scans for whatever Tailwind class names you use, and then generates them into CSS. Which is why you can't dynamically compose Tailwind class names and insert them into your markup, cause it wouldn't be picked up.

Whether or not you're using Javascript doesn't matter (I guess unless you use the new CDN script which I haven't tried), but it does need to be run in a build system.

> Fast forward to today and we are in this clusterfuck, where everyone keeps reinventing the wheel and complexities just keep growing

Yes, it is quite funny to see how no toolkit exists to simply produce Web UIs in a meaningful way.

However, the complexity has grown largely from externalities that didn't exist during the time of effortless interface builders, which is screen sizes and aspect ratios and pixel densities of all sorts. To handle this, you need to have some lower level primitives, and of course any time you have to go to a lower level you surface more complexity.

Final point - as a person who develops web UIs professionally for 7 years now, I think that the "reinventing the wheel" has been actually quite beneficial to tame this complexity. Previously, untyped JS had to be bent into surfacing type-style error messages, and good luck with boundary crossing data. Now, TypeScript lets you describe every key in your application and have incredible confidence that a fully-typed piece of UI or logic (which of course must avoid `any`) will deliver exactly what you intended. GraphQL & codegen has given us the ability to type our boundary crossing data straight from our DB or resolvers without any runtime reflection. Runtime reflection tools like io-ts also bridge that gap admirably to program defensively in the situations it's needed. It's obviously been accompanied by a lot of churn, but with strictly typed component libraries, a bit of reusable layout logic, and Hasura, I can make sexy fully-themable UIs strictly typed all the way to and from the data source without significant effort. The complexity in my new paradigm is entirely in application-level tricks like UIs visually informing users of all the async actions, animations / transitions, avoiding dynamic content causing bad layout blips, and ensuring user input is never lost. I think this kind of thing wouldn't have been easy in any oldschool toolkit because it inherently requires some wiring that isn't easy to surface

Recently, I've been buying more stuff from non-Amazon retailers. I bought a pair of basketball shorts from Macy's, and a reading light from Home Depot. I'm tired of getting burned by those weird Chinese brands (with ALLCAPS brands) on Amazon. The physical stores gave me a few choices (that were all pretty decent) and I got to inspect the product before buying, rather than roll the dice with an online order. So I'm rediscovering old shopping.
Most likely not: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_ore, it's almost 50% iron in the worst case and can be up past 70% in the best case. The geological processes that form this ore in the mantle do a pretty good job of concentrating iron by density but it takes geological scales of time to do so and have it lifted back up through the crust. We might have to excavate a lot of earth to get to the concentrated vein of ore but when we find it it's relatively easy to chase and turn into usable iron once you know a little bit about mining and smelting as a society.

A city decayed to rust is going to be a thin layer of iron spread out over miles with some hot spots like where a building once stood (but presumably without a map of the city in this distant future scenario), but there won't be a vein of concentrated ore. Distributed rust can definitely be turned back into pure iron but the energy requirements are going to be substantially higher to do so since you're going to have to sift through much more material to collect it, more material to separate and concentrate it, more material to smelt off, and your operations will have to be more mobile to retrieve it over a larger area. That's why I think retrieving iron from our society will be more like extracting iron from ironsands (2-20% iron), and it will have similar effects on that subsequent society that sits between us now and some future point where geology has re-supplied it to the surface millions of years from now.

>Further, I'm not an "expert" so even if I did challenge the data or argument, I would be dismissed for being unqualified.

Not always true. You just need to provide data (or identify an error in their data/methodology/etc.) that is convincing enough to overcome the difference in weight afforded to an expert opinion and non-expert opinion.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. This is not to say that you are wrong, you very well could be correct, but the onus is on you to prove why your non-expert opinion should be weighted higher than hundreds of experts from various countries.
Now you have to trust the lawyer that created your contract, as well as the court that might enforce it.

This may not be obvious, but the public land (Right of Way) for a freeway is very small compared to the visual range of a driver in a car, and the scale of "things you see while driving" is much larger than you would think. (Go stand next to an ordinary residential stop sign and then think about how big and high up it actually is compared to your mental model of it.)

I'm not aware of any bill boards that are on public land (though some probably exist). Rather almost all bill boards are built on private land, or atop private buildings, as a revenue generator for the property owner. Anything within 500 feet of the road is viable, or even further away assuming a large sign. So for billboards to be prohibited there has to be land use regulation that says property owners can't build large signs.

That is actually less trivial to enforce than you might think, because the line between a straight up advertising billboard and, say, the sign that lets you know there's a McDonald's at the next exit, is a little fuzzy. There's enormous pressure from business owners to permit large "marquee" signs so that drivers can spot their business from far back enough that they can easily get in the right lane, slow down, turn, etc. without missing it.

>>The huge majority of the world is very poor. The poorer half of the world, almost 4 billion people, live on less than $6.70 a day.

$6.70 a day is 3 and a half times what is considered extreme poverty. I guess the site is focusing on the negative side here, maybe in order to get more donations, and that's fine, but the world wide reduction in extreme poverty in recent decades is worth commenting on. From the NY Times:

"In 1990, about 36 percent of the global population — and nearly half of people in developing countries — lived on less than $1.25 a day, the World Bank’s definition of extreme poverty at the time. (It’s now $1.90 a day.) In 2000, United Nations member states pledged to cut extreme poverty worldwide — specifically to halve the proportion of people living in extreme poverty, from 1990 levels, by 2015.

Bottom line: The U.N. goal was met. By 2015, the share of the world’s population living in extreme poverty fell to 12 percent from 36 percent in 1990, a steep decline in just two and a half decades. During a single generation, more than a billion people around the world climbed out of extreme poverty, surpassing the goal."
Inflation actually disproportionately affects the poor. They don’t have assets which scale with inflation like property, equities, or bonds.

Meanwhile their rent and basic cost of living increases and wages don’t always increase to compensate. As property and wealth building assets appreciate, the lower class has an even larger barrier to financial independence.

The goal here for congress and the fed seems to be propping up the insanely overheated markets rather than assisting the poor. Kicking the can down the road isn’t a good long term strategy and we’ve been running on empty since ‘08.
This is what happens when the buyer doesn't care what the price is because its not their money and the seller doesn't publish prices to allow comparison. Insurance companies only care if a price is outside of "normal" as they can just increase premiums as hospitals push "normal" continually higher.

Hospitals make ridiculous profit. Insurance companies make ridiculous profit. Neither of them care at all what the real customer gets charged.

We can't reliably get people to vaccinate, which reduces the risk of severe hospitalization or death orders of magnitude more than losing weight.
