I get your point, but you were wondering where the toxicity was and even if we ignore the circumstantial facts and we do not point the finger at anyone, what we can clearly see in those threads is that the discussion [in the official threads and by official members] is not healthy at all, hence the toxicity.
With no disrespect to anyone, I think it'd be useful if people bashing Tailwind would briefly list what their day to day programming consists of.

My impression is that most of the negative comments are coming from people that don't code for Web often (I could be wrong). To those folks: I'm not saying you don't know your stuff or that you argue badly - since I was on that side myself a few months back.

What I am saying is that the elegance and pragmatism of Tailwind might not be easy to intuit just by reading about it. Try to implement a simple landing page using Tailwind+TailwindUI and see if any lightbulbs gets lit.
The article has some good numbers, but it's hard to tell how significant it really is in the grand scheme of a lifestyle.

Everything has some risks and you need to prioritize somewhat. Not that I hunt anyway.
there are more options for shotgun shells than for bullets.

For bullets you can basically do pure copper. I think anything else falls into a 'armor piercing' category that is banned. I'm not 100% clear on the laws there but I know that is why most bullets are still lead core (in addition to cost factors).

lead ammo bans are a way to ban guns without banning guns themselves, similar to 'microstamping' and other odd proposals. Basically mandate something that makes it so costly that no one can do it

What a sad culture-wars-meet-public-health mess.

Idea - a non-profit, lead by a few high-profile celebrity hunters, which pays the cost of some "free upgrade to lead-free ammo" coupons that are offered (free on request) with hunting licenses. And a "safely feed your family" brochure goes out with every license, period.
Why is that unfortunate.

> SRV records could work for alternative ports, but those websites wouldn't be able to get Let's Encrypt certificates without talking to the API of their DNS provider. ACME does not allow alternative ports to be used for security reasons, so we'll need a solution for that.

The security reasons would go away with the presence of the SRV record specifying the allowed port for the domain though. Well, at least as much as any other DNS challenged based method is secure.

Your statement on 'hate' is self-referential on self-identity, akin to labeling others divisive. It's not simply 'there to see,' like a brick or a tree. You're conjuring it. As such, I directly disagree with you.
We live in an electromagnetic world. You can blow minds even in educated circles when you explain that most physical forces are just electrical repulsion. Dark matter is then just matter that doesn’t interact too much with electromagnetic fields.
Same here. I've gotten a lot of mileage out of my 7th generation X1C. Perhaps more than any laptop I've previously owned. I've had no problems with it whatsoever. I've been running Ubuntu on it since the day it arrived.
Does anyone have any thoughts on the blog post [0] linked at the end of the announcement? Is this actually how venture capitalists evaluate these sorts of things? That post feels like it approaches "conspiracy theory" levels of leaps [1] about the evolution of the product and its potential impacts from a company whose product offering doesn't really seem to have changed or expanded much in the past few years, and which feels from an outsider's perspective like it's generally being left in the dust by more modern competitors like GH's Codespaces.

also the part about how alternating current should push energy and pull energy with the electrons-as-chain model given that it is perfectly possible to use alternating motion as source of energy (eg the pistons of an internal combustion engine)
At https://CoCalc.com we offer generic compute without any form of registration required (see https://cocalc.com/auth/try). And indeed, crypto mining is a periodic headache for us. I think Replit used to have a model that made it much easier for them to offer something without registration, because they supported client side Python, etc., via Emscripten. However, they eventually seem to have moved away from that.
Shouldn’t have read the article, it’s gut wrenching. How can people be like that, without any empathy and emotional attachment? I understand that there are more brands involved, what I don’t understand is how no one really talks about the situation. It’s ugly.
Looks a lot like poetry
I like the idea of tailwind, I’ve dealt with raw css and bootstrap before but I’m certainly no frontend developer.

How can I learn tailwind enough to become proficient? Most of the documentation I looked at seemed to lack any tutorial on how to locate the correct classes I need, or any other sharp edges that might exist,

>I think the world has been seized by an apocalyptic mood. Everyone is acting like the party is going to stop soon so they better grab what they can now.

People have been working like dogs with no end in sight, while the super rich become ultra rich and wealth accumulates in smaller and smaller enclaves. Why would you NOT be acting this way if there is no vision of the future held by your democratically elected politicians of how to make this stop.

The answer is that people's lives are materially stagnant with no improvement in sight.

Can I have my PhD now?
I do, but the smaller slices don't come out to the same size as what they would if I owned a car myself. I use rentals, ubers, and delivery services sparingly. If I owned, I'm sure I would drive a decent bit more.

The other commenter said that 8-10k is expensive (which it is), the big hit there comes mainly from registration fees, taxes, insurance, and parking, all of which are not cheap where I live unless I were to buy a relatively old car that has significantly depreciated, since that's how those fees are assessed.
How to be effective at open source: by programmers, for programmers
There was a sort of doomsday device built by the Soviets:

https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=113242...

> If there's a crisis, somebody in the Defense Ministries has to turn it on, so that's the first step. It then tries to find evidence that there's been a nuclear hit on the Soviet Union. If it determines that there has been a hit, then it tries to communicate back to the Defense Ministries. And if it can talk to them, it says, okay, humans are still alive. I don't need to work. I'll shut off.

> But if it can't communicate with them, then it knows there's been a crisis. We've been hit by a nuclear warhead and all the lines of communications with the Defense Ministries have been taken out. So now, we need to bypass all the traditional layers of command authority, and suddenly, the ability to launch a nuclear retaliatory strike is given to some junior official in a bunker.
Seems like it would be tricky to ban furries unless you ban all user provided avatars.

> user-generated content and building is the main mechanic and the reason people us it

Has Facebook released those tools are talked about what those tools will look like? User generated 3D content is really, really, really hard.
You `pdm install requests` and it installs Django.
And if a company does go out of business after committing too many crimes, then the problem is too much regulation holding back innovation.
If you let even 1% of people default, that's a huge excess supply and fall in demand (if people sold their houses every 10 years, only 10% of them would be for sale in 1 year, so a 1% repossession increases supply 10% in a given year).

So then what?

You either bail out so many people that fewer than 1% of people default. That's basically a 100% bailout right?

Or you don't and then prices fall.

And as soon as prices fall, suddenly construction stops and more people lose their jobs and people are underwater and consider defaulting strategically even if they don't "have" to.

I really agree about buyers not being innocent. I really do. It's by far the least reformed group in the 2008 shit show of fraud.

But this isn't a moral position. It's a practical one. And you can't punish those people or they'll take their neighbours (and elected officials) down with them...
I inherently from a coworker who was terminated, a web app built with Tailwind.

The tailwind.config.js is missing.

I can’t even begin to describe all of the reverse engineering I’ve tried to regenerate the config file with no luck and we’re royally screwed.

Make sure you don’t lose that file!
You are pretty much right. There's no need for assumptions though, see https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2021/05/27/manifest-v3-updat... and https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2019/09/03/mozillas-manifest....
> Defund advocates often claim that police don’t actually prevent crimes, that they only bust the perpetrators after the fact. But that’s untrue. Police presence deters crime[citation provided]. Arresting career criminals takes them out of circulation. And, most important, effective policing bolsters a community’s faith in government-administered justice.

Regardless of whether defunding is good/bad for crime, this is the core justification for existing funding in this article and it is quite thin.

Edit: I am unclear on why this is getting downvoted. Almost nothing in that paragraph is adequately substantiated anywhere in the article. I am not married to any particular perspective on this topic, but remain unconvinced of the author's conclusion.
We've been using Tailwind for over a year now. We use it with Angular for our web application and with Gatsbyjs/React for our production website. I have nothing but love for Tailwind.
In fairness, the article isn't written by Weiss.
Is it Chromium based?

It might be great but for now refuse to support anything that further strengthen Googles grip on the market.
That’s the most insane article I’ve read in a while. I can’t imagine living somewhere like that
> It's the root cause why inequality is so much worse in the US, why you have a much bigger housing crisis, why health care in the US is such a mess, why there's homeless people everywhere etc etc.

I don't think a single part of this claim a) logically follows from the previous paragraphs, or b) is actually true.

For just one example: the housing crisis is a lack of supply, which is the result of the exact same kind of status-quo-maintaining, market-forces-secondary-to-regulatory-aims (NIMBYism by property owners and their representatives) thing you describe as being the European norm.

To say that these philosophical differences are the root cause of failures in very complex systems is of course the popular and prevailing European narrative about the USA. (There is another, equally popular and equally false (but self-congratulatory) one in Europe about gun violence in the USA.) I just don't see much evidence to substantiate it.
As the OP, I personally found BitDefender to have the best Privacy Policy I could hope for in an anti-virus (according to ToSDR, anyway). It's one of the reasons why I've avoided Avast. BitDefender just stays in the background, doesn't nag you about buying things, and doesn't surreptitiously collect data in the background.

If I used Windows I would consider paying for BitDefender, but honestly with my setup I only use Windows for educational software. I wonder what the next best antivirus is ...?

Haha thanks for the feedback. I definitely am hearing some echos. I was inspired by apples keynote grid design but then realized maybe for a landing page it’s a bit too chaotic? And your eyes don’t have a linear place to start and have to do some extra work. Definitely thinking ways to mitigate this.
I've seen the opposite, lack of a long promised IPO causing morale problems amongst employees...
Thanks for the feedback. Because of the way HN works, it supports a "nonlinear comment development process". You jot some random ideas into a comment, which can often turn into a good comment after several edits (in which those ideas no longer appear at all). Or not: it gets deleted before it is seen: there is a configurable delay before your comment goes public. I was sure that one wasn't going to be (in any shape), but I had to respond to some urgent things. That's it.
> However with social media we can see that it's not an isolate or exceptional thing but rather a common every day occurrence.

I don't see that we can call it a "common, every day occurrence". We have no idea if it's common, that's what the database was/is for. Because of the amount of interactions, excessive force incidents could be and exceptional, every day occurrence. We simply have no idea. Social media hasn't clarified anything about the _rates_ of the incidents, it's only allowed insight into specific incidents that probably would have been swept under the rug in the past.
You can only signed addons these days, so they must be sourced or at least signed by Google. Especially on Chromebooks which are more restrictive in the software they run.

My guess would be that your family members got social engineered into installing that crap ("this web page only works with X, click here to install"), ort their browsers got exploited and hacked (very unlikely!). You'll probably need full MDM to prevent these websites from getting their users to enable extensions.

The problem with disabling extensions is that whatever has the capability of pushing extensions into your browser also has the ability to change the settings for addons. The only solution I can think of is to create a Chromium build that cannot run extensions at all.
yeah, the link in my comment already covers this. I deliberately didn't mention that because a bunch of the top countries seem to be countries with questionable labor practices involving migrant workers, eg. UAE, kuwait, or saudi arabia, or are microstates. The fact that microstates top the list also points to a flaw with the % capita methodology. Is Liechtenstein really the best country to move to?
> Monzo’s culture of customer obsession allowed it to use the crisis to thoughtfully build a beloved consumer and SMB product that has changed personal finance in the UK

Monzo built its engaged customer base before Covid. Since Tom Blomfield left it is more focused on monetising customers. That's what Monzo needed to do but the article is spinning the truth

> The banking experience has not evolved to match modern consumer
expectations.

Monzo was a breath of fresh air when it launched. Competitors have caught up a lot — even Amex have a great app with instant alerts now

> Banks do not incentivize better money habits. Their profit models
rely on upselling and non-transparent fees that typically penalize
the most vulnerable customers.

Monzo is obsessed with upselling. The Plus and Premium products include such innovations as mobile phone insurance and "25% off a home workout membership"

When Monzo was taking off, the coral coloured card was a fashion statement. Warhol once said everyone buys the same Coke - from the President to a bum. Now Monzo wants to encourage people to pay a subscription to get an expensive card that nobody would recognise. I don't think they understand themselves anymore and they are definitely not trying to "incentivize better money habits". This article would have made more sense years ago.
IPv4 NFTs will surely become a thing soon.
That was a very fact specific case that ruled that the GA legislature's copyright on the GA code was invalid. It's a stretch to expand that to something like the National Electrical Code or International Building Code since those copyrights are not owned by a legislature.

Good article. Nice calm tone, interesting points. Seems like a good addition to the conversation.
I would probably have made the same off-the-cuff comment before I signed up.

You can make the same comment about YouTube or Twitter, but it all depends on what content you ingest. TikTok's algorithm actually serves me incredible content that is both educational and entertaining and I thoroughly enjoy using the app.

(And I don't consider myself some sort of floozy - I've been using the Net since before the first commercial web sites appeared)
IPv6 is a pain in the ass to work with and think about. We should have added extra octets to IPv4 and been done with it.
Odd perspective to express on a website which is founded upon being early to societal trends.
Unless your coworker configured some plugins or extended some classes, a vanilla tailwind config with JIT-enabled should be all you need.
But since IPv4 has run out there won't be any new assignments?
> It might be great but for now refuse to support anything that further strengthen Googles grip on the market.

The question then becomes: "What else even is out there?"

Because if you're looking for something that's even remotely feature complete for browsing the modern day web, the majority of the current browsers out there are indeed based on Chromium, as expressed in this article, "Firefox is the Only Alternative": https://batsov.com/articles/2021/11/28/firefox-is-the-only-a...

Here's the table from the article in text format:

Browser Based on Chromium Open-source Market Share (desktop + mobile)
Chrome Yes No 64.7%
Chromium Yes Yes -
Edge Yes No 4.0%
Brave Yes Yes -
Vivaldi Yes No -
Opera Yes No 2.4%
Safari No No 19.0%
Firefox No Yes 3.7%

To me it seems like Firefox is the only viable alternative and putting all of our hopes on a singular browser and the company behind it, especially given that there has recently been some controversy around it, seems risky. For example: https://itdm.com/mozilla-firefox-usage-down-85-but-why-are-e... and https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2020/08/firef...
Most people suck at naming things. Also, most companies don’t have a strong culture for choosing names
carefully.

Honestly, I agree with you on the good variable names, but in average team setting I prefer no names than
bad ones.

Anyone who pays attention to the web platform should know by now that any rationale Chrome (or Google in general) developers give for web platform decisions is made up. They repeatedly told us they had specific motives for AMP and it was all a lie, AMP was designed to tighten their grip on the advertising market. It's not the only example - the way their autoplay whitelist works is also transparently manipulative despite lies to the contrary - and I would bet money that MV3 is partially motivated by business incentives in the same way. Googlers' paychecks are signed by Ads and GCP and ad-blockers actively undermine the former.
(Not a lawyer) Generally, at least in the US, when you own a physical object, you can do whatever you want with it that isn't explicitly illegal. This is at least partially represented in the first sale doctrine. For a car, you have a literal entitlement document showing that you own it. What you're not entitled to is any help from the manufacturer to do so, except that repairs can't void a warranty if those repairs didn't cause the problem being warrantied. With regard to batteries, there's no reason someone who owns a Tesla shouldn't be able to replace or upgrade the battery they own on the car they own.
It's not overly linked on Wikipedia, but apparently the Green Light teams were the intended delivery method of tactical nukes in the late 50s / early 60s.

It'd be really great for the Nix project if up-to-date sources for what comes on macOS were available. Probably for MacPorts, too, and maybe even Homebrew.
