Our ancestors often had an abundance of food and ate quite a lot every day even if it was relatively more expensive. But, it’s harder to be obese and have by todays standards an extremely active lifestyle.

Not only do you run into limits on the digestive system but carrying extra weight means spending more energy moving that weight around. The classic lumberjack breakfast is just an insane amount of food, but you didn’t see a lot of fat lumberjacks in the 1850’s.
I use Sublime Text, but I’ve also used VSCode, as well as a lot of other similar editors. I haven’t had a reason to use IntelliJ, but I’m sure it would work the same way.

Using development tools as a flatpak is usually not a good idea for many reasons. That’s why Silverblue ships with Toolbox (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-silverblue/toolb...).

Flatpaks are kind of like Android APKs, except unlike Android, there’s actually an operating system worth interacting with. An IDE on Android usually needs to include all of the tools it needs. A flatpak is the same, except that’s hard to get right for every development setup, so a toolbox just lets you do whatever you want with it. They’re podman containers with extra features to integrate with the host.

I have all of my development tools installed in a single toolbox, and have .desktop files for the GUI ones so that I can launch them from the KDE app menu as if they were regular apps. With this setup I can use e.g. clangd with the LSP plugin in Sublime Text, execute CMake, use the embedded terminal (Terminus), or the debugger plugin with lldb.
I'm sorry, but I can't explain it. Some people are sentimental and are attached to items and memories. People are different. It's important for me for some reason, which I can't comprehend.
Totally different. If an agent is actually an agent, it isn't fraud. If an agent legitimately has a buyer lined up already, depending on the market, it's likely worth the 3%.

I frequently search for a particular vendor of something by name only to be served another similar vendor as the top result.
It feels like it should be doable to serve these results in some sort of "you may also like these similar vendors" box or something like that which would massively improve the user experience
Ubuntu used to have security support for "main" only. All other software, e.g. in "universe" had patches trickle in from debian but no dedicated support. This is particularly problematic for long or extended LTS when debian has dropped the old stable release that would be pulling from.

"Ubuntu pro" is basically trying to fix this shortcoming compared to debian and to pay for a security team for universe. It is available as a subscription.

TLDR: If you use software from main it is completely irrelevant. If you use stuff from universe it is now as good as debian, if you pay (first 5 devices are free).

The difference here is that we're not trying to force you to use Tailwind. You asked "What is it about everyone using Tailwind?" and we responded, but you refuse to accept our answers and keep arguing that we're uninformed and wrong for using something we love.

Your copy pasting analogy makes no sense because "syntax highlighting" was referring to you trying to convince me to stop using something I can't live without and had nothing to do with Tailwind. Anyway, nothing wrong with copy pasting code and avoid premature abstractions until they are needed. Being religious about DRY and trying to shoehorn subsequent iterations of similar code into an inflexible abstraction leads to unmaintainable monstrosities.

>>I have recruiters beating down my LinkedIn and email literally every day for pretty decent jobs.

A few of those jobs might even really exist!

I am of the opinion that the vast majority of inquiries I get from linked in (at least 5 a week) are from scammers and brand-new or desperate recruiters just looking to collect resumes to add to their database. I pretty much ignore all linkedin inquiries at this point - it has been taken over by scammer and hucksters.
That would be Contextualise (https://github.com/brettkromkamp/contextualise) with 980 stars. The project is 3-4 years old. So, it's slow-going. Nevertheless, there are many (underappreciated) projects that should have a lot more stars than they do, so I am not complaining :)

This is exactly the situation Tailwind prevents.

Unless your team has incredible discipline, CSS across a large system very often becomes a tangled mess where you can’t change one thing without unintentionally affecting another.

When you change the Tailwind classes on an element, you know there’s no risk of subtly breaking something somewhere else.

>Are there any inherently stable/noise free/non-Volatile Quantum Computing methods, at all?

No, but there are methods (quantum error correction) that allow you to simulate noise free qbits with multiple, slightly noisy qbits. The main challenge here is that you need to start with quite good qbits for this error correction to actually help.

Most enterprise class registrars (registry =/= registrar) are brand protection and brand monitoring services. Quite expensive for individuals and probably not in the price range of OP, according to the description of his circumstances.

I've used name.com, namecheap.com, sav.com and porkbun.com as registrars without difficulty, although one will always find anecdotal reports of problems other users have had with any service.

GoDaddy, on the other hand, is to be avoided. It's like the PayPal of domains. Awful customer service and dark patterns everywhere.

> The US has been filled to the brim with cars for decades - yet this is a modern phenomenon.

I think you may underestimate the degree to which US infrastructure has failed to keep up with increasing use of cars.

The interstate highway system was built in the post-WWII years. It was designed to cope with the amount of traffic that existed then, plus a reasonable buffer for growth. It actually did a pretty good job of keeping up for at least a few decades. Anecdotally, growing up in NYS in the '80s and '90s, I-90 (aka the NYS Thruway) was a perfectly reasonable road to drive along.

As the 2000s came, it was already starting to get crowded. These days, I always have to weigh the extra speed and directness of the Thruway against the stress of driving among so many cars—and, especially, so many tractor trailers, including many double-length trailers.

Other roads may not get quite the same concentration of additional traffic as interstates, but as car ownership in general has trended up, more and more places have filled up with them.

As for guns...yes, lots of people have had lots of guns for centuries. But in 1999, the Columbine shooting showed that disaffected young people could get massive media attention if they shot up a school and then killed themselves. It has been fairly well proven by now that the media attention given to these events is a significant driver of more such. You even comment on this, but don't appear connect it to the rise of mass shootings in the modern era.

There's also a second phenomenon at work here. There's been a very strong streak of sensationalism in the media about children in danger that, from what I've seen, mostly started in the early '90s. There was a prominent disappearance in the Upstate NY area around that time (the Sarah Ann Wood case) that stayed in headlines for years; the JonBenét Ramsey case was also in the mid-'90s, and much more nationally sensationalized.

In general, there was an increase in pushing the "stranger danger" idea during that time, and...guess who are the parents now? The people who were young and impressionable growing up during that era.
Consultant with 20+ years of field experience here. What I get tasked with mostly is code-reviews for security and performance, and fixing elusive (and painful) bugs. My specialty is to be able to rush in and take over from quitting employees and then train a replacement hire, or just help "put out fires". Over the years I've developed an intuition for where bugs hide. I just need an employee who works with the codebase to explain how the bug manifests. From there I can usually nail it in a short while. In short: experience gets paid.

Might be just an effect in your bubble. Globally, Tesla is expanding like crazy, both revenue and profit.

People on Twitter obsess all the time about what is "insulting", but most of the market could not care less about Twitter crowd sensitivities. Indeed, it is remarkable how little effect do all these shitstorms have; and, vice versa, the fact that some corporation has loudly joined the woke bandwagon, does not cause any jumps in their revenue or even stability. Many of the DEI-infested tech companies are now laying off people by the thousands.

TL;DR: An average consumer does not care the slightest bit about the latest outrages on the fronts of the culture wars.
Can you describe how you fine tuned it? I still haven't quite got my head around how fine tuning works for anything other then "if input like this, the answer should be X" (eg training it to add categories).
You can do it with extensions. However most of the time you are not going to need it.
Yep and nope, but thank you!
I’m fine with a find and replace at build time with xl:text-bold xl:p-4 for that very reason, that would be my expectation.

Yes you can make utility classes for typography styles..that’s entirely the point of extending the framework, they are extremely clear that you should even.
None of this precludes the idea that it is configurable to the point of making it a better solution for one’s needs.

Personally the vanilla extract example looks like literal boilerplate hell for any sort of actually complex application. It might make complete sense if the whole thing was based on a declarative template where the objects also define elements but here it is just SCSS done elsewhere.

The reason why people like Tailwind at build time is that it removes a step of defining classes out of the flow and puts all your styles in one place. That is the innovation: mental, not technical. I have a pet theory that Tailwind is more preferred by those with ADHD as it completely removes a mental blocker element.
I think the other problem, more serious I think, is that shady practices make more money. I like to think in the long term honest practices make more money from lifetime customer value, but cynically fear that from a profit maximization standpoint shady results in most money for the industry.
I have a suspicion it's because you setup the gmail account and the immediately linked it to another service. I did the same thing a few years ago where I was signing up for a service I didn't entirely trust. The new gmail is disabled by the end of the first day with the same vague message.

If I need to do that again I'll use a different email provider.

I don't believe there is a quantum computer that exists with a single stable logical qubit. I may be wrong, but if so, at best I think it's in the single-digits.

What the media reports is physical qubits (and hence not useful for computation), rather than logical.

Regulatory capture has nothing to do with corruption. Regulatory capture is when businesses benefit from complex regulation because the competitive moat that the regulation gives them is more valuable than the cost (so high that only huge companies can afford it) to comply. Large businesses like moats and regulators like to regulate. No coordination required. Actual corruption, at least in the US, is much less common.
That's kind of you, but will hopefully never be necessary.
I don't doubt that experience, and I also have the comparison between humans and GPT and see where you are coming from. However, the advice still stands, in my eyes. If we recommend to check even simple python for correctness, how much more should we tell people to not trust LLMs when it comes to much more complex and influential things like therapy?

Also, you and some others might be able to understand the limitations of LLMs. It is the general public that I am worried about.
To drastically age myself, I loved Defender of the Crown in 1986.

It is probably one of the most memorable games of my childhood.

Yet, sadly, glancing at it now, it has aged poorly. I don't see the magic I did then. I guess I'm (lots) older and jaded by the generations of games between then and now. I've never had a great memory for the right sort of details from my childhood to explain why, but emotionally at the least, DOTC was a fantastic game for a young geeky kid in the 80s.

Package managers before nix simply didn’t solve the problem properly - they left behind garbage, couldn’t properly deal with multiple versions of the same package, etc. Easy way to check whether the package manager you have in mind is “sufficient” is to install the gnome group and the plasma group and remove them. How many orphan packages will you have as a result?

It is not a cult, people just like proper solutions to problems, and nix is unique in this regard.
I remember the UK using its anti-terrorist laws to freeze Icelandic banks assets during the financial crisis. There is a probability 1.00 that this will be used for purposes that have absolutely nothing to do with the pretext used to pass the bill. So it's a pointless exercise to debate about that pretext. The only thing that matters is what right does that give the government?

I ve worked in an equivalent of lending tree. Literally no one in our company, no one, cared about loans. We were a marketing front for banks, spoke only to banks, optimized "funnels" to, well, funnel the poor souls to them, whatever the law allowed us to do. I had never met any sort of "lending expert" in that company, only SEO experts, data miners, adwords optimizers, former bank marketing managers, email copywriters, javascript programmers, etc.

I work in a bank now, and we can calculate interest rate, understand consumer default profiles, calculate acceptable risk ratio for our own capital, all those stuff that have to do with loans.

Point is, you cannot expect an externalized marketing department to do what you suggest. They dont care about borrowers one bit, lending is not their jobs. Banks just want to start a relationship with people and send whatever they can to whomever present an email adress, and they ll pay their marketing guys by the amount of converted leads.
Setting aside the question of whether signal are the good guys or not it's important for non-UK people to understand the political context here.

The conservative party is eating itself. They have forced 2 leaders to resign in the last year and are trailing in the polls so are terrified of the next election. They won convincingly at the last election on the basis of a "red wall" strategy that involved an appeal to traditionally labour voters who were Euroskeptic and by throwing dog-whistles about immigration to appease people on the right wing of their own party who were thinking of defecting to the UK independence party. All that support is unravelling and they ended up having to do a humilitating deal with the Unionist party in Northern Ireland which is unravelling because their policies there (the so called "Northern Ireland protocol") threaten to undo the peace process and importance of preserving the peace process is just about the only thing the two sides in Northern Ireland agree on.

There is also a cost of living crisis with strikes across multiple groups of public sector workers.

So right now there is lots of "Performance politics" with policies designed to look tough and appeal to socially conservative right-wingers in an effort to shore up a weak government. Just this week we had the policy to insist that asylum seekers fill in a questionnaire in English no matter where they came from, and now this which they can spin as being tough on crime. I would highly doubt any of the people behind this bill have any interest in the technical pros and cons.
