The article is interesting but really feels unfair sometimes, it doesn't help:

- The whole "amount of CSS" part is unfair when the Semantic CSS implementation isn't responsive at all, so of course it will be lighter, it does less.

- The part about the big number of HTML elements is a bit frustrating too; tailwind doesn't require you to use more HTML tags at all. It's totally possible to redo the Semantic CSS example with tailwind by not adding any HTML tags.

Besides that, it's still interesting to try and compare what is the best between big HTML (atomic, tailwind) vs big CSS (semantic).

Tailwind is not perfect, and sure, sometimes, you can get more performant code by writing it the semantic way. Sometimes.

But tailwind sure is a great way to easily write maintainable CSS in a team with different skill sets, producing really performant code by default, on large web apps.

Who ever did that analysis is an absolute fool. Propagation of such an idea should immediately be shot down.
The earliest implementation (that I know of) of that idea was in 1997. with Inferno OS [0].

One more recent effort that also implements the same idea is the Phantom OS [1].

This GDP argument is useless. Before war Russia had GDP comparable to Italy, it should collapse in a few days after sanctions, and we all know how it went!
Bear in mind that the Tailwind example is the official template made by the Tailwind developers themselves. It is the prime example of Tailwind and it's benefits and best practises. (Should be at least)
suspect it may be falling through a "best guess" type filter, and the default meaning assigned is "phone number". then some other system decides if you're looking for "phone number" but doesn't have anything else to work with, gives you a suicide hotline.

Probably really involves a dozen more layers all run by people who never talk to each other.
Interesting, what would be the correct tool then? Do we have a better one?
My honors analysis class covered it. Although it the professor that taught the class worked in p-adic analysis so he snuck p-adics into the first quarter of the analysis sequence.

> Perpetuates the idea that there's "binary" and "text" [...]

Well, there is binary, and there is text. Sure, all text - like "strawman" ;) - is binary somehow, but not all binary data is text, nor can be even interpreted as such, even if you tried really hard ... like all those poor hex editors.
This was pretty much the norm in the UK.

When the big supermarkets were still selling DVD players they used to sell them region unlocked because people would return them as faulty if they didn't.

If you go to some where like The Range they still sell DVD players and they're all sold as "multi-region" as far as I can see:

> Hundreds of years ago, the Japanese language included words for only four basic colors: black, white, red, and blue. If you wanted to describe something green, you’d use the word for blue—“ao”—and that system worked well enough until roughly the end of the first millennium, when the word “midori” (originally meaning “sprout”) began showing up in writing to describe what we know as green.

There's something going on here that the article doesn't explain.

The new word is written 緑, which is also [the Japanese simplified spelling of] the Chinese word that means green in specific. But the Chinese word has always referred to a color, and it's never meant "sprout" -- the shuowen jiezi, written 800 years before the period the article indicates, defines it "帛靑黃色也"!

So by the time this word is being written down, there is no sense of the concept "sprout" at all.

The article seems to present this as a case of conceptual innovation internal to Japanese, which would have been much cooler than the apparent reality of the Japanese starting to use an already well-established concept more often.

Now I want to know why, if midori originally meant "sprout", it does not seem to have the spelling 芽 ("sprout" - 萌芽也) as a possibility...?

Not all team are homogeneous. go for the friction less solution.
While this is a good point, evidence suggests that the tycoons did pay much more than they currently do on taxes, about 45% in the 50s and 60s: https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-nocera-tax-avoidance-.... If we aim for 90 and get 45, I think that's much better than aiming for 27 and getting 0 as we have today.

It also seems that this was the time where many loopholes were invented. I think it would be easier to find a way to deal with those loopholes than trying to find that money elsewhere in society as we currently do.
it's just CSS yes, with the focus on naming your classes depending on the content you style instead of their looks. "article-excerpt" instead of "bg-white padding-2 shadow rounded".
I don't understand the point behind your statement.

Can you try and cut down on the emotive language like "obsessed", "screeching", etc?

It heightens emotions and lowers the tone of discussion from curious to conflict driven.

Ideally use wording that you think the people you are talking about would agree fairly represents their views. (E.g. for your first sentence, do you think half of HN commentators would agree that they are "obsessed with trying to "gotcha" electric cars, any form of power generation other than nuclear,"?)
They have massive amounts of debt and it's becoming a problem which is likely one of the reasons they're trying to hide the data. It's provincial debt and state company debt which is mainly internal so I don't really understand the implications of it.
I strongly doubt a reasonably designed "semantic" design can be half-forgotten after taking a break; the fine points of the implementation of sophisticated rules (e.g. why did we put the left border on the parent and the right border on the child) might suffer from obsolescence and lack of documentation, but the markup structure and the names should be obvious.

Forgetting what plethora of non-semantic classes should be used on what elements seems a far more likely problem.

However, most fridges are stocked with the same order, so I can just sub-cortically go to the fridge and look to the exact point to see whatever I want is there or not.

I do my shopping like that. First fridge set, third fridge, bottom shelf: Milk. Same set, last fridge, second shelf, right: My favorite cheese. That's time efficient.
If you read any Chinese/Japanese literature, for example Buddhist or zen texts, it is very common to encounter very weird uses of the words blue or green-- because they mean things that somebody used to these distinct categories will classify nature according to these boxes. Trees are green, bodies of water blue -- even if that is more complex than that, some pines can be very blue, rivers or lakes can be much greener than blue, etc.

Some translators avoid this issue by always using the term "blue/green", which is really awkward, and I couldn't find any explanation for it before learning about "the crayola-ification of the world" [0]. Before I thought that was a poetic literary device.

It is really hard not to think of the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis when learning about this. At the same time, taoist philosophy tends to point out that misery comes from our mind's discriminating eye; everything is categorized in boxes, good and bad, concept and not-concept. Maybe having more categories is better from a technical standpoint, but more difficult to handle from a spiritual standpoint? At the same time, this spiritual view tend to see man as needing to overcome his beastly nature, and thus this added technical discrimination is not burden since it is simply part of the path towards a higher level of consciousness?

As vague as 青 might be, I'd have to allow that it's a more accurate description of the color of a grape than "white" is.
As long as you are willing to study how your distribution does packaging, adding a build flag to already packaged tool is actually easier:

You could ask your package manager (or a distro build tool) to point you to the source code and scripts which were used to compile the package, install build dependencies, tweak the build, and rebuild. The hard work starts when you need to maintain your tweak on top of existing package in a long run.

I would rather say that as long as you are using build which is done by 3rd party (such as your GNU/Linux distro and not the author of the original project), rebuilding from source should be possible, since both original project and the builder needs to follow certain protocols and expectations for that to work (using common way to share code, using standardized build systems in a clean way ...). What hurts the open source approach is a case when the project doesn't follow usual conventions as it doesn't expect people to rebuild it and provides static binary builds as a main way to use it instead.

No, private companies are spending their customer's money. If they spent less, costs to the customers would be less. All our fancy offices, high salaries and bonuses need to be paid for and in my company this is partially by selling legally mandated services that people have to purchase.

The regular claims "taxes stop x,y & x" be it risk taking, R&D, investments or whatever, don't seem to actually have much consistent evidence. It's yet another economics theory, most of which are more opinion than proven rules.

What seems to make the biggest difference is the stability of markets and perceived benefit. When tax rates are consistent or even declining, risk taking & investments drops when the economy is uncertain. If a company thinks there's money to be made, they're not going to sit back and do nothing based on if the tax they pay on that is 23% or 25%.
I trained as a linguist and you hit the nail on the head.

Word meanings are fuzzy clouds of references and nuances, and every language has slightly different clouds. There is nothing magical about this, despite the recurrent lizard-brain notion that words or names are somehow mystical and intrinsic, and that these differences must somehow be meaningful.

Differences are quite common with colour terms - you don’t need to go to Japanese (blue-green) or Ancient Greek (wine dark sea) for this. My own (European) first language draws a slightly different word cloud around the colours pink and purple than English does, for example. One word is only for hot pink, and the other is for purple and non-hot pinks.

I assure you I see these colours the same as you do. If I were to use the English word “purple” to refer to more of a pink hue, it would be a mere language interference error, not some mystical Saphir-Whorf insight into the culturally-conditioned operation of my retinas.

Words are not perception. This is such a pernicious bit of nonsense, and journalists and writers are especially susceptible to it because it flatters them, in their role as word-smiths. Languages are way more interesting than this pseudo-intellectual mysticism.

The Japanese are just as capable of distinguishing blue and green as anyone else, and they use blue traffic lights for the same reason they drive on the left - because it doesn’t actually matter what convention they pick, so long as everyone agrees on it and sticks to it.
But the second world war did end in a decisive victory? Hitler simply bit off more than he could chew by making war with pretty much everyone else, more or less the same mistake Napoleon made.

"Decisive victory" is a bit tricky to define; the Soviets and US has had some trouble in Afghanistan, but the Taliban won pretty decisively – twice. First in the civil war of the 90s, and more recently against the Afghan government after the US left. On the other hand all these conflicts are related, and who knows what the future will bring?

Vietnam war ended in a fairly decisive victor for North-Vietnam, the US defeated the Iraqi government without too much trouble (but then had a lot more trouble with other groups).

If we look at past wars then long-lasting conflicts weren't too rare: the Protestant/Catholic religious wars took forever, the wars of the roses in England, 80 years war between Netherlands and Spain, etc. etc.
Amazing work! I just came back from Angkor, Cambodia and I wish there was a similar reconstruction for that place also.
Not actually related to C++ (besides one of the slides about MISRA C++), but rather conceptual, management and process aspects (standards, functional safety, etc.).
The coupling is in the right direction: designing possibly very advanced CSS to get a desired appearance from a given good markup, instead of compromising markup to simplify CSS.
We don't want them to be losing money because that prevents competition since no one can compete with that. It's a monopolistic practice.
This article makes some bold, false claims. What is true is that Tailwind will generally result in a bigger stylesheet over the wire than if you hand-write CSS. That's a well understood trade-off, made in exchange for several benefits.

But then the article suggests that every claimed benefit of Tailwind actually doesn't exist, and that Tailwind is in fact worse on all fronts. He seems genuinely to believe that there is no merit in Tailwind's huge success at all, that it must entirely be explained as arbitrary flocking behaviour. What idiots we must be, going to all this effort to write bulkier CSS, more slowly, with less flexibility! I have to guess that the author has not given it a fair trial (i.e. using it on a real project in earnest) before coming to his conclusions, nor had any good conversations with old-timer CSS experts who love CSS and love Tailwind. He's jumped to the conclusion it's a thing noobs like because they find CSS too hard.

I made a similar assumption at first, that Tailwind was just another horrible "CSS-in-JS" type thing, which I always felt were for front-end newbies who were so reluctant to just learn how CSS works that they'd be seduced by shiny packaging and use horrible JS contortions to 'shield' themselves from inheritence and cascading (which are actually useful, powerful aspects of CSS when understood).

But then I started to notice its hype cycle felt different, that even a few old school traditionalists seemed hooked on it, and I tried it out in earnest on a project. And I soon realised it's a very rare thing: a real innovation in front end, the kind that comes along every 5-10 years, up there with the component paradigm. It's not another CSS-in-JS thing at all. With Tailwind, you are writing CSS, in a very real sense. And thus your success with it is highly correlated by how well you can write CSS by hand – it is not an alternative to learning CSS; it is an extra, more advanced thing you should learn after learning how to do handwritten CSS well. What it brings is a beautifully designed build layer that justifies its own existence better than any other build layer I have seen 20 years of front end development. It gives you a massive net reduction in 'indirection', letting you style things right where they are. And it reimagines style 'reusability' in a way that (to be as succinct as I can) prevents your styles ossifying your DOM structure too early during the creative styling process. These are some of the reasons why Tailwind has blazed through the industry the way it has. Not because we don't understand CSS and want to avoid it, but because we want to write more of it, quicker and more flexibily.
I've got a lot of sympathy for this point of view, as I drive a fully depreciated fifteen year old petrol car that is starting to rust through, but .. when you need to replace it you can just buy a secondhand one?

Environmentally it's almost certainly better to continue using an existing vehicle than to manufacture a new one. It's when you come to buy a new one that the choice matters.

Interestingly, depreciation is really dramatic on EVs. But there's also a high degree of churn. Companies introduce small EV models and then pull them entirely, so the old ones fall off a cliff value wise. I feel that savvy secondhand buyers could do fine.

The mediaeval Catholic philosopher/theologian Thomas Aquinas argued [0] that the primary purpose of marriage is for the good of children, by giving them certainty about their own paternity.

Red cabbage or Blue Cabagge, in northern Germany is also called red cabbage (Rotkohl), same color for some regions of Austria and Switzerland (Rotkraut).

In southern Germany it is called Blue Cabagge (Blaukraut).

If you ask people in Germany what the color of the vegetable is, they will answer "purple" (lila). There are some strange ways in the evolution of a language, depending on the region and events in the region.

It's normal, whatever normal means in this case, to think that a color is the same as a similar hue, in my example above, between red and blue you can find purple, violet "lilac" hues.

As a personal anecdote, the name for (orange) carrot in Southern Bavarian dialect is Gelberübe, Rübe for root vegetable and Gelb for yellow, also yellow is connected with orange in the brain and the language of the people.

A purple carrot has the honor to be called "lilane GelbeRübe", or purple yellow vegetable root in English.
I watched the complete Carlin HBO specials about five years ago, from the 1970s up to the last one he did, and they are very anodyne at the beginning. Having watched a few documentaries about his career, they don't necessarily reflect the risks he was taking live sometimes; but really, if you watch those specials, he seems to evolve from a tediously corporate comedian into a hilarious and unstoppable force of nature. So I can understand how people would have the perception that he started out generic, as that was what the public saw in popular output he made.
No, governments are not piggy banks, you don't get out what you put in. People pay taxes for the general betterment of the country and everyone benefits from a stable country with a healthy population, which are things you can't really place a monetary value on.
Ask HN: What software diagrams have made a difference I your decision making?
When it comes to diagrams in software development many things and opinions can be discussed, and often are, about the use of diagrams in software development (and -architecture): UML, not UML, C4, types of diagrams (e.g. class diagram vs component diagram etc), 4+1 model, level of detail, auto generate or not, and so on. All of the discussion is good, and there will never be one true answer.

What I would love to hear about is a very pragmatic and individual question:

What types of SW diagrams have actually made a difference for you/your team in a decision making situation?

I know that diagrams often have good use when it comes to explaining a system to a new hire, or other person not already familiar with the system.

I’m more curious if anyone have used diagrams in an analytical situation and as input to a design decision. Have you used diagrams in a way that gave you some insights into a problem that you couldn’t get just by taking about it? Have you used diagrams to show that solution A is better than solution B?
> On the other hand, the hypothesis that a Turing machine on its own could generate conscious experiences leads to many seemingly absurd scenarios. Notably, one has to ask how a simulation of supposedly conscious Turing machine using pen and paper could possibly be conscious, or indeed, why one would need to "run" a Turing machine for consciousness to arise and why a mere description of it would not suffice.

Applying this logic, heat is also fundamentally mysterious. What even is heat? Heat definitely exists, but is a mere description of it enough? If I run the simulation of a universe with heat; is that heat?
