> the thing we're motivated to do is the thing we're motivated to do, and it's not whatever I say it is, but apart from that you haven't told me anything about it. That’s just what I mean: I oppose your notion of a un

Not OP, but for a gentle introduction Merlin Sheldrake‘s Entangled Life is pretty amazing.

I think you missed my point. The distinction I made in terminology was on purpose: I used "joy" to describe the inherent motivation for trying to accomplish something, and "bliss" for the state some may try to reach by u

I’d recommend just using a CLI harness in IntelliJ. The user experience is eons ahead, and you don’t miss out on anything other than flashy UI.

Oh! That looks like a nail to me... why not check all file hashes against a CP database? That database could be maintained by, well, some government agency, but don't worry about it, it's gonna be super secure and there's no

Is that really categorically wrong , or is it a correct-enough explanation for laypeople looking for a one-sentence answer?

Now this is just disingenuous. As if the net worth of Jeff Bezos and the rest of the Epstein class was somehow threatened by market fluctuations or some high-risk investments. As long as the economy continues to grow, these people will th

They still pay payroll taxes, among others, which disproportionately affect poor people.

I'm not. I'm saying that the numbers OP stated were misleading. They refer to people with a high income - surgeons, laywers, or engineers -, but not the ultra rich, which don't have a high income in the first place, or it&#

by 9dev 4mo ago
This claim is often repeated but simply misleading. Taxable income is only a tiny fraction of the wealth of ultra rich folks - many even take symbolic wages, because their real compensation happens in stock, which they can use to lend effec

I don't think I did; what you wrote just doesn't really address the problem. Yes, in a few industrial countries, raw materials that can be easily separated will be recycled. But that just isn't the real problem, when all the

Around 9–14% of plastics are recycled worldwide, and almost none of electronics or other products that would have to be disassembled first. I don’t know where "here" is for you, but even a country like Germany only manages to recy

That isn't just CSS modules, then, but additional tooling on top.

Curious how on every post about Malta, new accounts show up and post pro-Malta comments…

Funny how some people here mistake criticism for propaganda...

Respectfully, in the best case you don't really know what you are talking about. These three cities certainly cannot be categorised as tax havens in any sense of the word, and the local legislation is objectively different - as evide

They don't, really. The only thing they solve is side effects, but you'll still want shared conventions across your modules.

by 9dev 4mo ago
Again, this isn't really about difficulty—you can solve problems of arbitrary complexity by establishing a process, guidelines, rules, and documentation. But unless your goal is maximising the number of meetings you need to communicate

Nothing is recycled properly. Recycling was a story told to ease consumers minds so they keep on consuming. The stuff you throw away ends up on a landfill, in the sea, or on a ship to someplace else where it gets burned and then buried. Sen

That is only the case for sites that include the entire, unpruned Tailwind Stylesheet with all utility classes. That’s a choice…

Premature optimisation doesn’t even fully express how absolutely ridiculously futile it is to try and make your website faster by having fewer CSS selectors. It’s like my grandparents worrying about immediately switching off their LED ceili

Sure it's possible, but is it possible for everyone on your team? Including the new hire, the interns, or the now-vibecoding managers? Sooner or later it deteriorates.

> This is what CSS classes were made for. That brings with it the problem of naming a thousand things in a consistent way that everyone on your team needs to understand and remember, otherwise you end up with tons of duplicated classes

by 9dev 4mo ago
What exactly has changed about Tailwind in, like, years? There are a few more properties for new CSS features, a few convenience features (like size-x instead of w-x h-x for the same values of x), but other than that? If you've grown a

You seem to have an axe to grind, but certainly not with me. Being a disruptive technology doesn't say anything about whether it's a constructive or destructive one, but you're going to have a hard time arguing LLMs did n
