  • Ngl I love tailwind, I’ve been through so many different css paradigms

    • separate css files: why did we ever do this, if you’ve ever used kendo’s css stuff you’ll understand how unfathomable hundreds of thousands of lines of css with complex rules is. Identifying all the things that affect a single component is the work of dozens of minutes at minimum, sometimes hours, you have to understand every nook and cranny of the css spec.
    • inline styles: fine, but verbose and requires object spreading, harder to compose, theming is tough and requires discipline to be consistent in your theme conventions, almost impossible to also theme imported library components
    • module.css with imported classes: my go to outside of tailwind
    • scss: I actually really like scss but it exacerbates the complexity and mystery of css, great for small projects but terrible as projects bloat
    • bootstrap: basically just worse tailwind, providing only components and colors

    That’s all I can think of right now, but tailwind is my preferred way to style a new project, I love how easy theming and style consistency is




  • We have one in an upstairs bedroom from midea, the window slides right between the front and back of the unit and it’s excellent. Our power consumption didn’t increase too terribly much and it’s actually decently quiet.

    Not gonna put the model here but just look for U shaped window units. It has little legs that go outside.

    Don’t get the inside standing units, they’re massive, loud, power hungry, and most of them are less effective than even the cheap window units.

    If the marriage was traditional and the spouse was coerced by either pregnancy or culture to give up aspirations or education, I think alimony is absolutely essential. That person gave up their dreams for a relationship and alimony could help them recover their skills.

    If the marriage was modern and both spouses were equally educated and have professions? Alimony is stupid and archaic.

    For spousal support I assume you mean while married, I think it’s a weird power dynamic to give a significant other money directly.






  • “Which is bad news for developers”

    Nah, we’ve been through lots of iterations of community for developers, irc, maillists, forums, stackoverflow, etc. Most of my complex questions go through specific discord communities now. I’m not trying to spend a year editing a single post because some swamp ass weanie on stackoverflow has his nose covered in rule dust.

    Yes ai has changed the game a bit, but it is not removing community, it’s mostly just cutting down on the question duplication

    My most recent foray into a new technology was working with vulkan in rust on a mac, stackoverflow is useless compared to the vulkan discord.


  • Binary search, there are so many instances where problems in life can be solved by eliminating half of a given set repeatedly.

    Blender broken? There are only so many things that can go wrong, analyze the situation and try to find something that cuts your problem in half.

    1. Is the light on? It’s not electricity and that’s a huge chunk of what makes a blender work.
    2. Light not on? Well now you’ve eliminated (temporarily) mechanical systems and electrical remains. Further splitting that part of the blender means either house power or internal blender power, check the outlet with another machine

    This approach involves further splitting the problem into 2 as evenly as possible each time. It doesn’t make sense to whip out the multimeter if the on light isn’t shining, you don’t need to check on your house’s breakers if the light is on, etc.

    This system works for troubleshooting almost anything, all you have to do is find chokepoints and identify sections of your target. Toilet not flushing, faucet not on, car not starting, neck pain, allergies, it’s almost harder to think of something it doesn’t apply to.


  • Life is often not about how hard you work or how good you are, it’s often just about how lucky you have been. Were you born fortunate, were you lucky enough to get the job you needed, lucky to have been taught and understand financial literacy, lucky enough to avoid major health complications, lucky enough to be “smart” etc.

    Frankly it’s incredible that we live as long as we do with the utter lack of compassion and community in the world.

    I’m not going to financially contribute to your cause, which makes me complicit in your suffering, I’m sorry for that. I hope that your suffering is reduced and that your “luck” improves.


  • I’ve made apps in tons of different ways, kotlin with jetpack compose, react native, cordova, old school java activities.

    Imo cross platform is the way to go, react native has been the easiest to maintain for me, I have 4 production react native apps that have been fairly successful and easy to maintain. My two biggest complaints are the difficulty of running on desktop, and the pain of upgrading react native versions. Expo sucks but it’s the best we have and does help with upgrading.

    Flutter is fine, dart is not my favorite but it’s definitely worth looking into.

    I looked into the tiktok platform, didn’t really speak to me tbh
