I'm at a point now where I'm not even a little interested in new frameworks. I want tried and tested. Preferably something that has been around for 15 years.

I'm absolute putting Linux on my mother's computer when she needs a new one again.

I ran Linux Mint on my 2015 MacBook Pro for a long time. Maybe in the near future Linux will run well on Apple silicon as well.

Less wrong is created by Eliezer Yudkowsky. Someone who is very outspoken against AI development, because of the fears around AI destroying humanity. Once went as far as calling fo…

Paying 3rd parties for gold, items, or xp was a Diablo 2 thing. They specifically designed Diablo 4 to make this hard to impossible. You can't trade legendary items. They're accoun…

There is a base alternative, which I'm going to choose, and that's just to use social media less. Not going back to Reddit even if another alternative doesn't pop up.

And their app is so bad compared to the 3rd party ones. I quite liked RIF.

My 11 year account was just banned as well. I don't remember posting anything terrible recently. So not sure what's going on, but I won't be appealing or making a new account or go…

> we have chosen to put the burden for paying for those losses on all of the other banks But isn't it likely to cause more bank runs if depositors lost money? So in a real sense, m…

That is still routing. Not load balancing. The load balancing is only between pods of the same service. Just because Nginx is doing it, doesn't mean it's load balancing. It's an ex…

I don't really think of route based "load balancing" as load balancing. That's routing, or a reverse proxy. Not load balancing. Load balancing is a very specific type of reverse pr…

You can have more than one server per monolith. I don't think you actually understand what microservices are. You don't put a load balancer to load balance between different servic…

I want to see the company where the HTML and CSS are handled by separate teams.

For me Tailwind is sort of a shortcut to learning best practices. If I had to research and figure out best practices on my own it would take ages. Instead I can just see what Tailw…

It's only slightly more work than creating re-usable CSS.

Some people would rather learn every CSS rule than spend 10 minutes reading the Tailwind docs.

What make it difficult to main long term for you?

Hard disagree on that one. You can learn Tailwind in an evening.

This is probably the main thing that puts people in one camp or the other. Before Tailwind came along I very often found myself just wanting to put some inline styling in various p…

Semantically named classes is a lot of effort to come up with, and don't really help much. One of the big selling points is that you can quickly style things without having to name…

Being bad at CSS is certainly why I love it. But that doesn't mean it's not a great tool for experienced frontend developers as well.

Fuzzy searching generally doesn't mean exactly the same thing as typo correcting or other full text search features. It's more like you can search using word parts. Similar to how …

I'd love a Spotify/Netflix subscription for books, if it can get me almost every book.
