does that really help? I have had llms fumble pretty simple stuff in html/css and probably that's what there's more information on the internet, while with simple packages/language…

I would be really excited to see this moving forward - saying as someone who uses Phoenix regularly (and likes it for the most part) and has used react, vuejs, and so on - even at …

wait a minute... OMG https://www.haskell.org/cabal/

It's more hand-wavy than it's admitted. When you think about it, the idea of emergent phenomena amounts to: - There's no underlying consciousness or conscious originator (no god, n…

I don't understand completely why you're being downvoted. I'm european, in favour of GDPR, and I think this is a valid way of doing it. These reactions confuse me the same as using…

That's: a) A theory b) That in no way contradicts the possibility of a continuum where universes may rise, expand, contract and die, only to rinse and repeat c) If nothing can be c…

Unbound technological surveillance in the hands of a few, and police state on the basis of false flags are the stepping stones to RealFreedom™

If time is infinite, it means that everything *must* already have happened *or* can be assumed to have happened, including game over and game restart.

> no house/bike/computer will ever be better ever in the history of the universe. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Yeah, just look at the amazing tech and tools. The fragmentation is by design and doesn't come through languages. And boy, that's some investment on technology you have there going…

That's actually much a feature. Many problems can still be done quite efficiently, for instance stream parsing a file you can have each N newlines being sent to different processes…

> Erlang has a simple memory model that cannot do joint parallel tasks. What do you mean?

For someone so technical you sound quite dumb. Lets hope natural selection is true and works out.

Webpack is also a single file. > Is that bad? Not using Tailwind forces you to have a separate stylesheet that hides tag to property relationships, among other hidden abstractions.…

Thank you, I can be wrong obviously, but your argument in light of our current times would actually indicate that a lot of smart informed people are more tending to idiotic brainle…

Yeah, I don't feel the same pains though.

So yeah, I agree with pre-processing utilities - but this is just the same problem as with CSS and I think the apply idea is actually pretty neat... But... I need to know all those…

But honest question, wouldn't those years of wrestling with the right UI framework be better spent learning the underlying CSS rules and adopting a simple pre-processor that gives …

Yes I did, that's why I'm of that opinion. What it does is force you, as other frameworks, to learn all its intricacies, design decisions, use an heavy and complex development envi…

Sincerely I don't understand what's the appeal of tailwind. It's just one more sign of dementia to add to the landscape.

When the CEO asks what you think about it, just go Chico, this no bueno!

The problem with what you're saying is that it's meaningless without concrete examples? What is "over abstracted code"? Perhaps we agree on this point, but I don't know because whe…

I agree with the no silver bullet thing - and written on another reply I don't even know if I agree with the example in the article. > The fact that a map() function tells you that…

That is true (less so in FP languages though), but the for loop doesn't either - indeed I do prefer it most of the times, I think its a reasonable expectation to provide the most i…

It can definitively happen, but I think more times than not the others are more readable. To be honest this seems to be a familiarity thing > but with reduce you need to know what …
