This guy is absolutely right - the C in CSS stands for cascading.

What Tailwind is doing is rewriting the whole thing that CSS is and putting it into easy-to-write classes. This could be handy to you, yes, but unfortunately you're missing the whole point of CSS which is to have cascaded stylings.

To help you understand this a little bit better, one could have a look at why CSS was invented and where it comes from:

In the desktop publishing world (books, newspapers, etc.) this kind of cascading layout rules were used long before there was the first HTML page on the web. This should be nothing to be mixed up with regular programming. Change your view on that thing and you will understand.

It may sound harsh but Tailwind is a way to tell "I'm a programmer, I don't understand CSS and I'm not further interested into".

Cascading may be good for publishing, but the many benefits of cascading don't really play in your favor when you are trying to use the web as a platform to make _applications_. Documents are mostly static; apps have a lot of moving parts. Apps are a lot more complex than documents.

I see the source is in the tar.zst file and there is documentation for uncompressing it.

Only I spent minutes looking for the git repo link... There is none?

Unfortunately the whole world population is addicted to ~5 sites/apps on the web who will play the game.

If Debian patches this out, you won't be able to access those sites. That's a living edge case for them.

I think the right way of dealing with this is to have a button to switch between secure mode and insecure/government mode.

True. For the IPFS case they're not recording the IP addresses for possible blackmail. But that's just an idea.

Aside from saving money, they're doing it also to generate sales.

In iPhone 15 the missing button will be the feature. Some years later, say in iPhone 18, the re-introduced button will be the feature.

All that happened before with Apple devices. They took away the form factor of the original iPhone SE without replacement just to bring it back with the iPhone 13 Mini. Also they took away the ports of MacBooks to end up with an USB-C port only - and now - the latest 14" MacBooks reintrudice a wide range of ports as a.. can you guess?

Don't worry, the Mini is going away. It's not profitable (enough).

However, the increased haptics and strain sensor costs are unlikely to be made up directly by button cost savings. It does make it much easier to seal the entire thing and it may reduce volume (more battery), or increase "functionality", but I think it is to some extent (as others have mentioned) it's really the final step in Steve Jobs long bitter personal war on the button.

Really, I worry more that there may be no way to reliably reset your phone once they remove the USB cable and everything is wireless.

The original iPhone SE and iPhone Mini designs are not the same.

Obsidian (or Roam, Logseq, or Athens) feels like a different vehicle for information, it's useful when notetaking something that needs more structure (like a class).

nvAlt (and Simplenote) has felt better for faster scribbles or notes that are technical cheatsheets and such.

I don’t know. I used nvAlt daily for many years, then Ulysses, then Obsidian as of a few weeks go. They feel very similar to me.

They are all “very fast text editors that store your notes in a folder of text files and search them instantly.” I don’t think that the category needs a more specific definition than that.

Depends on what you feel about Electron apps? :)

It's a question of the topic. Some topics need to be handled synchronously. And if you don't answer in a conversation this is legitimately perceived as "rude".

If the topic of this conversation is whether or not IM should be considered synchronous, then this argument doesn't hold up. If I take one side and suppose that IM should not be synchronous, then obviously the mistake in your case is on the individual that tried to use it for a topic that needed to be synchronous. The not-responding person is not wrong in that case since they're ostensibly using the method of communication as intended.

Part of it is that, in many cases, we've normed not calling people on the phone out of the blue. And, while some may disagree, we often do need some reasonably real-time communication channel. Someone may not see a message instantly but it is reasonable to have some mechanism in a business setting to generally reach people quickly--if for example, there're supposed to be someplace.

It seems to be a problem with the 2-3px between the columns. Should be easy to fix.

Take it as a good opportunity to ditch Instagram and Meta forever! ;)

I kind of love Instagram. There is no place like it. Ads are also on-point and something I'd buy. That said, I also love Pinterest that most HN community hates (and rightfully so, it is spamming search results). Where else can I subscribe to Vaporware aesthetics channel and find similar images of 1980's K-mart receipts? Pinterest is absolutely incredible for this sorts of things. Instagram is visual culture. No politics, no rage, no clickbaits, just super cool images - you could probably do those things but that's not how I use it. It is the least toxic place for me on the internet and I love it.
