Most of the stigma just comes from people on HN. Start by fixing that.

I mean, I don't think anyone would mind that. Or advertisers for that matter.

Don't use Tailwind, it's garbage.
Re:Tailwind JIT fails to credit Windi CSS on Thursday March 25, 2021 @01:45PM (#26583197)
The "subset of people" known as "good developers." Lately they haven't been creating and maintaining web apps because of things like Tailwind.

Wow, what a moron.
Doubtful since they have an option for at-rest encryption.

The reason XML didn't take over the world, and we're left with this mess of garbage for a front end, is because of bad developers like you. Mistakes in the past are no reason to continue making mistakes in the future. From your example, the obvious solution would be to write better markup instead of writing worse styles.
Re:Why I don't like Tailwind CSS on Thursday March 11, 2021 @04:14PM (#26429093)
It's really sad to see novice developers rediscover and revisit arguments from decades ago, but that's really the curse of software development, isn't it? Why does Tailwind CSS even have some kind of brand name? It's just bad CSS. It doesn't need a name.
It prompts you every time and can be configured to have a default option.
You are being transparent. SQLite was developed _for_ war machines, with that as its foundation. The code of ethics is merely an attempt to whitewash its history. The founders are shameful for their lack of self awareness.
One great feature is that when you add images in FairEmail, it removes metadata, renames the file and other privacy-preserving data.
Wild that software that was developed for guided missile destroyers has " Do not murder. ", " Love your enemies. ", " Hate no one. " etc. in their Code of Ethics.

Re:Proprietary Software Is Often Malware on Tuesday February 02, 2021 @02:44PM (#26005611)
That is... the definition of malware. I notice that lately people have been moving the goalposts so they can justify things like hidden telemetry as not being spyware.
Re:Nq – A simple Unix job queue system on Tuesday January 26, 2021 @07:25PM (#25922712)

    $ make jq -j2 -f - <<EOF
    file1:
            wget file1
    file2:
            wget file2
    jq: file1 file2
            jq file1 file2
    EOF
Could probably make some syntactic sugar for this.
Re:Never Ever Use NixOS on Saturday January 23, 2021 @09:07AM (#25882301)
I find it's more often intermediate programmers who don't want to invest the time in learning advanced tools like Haskell or NixOS.
Re:Never Ever Use NixOS on Saturday January 23, 2021 @09:06AM (#25882298)
Feel free to move away. NixOS isn't supposed to be popular, it's supposed to be correct.

This is just an uninformed rant.
Re:FedEx shipping damage creates fractured artworks on Wednesday January 20, 2021 @05:23PM (#25852756)
Most often yes, but it depends on the gallery. The ones that have the big "no photography" signs are a giveaway.
Re:I tried creating a web browser and Google blocked me (2019) on Wednesday January 20, 2021 @03:20PM (#25851434)
You are correct. This is just for Google's benefit, as you can imagine. They are Google, after all.
Yes. CamelCase is such, you're referring to mixedCase. (The first letter is the camel's head.)
