Seems interesting but the github repos seem private. Github links from the docs dont work.

learning new things

I wonder lately, doesn't that all new knowledge push out the old knowledge? As in new things replace old things we know. I don't know any studies on this but do we have infinite capacity for knowledge?

What about retaining it? I catch myself asking AI wondering about random things that pop into my head, reading it, maybe using that knowledge once and later no longer remembering what it was. Maybe if you use that knowledge in practice from the get go but projects get so complicated sometimes it seems like there is not enough space in my brain for things AI is learning me.

I'm sure many still like Tailwind but I never liked it, maybe because I worked with pure CSS or SCSS for many years before it.

In the end its just another library that if you learn it well it will work for you and it has as many downsides as any other library ever used.

By the way the article seems a bit like an advertising for vanilla-extract library.

I still use it occasionally, it was one of my first IDE in first job programming in PHP and was working well. It is free and it had code formatting and built-in language server back in the day where it wasn't a common thing.

It has some issues like chugging memory or language server bugging out in large projects but overall a great IDE and I'm glad its still maintained.

I'm going to risk it and say you can ignore it, you just have to want and if you need to went go to reddit.

In Poland we have a new affair every month and I don't care. Your country will be fine.

I would also love to see more technical stuff discussed here.

For those like me that don't know what AMOC is [1]:

The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) is the main ocean current system in the Atlantic Ocean. It is a component of Earth's ocean circulation system and plays an important role in the climate system. The AMOC includes Atlantic currents at the surface and at great depths that are driven by changes in weather, temperature and salinity. Those currents comprise half of the global thermohaline circulation that includes the flow of major ocean currents, the other half being the Southern Ocean overturning circulation.

WP21 2 years ago

I have worked with themes that used Timber and it has its own set of quirks.

I also have an opinion that using things like Timber in WP themes just adds to the inconsistency instead of helping it. Taking over website with Timber when you never heard of it is fun.

I don't want discourage, use what you like. Just my 2 cents.

This is not obvious from the link but I guess this is posted because of v2 released 3 days ago.

I have been working with Quill v1 not long ago and oh boy it is not good. Pain to make tables work with plugins and weird scrolling issues. Hopefully v2 fixes a lot but I'm sticking with TinyMCE as it is superior in term of features.

I switched a while ago to DDG and about a year ago to Startpage and both are good enough.

It was sure hard to get used to because of presumption that Google has better results but after a while you don't care anymore and find what you're looking for anyway.

I personally don't like this move but seeing a lot other companies standing against Russia and applying similar "sanctions" makes me think they are doing this just for PR.

I'm absolutely not saying they shouldn't do anything to show support for Ukraine but a simple short sentence or small banner somewhere would be much better instead.

I rather think of vaccination as a responsibility toward your fellow citizens, rather than a "choice".

I don't understand this argument. Maybe I'm being ignorant or childish but since when do we live in a world that as a person you have to be responsible for "fellow citizens".

Don't get me wrong I don't mean we shouldn't be nice or care about other people but no one owe me anything and I don't owe anybody anything. Don't we all learn that in life at some point?

I get the COVID is dangerous and vaccines help but don't put me responsible for you.

Update on Omicron 5 years ago

For starters I would want my government to change the narrative. They should do their own independent research and present their own facts. Instead they blindly buy vaccines from US and repeat the agenda as everyone else.

There is way too much politics involved. Pandemic should make people naturally empathic not forced by their governments to blindly obey.

GitHub Copilot 5 years ago

OpenAI Codex was trained on publicly available source code (...)

It would be nice if github made this tool publicly available in a good spirit of open-source instead of straight up monetizing it.

I get that github is not a non-profit but still.

Giving up a new "cool" few things doesn't mean you will "miss out" on new things. You still can try new things when they come out.

I think the biggest benefit of living like in 99s, just like the author pointed out is a "Peace of mind".

Also, regarding:

Retreating to the past isn’t controlling your addictions, it’s giving up.

as if addictions were a good thing. You can also look at it this way: choosing self controlled addictions over "giving up" a device over a dumber one.
