I create a new account every 6 months or so on Facebook when my old one gets banned for "violating the community guidelines" and I haven't been asked for an ID ever since 2019. Twitter, though, is way worse and I had to give up and I'm currently just buying aged accounts. Violates even more parts of the ToS than just ban evasion but at least the accounts last for years instead of weeks.

What in the world are you doing to keep getting banned and to also want an account enough that you’ll pay for them?

Hey if it works for you, great. It didn't work for me. 10 days casual use for 1 person and then "pay me" is not a positive experience, so I found another solution.

What? It’s a paid for service.

I tried this a couple of times and I was never able to completely turn off YouTube ads on my LG TV, no matter how many blocklists I pulled. I wonder... is there's a special setting for DNS routing inside of the TV that allows YT to bypass pi-hole?

Are the ads served from the same place as the video content itself?

When it comes to traditional web frameworks, the most important part is handling regular HTML forms. Reason being, a form is the only native mechanism your customers have to use to interact with your service. Forms are important. Specifically, validation and error handling. I think Laravel does it really well. It's been a while, but Laravel has a wrapper around HTML forms. This wrapper does everything you need: server-side form validation, form generation, flexible error handling that takes care of client error messages, placeholders, input values, css classes for invalid states, you name it.

Does Pushup help engineers with HTML forms?

Any more info on this form wrapper for Laravel?

I love CSS, I'm relatively good at it. Didn't enjoy Tailwind until I really did. Working on a frontend project with other people Tailwind is fantastic. Everyone can see and understand what I've done and there's no trying to understand other people's style sheets, or see what they've done or anything else (especially with the VSCode plugin that orders the Tailwind classes properly). Sure, pure CSS does some bits better and I'll still use that for projects that are 'just me'. But it's great knowing that the next dev we hire can pick it up and go from day one.

As for the mentioned nested selectors (which I'm a huge fan of), in the next version I'd like to see grouped nested selectors. So instead of:

  [&>div]:mt-4 [&>div]:bg-white [&>div]:px-2

You could do something like:

  [&>div]:(mt-4 bg-white px-2)

Which I think would improve readability and significantly cut down on class bloat.

I imagine you’d have to use underscores for spaces, otherwise you actually have 3 different classes there.

For me: the scare of "I have changed my mind and the sex we had 3 months ago was not consensual."

In the olden days, we'd meet, have fun, kiss, have sex and... whatever happened, happened.

Now, there is this realistic probability that what you thought was a fun evening, turns into a drama even a long time after it happened. There is no recourse, no evidence, no change of a fare trail: when s/he "does not feel it" afterwards, you're guilty.

Me personally will not flirt / hit on / touch anyone anymore.

randomguy0 · 3 years ago

Man, that’s wild. I don’t know anybody that feels this way. It almost reads as sarcasm.

mhoad · 3 years ago

Genuinely confused why someone would reach for React in a 2022 rewrite scenario.

It is on a bad path in terms of integrating with the web platform and doesn’t seem to have any clear signs to resolving that technical debt.

randomguy0 · 3 years ago

What would your suggestions be in place of React?

Do you genuinely believe that you and your appeal to Econ 101 is likely to have a better grasp on drug pricing dynamics than drug pricing specialists at Pfizer?

Increasingly over the last week or so I forget that I’m scrolling HackerNews and not Reddit when I read comments like OPs. I mean this literally and not in jest. Is anybody else noticing more low effort / group-think / karma-farming comments lately?

Perhaps less whining about being “cancelled” when what is really happening is that a person is being a tool, then complaining that THEY are the real victim here, and then immediately doubling down on detestable behavior.

randomguy0 · 3 years ago

Who is whining about being cancelled? Who is complaining about being the real victim? Who is doubling down? Did you respond to the wrong thread?

Spammers and bot writers are real people. Parodists are real people. I wonder if Musk hasn't really thought very deeply about what he means by free speech.

randomguy0 · 3 years ago

No. They are not “real people” in the sense of a “town square.”
