So where are we at with utility libs (tailwind/tachyon) vs inline css in js vs preprocessors (sass/scss) vs vanilla modern css?

Wherever you want to be.

  Tailwind works for your team? Go for it.
  Inline CSS for your solo project? By all means.
  Still stuck on SASS? It'll keep working just fine.
  All in on modern CSS? More power to ya!

Missed opportunity to turn this into a poem

  Go for it if Tailwind works for your team.
  Inline CSS for your solo project?  Chase your dream.
  Still stuck on SASS?  It'll work just fine.
  All in on modern CSS?  Go ahead and shine.


As a solo dev, I use $5 VPS on OVH or Hetzner for peace of mind. I remember trying out GCP for some simple html or django thing a decade ago and it cost me $30/mo or something and I said nah. I've also seen an ex-coworker rack up $50k with no recourse. I've already read enough horror stories like this.

Also don't outsource your thinking to LLMs, it's a useful tool, but once you do, it's brainrot for programmers.

I've always explained it as demonstrating your ping pong skills to get on the basketball team.


In a way, the government already has a 10-40% stake in everything through taxation.


I generally like having roommates, but when they're bad, they're BAD. I've also never done the communal cooking thing. Either they don't cook, are bad at cooking, or have dubious food hygiene. I haven't met any potential partners through them either. I might take a walk or swim with them but I sure as hell didn't get OP's experience.


Makes me think humankind has been enshittified too: crappy parents/educational system creating more crappy humans, instead of "high quality" ones.

But then again, I always realize how far civilization has come when I enter a public toilet: not far at all.

I look around my messy apartment and realize I'd also be a not-great flatmate.


tl;dr: I felt like death for 2 years probably because of long covid POTS. Feeling somewhat ok now.

I had ridiculous nausea and other weird body issues appear out of the blue around 2022. While I never puked, I got nauseated from even brushing my teeth. I'd have to pause a few times to complete brushing. I suddenly got heartburn, I could only hobble around like an old man. I couldn't tolerate a single car ride, even just getting into a car was too much. After a year, I could at least get in a car and my limbs would all go numb. I could only eat small amounts. Zero tolerance for caffeine. Chocolate sprung up heart burn. Tested for H Pylori, negative.

It was over two years before I could take car rides without absolutely dying. While much better now, I still get abnormally car sick, bouts of relatively mild nausea, and haven't managed a significant meal outside of home.

While I suspect time is the largest factor, I did take a cocktail of supplements. Ginger rooibos tea with every meal, collagen, l-glutamine, creatine, unflavored whey isolate protein, and psyllium husk. Before bed I'd take 3+ mg melatonin, famotidine, ginger pill, artichoke extract pill.

I suspect I had/have long covid induced POTS or similar dyautonomia. Apparently it's quite common: https://archive.is/20240503031045/https://www.washingtonpost.... In any case, I've been recovering and seem to still be recovering.


I have a friend in his 40s and I asked him about his opinion on WFH. He doesn't like it. He prefers to go to an office and be around people. He also doesn't have much in the way of interests or hobbies. I suspect a lot of RTO decision makers fit a similar profile.


I feel sorry for the live to work people and it would be unfortunate if they were in the decision makers. But that does make sense because that's probably how they climbed the ladder into those positions.


Sad. I'm mid-40's and consider RTO to be an outdated waste of time and money for both the employees commuting and causing pollution and the company leasing office space for no purpose. Ironically, Dell's inside and outside sales staff have been WfH for 20+ years.


I don't know much about Greece and don't follow Greece at all. Every time I hear something about Greece, it sounds like a hot mess.


I think this sums it up pretty nicely. It's a failed state with corrupt people at the top of the government.

The parliament, i.e. the majority, i.e. these people, are also the ones who appoint the judges of the top courts of the country, which all but ensures their immunity.

Their immunity is also enshrined in the consistution[4, article 86] - only the parliament can take an MP to the courts, but guess who controls the majority

Also, they are in the pockets of the local oligarchic mafia [1]: A few families that control the vast majority of the media AND the big construction companies AND the energy companies. They are also the ones that own big part of the shipping industry in Greece. For their sake, back in 2022 when the EU was considering to ban oil shipments from Russia, Greece vetoed that [2]

Oh, and just to be safe, the oligarch's tax exemptions are written in the constitution[4, article 107]

So, the people in the government have an almost complete immunity from everything, which makes them extremely arrogant.

If you add to that mix the total disregard of public services, even hospitals during the pandemic, you get a very beautiful-to-look-but-terrible-to-live-in failed state.

A state that even the EU can no longer turn a blind eye on[5]

I was going to say it's expensive, but it's actually not outrageously more expensive than the current going rate for olive oil. It's $11/liter at Costco. Their refill can comes out to be around $20/liter. It's supposed to be a premium product so it's not out of my expectations.

Olive oil in general is just much more expensive after the recent droughts. I vaguely remember 6 liters of olive oil coming out to around $30 at Costco pre-drought, so prices have roughly doubled. But hey, I see nearly 2000 reviews on their Sizzle Oil, so I guess they must offer a good enough product for people to stomach the 2x drought price on top of the 2x premium product price.
