<p>Rhetoric won't save you from the embarrassing situation you created for yourself. You accused something of being a scam without understanding the definition of the word. Now that your claim has been challenged, you're trying to redefine terms and argue around the issue rather than admit you were wrong.</p>

<p>One has to be pretty ignorant and dismissive to claim that this is not "a big win for paper".<p>First of all, that comment is weirdly out of place. The quality and longevity of paper is not the topic.<p>Secondly, there are fragments of paper with writing as old as 2,000 years.<p>Thirdly, paper you look at and see the writing. With digital documents, you need the technology to read the medium and then you need to know how the information was encoded onto the medium, before you even arrive at the same level with paper, where you can start to decide the actual writing.<p>Paper has brought us where we are today, and given us what we know about the past. Don't be so ignorant and dismissive.</p>

<p>> Tailwind instead pushes the dev into a CSS-first approach. You think about the Tailwind classes you want, and then throw yet-another-div into the DOM just to have an element to hang your classes on.<p>I wholeheartedly disagree. That mindset is not caused by Tailwind, but by being ignorant.<p>You can perfectly create an HTML document with semantic meaning and the add Tailwind just as any other CSS framework or pure CSS to it.<p>And DIVs do not carry meaning, they are specifically to add functionality or styling, so you can throw in as many as you like. Using them abundantly isn't good style, but the way you make it sound that they're evil isn't good either.</p>

<p>> it’s much easier to pick out the unique byte when it’s a different color! human brains are really good at spotting visual patterns—given the right format<p>Don't really see the advantage. Unique bytes have no unique meaning across data types.<p>The only good syntax highlight to me is 00 and perhaps FF. But that's my opinion of course.<p>Anything else that has no direct relation to what you're looking at is meaningless.</p>

<p>If your doctor recommends to take a specific dose, take the specific dose. Don't half it. Taking half of stuff can also cause further damage. Like with antibiotics, where it can lead to bacteria becoming resistant.<p>So don't be the "smarter" person. Do as your doctor says and if you have doubts, consult another doctor before just doing what you think is safe, but actually isn't.</p>

<p>> In a city with a properly-designed transit system you wouldn't need a car at all.<p>That's the wrong argument. People stay in traffic for hours, being frustrated about the waste of time. Yet, when asked why they wouldn't take public transport, you hear a bunch of dumb arguments why public transport is shit.<p>I experience this all of the time in my city. Public transport is awesome and you get around just as fast as with a car (given there is no traffic, which rarely happens). Yet, people complain about how bad public transport is and how unreliable. But if you point out that car traffic is just as unreliable and slower, then they take their freedom-card. That's some cognitive dissonance, if nothing else.<p>I wouldn't give a shit about these people. It's just so damn funny to see that - unless public transport is immediate teleportation - it never is good enough for them -- even if it's objectively faster a lot of times. Public transport will never good enough for these negative Nellie's.</p>
