<p>oh I'm not saying tailwind didn't have significant adoption before, but post LLMs is when major adoption from frameworks came as the default choice.</p>

<p>[I'm assuming styled-components was the preferred css-in-js solution until recently]<p>>  If you do UI components with [insert your favourite CSS-in-JS solution], it stays in the same file.<p>I mean you can but "best practice" all around has been to put them separate and that's reflected in the majority of github repos in the training data of the LLMs.<p>> Maybe the proximity to markup within the file is important?<p>that's my assumption, yes. Seems to me LLMs work best when they output the relevant tokens right there with the markup instead of referencing some previous tokens even if relatively close.<p>styled components was the recommended solution in popular UI libraries like React MUI up until 2023 when chatgpt came out. Tailwind REALLY blew up with LLMs.</p>

<p>class soup is what tailwind is. It's terrible because is just abbreviations of css attributes which you still need to know because you'll inevitably fiddle around devtools trying things out.<p>The only "smart" thing about it is leaning strongly on using rem.<p>how can it spill out onto the page? it's inline css. The (rare) inline selectors target only descendants.<p>Truth is that it's winning over because it works best with LLMs. Inline soup works better than looking for styling on different files in the context of the project, so here we are.</p>

<p>My take is that, biologically, creating an attractive female is easier than creating an attractive male, specifically regarding facial attractiveness. A symmetrical female child is almost guaranteed to grow up to be attractive, whereas the same isn't true for a boy. The "right" hormonal profile needed to develop attractive male features is rarer than what women require. A symmetrical girl who doesn't develop pronounced secondary sexual traits (such as full lips or prominent cheeks) is still generally considered attractive to both men and women. In contrast, masculine faces that lack strong jawlines or brow width usually aren't. Additionally, high testosterone can backfire in men, leading to overdeveloped brows or nose bridges, which may reduce attractiveness.</p>

<p>Are you sure that it makes it more acidic? AFAIK it only outputs pure H20, should be neutral. If you feed it alkaline water you'll get "more acidic" water, but the other way if you feed it acidic water.</p>

<p>I know pressure drops. The problem is knowing which filter is the one causing it in particular. Also, filters that are spent at different rates are a PITA. What I mean is if you are going to feed it nominally clean tap water, there's no reason to protect a catridge with equally or more expensive cartridges. Just use the RO filter and be done with it.</p>

<p>True. But have tasted distilled water? Tastes metalic. Probably just my imagination but I feel like it pulls stuff from the mucous in your mouth and tastes like blood.</p>

<p>> So when one times out, they all time out<p>Some units give you different fixed timespans for each. For that reason, I just use the Reverse Osmosis stage and ignore the rest. RO is the last step, and in theory it renders pure water meaning the only reason to have the previous ones is to pre-filter somewhat the water and extend the RO cartridge lifespan. Problem with that is, first, there's no way to gauge when each filter is spent. Second, they're priced the same anyway, so why even bother. Just go straight from tap to RO! Keep the post re-mineralization stage if you want.</p>

<p>was the left ever truly anti-immigration? I genuinely ask. Because the last leftwing explicitly pro-union movement I can remember was the late 90s/2000s anti-globalists, the ones that used to protest the G7 summits and the like. But they were in favor of immigration, so it always seemed contradictory.
Anyway, it's not like the right doesn't have its own equally contradictory positions.</p>

<p>I don't think so. You can argue emmigration takes away supply in the labor side. Why would prices go down? Quite the contrary.
I don't think it necessarily raises salaries in India though, because that market seems to have a hard cap somewhere around 36k/year but it sure does opens up positions for newcomers.</p>

<p>the central point of the piece is this:<p>> blocky pixel art often is a kind of misdirected, anachronistic nostalgia.<p>and my point was that blocky pixel art is a faithful representation of an important percentage of games of the era, even though some other games of the era were not meant to be "blocky" many indeed where as the gameboy proves.</p>

<p>I never said that CRTs or whatever didn't influence design sometimes. I just wanted to refute the central claim of the piece:<p>> blocky pixel art often is a kind of misdirected, anachronistic nostalgia.<p>And no, blocky pixel art is a faithful representation of an important percentage of games from the 8bit to 16bit generations.</p>

<p>yup, honestly this whole take is so tired. Its a factoid pulled out of nowhere.<p>and the counterexample is easy: the gameboy launched with LCD screens and games definitely where meant to look blocky. The pokemon games are perhaps the most influential nowadays in terms of pixelart style and show all examples of it: the very blocky styles of the overhead view and the more detailed pictures of the pokemon. They also cover the 8-bit and 16-bit era with the gameboy advance.</p>
