Probably still trying to get over the fact that he keeps trying to make "the N word" mean saying "nuclear". That is not, never been, and never will be what that means; and the fact that he's trying to make it mean that is just another example of how unspeakably racist he is.

Answer: Yes.

While I lack the poetic flair necessary to coin whatever the conceptual opposite of "gilding the lily" would be, I'm fairly certain it would apply here.

This is illegal here. You have a right to film any government employee in the execution of their duties. Press full charges against the "officers".

I don't care what their reasoning is; everyone deserves access to housing. If that reduces the value of their homes I could not possibly care less.
Here's a fun idea: In urban areas, property tax is inversely proportional to density. See how fast they get on board with that policy in place.

Yeah but I call BS. I live in SF and by this metric it's more a buyer's market here and no one who actually lives here would say that.
$1,000,000 for a two-bedroom starter home is not a "buyer's market".

What do you want them to do? Listen to their base? Back younger more popular candidates who successfully organize grass roots campaigns? Give both independents and progressives hope that there is a cohesive opposition to the fascist wave destroying our nation?
That's silly. You're silly.

Through context cludes I can only deduce she is announcing to the world that she is, in fact, delulu.

I feel bad for the people working on it. I bet there are loads of meetings that boil down to people saying the pace is too fast and they can’t guarantee quality or success.
And Musky doesn’t care because public image and arbitrary timelines.

It won’t be the reason I use your product but it will be the reason I don’t. And it will be the reason I push hard internally to use your competitor.

I’ve been using relative colors to add transparency ad hoc and I love it. No kore 472 color variables for all the colors and their opacities. Just one color.

So my company wanted to integrate an auth provider and we landed with Clerk in no small part because their docs are just so good.
"How do we do—Oh, it's right here. With a real working example... Is... Is that even allowed anymore?"

Call them brown pants.
1. They're cowards and retreat at the first sign of proper resistance.
2. They always wear khakis.
3. The Brown Shirts were Nazi thugs.
Meanwhile I'm over here waiting for someone to make a parody version of "Black and Tans" about Ice.

I also feel like it's preference and there isn't a "right" answer. The glory of FE dev life, right?

100%, but if my design system says 20px above and 10px below I don't want the preceding element with 10px below to make the above 30px.

The problem with using padding to enforce spacing is it makes it harder to have a consistent baseline grid. I know that's less of a thing in web design than print design but I still like to have one when I can. It just makes everything look so much more cohesive.

Same.
My design background says if I expect there to be 20px—or equivalent (r)em—of spacing around a thing I don't want an adjacent sibling to change that. It will throw off the rhythm.

I've oft heard it said that "nobody cool likes Tucker Carlson" and "shut the hell up, Tucker Carlson" but in this one very specific instance... I'm OK with letting him talk a little.

"What's that one?"
BackboneJS.
"Oh, thank you for your sacrifice. And that one?"
Scriptaculous.
"What was that?"
JS animations before animations were really a thing.

This is how I feel about the phrase "with all due respect". They hear it and think "well, I'm due a lot of respect," but what I mean is "I have literally no respect for you."
If I want to say something with respect I say "with respect".

“Oft” is just more formal. If I had to guess? CharGPT.

It’s crypto, my guy. It’s inherently a scam. And using your money to fund anti-LGBTQ organizations makes you a shitty human.

Yeah when I found that out I was super annoyed. Why do only assholes make browsers?

Do this but don't post about it. Fun fact: This is assault under federal law as an act of intentional poisoning. People have been charged.
So if you're going to do this just don't post about it. #NeverBreakTheLawAndDocumentIt

Anchor positioning and animating to auto.
Basically, get interop to at least Chrome 6 months ago.

There are loads of things I genuinely want to have an app, or at least a way to tie into Home Assistant.
A stand mixer will never, ever be one of them.

Good thing the majority of Americans don’t live in cities… OH WAIT.
And I say this as someone that grew up in Vermont, a state that barely has cities.

The issue is what do we use instead?
Chrome? Hope you don't care about your privacy.
Edge/Opera/Vivaldi? Chrome with extra steps.
Safari? Only on Apple products.
Arc? Murdered because of AI.
Brave? Shitty CEO and crypto.
Zen? Firefox with extra steps.
🤷

Yeah, I think in most cases I need to explicitly set a z-index. It's one of those things that I "know" until I have to think about it.
comment in response to

I think the scale does but it might only be because you're doing a transform and not just using the scale property.
The positioning ones do, anything but static will.
I'm 99.999% sure opacity does not.
It's OK, I've only been a frontend dev for like 20 years. It's fine. 😅

I needed it noted for the record that my <3 was less a <3 and more a "[screams into the void]".

I had this really frustrating conversation where the person asserted that it was a good thing teachers were so underpaid because then it guaranteed that only people who loved teaching would do the job.
I asked them if they felt it should be the same for doctors. They didn't get it.
