  • Obviously this is the fuckai community so you’ll get lots of agreement here.

    I’m coming from all communities and don’t have the same hate for AI. I’m a professional software dev, have been for decades.

    I have two minds here, on the one hand you absolutely need to know the fundamentals. You must know how the technology works what to do when things go wrong or you’re useless on the job. On the other hand, I don’t demand that the people who work for me use x86 assembly and avoid stack overflow, they should use whatever language/mechanism produces the best code in the allotted time. I feel similarly with AI. Especially local models that can be used in an idempotent-ish way. It gets a little spooky to rely on companies like anthropic or openai because they could just straight up turn off the faucet one day.

    Those who use ai to sidestep their own education are doing themselves a disservice, but we can’t put our heads in the sand and pretend the technology doesn’t exist, it will be used professionally going forward regardless of anyone’s feelings.






  • Ngl I love tailwind, I’ve been through so many different css paradigms

    • separate css files: why did we ever do this, if you’ve ever used kendo’s css stuff you’ll understand how unfathomable hundreds of thousands of lines of css with complex rules is. Identifying all the things that affect a single component is the work of dozens of minutes at minimum, sometimes hours, you have to understand every nook and cranny of the css spec.
    • inline styles: fine, but verbose and requires object spreading, harder to compose, theming is tough and requires discipline to be consistent in your theme conventions, almost impossible to also theme imported library components
    • module.css with imported classes: my go to outside of tailwind
    • scss: I actually really like scss but it exacerbates the complexity and mystery of css, great for small projects but terrible as projects bloat
    • bootstrap: basically just worse tailwind, providing only components and colors

    That’s all I can think of right now, but tailwind is my preferred way to style a new project, I love how easy theming and style consistency is







  • It’s easy to confuse friendship with deeper feelings, human connection is weird.

    If you’re not romantically into him, you won’t be in a thruple, you’ll simply be sharing your partner with your friend.

    Monagomy isn’t for everyone, and arguably polyamory isn’t for many people at all. I’ve seen a few of these work out but it requires very different mindsets and your mindset right now sounds like it’s on the sexual side (considering it exciting) instead of on the relationship/partnership side. Excitement is short lived, exercise caution.

    Don’t ask the internet, talk frankly with all parties involved. Be aware that the relationship may already have expanded past monogamy non consensually.



  • I wouldn’t move to wyoming of all places, for sure, that place is hell on earth. The boston metro area is great for aging, especially as you get well into your 80s and your ability to drive flags. The lack of community infrastructure in wyoming will mean you’ll either die or have to go into a home as you age because how will you get groceries? At least in the boston area you have ready access to taxis and ubers and public transit everywhere.

    Don’t forget that the politics of wyoming are vastly vastly different than the boston area, you’re going from one of the most progressive areas in the US to one of the most conservative states.

    Living a rural rancher lifestyle requires hardiness and support structures. Most ranchers have generations in the same place, know their neighbors, have local community, etc. You’re coming in as a stranger and people out there hate outsiders coming in. It’s an expensive hobby and a hard job.

    If you like dust, fires, wind, drought, mormons, republicans, big rig black cloud trucks, and guns you’ll probably like it.



  • We have one in an upstairs bedroom from midea, the window slides right between the front and back of the unit and it’s excellent. Our power consumption didn’t increase too terribly much and it’s actually decently quiet.

    Not gonna put the model here but just look for U shaped window units. It has little legs that go outside.

    Don’t get the inside standing units, they’re massive, loud, power hungry, and most of them are less effective than even the cheap window units.
