Not at all! Decorations are needed for lots of things. For example, obviously decorations are needed for decorating. Successful sexual posturing in some birds requires large, decorative body parts like feathers or crests.

In my own experience, whenever I detect something AI generated I lose the ability to evaluate how much I can "trust" something. Compare an article on Medium with a published book on the same topic; both are human-originated but the substance of one implies authority, quality etc. Generating a website and pictures with AI requires very little effort and care, and I have no interest in carelessness. Like most humans, I can't help but evaluate the author alongside the art.

Indeed, I saw the watermarks. It's clearly a testament to his skill that his consistency is so unbelievable. Maybe that's common in macro photography but I'm genuinely floored by it.

The macro photography looks bizarrely uniform and the poses contrived. I feel like a sleuth trying to decide if this is AI generated or not. I suspect it isn't, but I'm somewhat distressed at how suspicious I am of cool things now.

In the implication being that eggs are not the real thing; in other words, a superhero's mild annoyance.

The GP's turn of phrase read quite convincingly like Iain M Banks, then I see this!

Have there been any comparisons written about Tailwind's performance vs thoughtfully selected CSS? I've been writing Tailwind exclusively for the last year or so and I haven't noticed anything in particular, but I find that using utility classes causes me to lose an awareness of the cascading nature of CSS. Aside from the filesize bloat due to the bigger HTML files, do long and highly-repetitive class lists slow down style parsing or DOM interaction? And if so, would @apply directives have an advantage over class lists?

A lot of the comments in that thread appear to be flaming the OP for impersonating a legendary demoscene group, or something like that. I've always enjoy touristic, almost archaeological appeal of reading old subculture drama, and I wish I stumbled across them more often.

Absolutely. You can usually drop the direction though as it's the initial value. But flex is so powerful for layouts, I'll slap it on almost anything, and barely have a need for grid.

I feel like I've read this before some here...

I'd say close to just works. I've spent the last 6 months developing with Rider on Arch and it hasn't been a completely smooth ride. Admittedly, a lot of my pain just came from inexperience. I screwed up permissions; it took me ages to setup the right .net packages due to the nomenclature (which, when I installed Visual Studio on Windows, is easily glossed over); function apps took a while to get working.

But it really is satisfying once you've got everything working.
