debesyla··on CSS Classes Considered Harmful
Clearly the best solution is just to write styles inline, because classes are evil and attributes are just classes with a hat.
debesyla··on The EU should be the heat-pump pioneer
What kind of permits are required? Are AC installation also a problem for new buildings too?
debesyla··on Denver gave homeless people $1k/mth. Year later, nearly half had housing
It's not like the money went away to space - people who got the money spent it on stuff, most likely local services and products, so it returned back.

The real cost to taxpayers was either 0 or an influx of dollars due to slightly boosted local economy, not a loss.

debesyla··on “Attention assault” on Fandom
Same with Guild Wars game series, where both games had officially hosted wiki sites and the best part - those are directly accessable ingame by using command "/wiki [item name or whatever you are searching]" in chat window. Handy!

debesyla··on WP21
30 SQL queries are basically normally functioning WordPress, it's a bit more unusual when it gets to 150+ queries zone :)
debesyla··on WP21
But 20GB is not a big deal these days, even cheapest hosting solutions give "unlimited" storage (only limited by inodes mostly, but those go into absurd numbers too).

In my eyes it's more optimal to just don't worry and take the WordPress site as simply a tool - yes, it will break after 5 years, but by that time you would have needed new site anyway.

debesyla··on Roman Tyrian purple snail dye found in UK for first time
I think OP meant social gathering places?
debesyla··on Caniemail.com – like caniuse but for email content
https://caniuse.com/ is a popular tool to check what web features are working across different browsers - "can you use this and assume that it will work for others".
debesyla··on Stack Overflow and OpenAI are partnering
Customer in this situation is the corporation - it's not much different; someone pays for some result. And there's enough reasons to hire programmers even when they don't write any code (look at the amount of people FANG hire - programmers who actually write code are minority).
debesyla··on Stack Overflow and OpenAI are partnering
Programmer's job isn't writing code - it's solving customer problems. And it's unlikely that customers will stop having (and creating new) problems.

"No job" is only a problem for someone who refuses to learn and move on. It's similar to having a child - first you have a job as a technician, then teacher, then mentor and lastly you are out of job until your customer makes you grandkids to care for, or something. ;-)

debesyla··on The drinking fountain button
I'm not sure if "there was not enough of plastic for wrapping, so we recycled newspapers" is an ecological decision. (That reminds me of using newspapers as toilet paper, because there was no toilet paper either... Ah, the days.)

As for glasses, at least in Lithuania those were stolen often. It was common for the machine to have only one glass.

But, of course, maybe it was different in other parts of the union.

debesyla··on Google made me ruin a perfectly good website (2023)
It's what you choose. I assume OP chose maximum option with all the "I want these ads" toggles checked.
debesyla··on Ask HN: Freelance website builders/maintainers, what's in your 2024 toolkit?
I do same, but with Wordpress and Elementor builder. It's good enough for most small scale clients on nano-size budget. But Squarespace is a solid tool too!
debesyla··on Show HN: An AI-Powered WordPress Site Builder That We Are Open-Sourcing Today
Only if you already know how to, well, do programming and writing commands to terminal.

For a lot of people clicking pretty buttons is easier to understand.

debesyla··on Insult Passphrase Generator
Until we try out the beer locally we can't be sure.
debesyla··on Is This 'Magic' Roundabout Made of 5 Mini-Roundabouts?
Here in Lithuania lots of Turbo-roundabouts were built lately, I my eyes it the best way to connect multiple lane roads as it's pretty hard to mess it up - bumps on the road itself help to direct the traffic (and, of course, signs when entering help too).
debesyla··on French artists in 1899 envisioned what life would look like in the year 2000
Talking about social relationships - I for long dreamed (fantasied) about device that lets to merge two and more people thoughts, memories, experiences.

Always wondered what would happen from it. And, I guess, maybe it's technically possible if we ever figure out how to read and write human brains/body chemistry?

debesyla··on The idea that AI will just augment jobs never replace them
I am not sure if raising minimal requirements is a bad thing. For example, it is harder to get into medicine now than it was 100 years ago, but is it bad? Maybe AI revolution will simply raise education requirements and those will lead to "smarter"/more specialised humanity?
debesyla··on Textart.sh
And some of the entries even have "shutterstock" watermark on top, like in the https://textart.sh/topic/gasoline category.
debesyla··on The incredible shrinking podcast industry?
Why? (Honest question.) In my eyes podcasts is just another form of media, like books, movies or video games - all of these are industries?
debesyla··on Much of the Web Is Machine Translated: Insights from Multi-Way Parallelism
Same in Lithuania, but half of websites are of russian origin. I wish there was a search engine that let me disable all the low-effort machine-translated websites from the results.
debesyla··on Drawing.garden
Maybe it's what you feel inside, not on the screen! ;-)
debesyla··on Does DNA have the equivalent of IF-statements, WHILE loops, or function calls?
Maybe that's the true way how to create an AGI...
debesyla··on How I'm writing CSS in 2024
How I write CSS in 2024: Tailwind.
debesyla··on Korea to welcome 'digital nomads' with new visa starting Jan. 1
Just a guess but if they mean anything like in Lithuania - higher taxes. (Here in Lithuania "rich" is earning more than 45k/year.)
debesyla··on Meta's new Threads, a rival for X, is now Apple's most downloaded app
Why "switch"? It's not like we are limited to only one social network :V
debesyla··on Should you add screenshots to documentation?
Indeed. I have tried to learn more modern web developement recently and lot of tutorials start with "just put this into console" and I'm stuck with wtf are all these strange tools, give back my good old days of just dropping files through FTP, haha. Screenshotted tutorials help me lots.
debesyla··on Holy Grail Layout
I always assumed it's called this because of the shape: two "bowls" at the top and bottom, handle in the middle/center? But I don't know, it's just my personal theory.
debesyla··on LLMs are a revolution in open source
OP provided examples.
debesyla··on The Stroad
Commute vs driving?
