sourcecodeplz··on Cannabis use disorder and subsequent risk of depression and bipolar disorder
Yeah, cannabis contains a multitude on cannabinoids: THC, CBD, CBN, CBG and CBC. These high-thc & low-cbd strains fuck you up immensely.

Not saying you should never use weed, if I go to Amsterdam, I will for sure use it but I don't bring it back home with me. Smoking once every couple of months will not harm you at all, IMHO.

sourcecodeplz··on Plex to block all servers hosted at Hetzner
It appears (from reddit that):

1. People rent Hetzner servers to load-up with movies

2. They sell access to those servers to multiple users (sometimes dozens).

3. The opinion is also that Hetzner is a cesspool of the Internet:

>> Hetzner seems to be a cesspit of internet, outside of russia. They're more than willing to host Indian scammers VoIP systems, as well as scam websites. They're willing to host just about anything as long as they aren't responsible for the content, and you don't get caught.

>> hetzner is the worst. whenever we have an attack at work, 7 out of 10 times its coming from hetzner

sourcecodeplz··on Why Tailwind CSS Won
Realistically speaking, with CSS, you don't even need to use one single class inside your HTML. Every element is a child of another, up till <body>. The C in CSS is just that, CASCADING.

I find it ridiculous to attach so many classes to your HTML elements. I think it is obvious Tailwind gained popularity because people just didn't want to learn CSS. And I don't blame them, it took me years and I am still learning new ways to achieve things. In a way, CSS's flexibility is also its beauty: you can achieve the same thing multiple different ways.

You can do A LOT if you know CSS. With tailwind you can do what others have thought of you might need. This is the antithesis of programming. Programming is supposed to help you break the limitations of tools.

sourcecodeplz··on Why Tailwind CSS Won
Interesting argument. I have actually seen many news websites with huge inlined CSS in their <head> tag.

sourcecodeplz··on Why font-size must NEVER be in pixels
I don't know about superhuman vision but it is easier on my eyes when making the text large, up to a point, depending on my display.

Just use percentages.

sourcecodeplz··on Want employees to return to the office? Then give each one an office
I always performed better in 2-4 person offices. Not alone, but not open space either. The constant noise and people walking by all the time is terrible for concentration.
