what is wrong you guys? How is my comment read as AI?


AI takes everything at face-value and cannot understand obvious jokes.


Do you know the species?


Yep. It's supposed to be an entry level one. Ligustrum sinensis. In my old house had like 8 hours of direct sun and right now it only has like 2... I don't know what to do anymore.


Ligustrum are notoriously hard to kill so if is not showing any activity over ground, may be working hard building roots at this moment.

The shadow is not really the problem. They love full sun, but can stand a lot of shadow. The lack of water or nutrients may be. Let it fully submerged in a bath for one hour. If is still alive, the bark or stems will turn greenish and new leaves may appear in a few days.

Sinense is semi caducifolious (if I remember correctly). Are you in spring or in autumn currently in your timezone?

(If you have pets take in mind that this is a poisonous plant with poisonous fruits only allowed for birds).


Most of these are outdoor trees, regardless of size. Something more tropical might fare better inside.


Would artificial light work?


With this species, yes, for sure.


Reading this wasn't easy, but let's appreciate the authenticity.

This post doesn't reflect well on you, you were disrespectful to every person in the story. You really need to grow up, and you could've handled this way better.

You could have, for example, asked exactly what their concerns were, and proposed ways to address them.

Your site looks very amateur, but from your description, it doesn't sound like you are doing anything clearly forbidden by law.

>someone had written a comment about S which he did not like.

Couldn't this also be done in the reddit? Then is the lack of moderation and language filters the problem?


You're applying US law. I dont think this passes muster on all Indian laws.


I honestly think i was pretty respectful to everyone, well until they started being disrespectful to me… > You could have, for example, asked exactly what their concerns were, and proposed ways to address them. i obviously did this. But they had already made up their mind… > Couldn't this also be done in the reddit? Then is the lack of moderation and language filters the problem? That was something i said too, ppl can do this on reddit. But their response was ‘but we dont control reddit’ For the moderation, i mean i was removing things if anyone reported it, what else could i do?


> Each profile also had 4 fields, where you could tag anyone, in the "has dated", "crushing on", "crushed on by" or "haters" category.

>Another cool thing was that whenever someone commented on your profile or tagged you, I'd send you an email on your official iitd email.

That’s quite the opposite of respect. More like spam.


>I honestly think i was pretty respectful to everyone

Cursing at people, taking hidden photos, posting them publicly laughing at the situation, mocking employees and the police, is the opposite of being respectful.


>In a sense, it is the difference between the way an entrepreneur might approach doing a startup versus how we build modern skyscrapers. Evolution versus Engineering.

There are core differences in software engineering that, unlike in construction work:

- making changes is often cheaper

- we might not know beforehand everything that is needed to be built, especially unknown unknowns

I would still agree that the truth is somewhere in between, but I would argue that, for software, it's closer to the evolutionary approach.


Exactly this. OP fails to understand that there are reasons why it was done this way, and that someone who spent thousand of hours working on this might know something that they don't.


Well, usually, the reasons are to support every single use-case. A great selling point, but ultimately why I don’t like using things like this and importing loads of other libraries. Most of the code your importing is for some other user and any one app will probably be using a slither of the functionality.

I know if the lib is written well then you won’t be introducing unused code into your code base but you still often are left with an overly complex scaffold or other infrastructure to support all the stuff you’re not using. Just use a radio button for gods sake.


"There are reasons" is a pretty bland defense of why something was done in a bad way. You'd have to show that the reasons are valid, which I highly doubt. Also, somebody spending thousands of hours on making a worse version of something existing, isn't a good justification either. That's on the level of counting lines of code as a measure of productivity.


Perhaps this is the original PR for the Radio/RadioGroup[1].

It does seem the complexity was a deliberate decision.

[1] https://github.com/radix-ui/primitives/pull/121


Half of that complexity springs from the requirement of being able to put any element as the radio button. If you’re willing to say “you can only use anything that can be expressed with CSS applied to the <input type=radio>, including psuedoelements” (which is plenty for thing like shadcn), it melts away.

The other half of it looks to come from an overloaded Label component which should probably have been split into two. There’s a reason that HTML has <fieldset> and <label> as different things. The implementation is also trivially incorrect: role=label isn’t a thing. Other parts of it are wrong or dubious too. In general, if the HTML way of expressing something isn’t permitted, the ARIA way of expressing the same thing is probably wrong too.

And so it goes, through the entire system. They assume you might want something ridiculously complex, and so they complicate and make worse the normal case.


Bingo!

For the "requirement of being able to put any element as the radio button.", Dan Abramov tells you that this is exactly the point of React, see his comment above:

> For what it’s worth, the point of React is that you can just fix that Radio component to be an input (if that makes sense) and it’ll just be an input. [0]

You’re misunderstanding. This isn’t about React, it’s the Radix UI primitives library which is being overcomplicated by it allowing you to put any element as the visual part of the radio button.

As for “the point of React” being that you can just do such and such… there’s nothing special about React there, that’s what any of these component libraries achieve (React, Vue, Svelte, &c., even basic templating systems like Handlebars a lot of the time).


Am I?

I was just quoting the React creator.


Radix UI Primitives has placed this requirement on itself. What you’re quoting amounts to “component abstractions allow you to easily throw Radix UI Primitives away” which is irrelevant.


Quite an ironic use of the word "fix" there.


Author here.

Thanks for sharing the PR. Frankly that raises more questions for me. Why do they want to wrap a label in a label? What is the actual goal here?


Can here to say this exactly. Not saying they don’t raise an interesting point but the complete lack of curiosity why a group of experts in simplicity and accessibility decided to take this path is jarring


> a group of experts in simplicity and accessibility

According to who? This alone is a pretty damning case against such a claim.


I mean, that much is obvious just based on casual reading of a few articles/discussions about "modern" front-end dev.

I am 100% convinced that "Modern" front end developers are in fact, afraid of CSS and HTML. Like, "it will steal my eyeballs and look back at my face with them" scared.

Nothing else explains things like this, tailwind, JSX components, etc. Nothing. There is no explanation besides absolute morbid fear of the underlying technology - because the browser support has improved immensely but apparently they're all deathly scared of using it.

Before you tell me that I don't know what challenges these problems solve: I was primarily doing front-end development.... 20ish years ago. One of my first jobs in the space was adapting the client side code for a J2EE app - mostly this meant removing an IKEA worth of tables and using CSS - in IE6 of all fucking things. Subsequently I created reusable UI frontend components (i.e. output some HTML, maybe this little bit of corresponding JS, you'll get a usable interactive components in a browser) for two different organisations.

I have said it before and I'll say it again. I think JavaScript developers heard about (or saw over someone's shoulder) how J2EE guys had ant/etc build toolchains, and had abstraction like FactoryFactoryImplementationFactoryBuilderFactory and said HEY THAT LOOKS COOL, and if it's harder to understand they can't fire me!!

It's like NIH syndrome but for an entire community of people whose primary goal is chasing the shiny, followed closely by resume padding.


well said!


Okay, what exactly are those reasons?

Why does it need so much complexity to draw a radio button that doesn't look all that different to the normal one you'd get with a perfectly ordinary <input> field, except it takes around ten seconds to draw and then doesn't work properly?


That's an incorrect answer. A light-day means "the distance covered by the speed of light in a day (24h)". The day length is related to Earth's turn speed, it's not related to its distance to the sun.


also, a light-day is a unit of distance while the question asked about time.


I think the models are under high load right now, and not working properly.


So the error messaging is wrong, giving the user the impression it's their fault for not paying. I think that's worse..


It's both.

Free tier users get to use what's left over from Google's capacity. They pay with their data, Google uses their inputs for training.

Paid tier users pay with money, Google doesn't use their inputs. They get priority when capacity is running out (like right after a launch as happened here).


There is no paid tier on Antigravity currently.


I don't know what a

haiku is. can anyone

please explain it?


It is a poem.

Not too many words allowed.

Not too few either.


I seriously thought they meant "it's not possible to have a chess game with more than 218 moves"


Yeah, I'm still confused.


There is no reachable[1] chess position[2] at which a player has more than 218 valid moves[3] to choose from.

[1] Able to happen while following the rules of chess

[2] The arrangement of chess pieces on the board

[3] A valid move is the motion of one piece to a place on the board, which doesn't break the rules of chess - e.g: "King to E4."


Seriously? I don't care what you call your tables, as long as it's consistent and it's nothing egregious.


Sure, unless most the team is international, and the referenced "quote" was actually meant to function as "quota"... you just haven't earned your grey beard till you spent days chasing down a developer to explain their code.

Nice guy, but a conditional recursively defined polymorphic class on a transaction server should be a crime. lol =3
