Ireland is doing well directly because of extremely clever biz Dev Irish people who made Ireland top tech and biotech centre in the entire world.

[skyyler → turbo_fart]

the point is that this is only benefiting those that already have money

A bunch of foreigners showing up to pay more than you can for rent is not a good thing.

Ireland has pretty good education system while there are certainly immigrants a large % of positions is actually occupied by people born in Ireland.

/s in the end? (genuine question)

[andrepd → nikhilsimha]

I'm pretty sure. They're poking fun at people who see the billions in tax dodge BEPS schemes included in Ireland GDP and think it has any bearing in reality.

On: Booking.com leaves hoteliers thousands of dollars out of pocket

[turbo_fart]

Booking.com was hacked months ago and people are getting scam messages sent to them by their hotels after booking looking for a verification fee via credit card.

Node.js is about 20x faster than RoR for instance

At what? At running calculations? How do you compare a runtime with a framework? I'm genuinely curious...

The only reason the say step-mom instead of mom is due to policies on the porn site itself

[BobbyJo → turbo_fart]

Is this actually true though? Speculation, but I doubt "mom" would have the same appeal as "step-mom" for the same reasons that the former isn't allowed and the latter is.

On: Mentra aims to match neurodivergent jobseekers with jobs

[turbo_fart]

This is a hilariously neurodivergent way to create a CV, I love it

Lots of people commenting here who worked on JavaScript projects years ago and still think that Typescript is optional and that Babel/webpack needed.

This stuff has been fixed with ts and, ESM in the browser.

On: Why Tailwind CSS Won

[turbo_fart]

Wrong, it ships the lowest amount of CSS it can

[ponyous → turbo_fart]

This is only 1 perspective (which is correct in most cases but not always). It can also produce massive HTML (not CSS) making it worse than pure CSS solution.

[tmikaeld → ponyous]

Even when used as expected, per-page, you end up with unnecessary html and css, because tailwind can't combine the classes used from other pages. For one to be able to use tailwind as efficiently as site-covering custom made CSS, you'd need to collect the HTML or CSS Classes for the whole site and compile the CSS from that, but tailwind is waaay too slow for that to even work - not to mention, node.js can't even handle that amount of classes in memory (4GB Default).

I'm very well aware of this because I tried to make it as efficient as possible.

I love in Portugal. They still need to legalize and regulate drugs because there are plenty of street dealers and junkies. Stop using Portugal as some amazing fix. It isn't
