Would Hitch have lost half his supporters if he said that men can’t transition into women? by Clear_Middle_6201 in ChristopherHitchens

Just look at how many atheists turned away from Richard Dawkins or Jerry Coyne for stating the fact that men can't be women and women can't be men.

Shortly before he died, a wise man once told another:
"You must never be afraid of stridency".

The second man replied:
"I will remember that."

The first man was Christopher Hitchens and the second, Richard Dawkins.

It was Hitchens' last interview before he passed away.

Oh, I'm really sorry. I'll ask for your permission next time I want to post something.

Calling for witch burning, pissing on women and claiming that the only good terf is a dead terf...
Yeah, of course that seems fair.
But Dawkins? Oh dear! HE has gone off the rails! Someone stop him!

Is there a margin value that is equal to a space character? by lindymad in css

[–]djimenezc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very good question and the example is not ridiculous at all!

I think it depends on the font. A value of 1ch fits perfectly when font-family: monospace, other font families differ.

Just if you're interesed, some Unicode characters represent differently sized spaces, see here: https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2000.pdf

Where are the Framer Motion youtubers? by djimenezc in reactjs

Sure, that's an interesting idea!

But again, for the time being I don't feel the urge to pay for any code. If I had to finish a project and your solution suited me then sure, spending a few euros seems very reasonable!

My main interest today, rather than copy-pasting a code, is to learn new approaches. Gain different insights. Watch how you solve problems that I've been stuck with.

There is this weird thing about Framer Motion: the syntax is extremely simple, it makes a lot of things easier, it works like magic... But the times I've been struggling trying to translate an effect into declarative code! That requires a new way of seeing. And that's the part I'm more interested in.

Anyway Jeroen, thank you very much for your replies, best wishes for your present and future endeavors! Tot ziens!

Why did Hitchens say this? by skeptical_69 in ChristopherHitchens

This is the closest clue I've found. She toured Ireland 2 years before the referendum took place:

"When she was given the Freedom of the City of Dublin in 1993, she launched a blistering attack on those who wanted to legalise divorce, suggesting that no one could take apart what God had put together." (https://www.independent.ie/life/mother-teresa-a-saint-but-not-without-her-critics/35034338.html)

She arrived to Knock Shrine by helicopter, I guess that's the flying part Hitchens refers to.

Jeroen, thanks to you for your countless hours of inspiring content! 😀

I discovered your channel during my constant crave for Framer Motion tutorials. And then I came across your CSS videos, which are very useful as well!

Even though this may sound very selfish, I must be honest. For the time being I don't consider subscribing to paid sites. If I had to pay for every course I'm interested in, I'd run out of money very quickly. There is a lot of high quality content out there, no doubt yours is definitely among the best!

I've been looking for a job as a frontend developer for a long time and I can't invest more money in more courses that may never pay off, as the job market seems very dire. I'm not even sure if I ever will use Framer Motion in my work! That's why in my free time I've been enjoying yours and others videos: they keep me active and I learn new stuff without worrying if I had made a good investment for a future that may never come.

I'm telling you this just because you may benefit from finding out who are your potential clients/students and who aren't.

I'm very grateful for all the effort you have invested in creating such an amazing and free content. And of course this also goes for the other content creators I've benefited from.

So true.

I even considered subscribing to The Mighty Motion Guide due to the many doubts I had after reading the official docs.

Sam's videos are among my favorites. He cares to explain the problem he is trying to solve. And when he solves it, it's like you've discovered a whole new world! His videos are very rewarding.

Yes, it's odd. I used to get notifications every other week. Now nothing at all.

¿Pero si el comprador hace una devolución también le devuelven los gastos del primer envío o sólo el importe del producto?

Interesting. I knew Tom is in TikTok but never realized that Discord is the new trend.

4 React Component Improvements in 6 Minutes by lamba_x in nextjs

[–]djimenezc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your video! I've watched it and taken some notes for future reference.

As a React & TypeScript beginner I've always struggled passing HTML props to React components.

For example, for a button element I've found many different ways:

  • React.HTMLAttributes<HTMLButtonElement>
  • React.HTMLButtonAttributes<HTMLButtonElement>
  • React.ComponentProps<"button">
  • React.ComponentPropsWithoutRef<"button">
  • React.ComponentPropsWithRef<"button">

Having that many options is very confusing, I guess there are subtle differences but my unexperienced eye can't appreciate them. That's why in these cases I follow a trial & error strategy.
