I personally think we have this all wrong, and that all species should have to comply with some level of public decorum to be allowed in public human-dominated spaces. If a dog doesn't make loud noises, physically agitates others, or e

Seems like a lot of the comments are not getting it. The purpose of tokens is be able to have a single language-agnostic source of truth for the core bits of the design decisions. Let's say you have a website, an iOS app, an Android ap

I used to work on the Substack editor. It's built on top on ProseMirror and Tiptap (an abstraction on top of ProseMirror) last I checked. There's a variety of other implementations out there to check out as well: - https:/&#

Surprising to see Gross involved. He seems to be pretty baked into the YC world, which usually means "very commercially oriented".

Seems to me like bowling rules could use an update. When every pro is so good that they are just competing on mental focus, the nature of the ball, and slight environmental factors like the changing slickness of the wood, it has ceased to b

One of the few un-nuanced takes I have is that every component library/DS should be built on top of Radix or React-Aria or some other thorough but extensible library. If you’re implementing your own tooltips and menus, you’ve lost the

I’m in that stage now and this was a really good set of insights here (admittedly that I don’t quite fully understand). Open to DM? My email in profile.

The biggest issues I've had with Tailwind: 1) Adding it to an existing codebase with lots of global scope. The techniques espoused in the documentation simply don't work well with existing leaky CSS with varying levels of specific

From my understanding he was starting a radical new thread of ideas that ran counter to the hard empiricism at the time that was going nowhere, or at least too slowly to help a significant portion of people (which remains the case today in

I’m not sure how much of it was luck, but my provider at One Medical tested for Lyme disease and caught it in me. My provider seemed to be extra cautious based on very limited clues and I think that is somewhat related to it being a premium

Fascinating. Do you have any suggested books or videos that track the history of finance?

If anyone winds up using this consistently with friends (which they won't), it's likely they'll just see a continually increasing number of aborted events, due to the removal of a barrier. It's good that a cancelling par

The timing of the publishing of this seems coincidentally aligned with YC's very recent backout of a Chinese outpost. https://techcrunch.com/2019/11/21/y-combinator-abruptly-shut... I read this as a code

This is a tough problem! Writing this to address your concerns but also for the comment readers. I don't provide great solutions, but I think validating your problems is helpful and hope there's something useful in here: I've

I once was talking to a firefighter who was saying that these days house/apartment fires burn hotter and much more rapidly. Why? Because of cheap furniture (materials and construction). He didn’t have kind things to say about IKEA.

Have you actually tested this recently? I used to be concerned about unconstrained leisure bottoming out, but I've recently had about 6 months of a break of sorts and I was never bored. As long as I kept physical, social, emotional nee

Normally, I'd agree. But to not put a polarizing, inexperienced politician like Trump away easily is what makes the commentators (and me) think there are larger trends at work. She had all the cards.

Agree with the other commenters. It was fun to live the collegiate life for 3 weeks. Surprisingly, they have strong traditions despite only being in session 6 weeks during the summer. I went two times. You only took one class for three week

OP here: Certain goods have high status and markup but aren't high quality. Can you think of a strategy of finding great quality items that don't have a luxury "tax" bumping up margins far than a typical good, due to the
