Neither zebras nor white pages in a hardback book emit light, they only reflect it.

I think frameworks like tailwind are great for rolling your own components actually. Tailwind sits somewhere between just writing your own styles from scratch and using a css component library like Bootstrap. It provides you with sensible a

Well JSX is not really just javascript/typescript - it needs to be transformed first, just throwing a .jsx file into a script tag won't work. It does compile down to just javascript, but the same can be said for svelte. I can see

Do you think the suicide rate could be related to the cultural pressure to work long hours?

Energy is not an infinite resource. The energy used to mine bitcoin could have been used for something else instead.

Looks really cool. Out of curiosity, how did you build the real-time collaborative aspect of your editor? Is it built on some existing tools, or did you build that part from scratch?

I wouldn't attribute this to only laziness. At the time people weren't yet aware that burning fossil fuels would cause climate change. It's also pretty cheap to just pump fossil fuels out of the ground. On the other hand, peo

Tesla's mission is to accelerate the adoption of renewable energy sources. This doesn't directly counter that. In fact you could argue that pushing the world to rely on massively energy-inefficient proof-of-work rather than a cent

McKinsey has 27,000 employees. That's the population of an entire town. I'm not saying that the things described in the links you posted here aren't bad, but I think it's important to remember with this many employees, t

You could argue that Apple provides real value to users (not just with better devices/UX, but now also with better privacy), and their massive profits are just a reflection of that value. Because Apple makes most of its money from devi

See https://ourworldindata.org/alcohol-consumption#historical-pe... Seems like people in Nordic countries (especially when not considering Denmark) consume less alcohol than their neighbours, although the difference has bee

And yet Scandinavian countries have had great success by raising the price and limiting the availability of store-bought alcohol. I think this is similar to some UX patterns we see in software: most people will go with the default option be

I think the don't-use-tables argument is from way before mobile devices were something web developers cared about. I recall it as being mostly about semantics, i.e. tables should only be used for tabular data, not setting up the layout

Not sure about Sweden, but in Finland there is definitely some subsidised student housing. That said, as a student in the Netherlands I rented a room for 250 euros a month, so I think the 6k a year may not be that far off.

This exactly. I've often wondered if the default spell checkers that come with phones nowadays are slowly changing the language itself. If Google doesn't fix these issues in the nearish future, an entire generation will grow up wi

It doesn't shift blame onto individuals, because: "Platforms and regulators should limit streaming resolution and default to SD, the authors urged." While I agree it probably won't do much, you could argue that streaming

I think the resistance towards that particular book is because the full title is "How to win friends and influence people". The last part in particular is what makes it sound sleazy. It would be very different if the book had just

The RGB you'd typically use when designing or developing something does not really map very well to human biology because it's just an approximation that happens to work well with the technology we currently have. For example, the

This technique is essentially the same as websites made entirely in Flash back in the day. And back then, the only way to have Google index your site was to provide a separate (hidden) version that used normal, semantic HTML.

This doesn't eliminate rent-seeking behavior because the dollar value of assets (e.g. houses, and with it rent) will just go up as well.

Underground wires are the preferred choice for most of the EU as far as I know (at least in western Europe). There are also much smaller countries in the EU that provide far better internet than what's available in the UK, apparently.
