Wait isn't Tailwind pushing the vast majority of its users to produce much more accessible websites than they would otherwise?

This makes me so glad I decided to start paying for kagi. Haven't had to mentally or technologically filter out search ads in months.

One way to look at this is that the natural state of things is that everyone has access to the local public square, and only a few have access to regional or national public squares. The early internet was a perturbation in this natural sta

Seatbelts don't magically stop major accidents from happening. But they definitely keep minor accidents from turning into major accidents. They don't keep you in control after you slam into something head on or flip the car. They

That the Fields medal is in the public imagination at all is mostly due to its mention in the movie Good Will Hunting. In which it is explained simply as "like the Nobel Prize for math". So that's it. There you go

You can also choose your favorite local bookstore on bookshop.org and order from there.

You can also go to bookshop.org, buy the book there (usually for about the same price as Amazon), and most of the profit goes to a local bookstore (which you can choose) instead of a big search engine with warehouses.

The problem with zoning is that at some point we realized that it was harmful to have industrial land use like factories and dumps right next to residential neighborhoods. And then we assumed that there must be a spectrum with landfill on o

+1 Kagi. I expected to get bored and go back to old habits but it's been very impressive and has "stuck" as my default for quite a while now.

Pretty cool. What did you use to build it?

True, but as most catchy names go, this one is a bit more nuanced than it might seem. No-till gardening (and no-till farming) is not about *never* tilling the ground. It's about escaping from a regular yearly or biannual cycle of tilli

When I read this, I got really excited about a company having a well thought out, rational reason for a decision. And then I realized how sad that is.

With a modern heat pump, it is more efficient (most of the time) to burn natural gas at the power plant and then use the generated electricity to heat the home (after accounting for generation and line losses, and other efficiency drains) t

Yes, and when electricity is used to do work, the vast, overwhelming majority of the energy used is turned into heat. So solar panels are moving heat, not sending it into a black hole somewhere.

I use something called Insular[1] to install some apps in a work profile so they don't have access to my personal contacts and activity. A nice unexpected benefit has been that Insular does background installations and updates of APKs.

The money he's secured is mostly loans, not venture capital, so that sort of pressure to grow or pad numbers should indeed be diminished.

An interesting compromise would be that carbon "offsets" are available for purchase, but must be used to fund installation of renewable generation and energy storage infrastructure. So that carbon offsets are accelerating the tran

Using Tailscale is like using Dropbox back when it was new: it's "just X but without the setup or maintenance", which shouldn't be so gosh darn satisfying to use, but by jove, it is. It makes you feel less shackled by th

The UI of the dashboard alone would be an impressive feat for a single person. The algorithm that chooses the most likely/useful application for infinite possible combinations of modules would be an impressive feat for a single person.

Yeah the improvement in young Luke in The Book of Boba Fett was pretty impressive.

I'm a youtube-dl[p] user, but pretending that is equivalent to the few taps it take to sync in the background in the official app is silly.
