For those who think, “so what, that’s just numbers; what about real politics?”, here’s my answer. Let me put it in Trump-style capitals.

EVERY REGIONAL VOTE FOR THE SNP WILL BE A WASTED VOTE. IT CANNOT ELECT A SINGLE EXTRA SNP PARLIAMENTARIAN. EVERY VOTER WHO WANTS TO GUARANTEE A MAJORITY FOR INDEPENDENCE AT HOLYROOD SHOULD CAST THEIR REGIONAL VOTE FOR THE GREENS, NOT THE SNP.

`Unhandled Rejection: Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/opt/app-root/src/node_modules/next/next-swc-fallback'`

- Claude let me know how to fix the permissions. Weird that I had to do this all of a sudden.

- ChatGPT told me I didn't have the native SWC binary installed. Fixed immediately.

Fell in love with Claude over the past few weeks and have been using that as my daily driver. Yesterday though, an issue came up when deploying a next.js app. Claude gave me a solution to plaster over it which didn't feel right. So I checked ChatGPT out of curiosity and it gave me the root cause.

Screenshot of Firefox setting "Ctrl+Tab cycles through tabs in recently used order"

Looks great! The only thing keeping me from using Chrome now is the Ctrl + Tab shortcut, and that I can't set it to cycle through tabs in recently opened order. Any plans for this? Here's the equivalent setting in Firefox.

Crazy that WD-40 isn't a lubricant, because that's literally all I've ever used it for and it works perfectly every time.

Holy shit, I bought 64GB ram for £91.66 just a few months ago, and now that exact same ram is selling at £600. So glad I built my home lab when I did

Have always been SNP 1, Sc Greens 2 when voting but that might switch around next time. Hoping @ross-greer.bsky.social and @gillianmacmsp.bsky.social take a leaf out of Zack's book and get out talking to people across Scotland to expose Reform. Should be a full-time job doing this imo, priority #1.

Came here to say this. CodeIgniter was mind blowing, and gave me that a-ha moment: "So this is how advanced sites are built".

Is the red torso all one piece? Looks really big. Regardless, would love to see a video on the methods you use to print big things.

I had a smart plug working great for around 5 years till recently when I needed to reset it. Had to download an app, reset my password, accept new T&Cs, and log in, all for it to still not work. Will be buying more Zigbee devices from now on to get around that. Keeps everything local

Have spam emails calmed down for everyone? I used to get dozens every day, but now only get about one per week. Makes it easy to keep even the spam inbox at zero, while keeping an eye out for false positives (or false negatives?)

At this juncture I’d like to point out:
* we’re on the brink of a golden age of medical healing
* there’s enough money in the world to solve every problem in the world
* a united approach could stop the climate crisis
But a small group of sociopaths seeking personal power are going to throw it away.

Just got a cracker of a phishing attempt, bypassing the gmail spam filters. How is TLS working here? Could be wrong, but I'd have thought the autodesk[dot]com DNS or email server would need to be compromised to achieve this?

Leverage I’m really not sure how to start this one. Normally, I write about technical topics. But, that’s not what this is. This is different. So I’m just going to say it.

This was a hard one. But we, as developers for Apple platforms and as humans, have a responsibility to respond.

You are using Cursor AI incorrectly... I'm hesitant to give this advice away for free, but I'm gonna push past it and share it anyway. You're using Cursor incorrectly. Over the last few weeks I've been doing /zooms with software engineers...

Love this idea ghuntley.com/stdlib

Hopefully rules will make their way to Copilot soon

IT IS A COUP This is what should be on every front page in 150 point banner headlines. All I have is this Substack but I lay it beneath your feet and pray to a higher power that I'm wrong.

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP.

It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next.

‘You’re a jackass!’: Elon Musk loses cool with ex-Twitter employee during Spaces chat | NY Post YouTube video by New York Post

Do not ever EVER forget that live Twitter stream where he tried to claim the stack needed a complete rewrite and an ex-Twitter eng asked for details, which he could not provide and tried to dance around the question he could not answer. That was pure internet gold.

Anyone know if zen has a mod/setting that remaps the Ctrl + Tab keys? The default is to cycle through tabs in the order they appear in the sidebar, but I love the Arc implementation where it will cycle through based on opened most recently. Easier to get back to the page that opened a new tab.

The use case I just gave you necessitates that. An SR user cycling through lists won't have the context of the headings before if not linked with an aria-labelledby. Sighted users do have that visual context when scanning for a list

Despite all that, if we use an h2 linked to an aria-labelledby on the ul to label it instead, then it would be valid and necessary, even in your example. And if an aria-labelledby is valid on an element then surely so is an aria-label, even if only technically and not philosophically. 🤷‍♂️
