Having to buy “in-season” produce imported from Chile is a special kind of cursed

Solid rocks, but the one on the right… oof 😮💨
look, things suck, everybody is allowed to feel hopeless once in a while, but I do think you have some responsibility to limit the contagion caused by offgas from your personal slough of despond
We solved it by making "bg-primary" the variable that maps to "blue-500". This way, "text-primary" can map to "blue-600", etc.
It's inelegant in that you now have to write "bg-bg-primary", but it has the added benefit of embedding intent when matching colors, like "border-bg-primary".
The tricky part is that if you want something like "bg-primary", that "primary" is a color in itself, shared by bg-, text-, border-, etc. If you map it to --color-blue-500, you'll use the same shade of blue for all those properties, which is undesirable.
This is how we do it at Tailscale, though we still use Tailwind (yes we also get confused all the time).

If you are thinking about switching I've recently given kagi, brave search, and duckduckgo a try. they were all pretty good! and better than I expected going in. ended up with brave and haven't looked back.
I only use google for images and shopping. for those it's still unmatched, unfortunately.
The fact that I don't feel this way while using it at work perhaps says something about my relationship with employment. I'll need to have a think.
Used Claude Code on a side project and it completely ruined it, and by ruined it I mean that it oneshotted it. Now I have this thing, but it doesn't feel mine at all, nor did I learn anything while making it… but the thing it made *is* very useful. AI can be all destination and no journey.

Not only did I discover Eastern Sounds by Yusef Lateef today—mesmerizing, a must-listen, very approachable even for the uninitiated—but for the first time I recognized a Nujabes sample in the wild. Weird feeling!
Surprised to be touched by a David Lynch movie as much as I have been having watched “The Straight Story” (1999).
A tender and seemingly simple quintessential American story about an old man driving a lawn mower across state lines to see his estranged brother.
Sometimes if it sounds like a duck and it swims like a duck, it’s still not a duck, most people intuitively know that.
And yet—for everyone’s sanity—we need to come up with a better definition of “consciousness” soon, or the few that think an LLM is conscious and has feelings won’t leave us alone.
Also the roads are infrastructure that’s also used for commerce, big % of the water is actually sourced and stored from rural areas or suburbs… one could go on
Yes and rural areas produce nearly all the food and most of the renewable energy cities use, as well as access to nature, its tourism and related services.
There is interdependence, and it’s also true that both sides underestimate the extent.
OC alone is >8% of the GDP of California
I don’t. Explain? California’s Central Valley alone produces 1/4th of many of the nation’s food products (fruits, nuts, lots of vegetables)

No, folks are angry because they expect Proton not to hand over info when they are legally required to. Now they believe Proton "is not good for privacy" and will move to an alternative that will also hand over info when they are legally required to. They need to learn not to share info.
All this is doing is making people distrust some of the best privacy tools we have instead of teaching them how to use them.
It should be clear to everyone that businesses will comply with the law. That is why it's important to choose a VPN with no logging, use encrypted services, etc.
There's an argument to be made that the UX of the discoverability of these payment methods is not good enough. But if your threat model includes governments, you should know not to expect companies to disobey the law to protect you, and you should harden your posture accordingly.
Benn, please. Proton clearly provides alternative payment methods that are more privacy-preserving than personal credit cards.
The 404media story is important, but the title *is* misleading. Proton did not help the cops in any meaningful way over what's legally required of them.
If the fact that they complied with a warrant makes you want to move away from Proton, good luck. No business is above the law, which is why encryption is important in the first place.
In fact, it’s better to keep in mind that in most cases both local *and* country of residence laws apply.
