oil painter here.....

basic linseed oil takes ~70 years to cure properly. pure linseed does, in time, a nice hard firm.

there are a number of plant oils for painting (saffron, sunflower, walnut, linseed, poppy: different dry rates and hardness rates), and there are a number of ways for treating them. Specifically we usually avoid plain boiled linseed oil, as it tends to yellow. That is, I believe, the common hardware store oil paint.

fundamentally - artist oils are engineered for divergent purposes than house oils.

resins are hugely variant - artists are usually suspicious of things that aren't engineered & tested to last > 50 years, so house painting probably has a much larger variety.

the pigments affect the oil dramatically. quinacridone pigments stay wet for days, if not weeks, whereas umbers (due to the manganese) will dry within 24 hours.

with respect to varnishes, that's not how oil painting artists think of varnishes: a traditional varnish is dammar resin dissolved into (pure) gum spirits of turpentine, laid on about 6 months after the painting is touch-dry. Today we typically use a acrylic varnish with a UV protectant, i.e, what's sold under the trade name "Gamvar". Such modern varnishes are designed to not link against the oil and permit stripping and reapplying to use as a protective layer.

it's technically correct to call oil paint colored glue, I think. But it's not useful to think of it that way. I think of it as "oily mud applied with a hairy stick" when I feel reductionist.

I love talking about artist oil paints, happy to answer any other questions.
> it took me a surprising number of iterations to arrive at this point. perhaps that speaks to the fact that i know nothing about "modern" web development, or [..] just how hard it is to keep it simple in a world of complication.

It's the latter. Being both simple and good is not easy.
Good question. As always, it depends on the use-case. But to be helpful, we've added the relevant pricing pages here: https://github.com/serverless-components/RealtimeApp/blob/ma...
Why not? It all depends on how important as an infrastructure CDNs will become. I know that in the States you prefer things to be privately held, but it's not too absurd imagining a future where CDNs are an essential and fundamental service to every day life for the vast majority of the population.
Not charismatic in the slightest. But my church definitely put the "Southern" in Southern Baptist. Very folksy at times. And when I say "healing", it was always healing from God. There was no belief in faith healing.

And on top of all that, I sometimes conflate my "church" memories with school. I was sent to a strict Baptist Christian school. A very conservative and horrible place which often made my church look like a bunch of hippies by comparison. Sometimes the terrible theology from one bleeds into the other.
Stop Blaming Others for Your Problems
“To err is human. To blame someone else is politics.” — Hubert H. Humphrey

We like to blame others for our problems — that way it’s not our fault.

What’s more, in the hope of diminishing responsibility, and therefore pressure to act, many people go to extraordinary lengths to rationalize why it’s not their problem.

This self-reinforcing behaviour is extremely problematic, especially when blame-oriented people get together.

This confirms their sense of exemption, which often spirals out of control in the form of gossip, scaremongering, and social media rants.

The fact is, however, it takes much less energy to take responsibility yourself.

Next time you feel like blaming someone else — instead of rationalizing a way out, think about how you could solve the problem yourself.
I notice that the author doesn't use capitals either and I'm not sure if visually I like that or not. It makes it feel more casual which is nice, but I think it does get harder to parse the sentences.
For sure, it's not up to technologists alone to solve these problems, but we should be willing to be part of the larger discussion and to learn more about the social ramifications of technological choices.

Many (most?) of those typefaces are commercially licensed, and can't serve as a universal "default" for typography across all the USG's web properties. Additionally: almost none of them are in OS/browser font stacks, so using them would incur logistical problems in addition to licensing.
Interesting, I didn't consider the fact that blue-screen filters are quite common nowadays. However, I still like the aesthetic of highlighting something on the page with a color similar to that of a highlighter pen, as opposed to the blue highlight + invert color. I remember I was on some website one day and it had this same effect, which I found to be pleasantly surprising.

This is interesting because you blame human error or malice on the failure of a reactor causing a potentially global issue. For about 60 years now we’ve had nuclear powered ships without a single issue (with exception to the russian subs rusting and decaying while waiting for decommissioning). Wouldn’t malice or human error be more of an issue here vs a land based reactor? I think most enemies would rather bring down a military naval ship over a land based reactor unless causing terror is their goal. Either way, the reactors generally manage themselves, get replaced every few years but overall are very stable and safe. Nuclear is here to stay in ships and the potential to irradiate the world is much higher when you’re floating in water.

> Tools like AWS AppSync and Hasura provision a generated GraphQL API for your database (or in the case of AppSync also other data sources). In contrast, Prisma enables simplified and type-safe database access in various languages.
Oh, that is a relief. Thank you.

That makes a lot of sense. It's not one scale from uninteresting to interesting, but rather showing what makes you you, and prioritizing which.
I guess, but that could make for a long trip through a supermarket cogitating over the ripe fruit, delicious vegetables and tasty snacks.

As a taxpayer I personally am pleased that this is at least one place the government isn't subsidizing some corporation for private gain at my expense. Even if a foundry licensed the font to the government for free, it would be free advertising for that entity. This is one area where I think it makes excellent sense for the government to have done something on its own. The surprise is that it actually looks decent.
I am going for the casual feel, although I am aware for some people it does hurt readability. But I quite like it, and want to indulge a little on my own site :)
What exactly is the "scale" problem here?
>zero tolerance to toxicity

That's a straightforward path into irrelevance. Every user and developer has a bad day or two; every user and developer has an obscure subject that riles them up well beyond what's reasonable. Zero tolerance here means they do go elsewhere, where quality of discussion is at maybe 90% instead of 100%, but at least they can partake in the discussion. Lastly, assholes make for effective leaders. Unfair? Maybe, but holds true through ages and cultures.

A perhaps contrived example, but here goes: email spam. We have complex solutions to it, blacklists, whitelists, heuristics, whatnot, spread between servers and mail clients. Some end-users may indeed be running zero-tolerance rules, but by and large the system as whole is elastic. If you ever end up on a spam shitlist, be it due to a mistake or actual malice, there's always a way back. If the system was indeed geared for zero tolerance, it would be close to useless, if for no other reason because it would be pretty easy to get unsuspecting victims on a shitlist, dealing them permanent harm.

Coming to think of it, no system in wider society is truly zero tolerance, except the death penalty - and that one is usually very heavily protested, just as well as guarded against mistakes and abuses by several layers of interleaved protections.
I’ve found Boston’s city websites [1] to have a nice user experience and fantastic branding that ties in not just all the city’s web properties, but also some official postal mail flyers from the city, printed placards and signage at City Hall, and more.

I haven’t noticed this strong of a branding in other cities I’ve lived, but would love to see examples of others.

Boston even maintains its code on github! [2] Their digital department also has a roadmap of what their initiatives are, and it’s communicated in what I think is such an easily digestible manner [3]

Bravo to their digital team!

You may want to look at QUIC. It'll be part of http/3 and it's on top of UDP. There is a go library called quic-go [1] that works quite well.

Windows does not have crap font rendering, Windows has advanced hinting support that varies by typeface and is infinitely customizable. Other operating systems apply a global hinting that typically discards the font designer's own preferences for how the font should look (especially at smaller scales).

Fonts without that manual hinting look like crap on Windows because Windows does not force through its own rendering/hinting/kerning overrides.

And all that is probably besides the point: if you're referring to how the fonts are rendered within a webpage, all the major browsers use their own custom rendering via one (finely tuned) set of parameters and interfaces for macOS/Linux/etc and another (rudimentary) for Windows. And most webfonts do not include any sort of hinting instructions in the payload, so even if the original typeface had manual hinting and would render well on a proper type engine normally, when served over the web even to a browser doing things right it'll still appear horrible.

In case you didn't know, Microsoft is really big on typography, and has commissioned a number of incredibly beautiful typefaces that render perfectly under Windows (and other operating systems).
I came to say almost the exact same thing. I use dark themes wherever possible, and flux when not, because backlit monitors are not print.

However, I've also started to spend more and more time on my eink Android tablet. Video is of course unwatchable, some apps refuse to launch, and scrolling is unpleasant at best. Still, I think the tradeoffs are worth it, especially late at night.
If your monitor is shining like a bright flashlight in your eyes, then you have your monitor's brightness turned up too high. (And/or your room's ambient lighting is too low.) A window with a white background should appear no brighter than a white piece of paper held up next to your monitor. If you use this technique to adjust the brightness of your monitor, you can read black-on-white text all day long and never get eye fatigue. I've been adjusting my displays this way for ~20 years.
As you may have already noticed from your long time sharing this site with him, it's likely Rayiner agrees with you about giving money vs. giving goods. He's talking about the source of funding, not about the precise mechanism.
Primarily because they focus on interfaces, not publishing. Serif is traditionally used for legibility of long text. Sans always wins for actual interface design (at least those with some manner of complexity) because it's much less visually distracting when used in a variety of weights and sizes. Interfaces tend to have much more mixed usage so we usually go with sans.

Generally just using the system font is fine for most UI interfaces and the only good reasons to change it are:

1. You have a specific branding style you need to achieve (this is becoming rare)
2. Your interface has pixel perfect user created content where the difference in font to font usage between OSes / Browsers would cause actual breaks in layouts from user to user.

I run into the later often, and so we end up picking a neutral style font like this because it's the closest thing to a generic "system font" like Roboto or San Francisco that has a friendlier license.

Personally I prefer Inter UI https://rsms.me/inter/
You could say the same thing about the UK government's equivalent, which I would argue is somewhat of an influence on 18F (though I'm not an insider). They actively open source their work, this being a great example of it: https://github.com/alphagov

I don't think that 18F and US taxpayers lose out on anything by open sourcing this. It builds a lot of good will and they are probably using systems that have been contributed to by others as well.

That's.. the opposite of true - it's not even wrong. Banking in the US is stuck in the '70's, compared to Europe.

Aircraft and shipping require hydrocarbon-level fuel energy densities by mass and/or volume. There are no, or exceedingly few, substitutes.

Petroleum consumption will, can, and has proceeded well beyond EROEI 1:1 parity within such uses -- see Germany's WW2 Fischer-Tropsch process.

The correct measure here is total economic return.

Fuel synthesis is negative EROEI.
Well, the justification - mind you, I don't agree, I'm just answering your (rhetorical?) question - is that speech can sway opinions, opinions can shape behavior, and (the wrong sort of) behavior can lead to chaos, so it's best to nip the wrong sort of speech in the bud before it cascades into genocide. The problem with that sort of "slippery slope" thinking is that it always ends up slippery-slope-ing in the other direction: hate speech regulations designed to silence nazis calling for genocide are almost immediately applied to reasoned, principled, thoughtful people like Jordan Peterson whose conclusions are outside the mainstream.

It is noteworthy that such statistics are not solely reflecting preferences, they may also reflect effects of the dating app itself! Among the many hidden psychological bugs in Tinder, an especially toxic one is that new users are presented with the most attractive profiles first. So the fact that many men don't get anything while others get a lot might be strongly amplified by a system that simply HIDES AWAY those other people.

I understand where you're coming from, but I do think it serves an important purpose here.

The language is chosen to underscore the message and ensure virality. The goal was to get the point in front of as many people as possible, and it did that quite well IMO.

It's a fork of https://github.com/impallari/Libre-Franklin so it'd be a bit against the spirit of things (if even legally permitted) to relicense it to a non-free license. It'd also limit the US taxpayers who wanted to use it in ways that required the full freedom to share with not US taxpayers.

Since this is a general purpose platform with not much in the way of functionality. Meaning, you're not going to build the next Flappy Bird on this platform.

As a user of the term AI, and a professional who works with “AI”, I think the term as used in popular discourse is (in any sense, weak or strong) a way to grab the attention of your audience as opposed to a term which transfers useful meaning from author to reader. I recommend people keep complaining, and loudly, about it, because nonsense marketing language and masturbatory buzzword chasing are bad for society, toxic to discourse, an active hinderance to progress, and a convenient way to distract from and conceal the real issue at hand here. They are, however, really good for people that want to sell nonsense products.
It's not the yield, but the profit.

Statoil makes huge margins on their oil because once the tricky rig was set up, it just comes out like Gold.

Most other natural resources have much thinner margins due to processing, overhead.

'Sweet Crude' i.e. the kind you get in the desert, and 'sweet once it's setup to be' i.e. Statoil ... this is a different thing together from other natural resources.

Norway is like Kuwait, it's almost impossible to compare it to anything else.

They can leave the Oil in the ground for now because they are very rich and have more money than they know what to do with.
I bought a 2 HomePods so I could use them to stream audio from my iOS devices and computers, which I plug into my TV. Fortunately I returned them (due to unimpressive sound quality and the inability to play a stereo pair from MacOS, except via iTunes) before this happened, because I would be very upset if I had sunk hundreds of dollars into a setup that all of a sudden didn't work.

I would understand if Netflix decided not to add support for a new version of Airplay when it comes out, but killing off all Airplay? There's no reason for that.

I have been considering taking a break from Netflix and instead subscribing to Hulu w/o ads, and I think this is the final straw. I'll probably come back eventually, but I won't be as loyal of a customer after this ill-considered move.
