To be fair Fred Rogers was a minister, but I would agree that his message to kids was mostly secular.

US beef production is actually slightly higher than 30 years ago. What has fallen is the cattle headcount (now the smallest since 1951) but heavier animals have kept total output up. The recent herd shrinkage owes more to drought economics

Is it really toxic individualism if there’s a (mostly healthy) subculture dedicated to it, though? In a “proper society” we could pass around the talking stick to reach consensus on a whole grab bag of things. I’m not a tagger myself, but I

My hot take: as long as the artists (or vandals I suppose, depending on your point of view) are talented, I don’t actually mind. It adds a “lived-in” character to the space which I quite like. Defacing small business owners’ property is obv

I personally prefer including issues as git trailers: fix thing in foo Issue: ABC-123 Git has plenty of builtins for parsing and formatting these trailers, so you can easily create custom git log aliases that let you see them

I used Charles for a while and also jumped on the Proxyman bandwagon. It’s a slick tool and even works for remote debugging (i.e., an iPhone attached to your computer with a cable).

It’s not Tesonet, Proton is wholly self-owned and managed. Proton VPN was briefly sharing employees with Tesonet during initial app bringup, and that partnership is long over. Naturally due to competition and the huge importance of privacy

I think most of what makes this font readable is the user using context to sort of guess at what the word could be. If you start writing things that aren’t sentences normal people would use (or especially if you start mixing case) it doesn’

I think the author is speaking about a specific tradition of Buddhism, Zen, and is drawing parallels between that tradition and Quakerism. The “picking and choosing” point doesn’t make sense to me from that angle. Are you picking and choosi

I agree with disincentivizing white collar crime with more severe punitive measures, but if you throw capital punishment into the mix you’re just trading one ethical dilemma for another.

Yes, alright, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what has the federal government ever done for us?

Nearly free speech for me is one of those services still (excellently) run by nerds. Its no-frills, functional UI reminds me of the old internet before services and sites began coalescing into bigger, faceless, soulless monoliths. I didn’t

A very poignant and well-written piece, which only gets sadder as you realize the scale and extent of these systemic issues landing people in such places, and it’s only getting worse.

The article, for all of its other faults, also manages to breeze over another crucial point: “Research shows that blue light suppresses the body’s production of melatonin, the sleep hormone. This can be helpful in the morning, when you want

I think they know this and may already be working on it, but if not, it’s likely they’ve done the math that the engineering investment to flesh out the iPad experience wouldn’t be worth the potential payout - people can always get a MacBook
