Too many liabilities, squatters, delinquents, etc for private landowners. It's a legal headache to create a "camping ground" on your property in the US.

Thanks for sharing, I love minimalist CSS frameworks that are easy to digest. My go-to for the past ~5 years has been https://milligram.io -- mainly for the grid and basic styling -- although, the author hasn't updated it i

I didn't see a Medium banner. But just curious, how did this Medium banner you mentioned hurt your experience? Did you have to scroll past it, or press a close button on a modal? We need to stop pretending that internet platforms/

This is one of the craziest, most convoluted approaches to randomness I've ever heard of. I love it. Personally, I would've just had a third-party roll a die to establish the order. If there's a tie, roll again. More than 6 s

All the more reason to attempt to harness this insane amount of power if we can also alleviate potential devastation by sort of venting that natural build up of energy resulting in eruptions.

To be fair, there are also metal gates, probably aluminum... but they only close after 8pm. I think it's more for aesthetics really. The communities in Palm Beach County miss the mark on being bad & boujee.

A similar argument I have with my wife: She insists on only living in gated communities. I'm like, "it's just a PVC pipe that goes up and down, it's not fort knox." But for some reason that gives her peace of mind,

As an artist by trade, you're damn right I want my kids & grandkids to profit from my IP (though I'm no Walt Disney), whether 20 or 100 years later. Art is different my friend. I'm not piecing together code from StackOver

People said the same thing about Twitter with its original 140 character limit. Just easily-consumable content you can scroll through. I enjoy the artwork I find on there. If I want YouTube links, music videos, news articles, etc I'll

They're already using DALL-E for that 2021 fad. I'm more curious of how this will effect stock photography. Soon anyone can generate the exact image they're looking for, no matter how obscure.
