First time I used #TailwindCSS I liked the approach but I was not fully convinced.
This time I have to say I'm more on this boat.
I see more and more component libraries based on this framework, and I'm also impressed by design tools (like Figma, but more are coming) that can easily generate TW code.
Finally, for some reasons, it seems that AI tools can easily haandle this kind of output (see https://velocity.builder.io/)

Imagine if a company made an AI tool that instead of doing all the "design”, it did all the stuff the tech bros love doing instead. They'd lose their shit.
I put design in quotes because design weirdly isn't just colouring stuff in, but try telling a comp sci guy that lol

Developers are way too focused on launches.
Sure, if you have a large audience, it may work. And yes, you can hit the jackpot with a famous person sharing it. (famous people, share more stuff made by unfamous people!) But, this kind of thing just reeks of survivorship bias. I bet the emotional toll of a "failed" launch has killed a huge amount of products.
Getting noticed is **incredibly** difficult, but a soft launch has big advantages, and I think it should be the default.

Has anyone (other than me) proposed making bottom-posting the default when quote-boosts are implemented?
Bottom-posting is IMO the difference between "hey look at this" culture and "yes, and..." culture. It's a small difference, but I think it frames conversations in a very different way.

I recently started listening to an audiobook of Robinson Crusoe in the car (read by David Warner of The Omen and a few Star Trek movies!) while doing errands and for a while I was like, "You know, there are those comic book adaptations of classic literature. What if I did something like that but as a visual novel."
Anyway, I discarded that idea when Robinson ended up in "The Brazils" and started buying slaves.

The #WebP buffer overflow bug that caused all the major browsers to issue patches earlier this week (e.g. #Firefox 117.0.1) also affects applications built with Electron. #1Password issued an update today for their Mac build.
The CVE affects the underlying webp library, not just web browsers, so this will be an ongoing issue.
"Who uses #libwebp?
"There are a lot of applications that use libwebp to render WebP images, I already mentioned a few of them, but some of the others that I know include: #Affinity (the design software), #Gimp, Inkscape [not according to Martin Owens, see comment below], #LibreOffice, #Telegram, #Thunderbird (now patched), #ffmpeg, and many, many #Android applications as well as cross-platform apps built with #Flutter."https://stackdiary.com/critical-vulnerability-in-webp-codec-cve-2023-4863/

Practising Permacomputing: Call for workshop participants
"This autumn is dedicated to Practising Permacomputing; a concept and a nascent community of practice-oriented around issues of resilience and regenerativity in computer and network technology derived, among others, from permaculture principles. As part of this community, space is offered to makers and thinkers in digital culture (and other connected areas) to put the fundamentals and applications of #permacomputing into practice through a series of workshops, a meetup, and a concluding day of public presentations with guests. Join us to explore permacomputing futures!"

LATimes: “In the lawsuit, Yu claims Gascón’s botched prosecution led nearly half of Konnech’s clients to end their contracts with the company and cost him roughly $80 million. The Yu family has also been the subject of a litany of violent threats, according to the lawsuit, which claims someone also left dead animals outside the family’s home after news of his arrest broke.
The L.A. County Registrar-Recorder’s office — which would have been the victim in the case brought by L.A. County prosecutors — never cut ties with Konnech. Mike Sanchez, a spokesman for the office, told The Times last year it had received no evidence that anyone’s information had been compromised.”

In Sw/Sh, the event raids often had raised shiny odds and were also (until the DLC) the only way to get Gigantamax pokemon. Gen 9: most event raids are against a super-strong enemy that you can catch only once. More fun but also little incentive to do more than 1 raid per event.
Also the event raids are almost always shiny locked and the shiny odds for regular raids are actually LOWER than on the overworld.

This kinda points back to a problem I've had with the tera raid system: individual raids are more fun and strategic than in gen 8 but the extrinsic rewards aren't as good.

And the source files have been released on Blender Cloud too, as well as some curated shots https://studio.blender.org/films/wing-it/
It's really impressive how much of a 2d look they achieved using 3d models etc. I wouldn't have known! Really cool achievement.
