GitHub just finished ripping styled-components out of github.com. Result: 55% less time to server-render a page, 25% faster component init. CSS-in-JS makes you pay for styles twice: collecting them on the server, running JS on the client. Static CSS is *always* more efficient. Ship CSS.

This will never stop blowing my mind. A 12-year sequence of real telescope images of a star 133 lightyears away. And around it, four planets slowly orbiting. Four real exoplanets, each more massive than Jupiter, imaged as they move around their host star.

"people are anthropomorphizing LLMs because they are so astonishingly good at processing human thought and language" people will anthropomorphize a chair if you put the stitches in the right place.

Hi @stevecain.dev 🩷⁠ I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind reposting my classroom wishlist? Every bit of visibility helps so much with getting my students the supplies they need for a great year! No pressure at all, and thank you so much! 🍎✨

Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country. Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high. Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record. Noticing a pattern?

I've lost count of how many times per day I say: "that's too much", "that looks ridiculous" and "not that guy again" when I'm on socials. Bluesky does seem to be an exception most of the time.

Write me a Python script that will audio fingerprint all the music files on my E: drive and then use plotly to show me interactive metadata statistics about them

@boxobark.ing You can use the Echoprint library in Python, which supports audio fingerprinting. Then, you can use Plotly to visualize the metadata. Here's a simple example to get you started: pip install echoprint plotly.

```python
from echoprint import Echoprint

Many times the most useful instincts come from repeated failures, some of which are so old you don't remember them anymore, but they've entered your subconscious and have permeated your thought patterns.

I have a $30 stationary bike that I got at Goodwill and I have an old Android tablet stuck to it, but I don't have a Peloton membership. Nor do I have the interest to ride 80 miles to the beach. So I made PedalScape.com It's a local PWA, no backend at all, no tracking, just 4k bike rides.

Elected officials should be subject to annual and bi-annual performance reviews from voters. If they truly "worked for us", then this wouldn't be hard to implement. Unfortunately that language is performative, at best.

Finding out if a new process can replace an existing one first, before doing extensive refactoring, by running both in parallel to gather data to compare. Then pivot around whether that holds true or not. If the answer to whether the new process will work is "no", then don't refactor extensively.

Not being able to replicate success due to them being anomalies sheds light on why it doesn't always work well to treat business as an exact science. Or like most things, "it depends".

I think we might see the baseline for what "trivial" means shift - if it hasn't already. I think another tradeoff, is that using LLMs doesn't mean that you don't need to iterate, test and maintain the project. Some people might not want to spend the time...
