A huge amount of corn goes into producing ethanol to burn as fuel in cars. We can safely take a small portion of agricultural land out of "food" production and replace it with photovoltaics and electrical production instead of using it to produce ethanol and produce productive stable returns for farmers instead of subsiding corn and fuel.

Rex has "sessions" which are like groups of tabs and it is scriptable, I made a little plugin that when invoked pops open a floating terminal asks for a worktree name and sets up a new worktree.

There may be some technical reasons for it, but I'm not convinced. The chin is a core part of the imac design language. Without the chin it would just be a display and not recognizably different from any other display. The chin is part of the design that that makes it recognizably an imac.

I was surprised last week to find that Spotify has turned in to full on social media/youtube now.

I left Spotify off of screentime limits for my son so that he could listen to music or books at bedtime, and found him watching "podcasts" which have full youtube style pages with videos and comments.

The number one thing I want to use it for is opening folders eg Downloads. It has such a hard time ever recommending the right thing.

I migrated our monorepo to use mise with bootstrap and mise-tasks. I was able to delete a whole heap of setup scripts and our brewfile. First time setup is extremely simple now and re-running for updates is blazing fast.

mise has been an absolute delight.

everywhere? all at once? The grid is distributed, this is a solved problem. Most of what is needed now is to build the systems, storage, and transmission lines.

First off, this is very cool, I love these kind of breakdowns from first principal.

This is sending me :)

Three units of measurement in one sentence, my favorite unit is bathtubs.

Then what happened?

Better regulation, better enforcement, anti-smoking advertising campaigns, banning public smoking, and drastically reduced amongst youth and the general public.

Cigarette regulation to reduce smoking starting in the mid/late 90s is the poster child for public policy done well.

I use rails because it makes thousands of good choices that I never have to make. If build apps the rails way I don't have to deal with a mountain of tech debt (in the form bad or ever changing choices).

"dad's" is possessive not plural

yes! I want the opposite. Packed screenings. There are some movies, especially summer blockbusters, that I want to see in a full room.
