Drupal has been pretty good ever since Drupal 8. A lot better than WordPress IME, which isn't exactly a high bar, but it's THE bar now.

The churn stopped after D8 - upgrades from D8 -> D9 -> D10 have all been painless with no major overhauls to the API. The template system, the granular caching infrastructure, namespacing, package management, Symfony core, are good.

It's a solid framework to build on without having to reinvent the CMS wheel.

I made the same mistake in my thinking wrt truck drivers. I've learned a lesson to be more skeptical about these things.

So far I see that my own work as a programmer has changed radically, and it is far more productive. I still have a lot of work, but I really don't know how this will play out.

Nice one :)

Let's not adopt the fool's rebranding of AI please. Changing it because Trump thinks "artificial" means "fake" comes off as pure political sycophancy.

Calvino's other creations are good too and recommended. I really enjoyed Cosmicomics!

This doesn't really explain why to round the rectangles at all, the logical conclusion of the points in this post is to use square corners

Yeah, let's not forget defence budgets that are spent to prop up oil availability too.

Neobrutalism has been around long enough as a web style (ca. 2021?) that the name has already stuck, but you're totally right.

I'm way in over my depth here, but does this maybe that the unification of gravity and quantum physics is further out of reach than we might have hoped? Because it would be easier if gravity disappeared at quantum scales - then it could be understood as an emergent property that emerges out of quantum when you move to bigger scales. But now we have to find something that underlies both.

Great question. You can get some really pronounced rain erosion grooves and patterns on limestone, I wonder if this effect is part of the story, or if it's just normal dissolving going on.

There's a culture for modding Vespas in Indonesia that I think HN folks would find interesing - check out "Vespa extreme"/"Vespa gembel" - sort of like if mad-max was in the jungle culture of chopping and rebuilding old Vespas into all sorts of wild road machines. Pretty interesting kind of hippie/punk subculture.

Or Gojek!

What's working for our family (2 boys) is: restricted screen time, no phones until 14, heavy parental controls on devices when they do get them, rationed gaming on weekends only (2 sessions of 1h20 each), enforced reading time before bed, lots of sports.

Both of our kids read a lot, one is a bookworm, the other could take it or leave it tbh, but at least he can sit down and read, which is not a skill to be taken for granted anymore unfortunately.
