I just saw an Ailanthus Webworm moth this morning in Michigan and was struck by how different it looked from most insects I see here. They're native to the south but have apparently been starting to adapt to colder conditions and move further north thanks to the massive explosion of the horribly invasive Tree of Heaven, which is somehow still legal for nurseries to sell even though it is extremely aggressive and is a host for Spotted Lanternflies.

Anyways, since I've gotten into native plant gardening I have gained a huge appreciation for insects. You can find some really amazing things in your own yard if you pay attention.

I like iterators in JavaScript well enough. I understand the syntax of this just fine, it doesn't seem that ridiculous. It's definitely a little less simple than Go usually tends to be, but it's certainly not impenetrable. And you don't have to use it. I personally probably won't use it but I don't care that it's there.

I really really like Affinity. I'm not a pro but they offer all of the tools I would possibly need in a much better designed package compared to open source alternatives like gimp. Adobe has more bells and whistles like AI, but I don't need that. And I'm very happy to support their no-subscription model, it's very refreshing.

If the "unburning" could be done using zero-emission renewable energy it seems like that would the best or only way to effectively remove excess CO2. I'm skeptical that there will ever be a true magic bullet carbon capture technology like that though.

I have been wanting a simple CMS which is effectively just a layer on top of GitHub for a while, I took a stab at it a couple years ago but bounced off so I'm very excited to see this! Definitely going to give it a try.

Yes, downtown Detroit is a wasteland of parking lots. Some incredibly beautiful old buildings have been demolished and turned into vacant lots, it's a real shame. Downtown really needs more development and I think this is a great way to force the issue. When I lived downtown, I had to drive 20 minutes to the suburbs for groceries. And now I have a house in the suburbs instead of Detroit because of that.

The autopsy found there wasn't gunpowder on their hands and protesters who were there claim that isn't what happened. Police lie all the time.

I'm not from Texas so genuinely asking, is there hard proof that anyone specifically invested in power infrastructure because of bitcoin mines in a way they wouldn't have otherwise?

Agreed, everyone who complains about dependency arrays almost certainly hasn't used the linting rule. That being said, I'm not sure that an API is well-designed if the only way to use it effectively is by forcing you to even know there is an eslint plugin to begin with, and then once you do know that, that means now you're being forced to add eslint to your project whether you like it or not. And sometimes eslint just stops working for who knows what reason, I have a developer on my team who's constantly dealing with issues where his eslint/prettier setup isn't running correctly.

I think we have more than enough data points around the globe to say that the temperature increase is statistically significant. Rural USA is not the center of the world where all temperature measurements should be based on.

HTMX actually has a built-in way to show loading states. You just have to add a child element with the class "htmx-indicator" and HTMX will fade that element in while it's waiting for a response.
