The worst UX I ever saw was a bunch of dates in a row of 5-7 boxes starting with Sunday (date), Monday (date), and so on. Now if you thought the “and so on” made the row look like SMTWTFS, you would be wrong. It was SMTTSMW. They had decided to only show the next available days, not showing unavailable days, but displaying it in the style of what a normal, sane person would think looked like a calendar.

Fewer companies are making the players as well.

That or it’s just a blind spot. Plenty of people can say they are rational but not execute on it well.

I thought it was possible a generation could have it worse off through an economic crisis or period of 70s style malaise, but I at least thought the government would attempt to improve the lives of its citizens. I didn't expect the ruling political party to be so aggressively trying to make our lives worse.

So weird to see this right after I had Lowe’s cancel my order the first time I bought something from them online. I didn’t even choose special shipping, I just wanted them to send me an item they had in stock.

Blame the person at Google who chose to source from GNIS, without edits.

It’s been under “Share” since before the term “Progressive Web App” was coined.

I'm really surprised nobody has mentioned Paul McCartney yet.

There was a thread here not too long ago about employees getting fired because they were cheating on their expense accounts. C-level execs cheating on pretty trivial amounts. And others brought up star athletes getting paid millions, then getting busted placing thousands of dollars on insider bets. There's a lot of irrationality in these decisions.

It's to distract from the Epstein files.

> means they can be removed just as easily.

Some of them were removed. And then put back. Then increased, then decreased, or otherwise changed depending on what Trump was thinking at 3am while making social media posts

It looks terrible on desktop too.

That’s what I do, and I find this talk about “throwing away” code history baffling. It’s version control. Git branching is cheap.

I make a ton of backup copies. I rearrange the history to how I want before I share it (git history split is great). I keep my nonsense, others see a readable changeset. (Only downside is the occasional housecleaning of old branches, but after a while their usefulness diminishes.)

Yes, and that’s what it’s used for now due to the ad hoc development of HTML and CSS.

> Tailwind code is mostly write-only and maintained by viewing what the component looks like.

I’d add that almost all code is like that, if you mean you only write it once and only look at it again if you need to make a change. And with Tailwind you generally only need to look at the one component, instead of having to go to a separate CSS file to look, and then look through the codebase to see if that code is used anywhere else.
