This makes sense:
Wrap everything in your CSS reset with a
@layerrule.When you place any styles inside a layer, these styles automatically have lower priority compared to all unlayered styles on the page. Think of it like an
!unimportantblock. You don’t need to worry about specificity or order of stylesheets at all.

I’ve been obsessed with Jacob Collier since I first saw his Don’t You Worry ‘Bout A Thing cover on YouTube, and one of my favorite genres of videos is genius musicians breaking down the incredible musical stuff Jacob is doing. (He even has his own instrument now.) This reaction and breakdown from Michael Palmisano, who … Continue reading Michael Palmisano on Collier →
I still have mixed feelings about SwiftUI. Trying to give it another chance, because the first 90% is so tempting. But then the final customization of little things, just wish it was AppKit.

I think cats would be into The Cure. Dogs would probably prefer R.E.M.
It’d be best to publish your work in some evergreen space where you control the domain and URL. Then publish on masto-sky-formerly-known-as-linked-don and any place you share and comment on.
You don’t have to change the world with every post. You might publish a quick thought or two that helps encourage someone else to try something new, listen to a new song, or binge-watch a new series.
Also, developers:
Write and publish before you write your own static site generator or perfect blogging platform. We have lost billions of good writers to this side quest because they spend all their time working on the platform instead of writing.
Designers, the same advice applies to you: write first, come up with that perfect design later.

SNL’s opening skit tonight was a lot of fun. Let’s go Kamala Harris! Finish strong. 🇺🇸

No matter what happens Tuesday, what a huge failure that Trump made it back on the ballot after impeachments, criminal convictions, and not accepting the last election. Ridiculous. 🇺🇸
Hi Austin! Reminder we’re resuming the IndieWeb Meetup. This coming Wednesday, Nov 6th, the day after the election, 7pm, Mozart’s Coffee.
People may question my credentials as a language designer. I've designed a very innovative system that unfortunately the academics don't think is worth studying. It's utterly ridiculous. Who says you can only learn from systems developed at big companies or universities. I cover a lot of ground, it's true -- no one gave me permission to create Frontier, but I didn't feel I needed permission. Or funding for that matter. I think what happened is Apple positioned us as less significant than their system scripting language, and people just accepted that, when Frontier is a far superior system. Anyway, the ideas are there anyway, and you're welcome to learn from them.
Good guidelines from Bluesky about how they’re approaching misinformation in the final days of the presidential election. For Micro.blog, no politics will go into Discover until after the election, unless it’s non-partisan reminders to vote.
