Sakura, a minimal CSS framework

oxal.org/projects/sakura

How exactly does sakura help you?
- Just drop it in, even on existing HTML content, to get a pretty-looking website (everything “just works”)
- Quick prototyping, especially when working on backend sites and can’t yet be bothered to fidget with CSS/HTML
- Building a quick (but pretty) site/blog for your best friend or aunt!
- No need to remember tons of different class names for every other CSS framework
- Works amazingly with markdown-generated HTML pages (eliminates the need for hacks like including .img img-responsive in <img></img> tags generated from markdown-parser
- Wonderful for people who aren’t really good or interested in design as sakura is nothing but a set of reasonable defaults

THE RISE OF THE DISAPPEARING POLYMORPHS

hackaday.com/2024/07/24/the-rise-of-the-disappearing-polymorphs

Reads like some sci-fi story. How is that even a thing??

Science and engineering usually create consistent results. Generally, when you figure out how to make something, you can repeat that at will to make more of something. But what if, one day, you ran the same process, and got different results? You double-checked, and triple-checked, and you kept ending up with a different end product instead?
Perhaps it wasn’t the process that changed, but the environment? Or physics itself? Enter the scary world of disappearing polymorphs.

The creepy sound of online trackers

I can't get the noise out of my head. People who watch the video express awe and disgust. And that is why Dutch software developer Bert Hubert's experiment is so powerful. It doesn't really uncover something that we shouldn't already know. Something we often choose to ignore. The brilliance is

Notes Against Note-Taking Systems

sashachapin.substack.com/p/notes-against-note-taking-systems

Kind of controversial take on note taking systems. I can relate though, because i was lost in a burden of creating perfect knowledge management system for a long time without creating any knowledge. Simplest approach with commonplace notebook is what working for me now.
Comments are also useful.

Getting lost in your knowledge management system is a fantastic way to avoid creating things.
Most heart-stopping writing comes from synthesizing the previously unarticulated in the moment. Rather than reaching for your database, try channeling what’s in the air at this very second. These read/write errors are what we call originality.
Leonardo da Vinci kept all of his notes in one big book. If he liked something he put it down. This is known as a commonplace book, and it is about how detailed your note-taking system should be unless you plan on thinking more elaborately than Leonardo da Vinci.
Shun the useless adoption of the aesthetic of the useful. When something can be like work or like play, never make it work.
