instead of setting reciprocal tariffs, USA should’ve cut the red tape and excessive regulation, and that would do way more good than instigating a trade war with the whole world wanna bring production back home? cut the manufacturers some slack

as far as I understand, tipping is about rewarding someone going beyond the baseline expectations of their job title a server who brings food and asks whether everything is okay with my meal is basic service. it’s included in the price of my meal. or am I supposed to go and fetch the meal myself? a server who can explain what I might like from the menu if I have no idea what to order, chimes in with chef’s specials, recommends an underrated wine I enjoy, and proactively ensures we’re not abandoned for 40 minutes when the kitchen is running behind… that’s going beyond baseline service, and that level of care and attention begs for a tip and repeat business the American-style culture of tipping is toxic, because tipping is expected. it creates a dysfunctional relationship between the customer, the staff, and the place of business. because of our biases, we all, on each side of this relationship, are unwilling to see the issue: tips are extras at the customer’s sole discretion

Happy Sunday. I’d post the final result but we’ve devoured these delicious rib-eyes before I realized I might want to take a commemorative photo. 🥩 Obligatory half-pot of peppercorn sauce.

“AI slop” is a perfect encapsulation of the type of content we see more and more each day everywhere: low effort, low quality, high supply. What’s interesting is that this term is a sign that people who care about quality are done with the novelty phase and are curating again.

my timeline is full of Studio Ghibli style images, time to mix things up. here's what GPT-o1 suggested for my profile pic in the style of Batman: The Animated Series. I'm tempted to give it a go.

i'm wondering why the hell Drizzle is even called an ORM when it's so limited in querying relations that you have to basically do everything yourself AND on top of that KNOW your SQL very well? a good ORM allows you to query USING RELATIONS, not using SQL — that's the whole fucking point. look at Ruby on Rails, they practically invented the modern ORM approach. an engineer requiring data for their frontend should not have to know which type of JOIN query is appropriate for their given task; they should be able to say "i need to find a USER by ID and fetch all their VOTES" and be done with it. instead, we're told to chain some SQL-like methods and check SQL docs every 5 secs to make sure we've used LEFT JOIN instead of LATERAL JOIN for a subquery. what year is this? and don't get me started on the lack of end-to-end TypeScript safety. If you've ever written a bunch of DTOs just to get some shit from Postgres, you know exactly what I mean. /rant

sufficient experience and expertise in a specific area is often manifesting as a "gut feeling" or intuition, due to a phenomenon called "pattern recognition" ask your hospital specialists, and why their training is so goddamn long. their whole purpose is to develop "gut feeling" based on extensive experience

are there any UI libraries for building just the frame UI similar to Frog UI? looking to significantly speed up development of frames in Next.js without hooking up the entire dependency stack of hono + frog, just to have base component abstractions cc: @df

can anyone tell me why frame embeds are expected to use a text/plain response with embedded JSON data inside HTML meta, instead of a simple application/json response with the same JSON data? asking for a friend
