Agree 100%.

And 70% of those deaths are not considering "speeding-related"[1].

Focussing on speeding seems to ignore that there are other serious issues that contribute to the outsized danger on US roads.

Those things aren't really equivalent though. The percentage of pedestrian deaths in a collision at given speeds is starting from a 100% rate of incidence. So whilst it's predictable, it's not necessarily probable. How many pedestrians is a driver actually likely to hit driving at 40mph? Generally speaking, zero. How many people is a lunatic swinging golf club likely to hit in a crowded club, quite a lot more than zero.

Nevertheless, I appreciate your point. I was thinking only of speeding on highways. Speeding is an issue and shouldn't be minimised.

Sure, it's problem.

But speeding-related fatalities accounted for 30% of traffic fatalities in the US for 2022. Which implies there are plenty of other issues, such that I think saying "speeding is violence" doesn't really do anything to address the problem.

I'd argue that the main issue on US highways is a lack of discipline.

US drivers get away with murder in terms of undertaking, tailgating, camping in fast lanes under the speed limit, not to mention driving vehicles that are in such states of disrepair that it's a miracle the drivers get anywhere.

I'm way more relaxed cruising at 160km/h in Europe than literally any stretch of the I-5.

On your first point, that sounds like violence to me, sure. It's almost guaranteed to cause harm, and the club swinger probably knows that.

On your second point, the likelihood that speeding will cause actual harm to another person is vastly lower, and certainly not an outcome expected or intended by drivers generally speaking. Seems silly to call that "violence" when we can just call it irresponsible, negligent, etc.

I agree say this is generally true in the United States, where driving discipline on highways is basically non-existent. Although I would stop short of calling it "extremely dangerous".

Sure, but I'm not sure "aggressively dangerous driving" is broadly equivalent to violence, or should be described as such.

At any rate, I'm not attempting to say traffic fatalities and injuries aren't a problem.

Yeah, having driven long distances in all kinds of rental cars with speed limit information shown on the dashboard, the car "knows" the speed limit accurately about 50% of the time.

what's woke?

What industry do you think Tom Ford was talking about?

Tom Ford commented on the issue of counterfeit and "knock off" products in the fashion industry, he said after some research (I assume by him/his company) they found that the people buying the cheap counterfeit products weren't their customers anyway, and so they weren't losing anything.

Import maps and type="module" are pretty good.

I prefer to spend my time building against that instead of another bundler.

Found the GPT bot

Given that it's a design newsletter, I have to say that the design of the daily lists is not very good... low information density and my eyes are darting around all over the page. The https://archive.sidebar.io/archives is much better.

I drive a twenty year old Volvo, and I went to a dealer to buy a new one a few months ago. I didn't buy anything because basic functions are all behind crappy screen UIs instead of good old buttons.

I would definitely pay an extra $1,000 for a version with actual buttons... and a smaller screen.

Indeed it is a matter of opinion.

Much like the cliché "the internet is the sum of all human knowledge".

If you have deep specialist knowledge in a field that has existed for more than thirty years it can become quite obvious that the internet really in is nowhere near "the sum" of our knowledge.

I think "nearly every human" is a bit more hand wavy than the 60% statistic.

> used by nearly every human on earth

Roughly 60% of earth's population used the internet in 2023. So not quite nearly every human.

Quite an aggressive response.

I don't expect anything of the bible... it's just a silly old book that I never think about.

What I said is accurate. I'm aware of what the bible is comprised of.

Your response is the usual "oh those bits are just old and silly".

To say that my comment is "dishonest at best" relies on cherry-picking the parts that are palatable in modern society, as you've pointed out.

I'm tending to think that Figma components should not be maintained in a serious way... design artefacts should be ephemeral and I think it's less effort overall if designers reuse or create whatever they need when they need it.

Keeping a huge Figma component library in sync with a component library / design system feels more and more like busy work.

Arnold Rimmer enters development.

I've been messing around with Bun, esbuild and TSX templates for generating static sites. Bun feels like the future.

I suppose Flash was the new HyperCard.

Almost anyone could get an awful lot done without knowing much about anything.

This sounds an awful lot like doublethink.

What is so free about a central bank setting interest rates?

Apology accepted

Awesome dude!

Well, when I get into "the real world" I'll make sure to change my mind, especially if I'm making "you know, components..."

I think by then these distinctions won't be "too subtle" for my simple mind.

Thanks bro!

Because I'm not the one who introduced the distinction.

I'm curious how you would differentiate TW from Bootstrap.
