HSL uses a single parameter for the color (unlike rgb), so you’d just need to make profiles with different forbidden hue ranges. You lose non-rainbow colors by maxing out saturation and lightness, but it’s a start.

With the exception of a ok-warm-but-disappointing-cold bagel recipe I’ve been working on for a year or so, every previous attempt I made for the last ten years has turned out to be a bread brick, and the new recipe makes much better bagels than mine.

I have ADHD, so having a time scheduled with as many reminders as I need is really helpful.
Professionally, I use a combination of Jira, Bitbucket, Edge’s tab groups feature, Outlook’s calendar, and Windows Sticky Notes. I keep a tab group with the Bitbucket PR list and the list of Jira tasks assigned to me, and another one with a tab for each task I’m working on that day. I keep checklists for things like how I like to approach different kinds of tasks and company processes in sticky notes on my computer’s desktop. I occasionally use Outlook reminders.

Comment on US Supreme Court rejects challenge to Native American child welfare law in ~life
just_a_salmon LinkThe Supreme Court on Thursday preserved the system that gives preference to Native American families in foster care and adoption proceedings of Native children, rejecting a broad attack from Republican-led states and white families who argued it is based on race.

In her court filing, Hernandez said the unnamed informant participated in “prayer meetings” with relatives of at least one of the Proud Boys on trial and had discussions with family members about replacing one of the defense lawyers on the case. The informant also has been in contact with at least one of the defense lawyers and at least one of the five defendants, Hernandez wrote.

These devices have low enough resources that the server just handles serving application files, authenticating users, and forwarding SNMP messages to and from the browser, meaning the client application has to do everything else. Browser JS is definitely capable of doing real work. (Use TypeScript, the type system hides 99% of JS’s infamous warts)

The forces of the Sun and Moon are each four and five orders of magnitude greater than the force exerted by the next two planets, Venus and Jupiter (and remember, these are maximums). WRT effects on tides:
Even when the two [Earth and Venus] are separated by their minimum distance of 0.3 AU, which happens every year and a half on average, Venus increases the size of our ocean tides by less than 0.005 cm.
Additionally, since the subtext of all this is repetitive stress’ effect on the Earth’s crust, the forces from the Sun and Moon each have a roughly 24 hour periods, compared to periods on the scale of years for the planets.
I’m satisfied that the tidal forces from the planets are incapable of causing an earthquake that the Sun’s and Moon’s tidal force couldn’t.

Anecdotally, I got a used 2022 Bolt EUV recently, and every new listing I called about was an order that had already been picked up but hadn't been removed from the dealer's website. When I asked a dealer about order lead times, they said they wouldn't expect to get it this year.
