- CSS Hell (csshell.com)
Hello, and welcome to CSS Hell, where you will be subjected to 15 unimaginably torturous CSS puzzles. “What did I do to deserve this?”, you ask. But you know perfectly well: you blashpemized Cascading Style Sheets. I saw that time your friends were complaining about CSS and you piled on with “CSS isn’t even a real programming language”. It is. I saw you upvote that Reddit meme about vertically aligning a div. Just use a flexbox. I saw you chuckle sensibly at those CSS Is Awesome designs. I couldn’t stand to let Håkon Wium Lie’s divine creation be slandered in this way, so I decided to show the nonbelievers like you the wrath of CSS’s unhinged power.
- The Education of a Libertarian (cato-unbound.org)
Peter Thiel shares the belief that politics is mostly futile, a conclusion he reached after years of activism. In particular, he believes that democratic politics is unlikely to bring about libertarian outcomes. Fortunately, politics is just one sphere of human life, and it’s possible, he argues, to create technologies that minimize its reach. Thiel describes a “deadly race” between politics and technology, in which human freedom is the prize. The goal of libertarian activism should not be to win in politics, he argues, but to escape it.
