Making tepache, like any other fermentation project, is a lesson in co-operation

Top 50 global and top 100 US retailers by sales.

The fact that sales people tend to talk too much is nothing new, but Blair has observed in recent client work just how profound of an effect this pervasive problem has on sales outcomes.

Laundry cycles wear out fabrics – so try steaming, airing and slower cycles on the washing machine

An explainer for doing web development using only vanilla techniques. No tools, no frameworks — just HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

A major part of cultural stasis, then, may stem from most artists refusing to embrace contemporary aesthetic choices. In fact, I would argue that the Nineties ushered in a paradigm of rationalized, naturalistic aesthetics anchored in the meta-knowledge that artworks have a longer shelf life when they feel “real” and avoid mannerist/over-indulgent faddish aesthetics.

With a single logo, all that has to be done when departments change is an edit to the html of the relevant section of GOV.UK. This change is so mundane it attracts no scrutiny, even in the most turbulent political contexts. No drama, just a simple code change, as it should be.

Recommended structures and workflows to make your team more efficient

From my experience, Google now seems to operate on a "default to not index" basis. It only includes content in its index when it perceives a genuine need.

Okay, fast forward. We’ve spent the last 5 years making Tailscale the solution to that problem. Every device gets a cert. Every device gets an IP address and a DNS name and end-to-end encryption and an identity, and safely bypasses firewalls. Every device can be a peer. And we do it all without adding any latency or overhead.

This is great.

The term protopia was a new one on me.

Since the early 1950s, Marimekko designers have created some 3,500 prints. At the moment, the number of patterns in Maripedia is limited. We’re constantly adding more designs to our virtual print library.

Good, brief JTBD primer.

In an age of shocking reversals, Yeats’s theory of historical cycles – “day & night, night & day for ever,” as he once put it – rings true. The only consolation the poem offers is the knowledge that, for one reason or another, every generation has felt the same apocalyptic shudder that Yeats did 100 years ago.

The company is guided by a simple idea—hook shoppers by offering high-quality products at the lowest prices. It does this by keeping markups low while charging a fixed membership fee and stocking fewer distinct products, all while treating its employees generously.

Or, if you want to put it into more practical language: simply spend 3x more on design and branding than any of your competitors.

Savouring my first post-fasting meal, I thought I had caught a glimpse of what Longo’s ideas could mean for improving my longevity. But I also knew how difficult it would be for me (or realistically, anyone) to commit to a lifelong regular fasting regimen – especially if that meant eating powdered mushroom soup until I reached 110 years old.

Baseline gives you clear information about which web platform features are ready to use in your projects today. When reading an article, or choosing a library for your project, if the features used are all part of Baseline, you can trust the level of browser compatibility. By aligning with Baseline, there should be no surprises when testing your site.

We wanted a browser support policy that would focus on outcomes for the user. Rather than being fixated on specific browsers, we needed to consider capabilities, using the mindset that sees modern coding use feature detection in preference to browser detection. It turns out there’s an initiative for that.

A good guide.
