![your terminal emulator has 16 configurable colours
normal bright
black 0 0
red 1 1
green 2 2
yellow 3 3
blue 4 4
purple 5 5
cyan 6 6
white 7 7
these are called “ANSI colours”
you can configure them in your terminal emulator’s settings
OR
run a script that prints escape codes to magically set up your colours https://wzrd.page/scripts
(my favourite way!)
programs can use ANSI colours by printing an escape code
echo -e "\033[34m blue text"
3 means “normal fg colour”
4 means “blue”
the default ANSI colours often have bad contrast
ls --color often displays directories in ANSI “blue” which can look like this:
[bar of illegibly dark text against a dark background, which says “can you read this?”]
ANSI “yellow” on white also often has bad contrast
“minimum contrast”
Picking ANSI colours which always have good contrast is impossible.
the only real solution is to use a terminal emulator which has a “minimum contrast” feature (like iTerm or kitty) which will fix contrast issues
usually if a program is writing to a pipe, it’ll disable colours
$ grep blah file.txt | less
grep, represented by a box with a smiley face: better turn off colours so that I don’t accidentally show someone `^[[34ntext here]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nzrozayxq764zbgl4qtp5ald/bafkreihol4fwl3kovaomvf63vpypyc34mbtavnnezoywckwtbwcik5xgre@jpeg)

Why you can’t grow cool-climate plants in hot climates — Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't
Since moving to Deep South Texas 4 years ago I've come to realize that many plants I used to love growing in the cool mild maritime climate of the SF bay area are impossible to grow where I live. This...

The way I like to put it is thusly: If homeopathy worked, not only would our understanding of huge swaths of long proven physics, chemistry, and biology have to be wrong. Our understanding of huge swaths of long proven physics, chemistry, and biology would have to be *spectacularly* wrong.
We can confidently assert the probability of homeopathy being real is so small we can call it zero. For homeopathy to be a real thing would be literally extraordinary. And as they say, "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence". Which brings us to the next point, the evidence... 2/

The books I finished in 2024 (mostly audio). Lots of bios of American founders as well at TE Lawrence and Gertrude Bell (Arabia). Some stoic writers and Aristotle. Also Wayfinders and Captive Collections about exploitation and indigenous knowledge. God of Small Things and The East Indian were great.
