You can get a lot closer with only small modifications:

    input[type="radio"] {
      appearance: none;
      margin: 0;
      width: 25px;
      height: 25px;
      background: white;
      border-radius: 50%;
      display: inline-grid;
      place-content: center;
      box-shadow: 0 2px 10px color(display-p3 0 0 0/0.5);

      &::before {
        content: "";
        width: 11px;
        height: 11px;
        border-radius: 50%;
      }

      &:checked::before {
        background: color(display-p3 0.383 0.317 0.702);
      }
    }

Chiming in to recommend it too! The policies are really good too, for instance this is one from our code base:

    policy action(:invite_user) do
      forbid_unless actor_attribute_equals(:role, :admin)
      authorize_if {App.Checks.OnlyAllowedRoles, roles: [:student, :parent]}
    end

And what's nice is that these policies apply for both the API and the frontend code without having to do anything extra :)

Maybe torturing the metaphor, but building a road up the mountain often ruins the view.

This seems like a non-story to me. Once you post a code repo on the public internet, and especially on a site as prolific as GitHub, you should treat everything in there as public information.

> Dror said that Lasso reached out to all affected companies who were “severely affected” by the data exposure and advised them to rotate or revoke any compromised keys.

If the "companies affected" have any idea what they are doing all of the exposed tokens and the like would have been rotated a long time ago.

New comment by going_north in "Tailwind CSS v4.0 Beta 1"

going_north — Fri, 22 Nov 2024 09:33:27 +0000

CSS first configuration is a good change! It seems like it would makes it easier to combine tailwind with regular CSS files which still uses the same design tokens. This is useful e.g. when creating a site with a component architecture where the components are styled with CSS, but some of the content comes from CSS or markdown.
