58 bytes of CSS to look great nearly everywhere

When making this website, i wanted a simple, reasonable way to make it look good on most displays. Not counting any minimization techniques, the following 58 bytes worked well for me:

main {
  max-width: 38rem;
  padding: 2rem;
  margin: auto;
}

//Notes
//
//All colours are generated from Material Design Docs
//Colours have a base, a set of shades (50-900) accent colours
//In addition a companion set of contrast colours are included for colouring text / icons
// Example usage
// class="w-full bg-red-600 text-red-600-constrast"

After automatically updating Postgres to 10.0 via Homebrew, the pg_ctl start command didn't work.
The error was "The data directory was initialized by PostgreSQL version 9.6, which is not compatible with this version 10.0."

Database files have to be updated before starting the server, here are the steps that had to be followed:

# need to have both 9.6.x and latest 10.0 installed, and keep 10.0 as default
brew unlink postgresql
brew install postgresql@9.6
brew unlink postgresql@9.6
brew link postgresql
