The two REPLs are not the same, unless editor-integrated Python REPLs have gone through a revolution since I last checked. See https://lambdaisland.com/blog/29-12-2017-the-bare-minimum-cl... and circa 22:49.90 of [Stop

You're right, the academic homepage style has always been a major inspiration, including during this project. (It was one part of refusing to use a more robust Javascript solution to get link underlines which clear descenders.) I still

I would say that "first class" is a perfectly reasonable way to phrase it. While clojure.org doesn't use that exact phrase, host interop has always been a central pillar of the language: >Clojure is designed to be a hosted

>Someone will mention the Java libraries, but at that point you are not really writing Clojure. Uh, Clojure was literally written from day one on the founding principle of Java interop? Using Java libraries from a functional lisp is lite

Kevin Anderson (@KevinClimate) speaks prolifically [1] about how the (perverse) incentives in climate science are actually in the opposite direction from your expectation, towards less alarmism. Policymakers want to hear that the problem is

Sorry for the trouble. Both of these should be fixed now. The second table style PR wasn't fully tested in FF.

We've fixed the fake italics, I think I've fixed the mono text (if you're talking about sizing), I've consistentified apostrophes, and changed how underlines are handled. Sidenotes are still a thorny issue (I'd appr

While I recognize that any mimicry of Tufte's print approach in CSS is going to come across as prescriptivism, that was not the point. Tufte CSS was a toy project that seemed worth sharing. It turns out, figuring out which of his metho

I agree that design is medium-specific, but I think the idea of "looking as good as Tufte's books" is an underspecified one. Can a webpage be a better book than a book? No. Can a webpage be a better webpage by borrowing some

I agree regarding the example document. It's been troubling, because the fact of the matter is that those headings are legitimate, it's just that there's a mismatch between the goals of the description document and the goals

I agree that Butterick is a better resource for general web typography. I was aiming less as a prescriptive resource (which Tufte's work definitely is, and which Butterick's is a good example of for the web) but as a way to work o

Thanks for the input. This spurred me to make some changes to tables: https://github.com/daveliepmann/tufte-css/commit/c46b8b516a0...

That's a great point. I added some text to the demo document making that point, but I don't have actually relevant graphics or figures to add to it. If you have any suggestions for wording, just email me or open a GitHub issue. Ch
