I'm pretty excited about this. In general it looks fine, but I really gotta ask - why do browsers always redesign tabs? They don't change in functionality for the most part and yet they always get refreshed. Regardless, excited to

Iirc the reason browsers don't have knuth-plass justification is because it runs in O(n^2), but even so my research tells me justification reduces retention because your mind retains the "shape" of ragged text. I don't h

Overall a good post - but I'm not a fan of the constant off-hand jabs at codes of conduct from someone who got banned for "conduct issues." " But if everyone got offended and quit a project over someone saying mean 30 y

Also a zoomer...I don't know if I agree with the sentiment but my experience was similar. Made my first computer in 6th grade, evidently I did something wrong because I was debugging crashes on that machine for 6 years. Also significan

The wikipedia article on NIAC - the National Iranian American Council, which seems to be an Iran state-sponsored organization, is guarded by their members. Luckily Wikipedia is fairly good at pointing it out in this instance: > A major

This sentiment of "modern web has failed" is echoed often but it is always a generalization. Do I want to stab my eyes out every time I go to a news site? Probably. But there are good websites out there, many of which are "mo

1) Killing your own civilians is an interesting retaliation move against a foreign power. 2) In my family, the death of Qasem Soleimani was, and I don't mean to be insensitive, the death of a imperialist tyrant supporter. Iran does not

It is also almost the anniversary of Iran shooting down and killing 176 Iranians/Iranian-Canadians, including people I know.[1] Iran is in its own right a regional imperialist, though it is nice to get some code interchange going. Me a

Hmm, why would that be? The patches are all vetted by the suckless people, but there might be something I'm not thinking of.

I recommend against running any musl distros as daily drivers, despite what else they may have going for them at this point. Source: ran Alpine as a daily driver for 3 months

Simplicity of implementation vs simplicity of use (as well as simplicity for a beginner vs simplicity for an advanced user). A suckless tool (lets say st) is a simpler implementation. Easier to port, less likely to have bugs, less likely

I agree, the accessibility point is important precisely because a lot of the growth of these bureaucracies is to accommodate more people. Being able to identify why these bureaucracies are growing (hint: it's not just because they

A small study into what fonts people find easiest to read. Came from a point of frustration on the lack of valuable discussion around typography on the web. Feedback is very welcome, though I certainly don't recommend looking at the s
