I'm often browsing hotels ahead of actually committing to any firm travel plans, so a message like "rooms available" suggests I likely have plenty of time to keep looking (and potentially going to another website to book), bu

The site doesn't load any webfonts. It only attempts to use already-installed "default" fonts from various systems. The GitHub readme[1] says Inter is a "user-installed" font, so I'm not really sure it should c

I think it's helpful to keep in mind that any design will be to some extent "OS-specific" for a lot of different reasons, available fonts being only one factor. I also think OS-specific design is perfectly appropriate for a l

Good point; the post even reinforces how the students couldn't use AI to do the whole assignment because in addition to writing the essay with ChatGPT, they also had to "write a reflection at the end on how the AI did". The A

My degree covered everything from copyright law to NoSQL databases. Most modern programs are highly interdisciplinary and students have wide latitude to select courses that suit their own interests. I did learn a little Dewey, though.

I don't now how iOS caches or retrieves that content, but I find it's not super reliable if the messages were more than a few days/weeks ago. When it works it's great, though.
