I'm not sure why this is at the bottom. There's sarcasm and exaggeration, but it's a very legitimate point. [edit: ok, no longer gray and at the bottom.] Read through the wikipedia page[0] on how it's not recognized by m

I don’t think this is really bloat. Opentype supported ligatures in ‘96. Postscript Type 1 and even Knuth’s TeX supported ligatures to a certain extent. It’s a pretty standard base-level feature for any sort of typesetting. Imo this is akin

The month or two thing will work for some exposures, but the bummer reality is that these sites are terrible and the worst of them take persistence and escalation to remove, which can take some time. (I've been working for one of the a

Lots of people saying it’s not for them. Anyone actually using Dev Mode? How’s it helping you? (Not an astroturf; I’m in the former camp myself.)

I tried Apollo early on and it was a bit too bare-bones. After all the news, I gave it another whirl for the past month and it’s very nice . After previously using the official app, it was a breath of fresh air to see a native video player

Groups.io was founded by Mark Fletcher[0], who in '97 started the mailing list service that Yahoo! eventually bought and turned into their Groups product. They're about 10 years in and he posts weekly changelogs and updates[1]. No

Yahoo! Groups lasted 19 years. I co-admin a large group that had to find a new home when it was killed off. We went to a third party (groups.io) that accepts money in exchange for services. Will that have longevity? No idea, but it's a

Lots of negative comments so far, but this is much preferable to having every brand trend towards plain san-serif wordmarks[0] that will be easier to use. Much closer to something like the evolution the Coke brand[1], which occasionally ref

Yeah, that’s what’s missing here: experimentation on how to make it work. I’ve tried this by re-using grounds, but also adding fresh grounds on top. (About half as much as i’d normally use.) It still comes out a bit watery, but much closer

If you’d like a no-setup, no-tools, no-cost way to just start messing around, the WebAudio API[0] isn’t a bad place to start. It has its shortcomings, but in many ways mimics the logic of a real synth. They’ve got a synth[1] tutorial that w
