This doesn't really scale, and it doesn't really solve the problem for your (potential) users to wash your hands of software delivery like this.

Fair enough, but that move should make you think twice before tying your fate to theirs.

I ran into this problem recently on one of our blog posts: we used some Claude output which included tables drawn with Unicode line drawing characters. However, our monospace font did not include these characters, and so rendering fell back

Another interesting related technology is electromechanical vane display clocks: https://youtu.be/AradTqh0cuM . Each segment is shown (or sometimes obscured) mechanically!

Really nice explanation! One note: pg_repack is an extension, but Postgres 19 will get a built-in REPACK command: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/19/sql-repack.html .

Great point, but if the 2% are served graceful degradation rather than a broken site, that's probably okay.

Right. Backups don't matter. Restores matter.

You could prompt them through the material. But you're right, that's only gonna take you so far if you don't know where they're having problems.

That would be a really interesting platform for an npm alternative. I think the incentives are a little better aligned than in the WordPress ecosystem, but maybe not enough.

In text boxes in some applications, enter submits the entered text, and ctrl-enter forces a newline (not at my computer, but I think Slack does this). In others, it's the other way around (pretty sure GitHub does this for comments). I

So it's basically GPLv3-or-later but with veto power of the "-or-later" part by the maintainer (but not the contributor). That's pretty clever. And, since you're asking someone to maintain your contribution, it also

+1 for Foto. I was also using Instagram through a photography lens and fell off when it got totally unsuitable for that. Foto is pretty good so far.

Stop blogging on medium. I start to read your post and as I'm scrolling down the page, I get a full-page modal nagging me to subscribe. Why should I listen to anything you have to say about user experience?

The problem is having to look in a different file for styling a component, and having to come up with a name for (at least one) CSS class per component. In traditional CSS, classes are intended to be reusable. You write a class definition o

The vibe is not the same, but Jonah is likeable, Felicia Day and Patton Oswalt are good as the Mads, and the movie selection is fantastic: Reptilicus? Munchie? The Christmas Dragon? Every film is a magnificent slice of different B-movie ter

I know why it apologizes, but the fact that it does is offensive. It feels like mockery. Humans apologize because (ideally) they learned that their actions have caused suffering to others, and they feel bad about that and want to avoid caus
