fsd is doing a black friday sale of pragmata pro, the font i use all the time, it's just one person running a font company - if you feel like spending $$ on a good font, i recommend it fsd.it/shop/fonts/p...

PragmataPro coding font designed by Fabrizio Schiavi

Monospaced font designed for coding and for engineering. It contents more than 10000 glyphs TrueType handinted for best possible readability at low sizes

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

i don't resent llms but this is real

absolute horses@jcoglan.com · 12mo ago

part of my resentment towards LLMs is to do with them crowding out anything else we could be talking about. there are so many things I could be reading to get better at my craft but I'm presented with "you should actually get worse at it on purpose because nothing matters any more"

Tumblr being a good web site again is the funniest shit that's ever happened to me in my life.

Everyone, even the folks with the nuclear codes, is entertaining themselves online as the world burns. Posting through it and monitoring the situation until it finally reaches their doorstep and forces them to look up from their phone and log off. www.garbageday.email/p/all-we-hav...

Write flat tests. No "describe", no scenario nesting, no beforeEach/afterEach hooks (as a rule). Each test case is self-contained, listing all the setup it needs. Use Symbol.dispose for reliable cleanup. Use granular test cases. ☝️ These things will make your tests shine.

Just finished one of the best bike rides of my life: Gdańsk to Sopot, along the Baltic. What a fantastic coastal cycle way.

companies are not legally required to maximize profits (that's misinfo) and people are not legally required to maximize their short-term productivity if it feels terrible!

bluesky users: being so hostile to brands and new users is gonna kill the platform!!! me, coming from tumblr:

Europe's oldest known zoo animal, Marta the alligator, will celebrate her 95th birthday in Poland tomorrow. Marta, who first arrived at Płock Zoo in 1960, has outlived the typical lifespan of her species by decades.

Coal produced less than half of Poland's power for the first time ever last month. Meanwhile, the share of renewables rose to 34.2%, as Poland slowly moves away from fossil fuels. For more, read our full report: bit.ly/4dj8XyL

RSC is components for API

every day the CSS spec moves closer to supporting the Persona 5 menu while web design ethos moves further away from it

"It didn’t feel like a platform which one had to upkeep and align to one’s real world persona... For most, it was a personal space—a blog—that one could always return to at any time. There are no expiry dates on always." I loved reading this about my beloved @tumblr.com. vogue.sg/tumblr-era-o...

Welcome back to weird. I'm back in my Tumblr era—and I've never felt more at home

The time I went back to reclaim my little corner of the Internet on the beloved social blogging platform we all know as Tumblr.

Ten years ago, one question tore the internet in half: blue and black or white and gold? 👀👗 It's The Dress's 10th anniversary, and we’re celebrating with the person who made it go viral: @tumblr.com's Cates Holderness (@cates.bsky.social.) Relive the infuriating, internet-breaking sensation! 🧵

Historically (like, for the past decade), I’ve used SVG if <20 things were moving and Canvas for 20+. But I think the threshold nowadays is in the hundreds. The lowest anyone has reported so far is 4900 SVG <circles> being the threshold 😲

Everyone I know who fell in love with TS had a period of thinking it totally sucked

It's Twitter, 2024. Posters have moved en masse to BlueSky. Elon Musk tweets a meme of Left Shark saying "the woke virus strikes again." A handful of divorced 50-year-olds in Big Dog t-shirts respond "lmao EPIC sir." All is well

Research shows that right-on-red causes pedestrians and cyclists to get hit. The US is the only rich country where ROR is legal. It was introduced in the 1970s as a way to save gas during the oil crisis, and then we just … kept it. www.fastcompany.com/90908929/its...

It’s time to ban ‘right-on-red’

Right-on-red turns are dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists, and yet they're still widely allowed across the U.S.

Waking up at 6am after the flight is the experience I wouldn’t expect to enjoy. But I am. Liking the morning vibes this city has. Much less overwhelming.

4am at the airport. At least two people around me are drinking beer. How?
