Corporations are yet again making piracy look very appealing.

While this is nice, I'm gonna take the opportunity to plug Commit Mono because it's my favorite monospace font https://commitmono.com/.

Thanks for mentioning it! First time I heard about Commit Mono. The first paragraph already had me wondering how a monospace font can read this well.

Turns out it has smart kerning, ie. character positions are subtly adjusted to compensate for different character widths. For example, i is narrow and m is wide. That causes words like "commit" to look bad in standard monospace fonts. The m's in the middle are very densely spaced and there are wide gaps around the i.

I'll be testing Commit Mono in my editors. Maybe it will even make me switch SilverBullet back to a monospace config.

Wow this is highly legible, my eyes and brain really like this. I think I’ll start using it actually.

I don't know if there is some sarcasm here. I was intrigued by the "smart kerning" feature mentioned but with both that very low contrast ratio and the small text size, I can't really see a thing on that website.

Press or click "C" for high contrast and "+" for zoom.

No sarcasm here haha, I see what you mean though now that I look at it

1000000% agree. I'm currently interviewing for new jobs and when I hear that they use Microsoft Teams it's always a red flag. Not a deal breaker, but a red flag nonetheless. It is truly awful.

Very wholesome :) I like it

can't even make a coffee at home without being tracked

why is OpenAI wasting their efforts on implementing ads if they are apparently close to AGI?

I would assume the skill set for implementing ads is quite different than the skill set for developing new models, so it’s quite reasonable to expect different teams are working on each

AGI will most likely have told them that this is the cheapest way to become rich.

This goes way over my head and I don't understand most of it lol. I noticed you're still in the middle of getting your B.S. degree and you're already writing things like this...amazing.

I'm trying to get back into a Software/Infrastructure/DevOps Engineer role rather than my current position as a Cloud Support Engineer. I would describe myself as a mid-level engineer, but the goal is to reach a senior level title at a company with a high bar.

Maybe I've been desensitized by all the "Subscribe now" pop ups that take over your entire browser, but seeing the subscription box inline with the rest of the text didn't bother me too much.

I kinda am for shorter, shallower content that I'll likely skim over, but this article is a properly written essay and the contrast is just jarring.

I went through a similar journey not too long ago. I also asked myself "Why does highlighting even need to be in color?" when reworking my blog. I wanted a monochromatic look for my entire site, including code blocks. I noticed code blocks are still very readable as long as there's different tones. I still like pretty colors so I compromised by doing normal syntax highlighting when a code block is hovered over (or tapped on mobile).

Btw the dynamic highlighting by clicking on the code is so cool. I may or may not steal that idea ;)
