Exciting news for fans of typography!

"For decades, software like Adobe InDesign and LaTeX has evaluated multiple lines of text at a time as they decide where to end one line and begin the next. It’s just that the web didn’t use a multiline algorithm. Until now.

We are excited to bring this capability to the web for the first time, in Safari Technology Preview 216."

@skinnylatte They should rename all the other streets up to 16th as well, imho

@skinnylatte What are they doing instead?

I'm trying to drink less, but find that so much of our social culture seems to revolve around it in an unhealthy way

@skinnylatte I think it's an event venue or something now right?

@skinnylatte Film must be rare enough nowadays that they would be doing a great service if they let you opt in to having your contact info shared with other people ordering the same film lol

@skinnylatte Classification question: At what point does it cease to be congee and become something else?

@skinnylatte What are the places he likes? I'm intrigued

@skinnylatte @trochee For an all-cash transaction, what proportion of your liquid net worth would be okay? Like, if you have $2M in savings and liquid investments, buying a house for $2M seems like a big risk as you lose diversification.

If there's a downturn in Bay Area tech, you'd both lose your job and the equity in your home - is that an acceptable risk for most people?

@skinnylatte Is there a rule for what the next gift in the sequence is supposed to be?

@skinnylatte Hmm, this is less than I expected for you haha. Is this your cottage or something?

@aaronbieber @wall_e @pluralistic Who needs version control when we have zip files?

@linux_mclinuxface @sszuecs Do you see docs problems as distinct from OSS sustainability as a whole?

I think docs are often kinda rough because many projects are driven by volunteers, and writing good docs takes time and skill.

What are your thoughts?

@linux_mclinuxface I'd be lying if I said that I didn't give preference to projects with more stars, there's a social proof element to it, but I agree that it's a dumb metric. It's also just super prominent and there's not that much to go off of when selecting a project. Otherwise, I look at the readme and docs.

Biggest factor for me is how I come to know the project. Often someone mentions it and if they've used it then it seems more legit to me.

I should probably pay more attention tbh

@skinnylatte I'm often skeptical of farmer's markets because of how bougie they are, and also this: https://youtu.be/YYwB63YslbA

@jtk @ricci Does that mean port 0 is a valid port? Or is port 0 the absence of a port? What happens if you use that for the destination port?

@dalias I wonder if you could plug it into wired Ethernet if you had a USB C adapter

@dalias My SSID is an emoji, and the Switch can connect to it but not display it (it's just an empty box, lol)

@skinnylatte Wow! What did you make??

@inthehands @dalias @sroccaserra @dymaxion @kevinriggle @jenniferplusplus I'm not sure if the problem is excess money or an inefficient market (lots of dumb ideas get lots of funding while lots of good ideas don't.) Or maybe the problem is that we have lots of money but we're insufficiently creative with respect to how we allocate it?

Probably, an issue is that people with control of capital chase returns for their own sake, instead of being a byproduct of doing something useful

@skinnylatte Maybe I should take a look at it! Do you have an affiliate code lol
