  1. How was this masonry layout possible back in the 90s?
  2. Before this happened, 7-bit ASCII variants based on ISO 646 were widely used.
  3. ChatGPT's translation:

    Panel 1 Waiter: "Sir, I’d like to ask you to take off your cap in this restaurant." Smurf: "Take off my cap? You’re not asking me to take off my pants, are you?!"

    Panel 2 Waiter: "That’s not the same." Smurf: "That is the same."

    Panel 3 Cook (to waiter): "Let him put his cap back on." Waiter: "That’s maybe better."

  4. Off topic, but I wonder why the author is using _both_ Substack and his old website [1]. Is this a new trend?

  5. This is awesome! A mere upvote wouldn't be enough to point this out, thanks for sharing.
  6. In the case of termux, by far my favorite app, I have more than 2GB of locally installed packages. How would that work with a browser?
  7. It does if single or double quotes are used, right? Which would be necessary (or preferred to multiple backslashes) quite often.
  8. Where 500 years ago?
  9. Indeed, CSS is so massive it has long been a collection of standards. Good luck implementing all that.
  10. This is a timely coincidence for me. I started using yesterday Shortcat [1] for the Mac, and I'm very pleased. It gives you access to pretty much everything with the keyboard, not just the browser. To be fair, Nyxt provides other features such as scripting.

  11. This looks amazing, congratulations! I can see that it seems to run offline (curl says "# requires networking"), but if I launch it on airplane mode on an iPhone it halts. Is this the expected behavior? Also, is it possible to install packages? These two things could address some of the shortcomings of iSH. Thanks!!
  12. Could you elaborate? I always found the "grading on a curve" a distinctly American approach that leads to grade inflation and an overall lower academic level. Now, granted, the US provides very unique opportunities for students that want to go above and beyond, but that's another story.
