Setting UI font metrics to ensure text appears vertically centered is a core principle at Yep! Type.
All my fonts follow this rule and will continue to do so. This ensures that text labels are balanced within containers like buttons and list items, and align perfectly with icons.
It’s a small detail that makes a big difference in digital design.
@nikitonsky My guess is they’re phasing out GPT as they can not claim copyright over the name. They’ll probably go for Omni for their multimodal models.
The number one thing they could add to AirPods is putting a LATCH ON THE CASE. Do a study of people dropping the fucking AirPods and having them pop out like popcorn. I don't want a smaller case, different shape case, I want a case that STAYS CLOSED. #AppleEvent

This brings to mind the section of the 1982 Adm. Grace Hopper lecture (then Capt.) about a mathematical treatment of analyzing code change propagation.
where she talks about the system never stabilizing.
Of course the answer is to lock down the inter-module interfaces and subject them to a more rigorous change management. Hard to do with wild-west libraries.

We want to express our deepest appreciation to our sponsor NextJournal (https://nextjournal.com ), THE notebook for reproducible research, who believed in our vision for the Heart of Clojure conference. Not only did they sponsor Heart of Clojure 2019, they are our first confirmed sponsor this year.
@nikitonsky nope, it was actually one of the most user-hostile upgrades: switch to 64-bit only, added Catalyst crap, and broke AppleScript for a bunch of native apps (eg Notes). You’d need to go pre-macOS, pre-flat-icon for a decent operating system for the Mac.
Blown away how much sense using Unix domain sockets for nREPL makes.
We already use .nrepl-port files, right? But instead of using that file directly, we write a number inside and then go to a completely different place to connect.
Well, with Unix domain socket you CAN use that file directly!
Plus:
- No need for port randomization!
- Meaningful names!
- File auto-deletes when your process dies
That's so obvious in retrospect! And yet we all missed it.
