Sounds like you're expecting the AI-based tools that are finding bugs to also provide fixes. I've been dealing with a bunch of AI-generated (or at least -assisted) vulnerability re…

Just to confirm, I'm seeing the same issue on other repos. Sometimes a subset of the expected PRs show up, other times none at all.

An example worth considering is TeX, which is now 43 years old (considering only TeX82; the earlier TeX78 was a substantially different piece of software). There has been some main…

Except that it's not clear whether the intelligence† that underlies their homing ability is equally effective in helping them evade predators. †Is "intelligence" even the right wor…

Glad to see you didn't acknowledge your source! :-) (It's Tom Lehrer, for any who don't recognize it.)

"Some of you may die but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make."

Does the article's "Example 31" look correct to anyone? I see no "small space between the two boxes" (as claimed) in any of the browsers I tried.

How large does the field have to be? I grow some in my back garden...does that count as zero, then?

Yes, agreed! The first time I visited San Antonio (as a Brit who was based in Dallas for some months) happened to be at exactly that time. We didn't know anything about it, but fou…

It does, but those would only be applied if the `font-variant-ligatures: historical-ligatures` property were specified, so they don't appear on this site.

Specifically, `font-variant-ligatures: discretionary-ligatures` enables this. (So does `font-feature-settings: "dlig" 1`, which is the low-level equivalent; the site includes both.…

Ah, remembering the phone-book Inside Mac volumes! Those were the days. (Kids these days with StackExchange and Copilot have no idea.... now get off my lawn!)

Some years ago I was very frustrated, as a UK citizen visiting the States and suffering from congestion, that I was completely unable to buy it because I wasn't carrying suitable I…

As a test for your browser's internationalisation support, try data:text/html, ijmuiden In Firefox, this displays correctly as "IJmuiden" (thanks to the lang attribute; without tha…

It looks like for some reason Firefox isn't being served the same source as Safari or Chrome. In those browsers, the filename is wrapped in , , and elements, and followed by . But …

That's how my mother used to do it, but I've found that you don't actually need to use "lots of fat" -- you can get good results with much less (just enough oil or goose fat to cov…

For something that's more of a substantial story than things like Cars & Trucks or Busy Busy Town , let me put in a word for Peasant Pig and the Terrible Dragon . My kids had it pr…

Another issue you'd run into, I suspect, is that in practice text engines/editors/etc will often repaint only fragments of the content, and so the syntax highlighter would not nece…

A minor detail, but the MIME type should be `font/woff` (or `font/woff2` if appropriate), not the nonstandard `application/x-...`. (E.g. see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/doc…

I tried it (via Firefox DevTools) on your example page by inserting a @font-palette-values rule alongside the @font-face that loads the font: @font-palette-values --mycolors { font…

Interesting - thanks. I'm on 17.1; time to apply a macOS update, I guess.

Would LaTeX apply the 'calt' lookups? I don't think so. XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX should be able to do that, though I'm not sure offhand whether they successfully embed color fonts into …
