    Might as well give up on CSS and just use brutalist HTML in that case.

    In the hexagons, 30-degree lines could be considered as well — there might even be solutions when treated analogously to pandiagonal magic squares.

    There was a time when these were considered super sharp high-resolution monitors. Fonts tended to be more optimized for (sub)pixel-level hinting in the past, though, while newer fo…

    It’s unclear what the big advantage is over `print("Age: "+age)`. It’s even more characters, in that specific example.

    I regularly listen to recent music, but often tracks I explicitly search for, and autoplay based on those I “liked”. My “Liked Music” playlist has several thousand entries, so I su…
