    Something like that! But for any font. I think fontTools instancer could work here, though it’s a CLI: https://fonttools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/varLib/instancer....

    Design is not moving pixels around in Photoshop or Figma. CMU grad could be a designer, but to be a great designer you do have to have... well, taste. Figma didn’t change that one …

    ...so it is the Pareto font indeed!

    Yeah, but it’s a third party mechanical keyboard with a Touch ID sensor. I suppose if one came across a pile of old / broken Magic keyboards, they could extract a bunch of Touch ID…

    https://meet.hn/ is tangential but not quite for meetups, just discovering who lives nearby. Could be a good starting point though!

    It’s vibe coded but it’s not slop . There’s a lot of human input here. So either the author overlooked the elevation issue or it was a deliberate decision, but in any case you can’…

    Not all banks do SEPA Instant, yeah. I suppose the answer to that is connecting using PSD2 and sending the payment request then checking payment actually went out (using something …

    Yep, the duopoly is pretty strong. There are national card networks (which sometimes make their own tap-to-pay apps!), but if you want universal acceptance you’ve got to deal with …

    Looked it up – the pilot script is from 2015, wow! (“Attention is All you Need”, the paper GPT-1 was based upon, is from 2017.)

    From the first lines I’ve thought the post was set in the series (probably because of the name Mark), but apparently there’s no connection here. (Though thinking about it... severe…

    Which is also weird considering most of formats are just opened in a WebView with a respective JS-based viewer. Surely it can be backported?
