In a bout of blasphemy, I’d like to be slightly productive and learn something: The page header renders the “Y” in “Productivity” on a new line because mobile. Is there a reliable CSS method to say, “pick whatever font size fills the parent width without wrapping”?

Assuming the container is some percentage of the viewport you can use viewport units. Otherwise no you need JS sadly. Or a SVG.

I can’t believe it’s 2022, we getting closer to fusion power, but we still need JS for something like this. Crazy!

Hopefully the spirit of future christmas shows the w3c how to do this :)

I assume you are really talking about your current job at Twitter...

I know you are joking but Tesla had an entire team devoted to making sure Elon does not fuck up important things. I believe it is well documented that critical personnel were hidden when he was visiting the factories to avoid getting them rage-fired

I want to believe this but I can't find a source, can you share where you've read this?

Probably "productive" distractions, since you can do them a lot more before feeling bad and going back to work. Especially if you can silently get into the "fun" territory. I've actually had this with HN in the last days; I've ditched Reddit for HN because it contained a lot more worthwile content and valuable discussions [0], but with the Twitter shitshow I've come to enjoy a lot of snarky, unproductive discussions…

> I've ditched Reddit for HN because it contained a lot more worthwile content I found that at least for myself, this was just a lie I kept telling myself. HN contains almost zero actionable content, and I've not been an epsilon better off for reading it. I come to see it as infotainment.

HN is great for discovery but 90%+ of the comments have declined to ChatGPT levels.

I have found Leechblock useful in Firefox - it allows blocking or a delay before showing a page with a reminder this is a time waster site.... https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/leechblock-ng...

Leechblock is incredibly helpful and has saved my innumerable amount of unproductive hours. It is highly customisable.

I suspect it's sarcasm:

> PayPal had an automatic github-algorithm [...] before they managed to coup him as CEO

Musk stepped down as CEO of PayPal in 2000, predating not just Github, but git itself by 5 years.
